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

[scoop85]

For how much longer is the ECAC tournament tied to Lake Placid? Have there been any developments on locations recently?

Last I heard it was through next year.  If Cornell and Clarkson are regulars they will have no trouble with attendance and I would expect another 3-year extension.

Last year was my 1st LP experience, and despite the longer drive it has Albany beat hands-down in every respect.

Not sure what to think of the ratings posted on CHN & USCHO. USCHO has us tied w/ ND for #1 in the pairwise, but CHN has us still #2. USCHO has us listed #2 in the RPI although both our raw RPI and our adjusted RPI are higher than ND's (.5954 > .5953 & .5974* > .5969*). CHN has us #1 in RPI, .597 > .595. But ND is still #1 in the KRACH on both.

CHN's is correct.

Sure CHN is correct, but there is really no difference between them. In both we are tied in pairwise comparisons won, 58 each. That's because ND wins the comparison with us, but they lose the comparison to Denver and we beat the Denver comparison. The easiest way to see that is on CHN's site, click on Pairwise Grid.

So both CHN and USCHO show the comparison at 58. That ties us with ND for first, so USCHO shows the tie. However I believe the tie-breaker is RPI and therefore ND gets the first spot.

Duluth crushing St.Cloud, 5-0 after 2.

Notre Dame and Minny scoreless starting the 3rd.

Denver losing 2-0 to NoDak in the 2nd.

Would it be too much to ask for Cornell & Clarkson to be 1 & 2 after tonight?  That would be fun.

Now heading in OT. The game is on ESPN2.

IMO hitting a PWR milestone on a Friday is like the Dow or NASDAQ breaking a record in the middle of the trading day.  Hopefully we win tonight and can see an uptick in the polls on Monday.

(And yes... much more important is our ranking and polls at the end of the season....)

At least we don't have a fat orange asshole tweeting about it every time we hit a PWR milestone.
