    We control our destiny. That's all you can ask for at this point. Win out and we get the bye. Let's do it

      With SLU doing us a solid, we are now within striking distance of the bye. If we sweep the weekend, or at least beat Harvard and then have the same result against Dartmouth as Harvard has against Union, we get the bye based on number of wins. Quinnipiac and Union are presently in overtime, so we'll see what happens there, but we don't have control over that comparison (although again we would most likely get the comparison on wins). Most important thing is to beat Harvard.
      Everything hinges on Friday night.

      Lose, and there's no bye - and they have to fight to stay in 5th on Saturday.

      Tie, and they'd need QU to be swept on the weekend (Brown/Yale) to have an outside chance.

      Win, and they get the bye as long as they match or beat Harvard's result on Saturday.

      Probably means they need to sweep to get the bye, but a sweep does guarantee it so, as you say, the Engineers do control their own destiny.

        We all basically get the picture at this point, but here's the table:
        Code:
           |     3     4     5     6     7     8
        ----------------------------------------
        23 |               5.8  13.5   5.4     x
        24 |               9.3   3.4   0.8      
        25 |         2.3  36.5                  
        26 |   0.0   1.4   8.5                  
        27 |   1.3  12.0
        Just win, baby.

            Could we have both the player of the weekend and the goalie of the weekend in the ECAC? Great senior day for Todd who showed that when set up in the slot he is truly the draft pick Ottawa saw in their crystal ball. I know he will have to do what is best for himself, his family and his career, but being very selfish when I say this, Would love to see him stick around at RPI for one more season. Last time i felt that was in 2000 with Brad Tapper after that fabulous year he scored 31 goals for us. But in his case, they were throwing literally millions at him to leave and you simply cannot ignore that life changing offer.


            BTW Owen Savory save percentage for the weekend looks like 57/58 or 0.98275 as he almost pulled off the double shut out!

              Earliest quoted odds for next week (and these are likely to change in the next 6 days) are the following-
              Win % RPI 34% Harvard 55% Likely score Harvard 4-3 with RPI a 0.5 goal underdog and the over/under total at 6.5 goals.
              Apparently we are getting a little more betting respect.

              For the Dartmouth game the predicted score is a 3-3 tie and RPI a 46% to 43% slight favorite on the road!! Cannot recall when we were any sort of favorite up there.

                Speaking of stats, I looked up to see if we ever had 3 straight shutouts at home and it only happened once. Bobby Fox (now there’s a name from the past) shutout Carleton (6-0), Springfield (13-0), and Middlebury (6-0) back in 1955. Savory was one turnover away from pulling off the same feat.

                  I wonder, what were Harvard's odds against SLU?
                  We control our own destiny, so lets just go out there an do what we did this weekend. Play good solid hockey for sixty minutes a game.

                    Galajda had two shutouts, although probably with less work than Savory had to deal with. But hard to not give goalie of the week to the guy with the goose egg.

                      Definitely less work. Galajda only needed 36 saves to pull off the double shutout. Should be interesting to see who gets chosen.

                          Harcard vs SLU as quoted to me on Friday -84% to 10% for a Harvard win and the predicted score was a 4-1 Harvard victory. Rarely do you ever see a 3 goal favorite and an 84% chance of victory. Well, just goes to show anything can happen especially in the north country.

                              It's an unlikely scenario, and one that no RPI fan wants to see happen, but it is theoretically possible that there could be a four-way tie for fifth through eighth place in the ECAC.

                              It could happen if RPI loses twice, Colgate wins twice, Dartmouth ties Union (and beats RPI), and Yale beats Princeton and ties Quinnipiac (or ties Princeton and beats Quinnipiac).

                              Anyone familiar with the ECAC's procedures for sorting out four-way ties?

                                It's similar to the procedure with lower-order ties. You start with head-to-head points between the teams, and if any team is separated from the pack, you take them out and start over with the smaller tie. So for the situation you mention, RPI would have 6 points, Colgate would have 5, Dartmouth would have 5, and Yale would have 8. As such, Yale would be seeded 5th, RPI would get 6th, and then you break the Colgate-Dartmouth tie as normal (Colgate 7th, Dartmouth 8th by virtue of winning the H2H 3-1).
