What's our tiebreaker with Yale?  Have we clinched top 4?

What's our tiebreaker with Yale?  Have we clinched top 4?

We're split on head to head, so it goes to wins. If they tie us in points, it means they've passed us in wins, so we'd lose that. We need a point to clinch top 4. Or a Yale tie/loss.

Put a bit more succinctly: Unless we get swept and Yale sweeps, we've got a bye.

its possible to clinch first on fri or fall to 5th on sat.. crazy year

IIRC there was a season a while ago where somebody still had the range [2 .. 10] or thereabouts going into the final weekend.

Not typical to have such a cluster at the top.  We saw to that unfortunately by giving away 5-6 points.  By all rights we had the RS #1 wrapped up in January -- we just done fucked up.

I think you under appreciate the impact of injuries on this year's team.

Clearly had we been better people those would not have happened.

[upprdeck]

i thought the stat last night that losing friday was the first time in 5 yrs we have gone winless 3 games in a row was pretty telling on how consistent this team has been.  

even if the last we somehow turned at 3-1 to at worst 1-1-2 into reality of 1-2-1

wno reason to be so flat sat after sat other than just worn out..  really wonder if 2 weeks off really will help this.

getting Andreev back will be big too if just another body and his legs will probably be fresh. Donaldson looked the freshest of team last night

When I saw Donaldson at Q, before he got hurt, he also looked the freshest of the team.

Do we know if he was okay at the end of last night's game? He went down, stayed down, came off slowly, and got called for embellishment.

Absolutely disgraceful call

I think he was back on the ice shortly thereafter but I could be misremembering.

The only way that call isn't entirely terrible is if Donaldson was 100% fine, realized he got caught making an injury, and just committed to it the entire time he was trying to get off the ice. I highly doubt this was the case.

I don't know if it's college hockey as a whole or just the ECAC, but these matching infraction and embellishment calls are way too common, and I don't see them in the pros.

Frankly, I don't think you should be able to get embellishment if someone's committed a penalty in contacting you. Save it for true dives and faked injuries.
