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

Notre Dame vs. Minnesota, full game, 200 x 100 sheet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlF0dRECUI0&feature=youtu.be

Notre Dame is up 3-1 in the third. If you want to watch, https://www.foxsportsgo.com/event/326428/college-hockey-notre-dame-at-minnesota

Trying, but pretty sure you can't watch it unless you also already get that channel in your lineup on cable or FiOS.

i think if you have FS1 you can watch any of the regional stuff online. At least I can.

Turns out you're correct, so I can stream it on my laptop, but not on the FS Go app on my iPhone for some reason, and mirroring to the AppleTV from the laptop sucks. The game's essentially over anyway, and Notre Dame's about to retake the lead in PWR by virtue of their higher RPI.

Princeton Announces it will hold Champions Weekend on Feb. 17

The Princeton men's hockey program is pleased to announce it will hold Champions Weekend on Feb. 17 to honor the championship teams of 1998 and 2008.

A ceremonial puck drop will be held with Princeton hockey alums and Stanley Cup champions George Parros '03 and Kevin Westgarth '07.

Neither of whom were on the championship teams.::screwy::

Really?  For an ECAC title?

Notre Dame's win over Minnesota puts them back up to #1 and drops us to #2.  And St. Cloud is nipping at our heels.

Once again we're the only team in the PWR with no Quality Inn bonus points.

Can't even get a free room.

Just in case anybody was wondering, Tuesday night's travel partner tilt featuring Princeton at Quinnipiac will not affect our PWR position regardless of the result.

If I'm not mistaken we recently clinched home ice advantage in the playoffs. Since the theoretical maximum league points by the 9th place team is 22 (in an absurd situation where there's a 12-way tie at 22 points), by passing that mark against Harvard we guaranteed at least 8th place. Realistically there's probably a way to model out the point at which everyone ending with a 22 point tie becomes no longer possible (example, if St Lawrence won all of their remaining games to get to 22 points that means others would have to lose, and Princeton and Quinnipiac still have to play RPI again, so it's conceivable that would make the maximum achievable points by the 9th place team less than 22 at this point). So maybe we clinched home ice against Colgate. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that if we win out next weekend against Union and RPI and Colgate and Dartmouth both wind up with 2 points or fewer, then we'd clinch a first week bye.

Not to jinx it or anything.

Man I have too much time on my hands.

Correct if you mean we have secured a home playoff series.  Obviously we could still play a road QF series. Our magic number for clinching a 1R bye is 3.

And that's the one that really matters.

Y and H put 53 and 51 shots on goal tonight.  Neither scored.

During the game.

Princeton winds up winning the game in a battle of two of the conference's bottom feeders. However, that last first-round home seed is very much up for grabs. The current 8th place team is Brown since they have the tiebreaker over Princeton, but each team still has a game against each other in Providence. Only 3 points separate 8th from 11th right now.

I decided to scout some of our potential playoff opponents by going to last night's game. Quinnipiac looked horrible, especially on defense, giving up 20 SOG in the first period. Princeton was 3-for-3 on the power-play. Princeton's first line is excellent, but the rest of the team is nothing special. Even so, I'd rather play Princeton then Q if it came to that in the postseason. In any case, Pecknold was not happy after the game. The rink was half full, and the student section mostly empty except for the pep band. I overheard one fan commenting on the way out, "The hockey games aren't like they used to be."

For whatever reason we've had trouble scoring on Q this year -- 3 goals in 2 games.  Of course we've only given up 2 ourselves in those games and won both.  But I do think we match up better against Princeton, especially at Lynah where we'd have the last change and can put out the best personnel to neutralize Princeton's strong top line.

That would be a neat trick!

The scores were 2-1 and 1-0, so while we did score only three goals, Quinnipiac only scored one.
