It appears those Misconducts were not DQs.

Well, they were clearly double minors for roughing and not majors for fighting, right? Clearly just roughing. Boys will be boys!

Brown just beat Harvard 2-0.

I can't get over the Pairwise rankings of the ECAC teams. Are we really as bad as Atlantic Hockey? Worse? When was the last time the ECAC looked like a potential one bid conference. Could it just be a function of a relatively small sample size of OOC games?

*yes I know a bunch of the teams didn't play last year and are worse off because of it.

Look no farther than here.

The killer is the ECAC flubbing it against AH and CCHA given that we are NOT as bad they.

ECAC 23-19-6 NC not including AH and CCHA.
CCHA 14-22-1 NC not including ECAC and AH.
AH 9-33-1 NC not including ECAC and CCHA.

So the ECAC should clean up against those two.  Actuals:

CCHA 6-2-2 against ECAC and AH.
AH 8-7-1 against ECAC and CCHA.
ECAC 7-12-3 against AH and CCHA.

Pfft.

Good analysis. Very unfortunate.

My initial reaction to that would be "wait, if we have a >.500 NC record overall but <.500 AH/CCHA record, then we have a >.500 NCHC/B1G/HE record".  And that would be a very good thing, to have a positive record against the good conferences.  But the vast majority of our other NC wins come against independents, which is a nice way to say ASU/UAF, with disappointing records against the big 3.  So the better way to say it overall would be, we've done great as a conference against ASU/UAF and meh to bleh against everyone else.

And both of our wins against Alaska were in OT so we don't even get full credit.

[Trotsky]

You may remember Clarkson from such games as... never mind.

Last night they lost at Arizona State.  Tonight they are losing again.

Quinny was blowing out LIU 5-0 after 2 and I stopped paying attention. Game is over now. Should probably check before hitting send.

5-0 tonight, 4-1 last night.

RPI beat Alaska last night and will play later.

Union managed to go 0-1-1 against previously 1-11-3, 57th PWR Maine.

So, not such a great weekend.  Again.

Princeton also got swept by Providence but no shame in that, the Friars are good.

ECAC representin' in the bottom 20 in PWR:

41 Colgate
42 SLU
46 Union
48 Princeton
53 Brown
55 Dartmouth
59 Yale

Wheeeeeeee...

[ursusminor]

And on Saturday RPI lost to previously 1-12 Alaska whose only other win was vs. Clarkson. After a couple of days of sightseeing, the 'Tute will have two more chances to play on an Olympic ice sheet prior to the ECAC Final 4 which they have not been at since it left Lake Placid for Atlantic City.

FWIW, RPI was originally supposed to play two games in Fairbanks and two in Anchorage. When UAA cancelled this season, they decided to play all of them in Fairbanks. Fairbanks probably had a lot of games scheduled vs. UAA which needed to be replaced.

As noted previously, the bottom 5 teams on this list all didn't play last season. It's obviously taken its toll. Also of note -- Quinnipiac goalie only had to make 9 saves to record shutout against LIU, which was outshot 36-9. LIU had 11 SOG in its 4-1 loss to Q on Friday night, giving it a total of 20 SOG for the weekend.

Herb Brooks has been reconfigured and the ECACs will now be played on 200x80.

so other than the ECAC games what else is held there in a normal year?

Tons of youth tournaments.
