About Clarkson-Dartmouth... I just read in our college newspaper that the
Big Green had TWO apparent goals called back in the game.  In addition to
the one near the end that everyone is talking about, there was another that
was waved off late in the second period.  The referee had blown the play
dead because he had lost sight of the puck before the "goal" was scored.
 
The NCAA Division I ice hockey poll is pretty interesting this week,
basically because there are almost NO changes.  Here's the poll, with
records through February 24:

As Jim Teresco mentioned, the NCAA Division III poll really got shuffled
this week.  I find it interesting that both Elmira and Geneseo State lost
once each last weekend and dropped four and five places, respectively, in
the Division III poll, while in the Division I poll, Clarkson and Cornell
combined for a total of one point in four games -- and DIDN'T MOVE.  It's
also a bit of a surprise that in the midst of all the shuffling in the
Division III poll, the top five teams (Mankato State, Wisconsin-Stevens
Point, Mercyhurst, Middlebury, and Elmira) were listed in that order on all
four poll ballots.  And Mercyhurst wasn't even ranked the week before!
