It's not on CHN but the postponed Mayor's cup is taking place tonight in Albany at the TU Center.  The women Engineers are up 2-0 at the second intermission vs. Union.

Men's game will go off at 6. This is the 7th iteration of this tournament the successor to the Governor's Cup.  It's likely 2 or 3 of mayors of Troy,  Albany and Schenectady will be in the house.

To my knowledge the Governor never showed at the tourney named in his honor.

2014 version ended like this.

The men's game 10 days ago was going to be at 6:00. Today it is at 7:00.

if you want him to come, tell him deblasio hates it.

That'll get the Post to cover it, too.

Given our weekend opponents, let's do that again.

0-0 after OT with a shoot out coming up.  The OT was almost all RPI's. SOG was 43-20 in Union's favor. Two mediocre teams.  RPI's freshman goalie is coming along.

#26 won the shootout 3-2 in 6 rounds.
As you wrote, RPI was the better team in the OT. It also was the better team in the 2nd period. Union was the better team in the 1st and 3rd periods. That seems to indicate that the rink was tilted to one end.

Considering how RPI has played the last few years, mediocre is a distinct improvement. :-)

And RPI's women won 2-1 over a surprisingly strong Union team in the earlier game. Lovisa Selander's 29 saves puts her just 148 behind the NCAA career mark in saves with eight regular season games remaining.

Harvard has jumped significantly up in the PWR. They now sit at #11.

Anyone know if the the Beanpot is available to watch online (for free)?

[TimV]

It's on Nesn and Nesn go.  If you have Comcast/Xfinity you can sign in at The NESNGO site.  But no free stream that I can find.  

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is working on Free Hockey For All, though I think Bernie Sanders would have a better shot at it.

[Trotsky]

Please do not post politics here.  I do not want to know for a fact how much stupider you all are than I already think.

opening round of the BeanPot tonight

Harvard playing BC at 5pm
Northeastern playing BU at 8pm

Games are on NESN if you are in the New England region

Harvard should feel very comfortable.  Stands close to empty, just like a game at Lynah East.  And they give up the first goal BC 1-0.

And of course BC, losers of something like 25 straight nonconference games, beats Harvard in the beanpot.

[jkahn]

Harvard's loss today knocks down Cornell's adjusted RPI from .5581 to .5549.  With Harvard being a 3 time opponent, and also a two time opponent of many of our opponents, they impact our RPI more than our other opponents.  Also, their dropping in PWR affects our Quality Win Bonus points.

Bastards!

You can count on Harvard to ruin everything that is good. BC even lost to Bentley during that streak. They hadn't won a non-conference game since 2016.

Christ. Harvard sucks.
