Opponents and Others, 2021-22

[Trotsky]

I'm going to watch the Harvard-Q game tonight on ESPN+ and root for Giant Meteor, if anybody wants to join me.

I guess we want a Harvard win?

[Trotsky]

Q winning.  Harvard looks like shit.

[Jim Hyla]

Q winning.  Harvard looks like shit.

Agree.

The most interesting comment that I heard from the announcers was at the end of the game.

With about a minute to play, Harvard took a penalty. Q was up 3-0 so the Q announcers said something to the effect "Up 3-0 with a minute to go. We might see the second PP unit come out for this one. Oh no. Pecknold sends out the first unit."

Now why would the Q announcers be surprised about that?

In fairness to Rand here, Q hadn't played a game in over a month and now faces three games in four days and five games in eight days. Without much room for practice ahead, it doesn't seem crazy to get his top unit some game minutes under the circumstances even if it is generally poor sportsmanship.

On the one hand, that's reasonable.

On the other hand, fuck Rand Pecknold.

But with all those games you might also want to give your first unit a rest.

As you said you can argue both ways.

I just thought it was funny to hear the announcers jump back like that.

First period, Clarkson 6-0 over U. ::uhoh::

I guess Union couldn't ride the momentum of their comeback win against SLU last night. But Clarkson was well-rested, so they had a major advantage not playing last night.

Each of Union's goalies allowed 3!

[Trotsky]

3-0 and now we are in control.  Just keep playing our game.

There is now a 7 point gap between ECAC 4 and 5.  Seems like we have a pretty good idea of the top 4 in the conference.

Can't remember whether it was here or USCHO, but during the pre-season I chastised a Cornell fan for picking us 5th, saying it would be incredibly disappointing to finish behind anyone not named Q, H, or Ckn.  Turning out to be correct - nice to hit one of these occasionally.

Quin has allowed 2 goals and shut out 6 of the 7 teams in the ECAC. Riding a 4 goal shutout streak.. Wonder what the ECAC record is for that? Dart/Prin/Colg on deck before our game

They have a goal Diff of +21 we have one of +18

I think that may have been me.  Or was that your point?  ::whistle::
