Cornell 1 St. Lawrence 0

A win clinches third.

A win clinches third.

Interestingly, this predictor says that if we lose out--go 0-7, including losses against RPI, StL, and Brown, all in the bottom six of the PWR--we still have a 68% of making the NCAAs. My prior criticisms of this model don't apply to this case, but that still seems difficult to believe...

We'd still be what, 19-9-2? That's a very good record. I'm guessing that model isn't factoring in the ECAC playoffs because we don't know who we'd play.

68% seems about right-ish. Keep in mind that a bad loss to RPI only dropped us from 1st to 3rd/4th or so.

I think the RPI loss has (maybe fortuitously) made us forget that statistically at least this is one of the greatest seasons in Cornell history.

Still working for me with 7 mins left in first intermission

my feed just died, said to reload the page. Video not coming back up though.

I really like the St. Lawrence announcer. He understands the game and his talking helps you understand what you are seeing.

i restarted my laptop and that did the trick

also an interesting low angle and so far (around a minute since i tuned in) they follow the puck well)

And on the other side, he's not hesitant to express his displeasure for the officials tonight.

no problem with galajda but tell me more about these new guys "fleagle" and "bettis"

Is this the most uninspired hockey ever or what?

And how do we get called for too many men *twice* in a game?

Butt-ending major on SLU. I can't remember the last time I've seen one of those.

Interesting weekend for the Big Red: 1 goal and 3 points.

Yeah, Cornell clearly had too many men on the ice many, many times. The announcer was harping on it, but he wasn't wrong - Cornell was lucky to only get caught on 2 of them.

This was a super sloppy game. It's like this wasn't even the same team that played Union just 8 days ago. Then again, given all the injuries, I guess in some sense it wasn't the same team that played Union 8 days ago.

Cornell wasn't lucky to win this game - they had the better of the play - but I think they were lucky to be up against an even sloppier and all around weaker SLU team.

I couldn't see the bench well, but the SLU play-by-play guy - who seemed like a straight shooter - said that there were at least two more uncalled. He also didn't see the butt-end, but then again neither did I because it was in a scrum in front of the Saints net. Never even said who took the wrong end of the stick and nobody seemed visibly hurt. He was definitely upset about a no-call boarding in the second that knocked one of their guys out for the rest of the game.

Our guys scored only 1 in the third but Starrett hit the pipe on an open net off of a beautiful pass from Angello and Yates got the puck right between the circles on a pass from ... I don't remember ... and one-timed it even though he had a LOT of time to make a move. The third was ALL Cornell.

Colgate comes back to tie Clarkson.

Notre Dame getting their shit handed to them by Ohio State.

Galajda now has 5 shut outs in his last 8 games.

He also kept talking about a Penn State wrestling match.

I enjoyed his commentary at the buzzer: “and Cornell wins a very Cornell-like 1-0 game”

too many ice is a pretty loosely called penalty most of the time.. really if he puck isnt close and the extra guys arent involved in a play directly they rarely call it,

Agree, every time you change lines you have too many. I thought the first one was a mandatory call. The second however, was more of a question. I’d like to see it again, but I think it was called because of how far onto the ice the new player was before the other got off. I didn’t think either were involved in the play.

Galajda looked unphased on Ryan Lough's breakaway. It's on the highlight video on the ECAC website. Galajda now leads the nation in GAA (1.47) and shutouts (8).

And his shutout streak is now back to 158:15 if my math is right.

Unless I'm mistaken, if the puck isn't close and the extra guys aren't involved in a play directly, it's not a Too Many Men on the Ice infraction.

There in is the problem of interpretation. The puck can even be close and if a player elects not to touch it, it may not be called. I've seen many times when a player lets a puck go by and doesn't touch it, because they're in a line change. But what constitutes "involved" is obviously open to interpretation.

From what I remember on the second call last night, neither player was involved with the puck, but the player coming on was well toward mid ice before the player coming off got to the bench.

Following up on someone else's comment a while ago, in 2018, Cornell has only allowed one goal in the six games that Cairns has played.

Cairns has played in seven games. In the first game, Niagara scored four goals, two of which he was directly responsible for. In the remaining six games, Cornell has allowed only one goal; Cairns has spent most of those games watching from the bench, playing maybe one or two shifts a period.

While it’s true that he has not played a full contingent of shifts, I think he is playing a lot better of late. Particularly at SLU he seemed to be playing more and with more confidence. Certainly not the same mistakes that he was making earlier. Hopefully it means he’s getting more attuned to the college game, we need him.

Most of the time, the use of stats is highly selective - especially in sports, and especially with regards to in-season streaks.

Regarding Cairns on ice time, or on ice time for any player, I wish player hockey statistics were normalized to adjust for total # of shifts and actual time on the ice. It is much easier to be a points producer when you are placing 16 to 20 minutes per game versus six or seven. Not to mention intangibles such as the ability to get into a better rhythm, etc. Given the variance in on-ice time from player to player, this would give me a better sense of player contributions.

Better players are in tougher situations. Better d'men might have decreased performance, just because of situations. Same for F/O men. Top offensive forwards might not be put in defensive situations.

I'm fine with better players getting more ice time - but when it comes to, say, scoring, that should be normalized against actual playing time. I think the place where this really comes into play is scoring, where points per game is a commonly used metric. True, better players get more ice time - so I would then assume that the amount of points they score per minute played would be higher than a 4th liner, on a per minutes played basis.

yeah but it's a chicken-egg thing. sure, a 4th liner gets fewer PPG because they have fewer minutes but it's unlikely that they're scoring more PPM - that's how they ended up on the 4th line.

Only way to know for sure is to do the math. Stranger things have been revealed when doing a large data set analysis.

On the other hand, normalizing TOI for Damian Rocke would make for some very interesting statistics. 15 PIM for 1 minute of playing time = 900 PIM per game.

How about shutouts per games played. Is Stewart still leading? I won't do the math!

If you adjust by Mins, then Galajda has 1267 Mins = 21.12 Game-equivalents (GE), so his shutouts ratio is .38. Stewart's 554 Mins give him 9.23 GE for a shutout ratio of .33 (but, SSS).

Other Cornell goalies:

.38 Galajda 8 SO 21.12 GE
.24 LeNeveu 11 SO 46.47 GE
.18 Kennedy 10 SO 56.35 GE
.17 McKee 18 SO 103.22 GE
.17 Scrivens 19 SO 111.83 GE
.16 Dryden 13 SO 80.73 GE 
.12 Gillam 11 SO 92.93 GE
.08 Iles 9 SO 119.00 GE

The other way of putting this is if Galajda kept his pace then when he equaled Scrivens' GE he would have 42 shutouts.

Trotsky
On the other hand, normalizing TOI for Damian Rocke would make for some very interesting statistics. 15 PIM for 1 minute of playing time = 900 PIM per game.

Absurd example helps prove the point that there's room for more meaningful stats especially if you include a minimum floor of minutes played. If a Pine Line / FUGOWI player (now called the Energy Line) gets one-third the minutes of Angello's line, then their goals, PIM, assists could be scaled up to, say, points/assists/shots/PIM per 20 minutes ice time which would roughly equate to what a first-line player gets.

Nice. A lot harder if you had to run over to Upson Hall with a new set of batch cards for processing. Now you just gotta say, Alexa, recalculate Galajda's stats. Assuming she parses it right. I just told the car, except Siri leaned in, to "tune to S X M one-twenty-four," and Siri heard the S-X part too well. She told me, "I'm not going to do that."

Stewart's GAA (1.01) and SV% (0.956) both would lead the NCAA by a large margin (and be all-time single-season records). Given that for his stats to "count" in the NCAA category leaders he would need to play in 33% of the team's minutes. He's currently at 15.7%. If Stewart plays the remainder of the regular season, he gets up to 27.3% In order to get to the 33% point, he would have to play up to three games in the playoffs without throwing up a stinker. (THIS IS JUST A MATH EXERCISE I WAS PONDERING, PEOPLE.)

Now on the more real side of things, Galajda currently owns the #7 best GAA season in NCAA history.

Upson Hall? How about driving out to the airport?

and this is where the vagueness of the changing rule comes into play.. "at the bench" is that touching the board? within 3=5=10ft? clearly going off the ice?

you could clean up the rule. player must be going over the boards or thru the door before replacement can touch the ice. Would that really change much except to make it more obvious when its a penalty?

Its almost like the baseball "in the vicinity rule" at 2nd base.

If you made it touching the boards or something like that, it would make changing on the fly that much more difficult. I'm sure there would be more odd-man rushes or at least more scoring.

wouldnt that be a good thing?

"ECAC Hockey announced Monday that St. Lawrence sophomore forward Carson Gicewicz has been assessed a one-game suspension as the result of his actions in the Cornell-St. Lawrence game from Saturday, Feb. 10.

"The league action was taken after review of an incident that occurred at the 15:04 mark of the third period in the Saints-Big Red game where Gicewicz was assessed a major penalty for butt-ending and a game misconduct penalty.

Gicewicz is not eligible to play in St. Lawrence’s next game on Friday, Feb. 16, when the Saints travel to Harvard."
