I don't think the ECAC Is ever quite as bad as it seems, it's just that the lower tier of the conference are always trying to punch up in out of conference games instead of playing teams at their level.

I can only comment on RPI. We certainly seem to be doing that this year, but last year we mainly played AHA teams.

Surprisingly OT in Troy.  3-3 @ end of regulation.

RPI wins!

Cornell holding at 21 PWR.

Since I didn't feel like driving up to Lake Placid tonight from New Haven, I went to watch Yale play BU instead. Cornell is the only team which has beaten both of them this season. I assume for PWR, it was better for us for BU to win, which they did 6-1. The scary thing was BU was missing three of its stars, all of whom were playing for their respective countries in the U18s. Even so, the talent/skill level of the BU players is absurd. BU scored twice in the first six minutes and it looked like a blowout, but Yale scored later in the period and was outplaying BU to start the second period. But then a Yale player got a 5-minute major and even though BU only scored once on the ensuing PP, that turned the momentum around and BU coasted the rest of the night, although the game did get fairly chippy. It was nice to see a full house at the Yale Whale, including a large contingent of BU fans.

It was better for us for Yale to win, because we play them twice and BU only once. In addition, I believe that Yale winning also improves the RPI of the other ECAC teams, which thereby improves our own RPI? Not a big deal either way who won, though.

Anyone watching Princeton's beating the hell out of Harvard?  Harvard has one win!  How in gods name did we lose to them?  Donato is a terrible coach.

[Trotsky]

Harvard must have thought it was a tournament. Up 2-0, outshooting Princeton 15-7, and then... 5 unanswered goals.

Clarkson beat UMass in overtime; I don't know if that will delay our start.

I saw the highlights and Harvard's defense looked like a comedy show before some of those Princeton goals. Two of the defenders literally ran into each other in one instance!

Guess will not need my planned "Hey Gay, Copy This: Harvard Sux Go Red!" sign for Lynah East in a few weeks anymore...
