USCHO ECAC 1st round picks: Dartmouth, RPI, SLU, Clarkson

[billhoward]

http://www.uscho.com/m/ec/?data=preview Only Dartmouth picked for a sweep, and one mild-upset prediction, the same one many of us believe will happen, Clarkson over Union. If so, the How to Be a Good Fan thread should hit 4,000 hits easily. From Juan Martinez' weekly column:

No. 12 Yale at No. 5 Dartmouth
Dartmouth 2-0

No. 11 Rensselaer at No. 6 Brown
RPI 2-1

No. 10 Princeton at No. 7 St. Lawrence
SLU 2-1

No. 9 Clarkson at No. 8 Union
Clarkson 2-1

I don't have time to look it up (actually busy at work today), but my suspicion is that a pretty small percentage of 3 game series actually make it to 3 games.  Picking 3 out of 4 seems pretty generous to the bottom 4 teams.

There probably haven't been enough 5 v 12 playoff series to establish a good trend, but it's defintely going to be less than 75% over time.

[/q]So, RIP over Brown is not a mild upset prediction? ::uhoh::
