Re: RPI Offseason Thread: 7 Months of Drivel
1) Ralph this countdown is very depressing.
2) I just voted for Higgs and noted his percentage is falling. C'mon guys keep voting.
3) Okay, so the ECAC didn't get 5 teams in the NCAAs as looked possible early on. As of last night's (Friday) results, Colgate pulled off a miracle finish and it appears that 3 ECAC teams will make the field as Cornell looks to have no chance. My question to all is - should there be a consolation game? Some might argue that it can work against a team on the bubble. But this year clearly Cornell would still have a chance to make the NCAAs if the ECAC kept the consolation. So it can work either way. In my opinion, I would rather see the consolation restored. It is better for the fans of the semi-final losers that made the trip to Lake Placid because they see a second game. It also eliminates the uncertainty of keeping a hotel room for Saturday night and it helps the local economy to boot. Since the ice is up and the venue is available I can really see no downside economically. Can more hockey be a bad thing? So why was it eliminated?
