Colgate 2024-25 Harder Hockey

I would start both Andrew Takacs and Nick Haas this weekend. Probably Haas on Friday against RPI and Takacs on Saturday versus Union. But I could be talked into the other way around. Of course, there is a good reason or two why I am not a coach.
 
Iowa, i have no issue starting the two goalies, however, given that RPI is the easier test, put tackas in that game to solidify the 2 points necessary. Once you have the bye then do what you want. I’d hate to have our #2 in against RPI and regret it when we play the 1 and done game
 
Red, I have no problems with that strategy. Someone said Cornell needs to sweep the same two opponents and then have ‘Gate beat Union to secure its bye. Any truth to that?
 
So, Cornell is in an odd position.

They would need both union and colgate not to get 2 points and have to get at least 5points…this situation is impossible so there will be only one spot for the colgate/union loser, Dartmouth and cornell.

So for Cornell, what they would need is for get at least 5 of 6 points (or 6), and not be tied with Dartmouth. Cornell’s tie breaker with union is up in the air but assuming Cornell gets what it needs to get up to a bye position the tie breaker with union might come down to points against top four.

Colgate owns the tiebreakers against both Cornell and Dartmouth. First tiebreaker is total points against the other team, hence Gate four points to Cornell's two, and Gate four points over Dartmouth's two points. That's a start, too many other scenarios to figure out. The way I see it, if we get at least two points from RPI we can't be caught by Cornell or Dartmouth for the bye.

Even if all that happens, it's not a guarantee Cornell gets a bye. If Dartmouth wins both of their games this weekend in regulation they finish ahead of Cornell since they have a head-to-head tiebreaker.
