Re: USA vs. Canada Gold Medal Game (SPOILERS) - 22 years ago
I thought the same thing, Tom, on the Lemieux "miss." Otherwise, he'd have had to shoot it sideways. Nice to see Joe and his little guy getting the gold medal together.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Whining, part I - 22 years ago
From the Round Table (posted in two different threads in case someone might miss it--as RichS obviously did): "I was at the game last night and the referring was absolutly terrible....Cook from Cornell should have been called about 6 different times for holding or high sticking, but he was never called. Also, I heard that they DQ's to O'F and Poaspt were going to be reviewed by the ECAC comby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Wishful thinking, John. We'll hear more than we need to, I'm afraid to say. Read the finest in whining over on the Round Table. Pass the gruyere.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Cornell VS Clarkson , Saturday Feb 23rd - 22 years ago
I think Poapst was already DQ'd for a similar late game misbehavior--against Princeton maybe. Grady referred to him as "one of the dirtier players in the ECAC." Scuderi is apparently a real gem, too.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: CHAMPIONS! - 22 years ago
And Cornell has won four out of five as top seed (but long ago); Clarkson, three out of ten, for comparison. Except for the 1-3 PIG-avoidance advantage over 4-5 (barring upsets), and the 1-5 home ice advantage over 6-10, the seedings don't mean much--especially with the balance from 2 through 11 this year. I just hope the "RS title" business hasn't taken the team's usual focus off theby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

When your Daddy scores the game-winner for Cornell in the last minute of an ECAC championship game against Clarkson, you'll always have a Cornell connection.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Canada-Belarus (SPOILER) - 22 years ago
Joe was on the ice for at least one of the goals and was mentioned for his faceoff prowess.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Wow!!!!!!! - 22 years ago
Of course not. Why would you think that? Simply weigh the long program twice as much in accumulating total points from the two programs. Just get rid of ordinals. What makes no sense is having the outcome depend on whether Slutskaya finished between Hughes and Kwan in the long program (Hughes wins) as opposed to finishing below both (Kwan wins). What does that have to do with the relativeby Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Wow!!!!!!! - 22 years ago
Yep, this would be real progress, but one of the keys is getting rid of the ordinals. Last night, if all the skaters besides Hughes had crawled around the ice on all fours for four minutes, and if Kwan had been judged to have crawled the best by the majority of the judges, she would still have won the gold medal based on ordinals (i.e., she would have finished second in the long program and endeby Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Wow!!!!!!! - 22 years ago
Well, if this quote from USA Today is correct, one Russian thinks so. "But Russian Olympic Committee president Leonid Tygachev said of the women's figure skating: "I think the result is right.""by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Wow!!!!!!! - 22 years ago
One of the bonehead judges had Sarah fourth in the long program. Seems to me the whole scoring system needs an overhaul. Simply put, to have the Hughes/Kwan relative placing depend on how well or poorly Slutskaya skated makes no sense whatsoever. (Suppose she did a triple axel into the boards and fractured her coccyx--should Kwan then get the gold instead of Hughes?) They oughta add up scoreby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: More exposure - 22 years ago
Dunno if he's related, but he's the same guy who wrote the preseason SI article that some here couldn't find in their issue. If you recall, he mentioned Cornell and Harvard in the outlook for the ECAC, thereby pissing off some from other unmentioned schools...by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
