It happened in the 1989-90 season, the first year the ECAC implemented the preliminary round games -- but that was a case of three teams fighting it out for the tenth and final spot... nothing like the mess we have in the league this year. I don't think I've ever seen a situation where a team could finish the season tied with any of SEVEN other opponents, which is the case with Harvard this year. Well, at least it's exciting -- or nerve-wracking, take your pick. -- Disclaimer -- Unless otherwise noted, all opinions expressed above are strictly those of: Bill Fenwick | Send your HOCKEY-L poll responses to: Cornell '86 and '94.5 | [log in to unmask] LET'S GO RED!!
