I'm sure it was a charter if they went last night!

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
The picture seemed to show "elite air" on next to the door, so I'd guess charter. Picture also showed what appeared to be a ATC tower, so I doubt O'burg or Massena. Plattsburgh or Burlington probably.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Well this is useful from the league site. Where was this when I was figuring this all out on my own after a late night road trip to broadcast? http://www.ecachockey.com/men/championship/20140212_Fan_Guide
Also now that there's no 3rd place game there's even less of a chance I will ever go to LP for the ECACs. If I were a player, I'd be so happy as a member of the losing team to get to schlep up there just to play 1 Friday game.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Most likely Plattsburgh ... The pic was posted at 1:00am, it's about 3 hours to Burlington airport and 1 hour 45 minutes to Plattsburgh from Potsdam. If the bus left Potsdam at 10:00pm there is no way they would have made it to Burlington airport and completed the process to take air by 1:00am.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Okay, so I promise I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but not many Harvard fans travel anyways so why would they all of a sudden trek to Lake Placid?
Plus, I don't get the whole trek thing that a few (very small few) people say now and again about Lake Placid ... This "schlep" idea just makes no sense. This is 2015 not 1932. We don't ride on horse and buggy anymore and our vehicles are (or should be!) equipped to handle a short drive on a (slightly) back road ... Just something small that has always irked me!

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
I went up with two couples to the tourney last year from New Haven. The schlep was not that bad for an annual trip, stayed at the beautiful Hampton Inn right on the lake. There is enough to do in the area to keep anyone occupied. We visited the olympic sites, rode the bobsled, went up to Whiteface, Lake Placid Brewery etc. Just an all around nice experience with three good hockey games included. The fact that out two wives would like to go back is a testament to the location and it's viability as a great destination for the tourney. No horses in the race last year either, just there for good hockey.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
But I do travel (or did, anyway) so there's that. Heck, I left at 3AM so I could get to be on College GameDay this year. (And FWIW, I've already thought about maybe doing the Saturday game if Harvard hosts in 2 weeks.)
From where I am to Lake Placid is, with no traffic, 5 hours (which is long and tedious). That already makes coming up for the Friday game difficult without missing work. Now if in this theoretical year, I wait to see if Harvard plays on Saturday, we're talking leaving in the morning on Sat. and possibly not getting a hotel room (the ECAC block was booked a week before for Atlantic City in 2012) or paying through the nose for one because I couldn't book in advance since they could possibly not play at all on Saturday. So if the game ends at 10, we're talking a 5 hour drive back. I mean, it's not like I haven't done it before. I usually went straight back from the North Country to Cambridge, although I always spent two days driving up. But my own personal choice would be not to go and not drive for 10 hours to see a 2.5 hour hockey game. If it were in Albany and it was a mere 3 hours (if that)? Yeah, I'd wait until Saturday and then go in a heart beat.
I'm not saying no fan bases should go. I'm not saying LP isn't a great little town - I played in 2 or 3 Can/Am tournaments as a kid.
I'm just saying it was unlikely I'd ever go to LP for the ECACs and the lack of a guaranteed Saturday game lowers that chance further. It's all academic because I doubt we'll get there anyway this year.

It is a horrible, crappy, back road all the way drive for me. I was one of the most vocal people saying move it to Albany! But, boy, was I wrong. LP is a magical place and worth the drive. I hope it stays put because we have tried everything else short of moving it back to Boston somewhere or NYC somewhere, and the other venues were awful!
Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
How do things look for tonight? Injury report? Who is missing? Good luck against BC. May the "Force Be With You."
Just think of BC as the evil empire and you are up against the BC Death Star.
Jimmy Vesey just needs to turn off his targeting computer and use the force and take the shot !!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=220l5e0My-Q
and remember, regardless of the outcomne, whatever does not kill you, only makes you stronger !!!

Jake Horton left the Clarkson game in the 1st period and did not return, but no known injuries that I know of outside of that.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
My preference is LP but that's purely romantic, not pragmatic. Albany is the most practical choice. Boston is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hockey East, NYC is terrible for families. Hartford, New Haven and Worcester are other potential choices, but if you're going to put it in a drab, rundown, boring place, put it in a centralized drab, rundown, boring place. Albany.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Actually New Haven would not be possible, only Ingalls here. Bridgeport OTOH is the perfect size for the tournament, but that city puts puts the drab in drab.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
I'd rather jam a carrot peeler up my nose and sniff salt than spend one more minute in the TUC in Albany. Personally, if it ever leaves LP again, I'd vote for a metropolitan area outside of the league boundries such as Rochester, Buffalo, Portland, ME or Manchester, NH. Portland or Manchvegas being my first choice. Nice place to go. Reasonable building. And not that far off the grid.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Sorry, didn't mean to retred old ground with this debate. I only meant to say I think the lack of a 3rd place game is strange (though I get how it could affect the league negatively) and that it makes ME PERSONALLY less likely to go to the ECACs.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
True, but ice in the arena generally makes for a better tourney, and AC didn't even have that. Hookers and Drug Dealers, yes. But no ice.
I don't like the dropping of the 3rd place game. A few years ago when we beat Princeton in the shootout it was probably the best game of the weekend. Some might say Yale upsetting us in the semi-final with bang-bang goals to come from behind in the last 1:07, but I have blocked that from memory.

While I do agree that the consolation game should return, that game that you pointed out cost us a trip to the NCAA tournament. If we win we made the tournament, if we tied (the shootout win still counted as a tie) then we didn't make the tournament. Had we not had a 3rd place game that year, we would have made the tournament. It sucked and unfortunately it can happen where it hurts a team as was the case there!
