Clarkson won and Princeton is leading Bemidji going into the third. This could be a very favorable weekend as far as Cornell is concerned.

Was scrolling thru the standings and came upon something strange: do the NCHC/WCHA award 3 points for a win and 1 for a tie?

I believe they awarded extra points for the shootout winner (yes, they use shootouts in those leagues ::cuss:

They have a shootout if tied in OT. In such a case the points are 2 for the shootout winner and 1 for the loser. The shootout only counts for the league not the NCAA>

Anyone else notice that Q had 51 shots on goal Friday night?

Shame the Beanpot is scheduled for so late this year. This would be a hell of an interesting backdrop for it, bringing a ton of real meaning to the tourney, but the situation won't last until mid-February.

5t   Harvard                   54   7-2-1
5t   Boston College           54   12-4-1
5t   Boston University   54   8-4-1
...
30   Northeastern           30   5-6-4

Harvard's consolation game could be very important for them.

Guy Gadowsky does not suck as a coach.

That's an impressive record, until you look at the opponents. Notre Dame's the only surprise, as far as I'm concerned. Even Michigan isn't blue-chip this year. Most of Penn State's schedule so far is comprised of sub-#50 teams in the Pairwise.

Not that we've beaten any great teams either, but I also don't see anybody especially praising Mike.

Anyway, I suspect Penn State will have a serious regression to the mean in January and February.

I agree they will likely regress, but having watched some of their games, they do look like the real thing. That doesn't mean they'll win it all, but I suspect they'll be playing well into the playoffs.

Credit to Cam Hackett for allowing four goals, three on the power play and detention time for the RPI D.

They've outscored opponents 73-28.

They've outscored opponents 73-28.

And that contradicts in what way the assertion that the opponents they've outscored are, by and large, exceptionally weak?

I wouldn't bet on it. They're one of, if not the best, play driving teams in the country. And they've basically been impervious to score effects. Good teams beat up on bad teams, and PSU certainly has done that. Now I'm not saying they'll remain 13-1-1 pace, but they're going to compete for the Big 10 title.

Wasn't trying to contradict what you said, just adding to the convo.  But on that point, blowing out everybody is the sign of a great team, even if the opposition is weak.  The scores in those games are frankly absurd.
