Yes, but RPI and Cornell fans can also enjoy Union losing on Saturday and Sunday.::banana::

Not just losing.  Losing 5-0 and 7-3.

Trotsky, twice in one week?  ::bugeye::
The Army score was Army 3, Union 2 (after Union going up 2-1 on a SHG).

My mistake.  Friday was the chicks.

[billhoward]

I like that Clarkson did not play and moved 12 to 11 while Q did not play and moved 11 to 13.

It was exam week in Hamden.

USA polls aren't out yet. At least not on USCHO yet.

We've moved up to 4 in USA Hockey.  No first place votes.  Yet.

Edit: That was last week as I continue my freefall into senility.

ECAC teams seem to struggle in early games against power conference opponents.  For Ivies this makes sense -- Ivy game n is often non-Ivy opponent's game n + 4.  Those differences are most pronounced early.  It doesn't explain non-Ivy ECAC members' struggles.

Isn't the differential 7? Ivy limit 29, ECAC limit 32, others limit 36? Or am I remembering wrong? Denver's already 4 games in.

[upprdeck]

if we can hold off not playing for another 2-3 weeks we could probably get to first place

[Swampy]

if we can hold off not playing for another 2-3 weeks we could probably get to first place

If we can play nothing until April, we could wind up #1 and win the NC!

IINM the differential now is 5 (29/32/34*) but not all of that is expended by early games.  Factory schools also work in an extra weekend during the season, probably with a shorter winter break.

* The games in Alaska may still not count towards the limit in which case those conferences' limit is effectively 36.

USA Polls list CU Men and Women at #5. Hopefully the results will make the USCHO page soon.

The ECAC does not have a 32-game limit. I vaguely recall that there was such a limit at one time, but the non-Ivy ECAC schools can and do play 34 games. I am pretty sure that the Alaska exemption still exists.

I thought that the mandatory break was an NCAA rule, but that could be the ECAC.

[Trotsky]

Tied to Xmas/New Years or each school's exam schedule?  For example, Dartmouth had (has?) trimesters so their exam schedule was (is?) all sorts of fucked up.

If we can play nothing until April, we could wind up #1 and win the NC!

2nd undefeated season!

[marty]

I like that Clarkson did not play and moved 12 to 11 while Q did not play and moved 11 to 13.

Q tied Brock U. on Sunday in the last minute of the third with an extra attacker.  (After RPI dominated Brock on Saturday.)

Well, that sucks, because it's a perfectly reasonable explanation.  :-(

But RPI didn't make the list. ;-)

Yes, but RPI and Cornell fans can also enjoy Union losing on Saturday and Sunday.::banana::

Union is now perfect on the year.  The Union football team is 6-0 and the Union hockey team is 0-6.

Dioes that average out to 0.500?
