Union Pregame

OK, I'll start it, but leaving soon for the game.
Here are a couple of articles from Albany and Schenectady papers.
Schnectady Daily Gazette
Albany Times-Union
The Times-Union has some interesting stats.
We've outscored opponents 91-69, Union's been outscored 85-75.
We have best league D at 2.13, they only score at 2.27.
They talked about special teams and here are the conf stats:

    PP   PK  Net Special Teams
CU 21.7 87.6  +8
UC 15.5 81.7  -6

So far I like it.

Lies. Damn lies. And statistics. And here's one I don't like:

Cornell's Head to Head Against Union This Season: 0-2.

I do like the law of large numbers, however...

If you'll forgive the analogy to another sport...

The New York Football Giants were 0-2 against the Dallas Cowboys during the 2007 NFL regular season. I don't mind how that playoff matchup turned out.

And the New York Football Giants were 0-1 against the New England Patriots during the 2007 NFL regular season. I don't mind how that one turned out either.

I know 0-1 isn't as appropriate as Josh's example. But it had to be said.

If you break it down further, in the six periods where Cornell played Union this year, there was one period were Cornell outscored Union (1-0), three periods where the two teams tied (2-2), and two periods where Union outscored Cornell (3-0).

On the power play, Cornell was 1 of 7, whereas Union was 0 of 6.

So, um, it's probably going to be a close series. Not that we didn't know that already.

if the cornell that played Union at home shows up we win.. if the cornell that showed up for the first 2 games vs dart its gonna be a tought weekend.

anyone hear if this game is on tv anywhere? sometimes NESN covers onion playoffs

ignore my question above
