RPI 2020 Off-season Overtime: In Memory of Turk181

I noticed that UML has cancelled scheduled games for this coming weekend as well.... I wonder if Savory can transfer back to RPI, similar to a free agent rental in pros sports ?? HA HA
 
Do folks think there will be an extra year of eligibility offered to all players? And if so couldn’t some of the players especially one of the senior goalies play next year and get a graduate degree? I realize that could mess up incoming players, but it might offer a way to soften the blow a little bit?

Marshall would be eligible in any case since this could be his redshirt year.
 
Today is 21 January 2021. There are 254 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 2 October 2021 for the start of next season.
 
Since we have not seen any of the incoming players and I certainly am no expert on the recruits, would Marshall, even inconsistent, be better than being thrown to the lions? I get it he has a redshirt year, but if players are given an extra year, would Calvaruso be an option? At least one of those two could provide Miller or an incoming freshman some degree of mentoring re the college game.

Would not lose a whole lot of sleep over the incoming goaltenders we have yet to see. By the next time our administration allows the athletics department to do their jobs, one will be 22 and the other will be 21. They have both been in a few rodeos beyond the high school or prep school level. Both must be able to keep six ounces of vulcanized rubber out of nets or what we already know is a very good judge of talent and recruiter would not have brought them here.

If neither of the seniors is returning, I would expect another goalie recruit soon.

Interesting that our first 3 ECAC games (and 4 of the first 5) are against the only 4 league teams that are playing this year. Of course, we will probably play Union before then.
 
Tristan Ashbrook provided the insurance goal for MTU tonight. Ordinarily I have no interest in transfers, but Ashbrook and Savory are exceptions due to the unprecedented situation.

Out of curiosity, I took a glance at the ECAC standings today.

Quinnipiac is in first place with a record of 4-2-3-2-1-1 for 17 points. In order, those first six numbers correspond to W, L, T, SO, OW, and OL.

Obviously some new categories have been added that have never been part of the ECAC standings before. I'm not entirely clear on what some of these categories stand for or how many points they are worth.

T always used to be ties - if you played overtime and neither team scored, each team got one point. My best guess is that SO stands for shootouts, which we never used to have. We always had overtime wins and overtime losses, but never used to distinguish between W and OW, or between L and OL - if you won in overtime, you won and got two points, and if you lost in overtime, you lost and got no points.

If we have categories for shootouts, overtime wins, and overtime losses, it seems that the league plans to determine a winner in every game, which leads to the question - how would a game ever end up in a tie?

I feel fairly secure in saying that an L is probably a loss in regulation time and is still worth zero points. Other than than, I'm not sure how many points a team gets for a W, a T, an SO, an OW, or an OL. I'm also not sure whether the same game can be counted in multiple categories, i.e., as both a T and an SO or OL, or as both a W and an OW.

Anyone know how the system works? Anyone know whether the ECAC is planning to use this system in future seasons?
 
Other leagues have been using a 3-2-1-0 system with 3 for a regulation win, 2 for an OT or SO win, 1 for an OT or SO loss, and 0 for a regulation loss.

Edit: Looking at the individual game results, that is what was done. WLT corresponds to what used to be done. I don't know where you got those numbers for QU/

I got those numbers right here at USCHO. I clicked on D-I Men, then on Standings, and scrolled down to the ECAC.

As of today, Clarkson has caught up to Quinnipiac and both teams have 17 points. USCHO's standings don't shed any light on whether SO stands for shootout win or shootout loss, nor do they explain how a game gets classified as a T. My first thought would be that a T stands for a game that is tied at the end of regulation, thus ensuring that the team gets one point, and then an additional points would be added if the team won in overtime or in a shootout. But if only three of Quinnipiac's games have been tied at the end of regulation, I don't see how they wound up with one overtime win, one overtime loss, and two shootouts.
