Quote from: TrotskyOne thing about this weekend.  If they do take care of business they will go a long way towards locking up a first round bye.

Out of twelve ECAC teams, four have winning conference records.

Yes, and if we can sink them both I think we will have cut the ropes between the top 4 and bottom 8.

is 2 goals enough.. that seems to be the max with this team right now.

Not quite. Cornell is currently 5 points up on RPI and Union, so if they win both in regulation while both also to lose to Colgate, Cornell will be 11 points up with 4 games to play by each of the three. In addition Princeton is 6 points behind but has 2 games in hand.

I meant spiritually, not statistically.

Right now no lead is safe because we haven't proved we can win at all.  At least if the team gets a couple of wins this weekend projections of minimal competence over the final 6 games will make some sense.  At the moment, "if these trends continue" would project us going about 0-4-4 down the stretch (and losing all of the shootouts, naturally).

Andreev might be back.

all it takes is one of the post shots to go in.  a couple of the open nets to not be missed and a few rebound goals the other teams have gotten to bounce over a stick..  you play enough close games its gonna go the wrong way a few times for you.

Must have been interesting at Union. At 18:30 in the third it's 4-3 Union and Colgate pulls their goalie. From then till 19:41 Colgate scores an EAG, even strength and then an EN, to win 6-4.

It was fun to watch on ESPN+. The assistant coach was in shock in the post game interview. Worth a replay. (And Mandeville scored again in this game.)
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."

upprdeck

actually a good result kinda if colgate were to win tomorrow and cornell finally gets over the hump we would be right back in good solid 4th again..  

at some point that 3rd goal will go in again.

Looks like, in beating Quinnipiac, Clarkson did what we haven't been able to do for some time—pop a two-goal lead and then play defense, defense, defense.
