Clarkson post-game thread.

[dadeo]

8 more wins (need 2 for Qfs), 2 for ECACs, 4 for NCAAs

[dadeo]

It seems that the Cornell and Colgate guys remember each other from last year
(Nickerson = goon) if i remember correctly

[Avash]

Not only did McKee tie Dryden's 13 shutout record, but he set the all-time Cornell record for shutouts in a regular season, with 8.

(LeNeveu had 7 two seasons ago...hmm...including a 3-0 shutout on the road in the final regular season game).

brown falls out of TUC status right now -> cornell dropping. plenty of games pending but we shall see
plenty of games to play in the playoffs too - things could change drastically.

[Avash]

Also:

Iggulden's goal, the game-winner, was his 5th GWG of the season, which is the second most in the nation.

Updated McKee stats: 1.27 GAA, .943 SV%

For the first time all season (I believe), Cornell finishes the weekend with both the #1 PP and #1 PK in the country.

The 2003 Frozen Four team also had 4 losses at this point in the season.

For the first time in 11 ECAC weekends this season, Cornell scores neither a power play goal nor a second period goal.

I don't think it will hurt their RPI. Yeah, it would hurt ours, but Brown's RPI isn't nearly ours (if it was, we wouldn't be worrying about it). The win would help their RPI significantly, so if they can win in 2 next weekend, they're in good shape TUC-wise.

If brown wins the RPI can only go up in the playoffs, never down so we just have to hope that Brown gets back as TUC by the end of there run in the ECAC tourney

[DeltaOne81]

There are two games coming through tonight involving teams Brown has played - Providence and UMD (and American Int'l just came through).

Prov and UMD won, and AIC tied. When the AIC result came in, Brown's RPI went up .0001 to .4997.

When those other two come through we'll see if its enough to keep them a TUC for the week.

[DeltaOne81]

The UMD win comes in and Brown jumps to .5005! One more to go!

Actually that seems to include both of them. So Brown's at .5005 - hopefully it won't swing much more (at least not downwards) tonight.

[TCHL8842]

Delta I just looked at all the comparisons, and we should win the TUC from DU and CC but since they have the higher RPI, we will still lose the comparisons.  BC RPI is higher than ours which flipped the BC comparison with us, and we can't match Minnesota record vs. TUCS unles UAA becomes a TUC tonight, which will flip that comparison.  So I am expecting little to known movement tonight as the other games come in and we still stay in 5th in the  PWR rankings.
This is all with bonuses of 3-2-1

Editting one more time to point out UAA RPI is currently .4999. with the bonuses.

[DeltaOne81]

Yup, all depends on UAA tonight. Otherwise things will likely stand still.

Brown can't drop in RPI as a result of playoff wins, but they could drop as a result of other results, of course.

[Steve M]

RPI was 1-0-1 vs. Brown this year and they pulled off a 1st round upset 2 years ago.

Congrats to McKee on his shutout records.  Cornell finishes the ECAC RS with an 18-2-2 record for 38 conference points.  That's only one less than the awesome 2003 Frozen Four team amassed against a somewhat weaker league.  This year's squad should be very proud.  Now on to greater heights in the post season!
