An ECAC championship, a quarterfinal playoff team (with not too many seniors
left), and tied for first with 6 games left - not too bad.
 
Fridgen, Stan Moore (Union) and Don Cahoon (Princeton) have my top
three votes so far. No particular order, of course.
 
>A Union/Rpi 2 of 3 is looking like another possibility.
 
Don't get me started....  :-)
 
If they were to meet in the playoffs this year, I'd venture to guess it would
be a bit more heated. Union is just dying to beat RPI in a 3-game series and
RPI has just had Union's number. That would be fun.

Trevor has been outstanding. He seemed to get a little burnt out when
Union played at Brown last month. Thus, Leeor Shtrom got the starts
against RPI. Trevor came back last weekend, only to make 40 saves
against Clarkson and 34 against SLU. Looks like it's Trevor down the
stretch for Union.

It was somehwat disappointing to see RPI lose soundly to Clarkson and
get a front page article, while Union wins and gets 2 short paragraphs
on page 4 of the Sports section. No offense to Engineers or thier fans,
of course. This just doesn't seem quite right.
 
Although, the TU gave Clarkson the front page coverage in both Saturday's
AND Sunday's paper. Maybe the TU realizes the region is full of Clarkson
alumni. But, why wouldn't they give better Clarkson coverage, in general.
The TU's college hockey equal, unbiased coverage of Union and RPI has been
inconsistent at best. I'm awaiting a reply from the Sports Editor.   ;-)

Clearly....
 
Here's to a great finish in the ECAC!!!
