Re: Things Really Heating Up (NHL) - 19 years ago
Would somebody explain linkage, briefly, for those of us who have been out of the loop on this?by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Cornell gets slapped with baby powder by Steve Schlanger - 19 years ago
Shrug. I worried a lot more about western bias when the selection process was subjective. Now, it doesn't hurt, and if it helps Cornell sneak up on somebody, fine and dandy.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Quest for #1 seed - 19 years ago
I think we want to line up opposite BC. i.e., 1:8, 2:7, 3:6, 4:5. That would put us east against a team we have seen and will not be intimidated by. We know we will not be getting Harvard in the Sweet 16 game, so that leaves somebody out of {BU, UNH, NoDak}. Any of those match-ups would be a great game.by Trotsky - Hockey

Why is there a picture of Nickerson on davidmckee.com?by Trotsky - Hockey

Re: USCHO on the Beanpot Final - 19 years ago
And when it's a village of one, the idiot is easier to find. TBRW isn't even a village. I'm a Rotten Borough Idiot. And as such, I'm amazed at how many little and big errors I make, having no deadlines and having been a professional editor for... ahem... longer than at least one member of the team has been alive. The troubles may lie in my sobriety and/or marital status. Error happens. Tby Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Hobey Voting - 19 years ago
Anybody else find it suspicious that the bottom tier of the voting has virtually identical tallies? I think there may be an "x" factor added across the board each day to make the numbers look a little fatter.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Beanpaht (pawt) - 19 years ago
According to this: amazingly, no. Every final in Beanpot history has involved either BU, BC, or both.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Rumors of a new NHL deal - 19 years ago
Source? On the Beanpot 'cast they announced the season would be cancelled officially tomorrow. Not that they know anything more than we do.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: [OT] Beanpot consolation, final - 19 years ago
Final on; BU pair pretty good (and far better than Harvard pair).by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: [OT] Beanpot consolation, final - 19 years ago
Anybody have the BU feed for the final? (I don't suppose it's on ESPN? I mean, not when they could put celebrity poker on...)by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: [OT] Beanpot consolation, final - 19 years ago
Shots in the second period, 9 minutes in, 15-0 BC!by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: [OT] Beanpot consolation, final - 19 years ago
BC ppg, 1-0. During the intermission, a Harvard announcer referred to them as "BCU."by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: [OT] Beanpot consolation, final - 19 years ago
For the thousandth time, I am reminded by how much I hate how good Harvard's fight song is.by Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Lynah remodel - keeping up with the Joneses - 19 years ago
And Lynah exceeds, by a huge margin, any future facility in intimacy, tradition, etc. Lacking the desire to replace things just for the hell of it, I have never been able to understand the drive to replace Lynah. It's ideal. Leave it alone.by Trotsky - Hockey

Re: PWR Rank vs. KRACH Rank - 19 years ago
Ken '70 Wrote: Why model reality when it's there to see in the first place? This is pithy and it captures the absurdity of a lot of abstruse analysis, but I don't think it applies here. PWR and RPI are not models of reality, like scientific theories. They are not explanatory nor, even when applied correctly, predictive. They are standings for teams which don't play each other in a balancedby Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Cornell at Yale Post Game Thread - 19 years ago
UNO is a TUC. A UNO win over Michigan tonight would flip the comparison back to Cornell (barring effects of other games).by Trotsky - Hockey

Meanwhile, Cornell's below Michigan despite an RPI lead, because of TUC:by Trotsky - Hockey
