Out of curiosity, which AI assistant did you use?

Better Johnny than Ed McMahon.

USCHO: This Week in ECAC Hockey: Cornell emphasizing to 'stay in the moment' with end to 2024-25 regular season, Schafer's tenure fast approaching

Clarkson clinched home ice tonight.

Union's remaining games are Dartmouth, Cornell and Colgate. They will largely determine who gets the remaining two home ice slots.

Dartmouth out shot RPI 20-2 in last night's 3rd period.  There was one goal the GWG for RPI.  Dartmouth pulled their goalie with over 3 minutes left.

Colgate's GWG over St. Lawrence came with less than a second on the clock in the 3rd.

Let's go to the video.  And yes that's former Colgate player and RPI coach Dan "The Fridge" Fridgen doing the color.

33 Drt

Our simplest path to a bye:

(1) We get 6.
(2) Dartmouth does not get 6.
(3) Colgate beats Union.


If Union beats Colgate we need RPI to also beat Colgate.

In his post-game interview, Mike noted that Johnny Castagna skated this week and will be back next weekend.

In his post-game interview, Mike noted that Johnny Castagna skated this week and will be back next weekend.

He followed that up by saying it will be the first time we have a full lineup all year. Does this mean that guys like Devlin and wolfenburg are healthy and just aren't getting played?

[upprdeck]

Full lineup could also be the kids they knew could come back this year

Dartmouth is on the road this weekend against Yale and Brown. My understanding is that if Dartmouth gets 4+ points, they win the Ivy outright. If they get 3 points, Cornell and Dartmouth tie for the Ivy. If they get 2 or fewer points, Cornell wins the Ivy outright.

[Iceberg]

Dartmouth should win both games but I wouldn't put it past them to drop one if their defense fails to show up

[Give My Regards]

This is correct.  Cornell is at 21 points and done with the Ivy schedule, while Dartmouth is at 18 with the two games remaining, and no other Ivy team is in the running.

I'd be perfectly happy with two Cornell wins, an RPI over Colgate win or a Colgate over Union win, and Dartmouth getting four or five points and the Ivy title. Obviously I'd be happier with the above and Dartmouth dropping a game, but a first round bye and not winning the Ivy title would be just fine with me.

Dartmouth is not a very good team. They're 30th in the PWR. Brown is 40th and at home. Seems like Dartmouth is an underdog to get 4+ points this weekend.

No ties in derp points so we know the 2025 RS standings:
