(25X24x23)/(3x2x1)=2300 combinations of three games over all. (4x3x2)/(3x2x1)=4 combinations of losses. So, the chance of seeing three losses is 4/2300 or 1/575.by David Harding - Hockey
Re: poor grades? - 21 years ago
The great physicist P.A.M. Dirac wrote a classic text on quantum mechanics. I'm told that his class lectures consisted of his reading from that book. Students would complain now and then, but his response was that he had put years of effort into refining the exposition of the subject in the book. To give them anything else would be to give them a second rate product.by David Harding - Hockey

How about Pete Gogolak? First to effectively kick a football soccer style at the college and pro levels. First to jump from the AFL to the NHL, setting off the bidding war that led the merger of the two leagues.by David Harding - Hockey

If Janet Reno had attended hockey games while she was an undergraduate, it wouldn't have been to get face time. The first year in Lynah would have been her sophomore year: 3-7-1. Then 4-16-1. Then 2-19.by David Harding - Hockey

The Vermont announcer says he has seen Harvard play many times this season, and he has to pick Cornell next weekend. He can't understand how Cornell could have lost to Colgate last week... He complains about not being able to hear the announcer, blaming the acoustics in The Lynah Rink. "Maybe it's because of the full house tonight."by David Harding - Hockey

Re: ECAC RS Games at Lynah, by Year - 21 years ago
Pushing my luck here.... Can anyone fill a gap in my memory? What I remember is a holday tournament in the early 1960's with Laing Kennedy in goal. I can't remember whether I watched it in person or listened on WHCU. Looking at the complete listing of games it must have been '60-'61 in Ithaca where they lost games 3-4, 1-2, and 2-5, or the '62-'63 ECAC Holiday Tournament in NY, where they losby David Harding - Hockey

Re: New Recruit - Evan Salmela - 21 years ago
So, prompted by the posts, we went to see Evan and the Freeze play Saturday night against the Springfield Spirits. I haven't watched much hockey for years, so I'm not a really good judge of talent, but Evan looked pretty respectable to me. He didn't come off as the enforcer. He did take some good slap shots and wrist shots. He had an assist on a very pretty play. From just beyond his ownby David Harding - Hockey
