Re: Lynah Documentary This Weekend - 5 years ago
Beeeej Okay, now I REALLY hope the weather forecast improves. We're planning to head up this weekend, but we won't if the expected snow is likely to cause a problem getting back to Brooklyn. Forecast is trending warmer. Mostly rain.by KenP - Hockey

Thanks for the parking advice. How are the concessions from a price and heartburn perspective? I'm assuming we cannot bring food in with us?by KenP - Hockey
Visiting Lynah guide - 5 years ago
I’m planning my first visit to Lynah in over 20 years. Dartmouth and maybe Sucks. Looking for advice to plan the trip. Where to park and when to get there? Best sections for seating? Easy food choices? (I’ll be with my daughter and niece so no bars) What cheers are most common nowadays? Any other thoughts for a nice weekend visit? Thanks for any suggestions. I’ll probably havby KenP - Hockey
Re: 3 straight weekends - 5 years ago
So just curious... small sample size and all.... what is their record when having to fight off one or more major penalties?by KenP - Hockey
Re: 3 straight weekends - 5 years ago
osorojo I suspect it's easier to motivate a team with a mediocre ranking to focus on a second weekend game after winning the first than it is to motivate a top-ranked team to focus on a second weekend game after winning the first - especially if the first (victory) game was against a high ranked opponent. I call BS there. A highly successful team will treat each weekend as a tournament. Win botby KenP - Hockey
Re: Pairwise tweak idea - 5 years ago
Again, let's preface the discussion that PWR is going to stay. We have a system that is very similar to RPI. By definition the other comparisons exist to address "intangibles" which may not show up in RPI alone. Common Opponents - the net result of this comparison is to adjust for non-conference play. We beat Michigan State therefore we have a let up against the rest of the Big 10by KenP - Hockey
Re: Pairwise tweak idea - 5 years ago
I’m thinking of this specific type of situation with Cornell-Dartmouth. David beats Goliath twice. RPI & CoP will both go to Goliath. Goliath wins comparison.by KenP - Hockey
Pairwise tweak idea - 5 years ago
I will preface this post by saying I fully endorse KRACH as a better system. Right now the PWR system is so heavy weighted on adjusted-RPI. Therefore the goal of considering CoP and H2H comparisons is to “overcome” that bias. Here’s the concern. For example what if Dartmouth wins the second game against us in a few weeks? The PWR will be tied 2-2 and the stronger RPI team still wins. In factby KenP - Hockey

Re: IVY League standings - 5 years ago
Jim Hyla Cop at Lynah Just looked up the IVY league hockey standings and noticed that they are awarding 3 pts for a victory and 1 point for a tie. Have they always done this as opposed to the traditional 2 pts for a win and 1 pt for a tie ? Dartmouth 5-1 0.833 15 Harvard 4-1-1 0.750 13 Cornell 4-1 0.800 12 Brown 1-4 0.200 3 Yale 1-4 0.200 3 Princeton 0-4-1by KenP - Hockey
Re: Fortress Invitational - 5 years ago
How best to follow the game if I do not want to pay for Flo? Is anyone going to be on slack-chat tonight?by KenP - Hockey
Re: Fortress Invitational - 5 years ago
Jim Hyla I can't find much from the schools, their papers, or the LV papers. CBR posts: Ohio State starts with: and then posts: Providence Friars hasn't yet posted anything. Nor yet from West Point. Nothing from the college newspapers. Nothing yet from the Sun. The OSU Lantern has nothing. Providence College paper The Cowl has very little on their hockey team at all.by KenP - Hockey

Re: Polls 2019-20 - 5 years ago
Cornell was taken out of the mix because our KRACH cannot be calculated. What does that mean for teams that played us? I assume those games not included in their KRACH/SOS calculation... which artificially would lower their SOS... which in turn lowers our apparent SOS. My guess is we will see an uptick in both (us and opponent) SOS if/when Cornell has a non-infinite rating.by KenP - Hockey
Re: Opponent News 19-20 - 5 years ago
Swampy BC 4 / Harvard 2. Harvard is no longer undefeated. I remember hearing the Harvard goalie left the last game with what looked like a groin injury. Any updates on him? Did that impact the BC game?by KenP - Hockey
Re: Polls 2019-20 - 5 years ago
Swampy Beeeej Trotsky If I was Harvard I'd be pretty pissed off. So would I, but it wouldn't have anything to do with the USCHO poll. They've been steadily moving up in the poll for weeks and they've barely played anybody good. In a way it's Harvard's own fault. So far, all 6 of its games have been ECAC. Q (2-3-1, 6-6-1) is the highest-ranked team it's played. Compare this to Clarkson, whiby KenP - Hockey
Re: 2019-11-15: Cornell 4 Clarkson 2 - 5 years ago
Cornell was behind in faceoffs won after first period but ended up winning 29 of 52 for the game. I realize not as big a stat as in lax but seemed to help with momentum in the 2nd ... and another promising sign.by KenP - Hockey

Re: ESPN+ - 5 years ago
Al DeFlorio ugarte You are missing the point of the problem that exclusivity brings. I can even understand why ESPN+ would preclude WHCU from streaming the audio, but to (a) not permit a local radio broadcast and (b) not have a less-data-intensive audio feed of the ESPN stream sucks. On a cruise ship with slow internet, espn+ won't even load. Streamed whcu did. SOL.Can anyone say "First Woby KenP - Hockey

Re: Opponent News 19-20 - 5 years ago
Trotsky So, I was beginning to write up my TBRW Predictions for 2019-20 and in doing the Returning Awardees I noticed that every one of the 9 ECAC Awardees (All-ECAC, POTY, ROTY) has either graduated or signed except for Morgan Barron, Harvard ROTY D Casey Dornbach, and Quinnipiac All-ECAC D Chase Priskie. Just to make sure, I googled Priskie. He signed yesterday. are you sure he didn’t gby KenP - Hockey
