I'd trade them back for Q in a heartbeat.

RPI held Maine close until the third and then Bad Things Happened.

Dartmouth ties UNH and Union gets clobbered by Vermont. Poor OOC play continues

At least UND is about to get a big W

That'll at least pacify the folks on their forum. I think they're even more annoyed with Cornell's play than we are because of UND's pairwise position

LMFAO, I didn't know that was possible...

Cornell fans suck but NoDak and Minny fans are in another tax bracket of fan entitlement.  They are monsters.

Dartmouth ties UNH and Union gets clobbered by Vermont. Poor OOC play continues

Dartmouth hit the crossbar twice in the third period, although UNH had the better of play and failed to score on a breakaway in OT. There wasn't a single penalty called in the game.

Union coughs one up to UVM in the final 3 minutes.  Poopie.

RPI ties Merseyhurst - 64th ranked Mercyhurst.

OOC helped a bit last night. North Dakota won again and Northeastern and Wisconsin lost. We are up to 23.

RPI ties Merseyhurst - 64th ranked Mercyhurst.

RPI did beat Mercyhurst handily tonight, though, 5-2.

Yale beat Union tonight and unfortunately that is relevant and helpful for us as Union is ahead in conference  .571 > .458

Union beat Yale, 4-3.
There was an unusual play late in the third period with the score tied. With the teams playing 4-on-4, a Yale player broke his stick in the defensive zone, but couldn't get off the ice since the puck was still in the defensive zone. A few seconds later a Union player was skating backwards away from the goal and the stickless Yale player used both arms to push him from behind, knocking him to the ice. He was called for a 2-minute penalty for hitting from behind. That negated what would have been an upcoming power play for Yale. Instead, still skating 4-on-4, Union scored the winning goal 35 seconds later, giving it a road sweep in southern New England (Union beat Brown Friday night).

Yeah, sorry, CHN (I think) done me wrong.  :-(

There have been 3 full seasons with Derp Points.  Here are the 4th place teams' DP in each:

'22 39 Cornell (12-6-4)
'23 37 St. Lawrence (12-10-0)
'24 37 Dartmouth (9-6-7)

Cornell is currently 21 DP (5-5-4) with 8 games to play.  That is 24 possible points.  Let's assume 16 is the Mendoza line for getting to 4th.  To simplify, that's 5 regulation wins and another point, say a shoot out loss to make the record simple.  5-2-1.

We face 5 awful teams: RPI, @ Brn, @Yal, SLU, @ RPI.  I think we need to go at least 4-1-0 in those 5 (12 DP),leaving us a slight margin of error with our 3 games against good teams: Uni, Clk, @ Uni against whom we could afford to go 1-1-1.

We have played 5 awful teams already this year: Yal (1), Brn (3), Prn (3), @ Prn (3), @SLU (0).  3-1-1, 10 DP.  So... not looking great.

Of course if we get stronger as we go with everyone returning if won't matter, since by the time we hit the post-season we'll run a quick 9 and skate it off.
