Princeton & Quinnipiac are playing tonight at 7:00 PM (1/18). Should be on ESPN+. Let's hope they go to quadruple OT.

Q has 35 shots and a 6-0 lead.

After 2.

Now 7-0, with 7 different goal scorers.

They're gonna be exhausted...

I don't know if the bottom rung of the ECAC has ever been weaker.

Quinnipiac has outscored the opposition 38-2 in its last eight games, six of which were against ECAC teams and two against LIU.

Watched about ten minutes second half of first period.  Princeton never was able to set up in the offensive zone.  Was like watching late 60s Cornell teams.  Q outshot Nodak 36-19 in Q's only loss.

But they didn't play Cornell in that streak!!!  Things will change for them on Saturday!

So much for Newton's third law. Quinnipac drops 1 place in both polls to #1, but there's no equal and opposite reaction for Cornell, flat at 8th in USCHO, down one to 9th in USA Today/Coaches poll

the way things are playing out we would end up #1 and not make the ncaa cause our PWR is so bad. If harv or clark stumble we dont play a team in the top 25 until we play Quin again.

[billhoward]

PWR guys are already playing what-if. We're the three-seed, going to Allentown.

The more interesting matchup [than 1-overall Minnesota State vs. AIC] is Minnesota Duluth and Cornell. It can be argued that no team was hurt more by the 2019-20 COVID-19 shutdown than Cornell.

Q would go to Worcester. That's it for the ECAC.

The other sites are Albany and Loveland, Colorado. I think the NCAA knows Cornell no matter what the seed has to be within driving distance of Ithaca to help the gate. Allentown is 3-1/2 hours from Ithaca, 2 hours from Manhattan.

oh if only things open up by then and we make it that far..

If we don't make it that far, the lone ECAC rep would be Quinni-PEE-yack, as we heard on the Saturday broadcast. Clarkson could be Golden Knights and Q could be Golden Showers. Unless that's the secret name of a Harvard Finals Club.

Harvard and Clarkson aren't in the top 20. Currently.

Honestly I don't care; never have.  Maybe because I was an 80s fan, for me the ECAC is always what matters.  The NC$$ is dessert and if we advance, great, if not, whatevs.

Win in Placid.  Every year.  That is the goal.  The rest takes cares of itself.

Which has been rebranded to a 200x85 rink. If only Douglas Murray had that.
