In a game I am sure very few of you care about, Dartmouth loses to Princeton and Cornell stays in the Ivy title race.

GOOD. Fuck em. Are they also running frankenlines like we are?

It adds perspective that, down their suspensions, Dartmouth was swept, at home.

2 point weekend.  I'll take it.

Back when all wins were 2 points and Houle was a player, 2 points in the North Country was a reason for celebration.

2 point weekend.  I'll take it.

Not a good result for getting the bye particularly because Clarkson also got a point.

Bud, at this point I think we're all kinda in the understanding that we're probably not getting a bye and it is what it is. If we do, swell, but it's not terribly likely.

The bye is the only material thing we're playing for at this point in the regular season (I guess other than the Ivy title). So that's the focus. It's also not a terribly unrealistic goal given the teams ahead of us have tough remaining schedules. We basically need to pass two of Clarkson, Dartmouth, Union, Colgate.

I guess we're never getting Devlin and Wallace back?

Schafer has been bearish on them returning since their injuries.  I think it is probably best to assume they are gone for the season.  Even if they are ready for the playoffs they will have missed an entire year of training and development.  Even if fit they won't be the best options.

Injuries suck.

For awhile Schafer had been saying the hope or maybe even expectation was that everyone would be back in January.

I don't believe so.  The assumptions for some players did slide, from before Christmas to after Christmas to early February.  But I swear he has always thrown cold water on Devlin.  Wallace I can't say, but I don't remember any encouraging noises.

In a game I am sure very few of you care about, Dartmouth loses to Princeton and Cornell stays in the Ivy title race.

It looks like Dartmouth is 5-2 in Ivy play with games remaining against H,Y,B. Cornell is 4-2-2 with games against Y,B. We basically need H to beat Dartmouth and then we and Dartmouth would be virtually tied.

I wouldn't say that. (I am an optimist.)

The teams tied for third ahead of us are ahead of us by five points. We have eight games left to play...24 possible points. One of those two teams is Union, and we play them twice. The other team tied for third is Dartmouth, and they've played one more game than we have.

I say it's at least 50-50 (remember...optimist here) that we earn the bye.

It's under 50-50, particularly given how badly we've played, but the odds aren't horrible. Union and Clarkson have difficult remaining schedules and Dartmouth has played an extra game. Most of the teams ahead of us have to play each other (and us) several times.

o fer the weekend on the PP and the breakaways.  the difference between 6 and 2 pts

"Cornell thinks they won it." Clarkson announcer guy really paying attention.

Um, maybe he's been been blinded by the light of his color guy's jacket.

This pattern harks back to the tartan slacks (more red black brown than green, tho) worn with leather jackets by NHL players in the '70s and in Slapshot.

Mom is no longer helping  him dress. I hope to God this is not a Clarkson reunion year blazer. It would be okay as the lining.

Cornell PP (10.9%) is third worst in the country.

HAH. Again. Fuck em, I say
