Dartmouth losing 2-0 to Brown. If that holds, we win the Ivy, despite the colossal disappointment of a season.

Something, at least!

2-2 now. This team doesn't deserve a banner anyway.

I have long given up on Cornell going anywhere this year. But I still had things to root for tonight: if Brown held on to a 2-0 lead over Dartmouth, Cornell would win the Ivy. And if Clarkson held on to a 2-0 lead over Quinnipiac, it would kill Quinnipiac's at-large chances and ensure the ECAC is a one-bid league this year. Guess how that turned out?

Lmaooooo

In OT Clarkson commits obviously penalty (you could call high sticking, you could call interference, you could call just about anything), Q player goes down, refs totally miss it, Clarkson ends up with a clear breakaway and scores the OT winner. Now they're reviewing, but they can only undo the goal by calling a major, which it obviously wasn't. So the goal stands even though it was 100% caused by a penalty.

I wasn't watching with sound on so I don't know if the announcers had any further analysis.

It's darkly hilarious that Cornell hired away Clarkson's coach and then Clarkson vastly improved. But Q losing on a horrible blown call is even funnier.

Or they just added a good goalie in the portal (who Casey recruited btw) and their best player already has 11 more goals than his total last year. I do think that Houle is probably a better coach than Jones but he's not the whole reason that they are better.

The team that earns the banner "deserves" it. The word has no other meaning.

I really look forward to the both of you eating this line of BS.

Or just leaving.

Winning with Casey will have just a little extra appeal after this, it's true.

As with every petulant, premature "X is not the answer."

I learned not to jump to conclusions back in my junior year, through prejudging Jason Elliot as "not the answer" after a bad road tie at Union.

[BearLover]

Just to be clear: Casey recruited the team that is currently winning at Clarkson. Casey is likely a good coach. I predict Cornell will have more success than Clarkson over the next five years.

But: Clarkson's new coach was a successful AHL coach considered to have been on the path to a potential NHL head coaching job. Casey had little success the past two seasons with many of the same players. He moved over to Cornell, which has struggled mightily this season. And Clarkson seems to be recruiting very well from the CHL.

So even if Cornell's trajectory looks more positive than Clarkson's, the gap looks much smaller than it did a year ago.

I think mine was the first(?) women's weekend this year where Bergmann let in a muffin from the blue line and I was like "okay so she's not that good, right?" (Not knowing that she was rookie of the year last year for a reason...)

LOL.

I never appreciated Gary Cullen when I was an undergrad.  What I would do now for such a point machine.

[In unison] No, it's their system.

Princeton up on Clarkson 3-1.

Tonight Quinnipiac won its 5th clearly cup in a row. Since 2013 they have a national championship and 2 ncaa finals appearances, and they have come in first place in the ECAC 9/13 years. They've clearly surpassed Cornell at this point. People on here can cope about them having no academic standards, and that's true, but the same is true for almost every D-1 hockey school and many of the schools in the ECAC. Let's all hope for a major regression by Quinnipiac and the rest of the ECAC in the next five years. Thank you!
