Quinnipiac QF

[Trotsky]

It was not a playoff game but I remember a game in the early 80's against Yale where a Bertrand team was up 9-0 in the first period.  Bertrand pulled the goalie on a faceoff in the Yale end.  He said he wanted to "practice" playing 6 on 5....

Dick Bertrand before he dicks you.

Note Yale's first period goalie.

Soooo...unless HAR comes back, Cornell is the only higher seed in the ECAC to win tonight. Wow.

Harvard didn't come back.  Current playoff leaders:

7 Princeton
1 Cornell

6 Colgate
5 Dartmouth

Other than our game, that has to be a nightmare for the folks in Lake Placid.

In all honesty Dartmouth would outdraw Harvard.

I've wondered about this (and I'm sure it's been discussed on eLynah).  The ideal Lake Placid attendance line up is Cornell, St. Lawrence, Clarkson, and...?  With St. Lawrence eliminated, it can't happen this year.  (dear hockey gods...this is not woofing...just wondering.)

The ideal for attendance?  Cornell, Clarkson, RPI, Union.

The metaphysical ideal is IMHO Cornell, Clarkson, Harvard, St. Lawrence.  If I was picking the Mount Rushmore of the conference that is who I would choose.  It happened once in 1991.

In case you're wondering.

Nein.

The metaphysical ideal is Cornell, Clarkson, Harvard, and either SLU or RPI. The last classic year was 2002.

I see SLU as romantic because of Appleton.

Prior to 1985, the ideal was, of course, Cornell, Clarkson, Harvard, and BU. I think that three year sequence from '69–'71 is a record (three years, same teams) that will never be broken.

Appleton is indeed beautiful, but part of me really loves Houston for how ungainly it is. And Troy has great places to drink now; Canton only has food poisoning in store.

I don't want it to happen at our expense, but I dearly hope the teams in both barns get their houses in order.

I just remember that Brock Tredway '82 and John Olds '81 were on the team at the time which is why I guessed "early 80's."

I arrived at Cornell in the fall of 1968, left for a couple of years to go to grad school and have been back in Ithaca since 1976. So I have been watching Cornell hockey games for 50 years.  I am just thankful that I can remember any of the details!

93-94 is the only time it's happened for 2, let alone 3, seasons.  Add that in 69-71 it was a 17-team conference.

Never is a long time, but it's certainly not probable for a long time to come.

I love RPI's fans and I have had many great experiences in Troy.  And I know exactly what you mean about Houston and it's my 4th favorite ECAC building (Lynah, Appleton, Baker) since the night they drove old Walker down.
