Brief preview of the ECAC. Not a great write-up by any means, but a decent read for the end of August.

On the same SBN College Hockey / ECAC subsite, a whoopsie for a Clarkson not-ready-for-primetime player.

SLU's Hayton Makes Official His Move to Wisconsin

and the USCHO article.

Here's SLU's news release.

Obviously a major loss for SLU. They have a Junior, Brey. It looks like he started 2 games, losing to Wisc. and winning Canisius, with mop up in 2 others. A current Soph, Mannella, who mopped up 1 game and in-coming Frosh, Gray – Austin, Texas – 5-11, 175 lbs – Goaltender
 
"Gray joins the Saints goaltending corps after spending last season with the OJHL's Toronto Patriots. In 30 appearances he made 28 starts with 1743:36 minutes played, posted a 15-14-0 record, a 2.99 goals-against average and .914 save percentage. He also had a 2.84 goals against and .917 save percentage in four playoff appearances (1-3-0)."

The funny thing about that is the fact that St. Lawrence has two games in Wisconsin this upcoming season and Hayton would likely be starting against his old team twice.


In any case, I wouldn't be surprised if St. Lawrence were fighting for home ice near the end of the season. Even with Hayton, they haven't exactly been a top-tier team the past few years.

Looks at article.

Looks at predictions page.

Mutters expletive.

Pulls up Expression Web.

You must be a traditionalist who wants verbs in most sentences -- "Starting with reigning ECAC Champs and Frozen Four participant, the Harvard Crimson." Note writer Nick Beaudoin's status per the story's author bio: broadcast/journalism major at Quinnipiac.

I suppose it would be time to revive this topic since other teams have meaningful games this weekend? It's too early to really tell anything yet but Clarkson did take out Penn State yesterday.

Does anyone know why Colgate plays so many Saturday afternoon games? It could be my imagination but they seem to have more than their share of these.

Peewees have the rink reserved for 7?

This year I see as Saturday afternoon games Niagara, Arizona State (Family Weekend), Dartmouth, and AT Army, all at 4:00 PM.  We had Ottawa at 5:00 PM.  Could it be that they are sufficiently isolated that ASU needed some extra time to get home?

That way the games overlap with dinner, so the students can eat their free pizza at the correct time.

There is no joy in Canton.

Best Comment:

I had a free ticket to last Saturday's game and I am mad at the guy who gave it to me.

[Scersk '97]

And the daggers are already out for Morris after, what, one and a third seasons? Pretty impatient considering his past results, if you ask me.

It's taken Casey quite a while to right the ship at Clarkson. The SLUsers would do well to consider Morris the same kind of long-term hire. Whatever one might think of his reputed interpersonal skills or lack thereof, the guy wins. And, if I remember correctly, he knows how to run a clean program.

SLU is in a bad place right now. They lost some talent to graduation after last season but I don't think too many people expected them to be swimming in the toilet of the conference. They obviously have some offensive ability but have only won one game (a OOC in Wisconsin...go figure) since their season started in early October.

People here commit suicide when we give up a goal and call for Schafer's head after every loss.

People are fucking stupid.

Somewhere I also read that they have had quite a few injuries.
