Dartmouth, Union, and Yale in action tonight.

FFS, the morons at Northeastern are knocking down Matthews.

Isn't it bc Matthews is on the verge of collapse?

Yeah, pretty sure it's so structurally unsound that it's not salvageable.

(BU friend noted that their student group would wear hard hats and reflective construction vests to Matthews because of this risk, LOL.)

Then rebuild it stone by stone.  cf. Penn Station.

Dartmouth now 11-0 after beating Army at home. With Yale getting their butts kicked at Merrimack and Union all over Alaska, it looks like 2-1 in OOC play will be the reality today. Still a few games tomorrow and on Sunday

Presumably BU's improved results are helping us too. If the system counted a two-three year cycle we'd be in great shape! UND is doing great. Check. Michigan state? Check. Denver? Check.

BU not only won, they beat Northeastern, which helped BU's NPI and therefore ours.

Today's game was the last in Matthews Arena. They had a nice ceremony after the game the end that was part of the ESPN+ broadcast. A lot of history happened in that building.

Dartmouth and UNH beaded to overtime in a very intense game. Dartmouth tied late with the goalie pulled but has a PK to start the OT

HAPPY DARTMOUTH LOST DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE.

The game winning goal was on a play where Wildcat Fitzgerald lost an edge and the puck, then fell behind the play. But his teammate fought off two Dartmouth players to get it back to the Fitzgerald, who slipped it under Croteau's right pad.

UNH works hard all game long, every game. They deserved this. But the key takeaway for an ECAC fan is that Dartmouth never led, and that was not a comfortable position for them. This was the first game all season where they went into the locker room between periods behind. For a while to generate more offense, they tried a lot of long passes that became icings. They also really like to crash the net, because it works for them.

When they come to Lynah, Cornell needs to come out hard and get the early lead, then keep the low slot cleared of bodies. Dartmouth is a team that can be put away. They just haven't faced a team that could do it until now. I do believe a more seasoned Cornell team will be up to the task.

Damn good analysis.  Thank you.

Dartmouth looked soft in the game and they didn't look great offensively until the 3rd. Regardless, with the loss being in OT, they only dropped one spot in NPI and so did Cornell
