That's right. The legendary NY Rangers goalie is now a Yale undergrad. Fortunatly his NCAA eligibilty has expired. 
He does say he's planning to help Yale's goalies out a little, but that his classes and family takes higher priority for him. Full article at

Oh boy. I just had a horrible horrible thought. What if Tim Taylor retires in 3 years and Yale hires recently minted Calhoun alumnus Mike Richter as the new head coach?

What makes you think Mike Richter will be such a great coach? In my opinion, Tim Taylor it the best X's and O's coach in the ECAC and very possibly the best in the NCAA. When he retires, whoever Yale gets to replace him will likely be a downgrade at least for the short term.

Yeah yeah, everyone keeps saying it, but where are the banners? I don't care if you're a great guy, if the players love you, or how much respect you have. Ultimately, your success is measured by championships, and so far, Tim and I are neck-and-neck in that category.

I understand what you're saying, but in college hockey there is coaching and there is recruiting. As far as coaching is concerned (X's and O's), I praise Taylor. I think the lack of success of the program is attributed to recruiting. Yale always has 4 or 5 very good players and solid cores, but their depth has always been an issue in my opinion.

The other question is preparing teams for the "big games."
Tim's teams seem to consistently underachieve in the post-season. For example, Yale has lost four of the last five ECAC tournament series (or single games as in 1992) played at Ingalls, and the one win was in 1998 as #1 seed playing #10 SLU. And even that win required a number of last second Ray Giroux miracles to avoid going out in two games. Scores were 3-3, 3-3, 4-1.

I am far from being a Tim Taylor fan, but in terms of banners, he is a bit ahead of you, what with one regular-season crown (1998) and at least three Ivy titles.
I know, I know, you were talking about ECAC tournament championships, the only ones that matter. And yes, it is a rather large hole in the Taylor resume that he's never even had a team play for an ECAC tourney title, much less win one.

I guess SLU was a pretty good tenth place team

The only time ever the first two games of a 3-point series were tied. It also allowed Yale to go 1-2-2 in the playoffs that season. That was a pretty crazy playoff year, when we won at RPI in three games and then lost to Princeton (who went on to with the ECACs) in the first ever 4/5 play-in game.

[Q] Form SI:
Although Richter enjoys reading books like A Sound County Almanac and The Ecology of Commerce to get prepared for his classes, there's still a part of him that wants to be playing and struggling alongside his former teammates as they figure out when they will play again.[/Q]
I guess Arash Markazi didn't enjoy reading the "...Almanac"!
But then again I think the only thing I remember is the title.
