Oh well either way I will enjoy Kurt or whoever is calling the games describe where the rest of the league could finish if this plays out in (once again not a fact based statement) 5 or more different situations.
    I know that you didn't mean that as a statement of fact and were commenting more on the tightness of the standings, but the opportunity to "plug" my thread was there, so I wanted to put it out there. By the way, I absolutely agree with your assessment on the nature of the ECAC where everything seems to come down to the last week or so.
    Go Red!!

      If it had been intentional I'd agree with you but it was a clean collision with 3 players in very close proximity to each other.
      You miss understand me...not saying he did it on purpose and Im sure he's a great kid...the Q is a nice clean program and does a real good job.Im not even saying we haven't done the same thing because we have...all Im saying is the Goaltender is like a quaterback in football there is a code and when you take him out(and injure him to boot) regardless of the circumstances the code MUST be followed to let people know this willl not be tolorated.As our great coach say's often this is a game for Men not Boy's and this is all part of Man(ing) up.Its not personal its part of the game.If anyone doesn't like it may I suggest Billiards on ESPN.This is what makes Hockey and rematches in particular the most exciting game on the planet !Good luck the rest of the season if RPI doesn't go all the way I can assure the Q is one of the teams I could actually root for.(love those uniforms)

        Didnt even see your thread before I made my post...sorry. I checked it out after and it made my head spin, I can only imagine what yours is like. Keep up the good work.

            All I know is that the top three better keep a close eye on Cornell, I thought that team was dead in the water and they have slowly but surely crept back into contention. Nice work on your thread Burgie!

              I thought the same thing. Makes their trip to the Capital District this weekend quite interesting.

                And their final game is at Ingalls, somehow I think that game may have some major implications on the ECAC season as well. I am torn about which of the contending teams I would rather see win up your way this weekend. A Colgate sweep would be nice

                  Cornell remaining games give them a chance to make or break. At Yale #1 at Union #2 at RPI #3 currently and Dartmouth. Brown away is not easy either didn't they lose to them at home? Tying SLU with 15 seconds left and winning in ot (PPG) at home does not bode well imo. What a swing that would have been if SLU held on. You could say some of their wins were against easier opponents that they will not play again in regular season.

                      It was amazing how much trouble they had with the ice at the end of the game. I've never seen the red line physically get dug up through the ice and stick out as a tripping hazard. The first attempted fix involved trying to pack snow into the area and freeze it with the fire extinguisher. This lasted until the first line change when all the snow came right back loose and re-exposed the red line.

                      The second fix involved pouring water on the packed snow and then freezing that, and ended up holding til the end of the game.

                      The zamboni driver also missed a 2-3 inch patch of ice along the boards each time he resurfaced, which didn't help things much. The benches are also directly adjacent to each other at Baker with no space between (the timekeeper is on the far side with the penalty boxes) so there was a ton of traffic at center ice beating up the ice there. It caused issues with line changes several times as there physically wasn't enough room for both teams' players to get to the bench due to the proximity of the two teams.

                        GR-Baker rink is a quaint old place. Line changes can be like a chinese fire drill and the officials could call too many men on the ice almost any time they wish. There were at least 2 instances where we felt they missed that call-once on each team. Overall, however, I was pleasantly surprised at Dell and company. Now if only the linesmen can figure out how to drop the puck without throwing guys out of the face off circle.

                          Kurt Stutt on WRPI seemd quite "amused" with the red line actually getting cut up. I had not realized that they used decals for the lines. I had thought that they painted the concrete.

                            That sounds like a real estate agent's description of a slum.

                              From what I can recall, the more typical approach is to lay down a thin layer of ice on the concrete, then lay down the white base with a mix of white paint and water, then paint the lines on that. After all the lines are painted then they would lay down the heavier top layer of ice (about an inch thick I think).

                              This allows them to reconfigure the ice and lines (removing all logos for example, or putting down a solid white sheet without lines for figure skating competitions) without having to take paint off the concrete. Just melt it down and wash the paint out with the water.

                                That's the way it has been described when I have seen it done on TV. The delay last night did not hurt us but you never know what that kind of delay can do to your momentum.
