Homestand complete. Next 7 of 8 are on the road. Get 'er done.

The next 6 games are against teams we are clearly better than in the standings.  5 of them are on the road.  2 are the home-and-home against Colgate who circles us the way we circle Harvard.

How many of these 18 points we get will determine whether we have a safe ECAC bye going into the final two RS weekends or whether we are cusp, and perhaps consequently whether we are relatively safe, in liminal space, or in deep trouble for an NC$$ bid.

They aren't sexy but they are all important points.

My birthday is 2/13.  All I want is as many of those 18 points as we are capable of.

Uh oh.  Does anyone know if there's a limit to how many birthday wish wins the hockey gods will grant in one season?  I got my birthday wish with last night's positive result

I think we are okay until wishes start to conflict.

Mine is in April, so... I can't be of much wish help, sadly :')

If you generalize to the whole month, you can wish that the team is still playing in April.

Ties are much less likely now with 3x3 OT

dss28's got the home Colgate game covered with her birthday (and we're certainly planning to stream it in Florida).

Isaac's falls on the regional semis, so let's just keep fingers crossed.

(And FWIW, I delivered the UMass win with mine.)

We have only been to ot once.

Ties are much less likely when you score 4 goals a game rather than 3.

OK. I'm sure this has been asked before. Friday, 19:00, Cornell plays Yale in New Haven. If I arrive in New Haven around 17:00, what's the best place for a pizza?
