Clarkson just blew it tonight. Princeton was mediocre at best but the Knights are just sloppy. Hmm... here to hoping...

And the Tigers steal one in Potsdam. Lucky for the Knights this is not a 1-game eliminations as in Hockey East.

I don't know what we're hoping.

You're going to destroy Princeton.  They're terrible.

I reiterate my "if" statements. Dammit. We should have won that game like 6-2 with the chances we had. Post, wide, no-call muggings, and we still have no excuse for losing that game even a little bit.

Hoping to need to beat the national champs 4 of 5 to advance? I'd rather see a knights team that's had a rough second half.

Second ot underway in Canton.

... Hoping clarkson wears itself out winning Sunday and staggers into Ithaca

Goes to show this league still surprises come playoff time. Princeton was the one team who looked like they had packed it in for the season down the stretch. And this is why Harvard successfully lobbied to return to a best-of-3 round after 1992 happened. I still expect Clarkson to get together to advance, but lightning strikes yadda yadda.

I'd rather see Casey's boys come in next week than Agostino to tell the truth. No offense Clarkson fans, we're just snake bitten.

While I don't disagree with that sentiment, as we painfully remember from Bemidji State, hoping for a particular matchup is fraught with peril.

We would prefer to face Clarkson or Yale? We split 1-goal games with Clarkson. We beat Yale twice in 1-goal games, the second time in OT. In recent years we've thought of Yale as a quick team that is more of a threat to Cornell's style of play.
