Oh God... Harvard gonna Harvard cornell

Cornell has won all four Lynah series against Harvard: 1990, 1997, 2000, and 2010.

Congratulations all of our long-suffering eLynah RPI fans. Now Godspeed against Q.

RPI has a long-history of winning when a last seed in the playoffs. i can remember like it was yesterday RPI, the lowest seed (#8) in the ECAC playoffs, defeating #1 UNH in 1974 in OT on a goal by Rick Smith. The only video I have ever seen is [www.youtube.com] showing UNH scoring 3 goals in 1:39. Whenever someone posts a comment stating that RPI actually won the game it eventually gets deleted. Revisionist history.

Reducing the first round of the ECAC playoffs to a one-and-done certainly increases the odds of an upset. Since I'm too lazy to look this up myself, how many times has the No. 12 seed knocked off the No. 5 seed since the ECAC expanded the playoffs to all 12 teams? I'm assuming it's not that common an occurrence.

2-19 since they started doing it in 2003.

2011 Colgate over RPI, 2-4, 5-2, 2-1 (2ot)
2024 RPI over Clarkson, 3-2

So, 1-1 as single game vs 1-18 as best of 3.

In 2 of those 18, the #12 won game 1 and then was swept in games 2-3:

2012 Brown at Quinnipiac
2013 Harvard at Dartmouth

And ironically the one time a #12 beat a #5 in three games, the #5 would have escaped had it been a single game.

Thanks for your post on that video. Also thanks to stephenkrause1122. I am going to have to remember to check if they are deleted. BTW, I am pretty sure that the video was posted by the same person who posts on USCHO with the handle C-H-C [fanforum.uscho.com]. I do regard UNH as much the better team that year, and they would not have dug themselves a deep hole early had their #1 goalie, Cap Raeder, not been playing injured until he was replaced.

I add that in the ECAC semis in Boston Harvard trounced RPI, and Cornell did the same in the consolation game. The victory over UNH was enough to earn RPI a bid to the one and only Hockey NIT that year. It was turned down.

Lets hope 2 weeks off have helped the health issues the team was running with.

Day in the life of Jonathan Castagna

Thanks for posting. Time management is huge. The kids come off as kids but a lot more serious seeming about school than the guys in my day when they were, shall we say, unserious.

Also very impressed by Castagna’s shot. Really ripped it.

Biggest takeaway:will Jimmy Rayhill get through four years without ever playing? Has that ever happened? Will coach find a game to get him in?

Misha Song comes to mind, although I don't think he was "officially" on the team roster his senior year. I also believe he did "dress" for 1 or 2 games, but never actually got on the ice.

I think you’re right about Song.

i think Song may have played some exhibition time, right?
