    On another thread you indicated you were making the round trip in one day. If the motive is to save coin, you might want to consider the Northern Family Motel. Basic accommodations, but very competitively priced. On my visit, the Blueberry Muffins that came with the included breakfast were top notch.

    Or, if you decide to splurge after all, the Clarkson Inn is quite nice. Whatever you decide, travel safely!

      I keep forgetting the women's game is at 2pm, so you're gonna need a joint that's open for lunch.... Half Ton's sports bar in Potsdam is usually my go to lunch/pregame spot with my brother before hockey games. Wings, sandwiches, burgers, nachos, beers.

        I too am a wing fanatic, if it's wings your after, The Raquette River Pub, a small pub about 15 minutes from Potsdam in Colton has the best wings around.. Good friends of mine and have won the North Country wing challenge 2 years in a row... Spicy Maple is their fan favorite, but many other good sauces....

        For pizza its Sergis, for Italian its Mama Lucia's, for sreak and seafood its The Lobster House. Those are all can't miss places... Oh and The Cantina in Potsdam has pretty decent mexican and quite good margaritas!!

        I would also recommend an in house dinner at the Barben Rooms right in Cheel, but that won't be until after the women's game. I think saturday night we will eat there..
        ^^^This right here is gold. Thank you!

        I would not eat at Ebens Hearth if it was free.....
        You have my full confidence now.

        Nah it's not that -- I was originally thinking of spending the night but Mrs. TheTiger would rather I get back Saturday if I can, she normally stays at her parents' place if I go somewhere overnight but isn't able to this weekend because they're away.

        I could stay up there if I really have to -- if the weather gets bad or something -- but I try and make my lady happy haha

            Got it; I've set similar itineraries myself. Mrs. pgb isn't a big fan either.

            That said... Clarkson Inn + One of CLKHockey's dinner recommendations? Mrs. TheTiger just might be in. Can't know if you don't ask!

              With the men's playoff games and the women's game this weekend, if you don't have your room booked by last week you can forget about getting anything in Potsdam and you may be lucky to get something in Massina.

                        Surely there's enough hotel space to handle a few hockey games (and only two different visiting teams). It's a town with three colleges in it (with a fourth only 20 miles away)....

                          I can't remember a past matchup of #4 vs #5 where I thought both had a good chance to win if they advance. Of course, #4 seeds (e.g., SLU in 2001, Brown in 2002, UM in 2006) and #5 seeds (Cornell in 2010) have made the final, but I don't remember anyone lower than #3 ever winning the title. Clarkson vs BC, however, is a rather heavyweight matchup for this spot in the bracket.

                            I just wonder how heavyweight it is seeing at both under performed for large chunks of the season. How about last year when the rodents got sent to UW for comparison?

                              They underperformed, but if Sauvé plays like she did last year, Clarkson will be a tough out. And I have it on good authority that people are just plain scared to play BC, so there's that.

                              Wasn't UW vs UM last year at #2 and #7? I didn't think the Gophers last year were good enough to win three straight against teams of that caliber, in spite of their WCHA run. In 2013, I think UND (as an #8 seed) was the equal of BU, but we'll never know how the Whioux would have done versus BC or BU. Maybe they'd have abruptly quit?

                                Three?

                                There are two in Potsdam (SUNY Potsdam and Clarkson) and two in Canton (SUNY Canton and St. Lawrence). Those two towns are 11 miles apart. So, I don't know how you are counting three.

                                And, they are both tiny towns with limited hotel numbers, especially anything other than "fleabag" motels. Though, the new Hampton Inns helped significantly.
