Re: Who deserves 2023 D1 championship - 1 year ago
RichH Trotsky Either there is no "deserves," or the team that wins deserves it. Divine Mandate. This. “Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.” I read it as "who do you want to win it". Of course, the only games that have gone the way I wanted this year were Denver-Cornell and BU-Western Michigan, so...by jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: 2023 Frozen Four - 1 year ago
upprdeck so looking at the schedule.. If you have espn on cable/youtube/etc you can watch the stream as well as on the cable you pay for If you pay for ESPN+ you can watch the stream Both require you pay for something. You can buy ESPN+ standalone without buying cable last I knew. Right, I have espn+ as part of the Disney+ bundle, and I've used it to watch assorted college hockey gamby jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: 2023 Frozen Four - 1 year ago
upprdeck espn+ is stand alone subscription as it is as long as you pay for it. This was not true last year, or at least the games were only available on the ESPN channels and not espn+. (I was able to watch about 30 minutes of the 2022 regionals before they told me my trial was over.)by jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: 2023 Frozen Four - 1 year ago
The espn+ schedule seems to indicate it will be available to subscribers without an additional cable subscription. (Knock on wood.)by jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - 1 year ago
Regionals results by conference: Big T*n: 6-2 (2 left alive) ECAC: 3-3 (1 left) Hockey East:2-1 (1 left) NCHC: 1-3 CCHA: 0-2 Atlantic H: 0-1 Granted, our numbers are padded by Quinnipiac, but the ECAC ended up with a pretty respectable regionals performance, notwithstanding the Friday Night Massacre.by jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - 1 year ago
Trotsky I have a confession to make. While we were in, I was rooting hard for the rest of the ECAC to advance. Now that we are out, my interest in the rest of the tournament has dropped to exactly zero. I still hope Q advances and wins, but I don't care. If the meteor fragments in the atmosphere, can it hit Bridgeport and Allentown?by jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - 1 year ago
So have they totally abandoned the West/Midwest/East/Northeast Regional names? Naming the regionals after the cities they're held in seems so basketball.by jtwcornell91 - Hockey
Re: 2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals - 1 year ago
Trotsky I learned the horrible truth when I was listening to Harvard play the 1989 final against Minnesota right in the heart of their long winning streak against us, and I realize to my horror I was balls out rooting for Harvard out of ECAC solidarity. The only school I even remotely waiver on is Q because they're conference frauds, but I still pragmatically want to see ECAC teams advance, atby jtwcornell91 - Hockey

shafer BearLover underskill Given the way the PP looked I’d rather take the penalty and try to end the game at 3-0 Definitely take the penalty shot there. DeSantis is one of the most skilled players on the team. It wasn’t unreasonable to go for it given DeSantis’s skills in that spot. I just thought that Chrona would be tough to beat and it was getting to be time to use the clock to our advantaby jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Re: 2018 ECAC Permutations - 1 year ago
Swampy abmarks Swampy Some things I'd want to add to the discussion: 2. Exactly how does variance play out in these methods. If Team A plays Team B, does the P = 1.0? Suppose Team A has P = 0.6, and Team B has 0.4, but Team A is erratic (I'm looking at you Clarkson), while Team B is not. Does A's greater variance show up in the prediction? Let's say we know that in the long run, A beatsby jtwcornell91 - Hockey

Dafatone andyw2100 djk26 Ugh--so this weekend is the double torture of losing to Harvard--and then having to root for them in the next game. Root for them to tie us in number of ECAC titles? Sorry-can't do it. I'll be there rooting for Colgate and hoping that BU or Saint Cloud get it done. BU starts a half hour earlier. Hopefully they can put up a half dozen in the first and make rooting aby jtwcornell91 - Hockey

margolism Gee, when I said tickets go on sale Monday it was meant to be a joke. The online ticketing is still not functioning even though they said tickets would go on sale at 7am.

Re: 3x3 OT proven silly - 1 year ago
Another piece of evidence: Going into the last day of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga season yesterday, Frankfurt was two points ahead of Berlin for the last playoff spot. The two were playing simultaneously versus different opponents, and when both games went into overtime, Frankfurt clinched the playoffs, since they were guaranteed one point and Berlin could get no more than two.

Re: Cornell admissions - 1 year ago
I seem to recall that application fee was also a deterrent to applying to more schools than one really wanted to attend. And also the practicalities of visiting all of them, but I guess kids can skip that if they're only applying for sport.by jtwcornell91 - John Spencer Is Dead
