    And not un-coincidentally (?), the Crimson have traditionally
    struggled at the Garden, both in the Beanpot and in the ECACs.
    Don't underestimate this factor.  That's why I believe Northeastern
    has a chance to beat Maine.

    I think you are thinking of the 1983-84 RPI team which lost three
    games in the ECAC and six overall (32-6).  The 1984-85 team (35-2-1)
    lost its two games to SLU and North Dakota, back-to-back early in the
    season.  RPI then went on a 38-game unbeaten streak (36-0-2) that wasn't
    broken until the next season with an 8-5 loss at Yale.  The ties were with
    Lake Superior in the 1985 NCAAs, 3-3, and Clarkson, 1-1 at Walker, early
    in 85-86.
