blowing out everybody is the sign of a great team, even if the opposition is weak.

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

Q had 54 shots tonight in their loss to Union. ::yark::

RPI's nightmare season continues as they're getting steamrolled in New Haven. At this rate we might see 10 goals by the end of the night.

And we did, 7-3 final.

Quinnipiac gets handed their 3rd league loss by...Princeton, those Giant Killers. Rematch in Hamden tomorrow at 4pm.

Princeton winning is the best thing that can happen this weekend. New Hampshire winning tomorrow would also be good for pairwise.

[upprdeck]

Princeton has 4 wins and 3 of them over top 10 teams..

The 4th certainly wasn't against a Top 10 team.

Out of curiosity, why does it help us in the Pairwise when one of our opponents beats another one of our opponents?  Happy P won regardless because F Q.

In this case, we're in direct competition for an at-large bid with Q.  This was an especially convenient example since we just moved up to #15 (tied with UNO) and QU fell past us to #17. So, you're right, in the end this won't change a comparison in our favor, but it hurts a competitor.

It's a long horse race, etc.

And it narrows the gap in ECAC points in the all important race for home ice/bye. Q has now lost seven points over ten games to Cornell's five over seven.

Yale winning both of their next two games would also be nice, but I'm not so sure they're beating BU in that road game on Tuesday.

[TimV]

Now they have another one- USCHO lists this afternoons game at QPac as 4-1 Princeton.::banana::

Penn State has one draft pick on team, a 7th rounder.  Of course, most of the other top-ranked teams are loaded with picks.  4 1st-rounders on BU.

Sounds like Yale from a few years back: only 1 draft pick, but good coaching and an effective system.

That Yale team reminded me of a college football team running the option: success predicated on the talent level of the college game and the inability of the defense to deal with it.  It can't be run in the pros because there even the linemen and the linebackers run as fast as a good college halfback.  So it makes sense that the team can dominate at the college level but the pros don't see potential in the roster.
