The ECAC has made the terrible decision to go with America One again for the tourney feeds. The United States should sue them for the poor use of a good name.

You think you guys lose out when America One does the broadcasts?

America One has been notorious for choppy and even non existant feeds in the past. As Yale fans we are spoiled by a nice high def feed, and the Ivy League Digital Network also made great strides this year with the member school feeds. I have never had an uninterrupted America One feed, numerous page reloads just to unfreeze the screen, that type stuff. What do you mean by "lose out".

I meant that going from free, high quality RPI TV to pay-per-view, ****ty America One is terrible. I guess Yale has a great in-house feed too. It just blows my mind that the ECAC can see how good a job it's schools do on their own for video and use this terrible service.

For whatever reason, the Ivy League contracted with a for pay service this year and it has worked well. I payed $40 for three months of every Ivy League home game at all schools for every sport that they play, which I considered a bargain. I think the firm they used was Neulion, the ECAC should look at them for better quality at least. I also agree that schools like RPI, QU and Yale who already had great free high quality feeds should have been allowed to continue. We all know that the almighty dollar will win out as far as the schools are concerned.

Looks like a finisher and his twin brother coming in to Yale, maybe next season.

I see your point, but the ECAC even had RPI TV do the broadcasts for Atlantic City last year. I just don't get seeing what high quality feeds are possible and then choosing to go with the terribleness that is America One.

Next time take the train

If I had been going straight back to NYC, that's what I would have done. But I was continuing on to Providence for the Union/Brown game at 4:00 the next day and then was in Boston on Saturday night and Sunday.

It gets worse, from Nate Owen's USCHO column---- ECAC Hockey announced that America One will stream all of the league’s playoff games.

I think it is a foregone conclusion that Harvard's season ends tonight. We're a long way from being a serious contender. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks.

Maybe I'm just cynical from too many RPI playoff series, but calling a series done before the clock reads 0:00 and one team has won a majority of the games played is almost always a mistake. I do think the Bulldogs will come out on top this weekend, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's hockey at the Whale tomorrow.

Or maybe you're just trying to put the hex on like those guys who scream "SHUTOUT" and "PERFECT GAME" before it's really time. Jerk.

Since Yale has not shown the ability to put two good games back to back on the same weekend, I wouldn't be surprised, either.

I've seen Harvard play Yale twice this season and I didn't come away with a whole lot of confidence that the Crimson can beat Yale especially at the Whale. Okay so you've had problems in the second of back to back games but we also lost two of our forwards last night so we're shorthanded and less talented. Not a script for success.
