Elmira played a good game, had the win except for that 1 second. This was a big "payback" from M'ville for the quarterfinals from 5yrs ago![]()
I just don't see the ECAC West getting 2 teams in the tournamet.
If they do.......it'll be 8/3 and the East Committee will have won another victory.
Would be happy to travel to Elmira however !
Two things we learned tonight...
#1- History always repeats itself...
#2- Keep your mouth shut when there are 8 seconds left and the score is 3-2! It's not over until the fat lady sings!!!![]()
Is this your alter-ego, Prez?![]()
... They deserved the win tonight and never gave up and definitely delivered payback from the 2006 NCAA Quarters game. Literally the EXACT same scenario. ...
Negative. The first lady is real.
She was there tonight and was reffering to TTF chanting its all over with 8 seconds left and Manhattanville down one.
EDIT: When was the game some say it was 5 years ago but 2006 is only 4
Unless there are some 5th year seniors on the teams the only one who was there 5 years ago was Coach Keith Levinthal so how is it a "real" payback?
just saying
Typical Elmira. Can not even hold on to lead. Let a visiting team come in and beat them with one second on the clock. I believe it was Manhattanville who came into town back in '07; down two goals with a couple of minutes left; Manhattanville pulls their goalie and scores twice to beat Elmira in O.T. to win ECAC West, Correct me if I'm wrong. Can not keep turning the puck over in their own zone and expect to win. All year long the the team was playing great hockey but come year end looked like Ceglarski's teams from years past. Still have a heck of a time trying to get puck out of there zone. Elmira's style of play is easy for teams to adapt too. Spend way to much time passing not enough shooting, after all this is Division III hockey. Do not get a lot of quality shots on goal. Maybe someday this program too will win a National title but for now a ECAC W Championship is about all we should be shooting for.
The only game I can find going back from today when Manhattanville tied the game with an extra attacker and then won in OT at Elmira was on December 5, 2008. In 2007, Manhattanville won the ECAC-West (at home) the old fashioned way....they beat the living h-\\ out of Elmira, going up 4-1 early in the 3rd.Correct me if I'm wrong.
Last time EC hosted the ECAC West was 2008 and they lost 1-0 in regulation to Manhattanville.
I forget what happened in 2007. I'm pretty sure Manhattanville hosted though. We beat Hobart in the play-in game and then lost to M'Ville down there I believe.
I am not so sure I would be waiting for the bid. I also don't believe to many teams are wishing to avoid Elmira right now, 2-5 the last seven games. With two of those wins coming from a team who is not in the tourney and one who barely got in.Say what you will about EC and their luck or lack of it ..the final score can't be changed ..even if the refs missed a call..congrads to coach SAUL for being coach of the year ..did a great job and deserves that COACH OF THE YEAR award ...it's been a pleasure watching his work with this team and he's fully deserving of the honour..watch out if elmira gets a shot at a playin game ...lot of teams would be very happy if they don't get in so they avoid having to play them ..after this manhattenville game and their fate" they could be extremely motivated and angry ..hope they get that chance ..any team out there want to play them????
