For selfish reasons, I need us to move up to the 3 band or hope Yale drops out.  I already have my tickets for Bridgeport (though I suppose I could double up with Worcester depending on start times).

I would think the odds are probably fairly good that one of {Clarkson, Cornell, Yale} will wind up outside.  Adds just a little more urgency to the Saturday game.

Yale lost to Brown 3-1 last night and drops to 20.  Colgate beat Clarkson 3-2 and is now on the bubble at 16.  Clarkson holding on at 14 (tie with Notre Dame).

After Saturday, Colgate in at 15, Clarkson out at 16.  Yale is 18.

Guh, why?  Considering how we do against elite goaltenders, I'd like to avoid Gillies as long as possible.

Because Witt of NE is also very good, and if we get buy either of those, I'd much prefer Q over BC. I think it would be a better path to FF.

As long as we're in Bridgeport I don't care who we play. (Sub-caveat: as long as we make the tournament I don't care where we play but also Bridgeport, please.)

Eh I'd prefer we play whatever makes us most likely to get to Broad Street.

It is an even year, that means that BC will win the national championship.  So if we have to meet BC, let it be in the finals so we can break this pattern.

Think that also applied to Valley Forge as well. Not to mention I'd rather be in Philly right now.

Bridgeport would be great as I already have 2 tickets and plan on going there!   If  Cornell makes it there WONDERFUL -   LGR
