Quote from: RichHBruno get their first win at Cheel, scoring with under 1 second on the clock. Clarkson took icing with under 10 seconds to set it up. Worth a watch for the schadenfreude.

First win ever at Cheel? That's nuts considering how long and often they've played each other since Cheel opened. Then again, Yale can never seem to win games against Q, so such occurrences are not out of the realm of possibility in the conference I guess
Brown won their prior game at Cheel as well, in January.

Quite a number of OOC games this weekend against some higher ranked teams. It would be nice if the conference came out of it in a good spot although I'm not holding my breath after Colgate failed to do anything at Penn State earlier in the week

Doesn't bode well that we put up 16 SOG at home and lost to Quinnipiac, then Colgate held Quinnipiac to 14 SOG in regulation the following night, then Colgate got very badly outshot and lost to PSU by a combined score of 10-3 over two games that PSU entered as 48th in the PWR.

Harvard down 3-0 in Belfast and the 1st period isn't even over. Typical

Meanwhile, I just checked the stats and Dartmouth has by far the highest team shooting % in the country, at 17.0%. That suggests they've been very lucky so far this season. Watching the Cornell game, I definitely believe this to be true. They didn't look particularly good, and it took multiple horrible lapses by Cornell for Dartmouth to win. Despite early returns we could be headed for another rough year for the ECAC. Not liking our position in the PWR right now. We need to start winning at a very high clip.

Against all expectations, they have put down their gin fizzes and ceased interfering with their maids long enough to fight back to 3-2.

Oligarchs with grit? How very European.

Teddy decided to pull his starter Koskenvuo after the first and that seems to have made a difference. He might keep going with this backup for a while considering that Koskenvuo hasn't looked good for several weekends now anyway

SLU goes down a man after challenging with no timeouts. It always feels like this league is disgustingly incompetent in non conference games.

Harvard loses 5-2, but Dartmouth leads at BC after the first period.

Per the DKs, we've got a bigger problem now.

Princeton up 2-0 on Ohio State after two periods.

Iceberg

Dartmouth up 2-1 after 2 periods. This is my first time really seeing BC this year and they have some very big, talented forwards and a very effective forecheck. Defensively, their back-end personnel are nothing special and the two goals against are a result of turnovers that led to successful counterattacks although Fowler seems to be the real deal. Dartmouth has actually played well enough to slow down BC (very good coaching) but they're a noticeably slower team, have failed to make some uncontested passes, and have a made few baffling decisions in their own zone that resulted in BC opportunities.

BC destroyed Dartmouth in the 3d. Took a 3-2 lead, then Dartmouth got a late power play and turned the punk over a son as they pulled their goalie to go down 4-2..
 but scored am EAG as I was typing to close the gap to 4-3 with 1:19 to go.

Damn near tied it up but BC got another ENG to seal it

Iceberg

Yeah, that was a tight game and good on Dartmouth for keeping it close. BC is a very good team but I'm not so sure they're good enough to be #1 overall. That has to be because of the strength of HEA this year

The third period was the first time Dartmouth talked all year.
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."
