We'd rather win the whole sha-bang in AC and solidify the PWR standing.
You'd rather have the Dutch lose to RPI than lose to a couple of TUCs in Atlantic City!
Trust us, it worked out for RPI last season

Re: Union Hockey 2011-2012 Season Thread "We Can See Cleary Now"
Big congratulations to the players and coaches for another excellent regular season!! 20 wins and winning the league, along with a tough OOC schedule are great accomplishments. Very happy for what is essentially (excepting Bennett) a new coaching staff. I had no doubt about Bennett being the right person for the job, but was not sure how the new assistants would pan out There was a lot of work done by the coaches this year and there were several times during the season where things could have gone bad, but the staff seemed to push the right buttons.. by January roles were established, the freshmen were fitting in and the team got on a big roll. Kudos to coaches Tapp, Dumais and Beal.
..and to set the record straight, Union would have finished 1st without any help from RPI. I'm happy for Appert and his players that they had a good final weekend in what has been a tough season, but it's not like RPI made Union a first place team.
Regarding the PWR, U's fortunes will depend greatly on what teams qualify or don't qualify as TUCs when the dust settles. Some current non-TUCs that would help Union by becoming TUCs are RIT, Yale and Clarkson. Meanwhile, current TUCs Quinnipiac, Harvard and Colgate need to stay as TUCs. On the other side of things it would help for UNH to fall from TUC status.. obviously not all of these ECAC teams will win enough in the playoffs to qualify as TUCs, but something to keep in mind while checking out next weekend's scores.

False. If Cornell had won, you would have been in a tie with them for points. Due to your head-to-head matchup (3 points for Cornell vs. 1 point for Union), Cornell would have received the top seed, and you would have received #2.
Once again, you're welcome.

Re: Union Hockey 2011-2012 Season Thread "We Can See Cleary Now"
Sigh.. I would expect RPI folks to be better with numbers than that.. Union & Cornell would have been tied for first at 32 points.. yes, for seeding purposes and the Cleary Cornell would have had the first seed, but both teams would have ended up in 1st.

Actually, you would have been Cleary Cup co-champions.
But hey, the regular season title means jack squat. There's no auto-bid associated with it.

"Cleary," you are unaware of the ECAC's criteria for awarding the thing.

I am grateful of course for his good fortune and I think it's pretty cool that a senior gets to store that kind of play in his memory bank. For an award starved program like Union's the Cleary Cup is a notable achievement but it has developed to the point where it pales in significance compared to a conference championship or an NCAA run.

The Cleary Cup will be presented to Union during Coach's Corner Live tomorrow night at Bombers.

Just hope Brown doesn't win their series with Q-Pac.
Attended the hardware presentation last night at Bomber's. One down, two to go.
Just hope Brown doesn't win their series with Q-Pac.

I see your line of thinking, however, if the same logic holds true for RPI, your boys will be cleaning out their lockers on Monday.....

Methinks someone missed the point of my joke. Check your team-by-team records for this year. Look at all those points you got against Brown this year.

Re: Union Hockey 2011-2012 Season Thread "We Can See Cleary Now"
I'm expecting RPI to be the lowest seed left and thus Union's opponent next weekend.
12 BROWN/5 QPAC... Brown doesn't beat anyone but Union and they haven't won a single game since beating Union on 1/21. QPac just beat Brown on 2/24 and enter the playoffs on a strong note (one loss in final 5 regular season games). The Bobcats protect their home ice well, going 11-3-3 on the year. QPac sweeps.
11 PRINCETON/6 YALE... Yale enters the playoffs on a 4 game unbeaten streak, a period which includes a 5-2 win over Princeton. Yale is 2-0-1 vs Princeton this year and Princeton has just one win in their last seven overall. Yale sweeps.
10 RPI/ 7 CLARKSON.... Think this one is going 3, but see RPI coming out ahead. Clarkson has struggled of late, going 1-3-1 in their past 4. RPI is riding high after road wins over Cornell and Colgate. RPI has a 6 game road unbeaten streak.

Re: Union Hockey 2011-2012 Season Thread "We Can See Cleary Now"
I think anything can happen in the first round. ECAC teams take turns beating each other all season. Look for the teams with the hot goalie to advance. Here is Ken Schott's video from the Cleary Cup ceremony at Bomber's. http://www.dailygazette.com/videos/2012/feb/28/971/
SLU - Dartmouth too close to call?
