    1st) get as many points as Princeton AND
    - Get 2 more points than Dartmouth
    - Get 3 more points than Yale
    - End up in a three way tie with Yale and Dartmouth (we win with most points between teams)
    - End up in a four way tie with Yale, Dartmouth and Princeton. ( we win with most points between teams)

    *We do not have the tie breaker against Dartmouth based on the 3rd tiebreaker (points against the top 4, assuming top four is Union, Harvard, Cornell and St. Lawrence), and there is no way for us to be tied with Dartmouth and have the 2nd tiebreaker (league wins). So we have to be ahead of them at the end of Saturday. Yale we just have to tie with as we have the head to head win.

    If anyone sees another way or if I messed up a tie breaker, let the discussion begin
    Looks right to me Red.
    It all starts with the goaltending.

        I haven't missed RPI men at Colgate since 2008; I have no intentions of breaking that streak this weekend. Did Good Nature get taps in there, or am I going to have to pre-game?

          Looks right to me Red. Our best-case scenario for Friday is, in order of priority:
          -We defeat Union
          -St. Lawrence defeats Dartmouth
          -Quinnipiac defeats Yale

          If those all happen, we would climb into 8th with 1 game to go. Meanwhile, if we lose Friday and Dartmouth defeats SLU, that will guarantee us a 9th or 10th place finish, forcing us on the road.

            not to diminish the UMD winner (Connelly?), but Austin deserved the Hobey...and I don't think it was even that close...I remember the commentary on USCHO.com that year and a lot of college hockey savants were quite surprised at the result...UMD had a great year, but Smith #s were absolutely the best, 36 goals for Christ's Sake and a plus 25 on a team that went 19-17 (with ties)...let's get a split this weekend and see what happens...and let's score some GD goals...PLEASE

                Nope, planning on being at both games. Thank Doc Gowan for that !

                  I wholeheartedly agree with you GreenCoat. I think the fact that we missed the NCAA's that year hurt us. We started the 2011-12 campaign 12-4-2, then went 7-13-1 the rest of the way, failing to win 20 games. Wonder if that factored in as well...

                    I'm just getting into random scenarios here but this would also get us into eighth place on Friday (however it would not allow us to control our own destiny on Saturday).

                    Tie against union. A Princeton tie, and a Dartmouth loss.

                    We wouldn't control our own destiny because we couldn't be tied with Dartmouth alone at the end of the season and get the tie breaker so we would be reliant on Princeton to tie with us

                      That would put us into a 3-way tie for 8th with 1 game to go. A 3-way tie between 'Gate, Dartmouth, and Princeton would go Dartmouth-Colgate-Princeton, in that order.

                        Yea, you are right, I should have read my first post! The three way tie we win is Yale, Dartmouth and Colgate.

                            I'm with ya... but I do know we need the upset Friday otherwise the big brain stuff doesn't matter much. Let's get that done, then worry about Saturday!

                              Looking forward to tonight's game, we're playing better and gave Union all they could handle in Schenectady. Maybe we can start a new "Curseeeee".

                                Seriously, is there ice at Starr? Given the importance of the game we should have the game there. What was union at Starr 3-14-1???
