You know what's not helping our strength of schedule a ton?

Since starting out 9-4-1, Niagara has gone 2-14-2.

Not that I suspect anyone was worried, but there is no set of results for tonight's two games (one AH, one HE) that would affect Cornell's spot in the PWR more than the tiniest insignificant amount.

Except for BU, all our NC opponents let us down.

Niagara. 6-3-1 before our game.  5-17-1 since.
Canisius.  10-5-1 before.  5-9-1 since.
Miami (2x).  6-6-2 before.  3-10-1 since.
UAH (2x). 1-3-0 before.  9-15-2 since.
BU.  6-7-1 before.  10-5-2 since.

Net: 26-43-5 .385 before.  44-81-7 .360 after.

Looks like an advertisement to stay clear of the "Big Red Machine".

It also shows we played a really, really shitty schedule this year.

ugarte

tied at 3 and the clock winding down in OT and Clarkson - Princeton have an actual brawl. not sure about punches (i saw a few swings but nothing squared up) but people thrown to the ice. wild.

there were no edits forget what it says down there

ACTUAL EDIT: well i guess the boxscore tells the story of the brawl as Riche of Princeton was hit with a cross-checking major and a DQ.

Jeff Hopkins '82

Gate-Union in OT and Princeton-Clarkson going to OT.  Both ties final now.

Sucks loses to Brown.

Duluth crushes Western, 8-0!  Wow.

dbilmes

Donato played for Harvard tonight and had a PP goal and an assist. So much for jet lag.

Iceberg

Dartmouth also takes out Yale, so they're locked into the 5th spot and will host SLU next weekend.

Nice OT win over North Dakota for Miami, which helps us in the Pairwise...but isn't a first-round road game vs ND becoming increasingly likely?

Forget about it.  If they're gonna rape us then they will.  All we can do is win.

greg's being hilariously edgy again and it's probably you who doesn't get it

St. Cloud State and Denver heading to OT on CBS Sports Network. A Denver win would vault them back over us and knock us down to #4, so we want St. Cloud or a tie.

I think his joke is historically backwards (and also historically bad) though
