Well, since the ECAC has already moved many of Dartmouth's remaining
Saturday games to Sunday, scheduling another game between the travel
partners on Saturday is actually a *plausible* solution, but I have
one problem with it - it benefits Dartmouth to the *detriment* of its
opponents.  All three teams would be playing two games over the
course of the weekend, but Dartmouth would get a day off in between,
while the travel partners would both be playing on consecutive nights.
