Re: Cornell Hockey Gear (incl. 2010 ECAC Championship) on Clearance - 12 years ago
RichH Wow, dude. My point was simply that the "top dogs" nationally are no longer unbeatable juggernauts, illustrated by the coach of the #2 overall seed saying that they aren't that good. How you read that into my suggesting that the ECAC is back as a "Big 4" conference, I'll never understand, but hey when you have an axe to grind, go after anything that looks like a stone.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Cornell Hockey Gear (incl. 2010 ECAC Championship) on Clearance - 12 years ago
Beeeej Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. And I'm saying we're talking about different things. Saying that tournament games seem to be up for grabs more than they used to, and that no result would be that surprising, isn't the same as suggesting that there's genuine parity in the game. Ok, IAWYASYN.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Cornell Hockey Gear (incl. 2010 ECAC Championship) on Clearance - 12 years ago
Beeeej Kyle Rose RichH It used to be a pretty safe bet that the National Champion was going to come from a pool of 3-4 teams that dominated the entire season. I feel that era is gone...the tournament wins by Holy Cross and Air Force signaled it, and it's been hammered home by the FF appearances by Bemidji and RIT. It's a pretty wide-open field this year.

Re: Cornell Hockey Gear (incl. 2010 ECAC Championship) on Clearance - 12 years ago
RichH Beeeej jtn27 I want Union to win this weekend, but only if Cornell does too. Ideally, I would like to see a Cornell-Union rematch in the Frozen Four (however, I don't see either team making it to the Frozen Four). I think Union's actually got a halfway decent shot at it. And quite frankly, I didn't see the 2006 Cornell team making it past the first round, but they did, and then took thby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Cornell Hockey Gear (incl. 2010 ECAC Championship) on Clearance - 12 years ago
Beeeej It's not necessarily that we hate Union just for being Union - though there is an element of that, given that they often seemed to have our number even in years when we were good and they were trying to find the cellar door. I think it's more that, this year, Union fans are acting either like they've been great all along, or like they expect to occupy the Cleary and Whitelaw Cups permanenby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Cornell Hockey Gear (incl. 2010 ECAC Championship) on Clearance - 12 years ago
Am I the only one who doesn't get the Union hate? I'm glad to see a former ECAC cellar dweller have some success: a few more schools and the ECAC might emerge from the also-rans of D1 hockey. I hope their success continues, though of course not at Cornell's expense.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: NCAA Regional Comprehensive TV Schedule - 12 years ago
billhoward On a PC screen, it looks about as good as standard-def TV. It looks way sharper to my eyes on a high-def monitor than SDTV. You're not watching on one of those old Compaq gas plasma laptops, are you?by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: NCAA Regional Comprehensive TV Schedule - 12 years ago
KeithK Anybody tried streaming ESPN content via ESPN3 (or whatever they're calling it now?) According to their website I should have free access as a result of my internet provider. Wondering what the stream quality might be. I've watched ESPN3 many times: the quality is top-notch as internet streaming goes as long as you have enough bandwidth.by Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: Harvard 6 Cornell 1 ECAC post-game - attendance - 12 years ago
Aaron M. Griffin The Rancor What they need to do is play in a smaller rink, so that they fill it up and create a championship environment. I'm sure there are plenty of worthy 6-8000 arenas (like Lake Placid or Syracuse) available. 10,000 + is just too big for the league right now. (edit: Seems like the Proletariat wants Bridgeport. I support that) If a group of current students and alumni ofby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Harvard 6 Cornell 1 ECAC post-game & site critique - 12 years ago
KeithK Jim Hyla Kyle Rose I think Bridgeport is worth a try: it's roughly two hours further from Potsdam and Ithaca than Albany, which is unfortunate, but still a hell of a lot closer and cheaper than AC. Just make it one year at first instead of three in case it doesn't work out.It's not really "a hell of a lot closer" than AC. They're both 5 hours, give or take. Maybe 30 min closer.

Re: Harvard 6 Cornell 1 ECAC post-game - attendance - 12 years ago
Aaron M. Griffin Ironic from someone who argues on most media threads that college hockey is a niche sport that can hope for little more than coverage on a reliable and high-quality internet stream. I'm not going to go through your post and refute things point-by-point. I'll just say (a) that there is general knowledge in the northeast, even among casual hockey fans, that BU and BC are good at hoby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Harvard 6 Cornell 1 ECAC post-game - attendance - 12 years ago
RichH Well, here's a crack at a crackpot theory. Occam's Razor tells me you are overthinking this. Performance is the much simpler explanation. Going strictly on the number of teams (i.e., assuming there is as much parity as Coach Schafer claims), you would expect an ECAC Frozen Four appearance 4 out of every 5 years and a championship 1 out of every 5 years. Of course, the distribution won'tby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Harvard 6 Cornell 1 ECAC post-game (post-mortem?) - 12 years ago
css228Totally in favor of the last 4 having no shot at it. If you're bad enough to be 9-12 you really don't deserve a shot at going to the national tourney. s/4/8/ IMO: if you can't finish the RS in the top third of the league, you should stay home.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Harvard 6 Cornell 1 ECAC post-game - attendance - 12 years ago
Trotsky Kyle RoseI know lots of people with no Hockey East association who go to the HE tournamentI wonder how much of that is the Boston area connection, where college hockey is prominent and lots of fans have six degrees of separation connections via having grown up with players, coaches, etc. That doesn't seem to help Harvard or Northeastern.

Re: Harvard 6 Cornell 1 ECAC post-game - attendance - 12 years ago
Scersk '97 Indeed, my only quibble with Bill's post is that the biggest draw in Albany is indubitably the Clarkson, Cornell, RPI, and Union foursome, preferably with Cornell and Clarkson coming in as #1 and #2 so that fans have a bit more time to consider making the trip. The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that what is really needed is more success at a national level soby Kyle Rose - Hockey

Dafatone Kyle Rose dbilmeswhen it showed us with 5 shots on goal and Harvard with 4 goals. That's not a winning combination! I am reminded of the Wayne Gretzky quote, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
