RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020 Part III: Destination: Lake Placid (and Beyond)!!

Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020 Part III: Destination: Lake Placid (and Beyond)!!

To get away from the coronavirus theme for a moment -

My recollection is that, for a number of years, overtime in ECAC playoff games has been conducted using the NHL playoff model. If regulation ends in a tie, they resurface the ice and then start a 20-minute overtime period. If somebody scores, they win; if not, and the first overtime ends in a tie, they resurface the ice again and start another 20-minute overtime.

I noticed that when the Princeton-Dartmouth game went to overtime last night, the USCHO scoreboard indicated that the overtime period would last only five minutes. Princeton scored and the game ended after less than four minutes of overtime play.

Has the ECAC changed its rules about overtime in playoff games? Or did the USCHO scoreboard operator absent-mindedly key up a 5-minute overtime the way it had been during the regular season, forgetting that the playoffs were supposed to be different?

This would suggest the rules have not changed, and it is still 20 minute overtimes: https://twitter.com/ecachockey/status/1236121012992794626

Norris has a conference call with the president and cabinet tonight. Very likely it gets cancelled. Best case scenario the ECAC can move it to the Times Union Center since their offices are located there and it's free next weekend.

So our fans, including students can be exposed as long as it is off campus? Then again, at the TU Center they could invoke Doc's every three seat rule. They could probably have a row per fan rule.

P.S. Great 2nd half so far in the BB game.

Tufts just finding it a bit too easy to score against our defense which has been tough all year (ranked about third nationally in Division III)

Colgate now over Brown 2-1 and Princeton over DC 1-0

I was flipping around, but I don't think they resurfaced the ice. I'll check.

Question - how would anyone know if and when they are exposed? With flu season at full tilt right now either at peak incidence or just past peak, with symptoms very similar to Corona, there is no way to know. Cannot see testing 330 million people for this. i would call what is being done selective epidemiology.

Late in the first Harvard score 2 quick ones and it is 2-0.

Now 3-0 and Harvard still has 3 minutes left of a 5 min PP.
Looks like the Crimson are coming to town (wherever they play it)

That boarding penalty on SLU late in the period for the 5 minute penalty was quite a hit and Harvard took advantage for that last goal and has time remaining as you mention
 
Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020 Part III: Destination: Lake Placid (and Beyond)!!

Princeton had been up as much as 3-0 but DC just scored and it is 3-1

I saw that hit and totally agree. It was a legit 5. One more Harvard goal in the first 3 minutes of the second and that should put that series away.

In the mean time -Yale throwing everything but the kitchen sink on net and Hanson has stopped everything so far for a 1-0 lead

We almost never give up 75 points in any game. When you get this far into the bracket, all the teams are very good and you just have to be a bit lucky I suppose. 66 is our normal to score but Tufts just hit too many clutch shots.

Harvard got another on that 5 minute power play and it is 4-0
