NCAA Tournament

[Jim Hyla]

I remember all the talk on this board a couple years ago about how well Yale's system would hold up on a national level, but seems to me regardless of the result today, that they have been skating evenly with both NoDak and Minnesota yesterday.  Certainly no major shot disparities like  some of the Cornell games against those teams.

This is their payback for 2011, when I thought they got jobbed a bit.

We'll see how well their system holds up next year with potentially shaky goaltending.

And without Miller.

They've lost a number of great players over the last few years.

Here's who they lose.

8 Josh Balch F Sr. 5-9 180 Wilmette, IL / Desmoines, Chicago (USHL)
21 Colin Dueck D Sr. 6-2 220 Calgary, AB / Nanaimo (BCHL)
28 A. Laganiere F Sr. 6-4 215 Ile Cadieux, QUE / Deerfield Academy
33 Jeff Malcolm G Sr. 6-2 185 Lethbridge, AB / Quesnel (BCHL)
31 Nick Maricic G Sr. 6-2 212 Alta Loma, CA / Tri-City (USHL)
17 Andrew Miller F Sr. 5-10 180 Bloomfield Hills, MI / Chicago (USHL)

Certainly Miller, but Malcolm has to be the toughest to replace. Anybody know about any goalie recruits that they are getting?

However this is the team that I waiting to see how they regroup. Q

Whereas, while we're on this line of inquiry, RPI loses practically nobody.  Casey continues to rebuild at Clarkson. Perhaps Harvard finally fires Teddy?

I have to think that next year is the year that the traditional powers of the ECAC (RPI, SLU, Clarkson, Harvard, and, well, us) reassert themselves.

Perhaps it's time for Q to go with the empty net, a la Parker.

Not sure why people here want Yale to keep winning.  It doesn't actually do Cornell any bit of good because the rankings are computerized, and I don't want Cornell to no longer be the team that has gotten the farthest in the NCAA tourney in recent memory.  

Nonetheless, it's official: Yale is better than Cornell at hockey right now.  I don't mean this current team, I mean the entire current program.  They've now been doing this for an extended period of time, despite losing players to graduation, with a great system that Cornell can't ever beat.

So... "extended period of time" = 6 years?  Troll, or too young to understand time?

The more accurate statement would be that Yale is better than Harvard right now, i.e., that they've replaced Harvard as the second-best Ivy.

6 years IS a long time in college sports.  That said, I disagree with his conclusion.

This time I have to agree with BearLover's saying extended period of time. To me having done it over a number of graduating classes qualifies. That's why I was never a Q fan, they built up to one great class, now, but haven't shown any consistency. Next year they could fall to near the bottom. Yale and probably Union have shown that they are for real.

I could also see Calgary asking Agostino to leave.

Given that the Taylor legacy is now well and truly dead at Yale, I will say that Allain does seem to be for real and, thus, Yale will be until he leaves or proves himself unworthy.  But I'd still like to see how they respond to a down period.

Canisius and Q are now tied 3-3. 3rd. 8:30 min to go as I post

I meant the combined effect of the last 4 classes.  I did a post on it a while ago, I don't remember the thread, but IIRC they've lost 6 guys > 100 pts with several > 150.

[French Rage]

Q up 4-3.  Q fans on their feet and slapping their thundersticks in excitement.

[Trotsky]

Q up 4-3 with 8 seconds to go.

[Trotsky]

Jesus, Canisius had a textbook chance with 1 second to go but Hartzell saves it and Q wins.

And now they're done.
