Opponents News 2: Hockey's the Reason for the Season

[ugarte]

It's sad that their program kind of fell apart this year.

That said, I hope Cornell wins tonight.

SLU has had a good couple of weeks, sweeping the Y/B weekend and pasting Colgate last night 5-2. I hope last week's RPI game was instructive.

"Pasting" Colgate indeed :-}

i would climb the highest mountain to speak to the most powerful wizard to make a wish to take that back

Tie for second in the league now between Clarkson and Union.

[ugarte]

Clarkson blows a 2 goal lead with 10 to play and ties Colgate 4-4, so we are now up 4 with 4 to play.

Ohio State is blowing out Notre Dame - now 5-1.

Harvard beat BC 5-4 in OT in the Beanpot consy, which I imagine will be helpful for our PWR.  Now we hope BU beats Northeastern in the championship game for a further boost.

Did it make the real OT rule or was it one of those dumb tourney tie breakers?

Edit: 02:43 of OT.  Good.

Interesting how after PWR has tracked RPI almost exactly since December, now 2 and 3 are inverted.

Not likely.  NU is up 4-1 after 2.

Northeastern has a scary top line. They're the kind of team that can make either make a run or fizzle out in their first big game (almost like Union last year).

[upprdeck]

I saw NE play once live..  they have really good speed on the top line,  they play almost no solid D on the backend, if you can get the puck in deep. but they also play keep away at times on the offensive end..

2018 Beanpot final: Northeastern 5, BU 2. First time in 30 years, 5th title in 66 years for Northeastern. http://www.uscho.com/recaps/2018/02/12/boston-university-vs-northeastern-2/

And we're back up to 3rd in the pairwise.

It wasn't the Sucks win.  We were still 4th after that.  Maybe Air Force's loss today?  IDK.

St.Cloud and Western tied 5-5.

Michigan leading Notre Dame 4-2 halfway through the third.

Both games now final with those scores.

...and bizarrely, with the RPI as tiebreak, CHN has us moving up to #3 but Notre Dame up to #2, with Denver sliding to #4.
