YUCK...WE LOST

[Al DeFlorio]

For what it's worth, Jim, two summers ago I asked Ned how he got Dryden away from Princeton (with the latter being part of the conversation).  Ned said he told Ken that he should go to Princeton if he wanted to become the best goalie in the country at turning around and sweeping the puck out of his own net.  Ken just laughed.  True?  Who knows.

I've said this before, but think it's worth noting again.

We have not won in overtime this season.  Now, our record is 0-3-1 in ot.

I know 4 games is a small sample, but 0-3-1 is not a pretty record.

Could it be because we are pressuring to get the gwg?  Afterall, we only have 1 tie for the entire season thus far.

Could it be that we run out of gas?  Not likely, cause we've had some last-minute-heroic wins as well.

Any thoughts?

greg-
i wish it were the case that dartmouth is gonna plummet to the bottom...but it seems that they have a pretty decent recruiting class next year.  in contrast, i feel that with the graduation of this year's junior class next year, we may be take a slight dip :`( lets hope that this year's national recognition boosts schafer's ability to recruit. incidentally, i think cornell and colgate are the only ECAC teams this year to NOT have any '06 recruit (so far) from the US. are we travel partners for canadian recruiting trips too? ::rolleyes::

Well hopefully they can pull it together tonight and win....we got to beat Vermont, they suck! LET'S GO RED! ::laugh::

That record was exactly what was running through my head the last 5 min of third period and throughout OT. my apologies to all if this jinxed us. i know that the win streak couldn't go on indefinitely and that the team had to lose sometime ... just wish that it wasn't to Dartmouth - AGAIN!Good luck to Princeton and Yale next week-end! Kick some BIG GREEN butt!

[Dart~Ben]

Don't worry Melissa, after becoming the victims of Dartmouth's first 4-point road weekend since 1980, I'm sure Yale and Princeton will give the Big Green 2 more W's and the Ivy Title this weekend.

BTW, apparently the celebration on Saturday after our come from behind win against Colgate got a little out of hand - the bench behind the visitor penalty box where most of the Dartmouth team's frat brothers sit is completely broken.

Like I said before, if you can get that excited about beating CU & CU, then good luck;-) in the tournaments.

mmmmm...woofing...

[GoBigRed \'03]

But I do appreciate, Ben Flickinger, your relative objectivity on the rest of the board.  You can have the Ivy, as long as we get to have the ECAC title.

[Ben Doyle 03]

:-) Second that motion. . .all in favor? :-)
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. . .::laugh::

Appears the I's have it. . .motion passed.

[Dart~Ben]

well, since you only need one win or for us to lose once, and we have that whole North Country trip coming up, I think I'll have to concede you the ECAC title.

But definitely not Lake Placid. ;-)

[littleredfan]

the "ECAC title" is won at lake placid. you are conceding to us the RS ECAC title, which means next to nothing actually.

[Keith K]

...even though it should mean something....
(He says, unable to resist trying to stir up that old argument. Vic? :-) )

[Dart~Ben]

I've always thought of Conference Champions as being the regular season winners and Conference Tournament Champions as the post-season winners, but that's just me.

[Keith K]

Historically you'd be wrong, at least in the case of the ECAC.  Champion is clearly the tourney winner.  Made sense in the days before the split when there were no set schedules.  It's not really fair to crown a conference champion based on disparate sets of games.  Nowadays, with the home and home round robin I think the RS gives a better indication of best team and thus champion.  My opinion of the tourney will drop further next year when even lowly Vermont would get in at #12.
Not that I don't want to win the tournament, mind you.
(Again, he tries to stir up the argument, just for fun...)
