        This is an even bigger over-reaction than RPI's.

        Nothing has happened in Essex County (for nearly a quarter-century).

            As a result, Harvard will forfeit its series with RPI. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ne...d-Forfeits.php

                      You have to admit that it would be a bit odd for us to get the free pass to Lake Placid (or wherever) just because we got lucky and our opponent dropped out. The league has a few days to move travel arrangements, so it makes sense that Cornell should get the bye based on their play. Obviously if the news had dropped Friday (or even tomorrow), things are probably different, but they do have time and it makes sense for them to use it.

                          Could you run a set of simulations based upon Cornell getting the bye?

                                I am confused. Is our season now over also? i will have very little to occupy my time now. Will there be a baseball season? Will the earth still rotate on it's axis? We will still revolve around the sun? Do we stay on daylight savings time? So much to think about.
