Are There Games This Weekend?<\/h4>\n

Let’s take a quick look at the schedule for this weekend, shall we?<\/p>\n

Friday, October 27<\/b>
Waterloo at Clarkson<\/a>
St. Francis Xavier at
Vermont<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday, October 28<\/b>
Army<\/a> at Rensselaer<\/a>
Merrimack<\/a> at Union<\/a>
Waterloo at
Cornell<\/a>
St. Francis Xavier at
Dartmouth<\/a>
Moncton at
Yale<\/a>
Wilfrid Laurier at
Princeton<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday, October 29<\/b>
Union<\/a> at Providence<\/a>
Moncton at
Brown<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice something here?<\/p>\n

There are seven<\/I> ECAC teams (Brown, Clarkson, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, Vermont, Yale) involved in exhibitions this weekend.<\/p>\n

There are three<\/I> ECAC teams (Colgate, Harvard, St. Lawrence) idle.<\/p>\n

That leaves two<\/I> ECAC teams (Rensselaer, Union) playing games that count in the standings.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait until the season really gets into full swing. We miss games that count.<\/p>\n

Speaking Of Missing Things…<\/h4>\n

Missing games that count got us thinking. There are a lot of things about ECAC hockey that we miss. Granted, we’re not that old, but we’ve been around. We miss:<\/p>\n

  • A prime-time scorer who dominates the league.\n
  • A team that demands respect from the rest of college hockey, year in and year out, without question.\n
  • 7:30 p.m. starts on Saturday nights.\n
  • 7:30 p.m. starts on Friday<\/i> nights.\n
  • Army\/Princeton road trips … we just don’t have all-out brawls like that anymore.\n
  • Walker Arena.\n
  • The Hockey Line around the Rensselaer Union and the crazies that slept out for more than 30 days to get season tickets.\n
  • Students who went to games and cheered for 60 full minutes.\n
  • The days when the biggest story coming out of Burlington had to do with Eric Perrin and Martin St. Louis giving out bagels and juice to the fans waiting in line for season tickets.\n
  • Martin St. Louis and Eric Perrin.\n
  • The days when chants and cheers were clean and creative.\n
  • The days when a four-year career was a given, not a hope.\n
  • The respect that this conference deserves.\n
  • Terry Slater and Charlie Morrison.\n

    Boy, there are so many more things we miss, but we only have so much space…<\/p>\n

    Our Record<\/b>
    Last Week: 5-2<\/b>
    Season: 7-6<\/b>, .508<\/p>\n

    This Week’s Picks<\/b><\/p>\n

    Saturday, October 28<\/b>
    Army<\/a> at Rensselaer<\/a>
    The Engineers were without Marc Cavosie last weekend. With both Matt Murley and he in the lineup and a home opener, we like the Engineers.
    Rensselaer 6, Army 2<\/I><\/b><\/p>\n

    Merrimack<\/a> at Union<\/a>
    The Dutchmen will try to keep playing the tight-checking game at home. This one will be a low-scoring affair, but the Dutchmen fall.
    Merrimack 3, Union 1<\/I><\/b><\/p>\n

    Sunday, October 29<\/b>
    Union<\/a> at Providence<\/a>
    A tough weekend for the Dutchmen. They play at home on Saturday night, then hop on the bus and head to Providence. The Friars prevail at home.
    Providence 5, Union 1<\/I><\/b><\/p>\n

    Exhibition Time!<\/b><\/p>\n

    Friday, October 27<\/b>
    Waterloo at
    Clarkson<\/a> St. Francis Xavier at Vermont<\/a><\/p>\n

    Saturday, October 28<\/b>
    Waterloo at
    Cornell<\/a>
    St. Francis Xavier at
    Dartmouth<\/a>
    Moncton at
    Yale<\/a>
    Wilfrid Laurier at
    Princeton<\/a><\/p>\n

    Sunday, October 29<\/b>
    Moncton at
    Brown<\/a><\/p>\n

    There’s only one thing we hate more than exhibitions, and that’s picking them. But we can tell you one thing — at least two ECAC teams will lose exhibition game this weekends. The ECAC goes 5-2 in those seven games.<\/p>\n
