Quinnipiac: 1-8. Needs 6 points to clinch bye without help

Harvard: 1-8. Needs 6 points to clinch bye without help

Union: 2-8

Yale: 3-8

Obviously the Crimson being in control of their own destiny is a good thing, and with the way Harvard has played over its last 6 games, these last three games (vs. Brown, @ Colgate, @ Cornell) are highly winnable. The Colgate/Cornell roadtrip is always difficult, but I like Harvard's chances in the ECAC. 

Clarkson has clinched a bye and Princeton is verging on clinching. That leaves 2 first-round byes to Cornell, Quinnipiac, Harvard and Union. Unless Yale and Colgate can run the table, it'll be difficult for them to get back in the race at this point. 

Tune in Saturday at 6:45pm for Harvard vs. Brown from the Bright Hockey Center. Nick Crowne and Ben Weintraub have the call on 95.3 FM WHRB, streaming live on the web at www.whrb.org
