They're practicing for the Beanpot.

Princeton quietly stole a point from RPI last night, opening up Cornell's gap from third in percentage a tad.

Northeastern already with a 2-0 lead over St. Lawrence up in Canton and Princeton trailing Union 1-0 at home. Everything else is scoreless.

QU up 4-0 over Harvard near the end of the 1st period at MSG. It seems like this edition of QU might be just as good if not better than the one that got to the national championship game.

Q doing to Harvard what Ohio State did to us.

Not any more:  4-3 Q leads late 2nd

Folks at MSG ate getting their money's worth.  Now tied with less than 10 minutes left.

Going to overtime at MSG.

And the WHRB announcer has no idea what he's talking about re: OT NCAA tie rules.

So, the good news is Harvard drops a game:

A few friends and I decided to go last night for the experience of college hockey at MSG without the extreme emotional involvement. The reported attendance was around 12,000, but considering that a bunch of the lower bowl sections had a couple dozen people in them, I'd estimate the crowd to be in the 8-9K range. Completely inverted, as the upper bowl clearly had the most people, because that's where all the $25 seats were. Pricing was identical to Red Hot Hockey, $25, $50, $75, $125, $300. It's interesting to note that Harvard is charging $30 this year for the Lynah East game. During intermission, lines were very long upstairs, so I took the elevator downstairs and had no wait at concessions.

Under a careful scientific poll, Quinnipiac's bro-heim fans completely outnumbered Harvard's 6 jerk fans. I read that Yale turned down the offer to play Harvard at MSG for a third go-around, instead opting for a trip to Arizona, so QU was invited instead.

Both bands were much larger than they normally are, but were not mic'ed. Quinnipiac cheerleaders (eye-roll) were not present. During the first intermission, they had some sort of weird display demonstrating a bunch of activities people do on frozen water on different sections of the rink. There was curling, figure skating, sled hockey, and...other things. It was jumbled and confusing. 2nd intermission featured a good ol' pee-wee game. (Not, upon first inspection, more of the QU-Harvard game).

Mark Messier was there, and got big cheers when interviewed on the scoreboard, but Quinnipiac's president got a louder ovation.

Great game. Removing my own bias, the game was interesting as Harvard came back from that deficit. Replacing my bias, it was satisfying to see them lose, as always.

SLU/Clarkson 1-1 headed into the 3rd in Potsdam. St. Lawrence hasn't looked to good recently.
