Re: Penalty Killing - 22 years ago
Because it's bad math. The math isn't wrong in one sense: RPI has a higher percentage of good outcomes per special teams opportunity than we do. The statistic is deceptive because they are given "credit" for the extra penalty kills that they get because they are a man down more often than we are, (though they only kill 50% of those "extra" penalties) and it outweighs (onby ugarte - Hockey
Re: Letter to Harvard Coach - 22 years ago
If the 2005 Hobey Baker winner is in section K with his parents, will what you say or what you do cause them to not want to come to Cornell? If the answer is yes, please refrain, for the good of Cornell hockey. (I get to use that one right away!) That is a bit over the top. There are a lot of reasons crowded arenas should not scream out "@!#$" in unison. Mostly, it is just evidencby ugarte - Hockey

Re: 2/4/02 Polls - 22 years ago
I can't figure out why the usatoday website doesn't have all of the first place votes, but the total votes work out to 19 voters voting for places 1 -15, so the chart above is probably correct. (19 voters *(15+14+13+12 . . .) = 2280, which is what you get if you add all of the weighted votes.)by ugarte - Hockey

I was one of the first half dozen or so on the field after the gun sounded on the 1990 game against Penn. And was overtaken by the crowd by roughly the 10 yard line (or was it the 3? There is a reason why I watched instead of played). If you only mby ugarte - Hockey
Re: 2/4/02 Polls - 22 years ago
I think that whoever voted Cornell #1 was just looking at the standings, and figured that any first place team with a winning streak deserves a parenthetical after their vote total. I (and probably all of you) don't think our out of conference performance warrants it. I am always suspicious of the polls because it always seems pretty clear that the voters have a very regional focus (not bias, pby ugarte - Hockey
Re: recruits - 22 years ago
If he already coming to Cornell, I think he has his college application essay problems taken care of. He has already impressed the one person he needed to impress. (Please don't think I am implying that he is getting into Cornell on hockey alone. He sounds like a great kid, and I am happy that he has chosen to play at Cornell. I doubt that we were his only option.)by ugarte - Hockey
Re: Letter to Harvard Coach - 22 years ago
Final note to Mike: If you are going to write a sanctimonious letter to a man who has accomplished so much, and impugn his intelligence to boot, I have a bit of advice. 1. Choose passive voice selectively. It is a worthwhile device, and derided unfairly, but please please please grab a copy of Strunk & White and at least learn the form before you depart from it. 2.

Re: Cornell 4, Harvard 2 - 22 years ago
Tom said the Brown men only beat ranked teams, so I don't think he was referring to the women. (Ed. note: After reading Tom's 2/3 post, I should probably be less snotty when I correct someone (good luck making that stick). I misread the point he was making.)by ugarte - Hockey

Re: Clarkson Sucks Too - 22 years ago
I love winning the tournament. And I love the thrill of getting an NCAA bid. As Neil Shapiro points out, however, I have never had the thrill of seeing Cornell win a regular season title (I've never even seen a basketball title - I was a senior in HS in 1988) - and I am really hoping that this is the year. I think that an RS title would be good enough to get to the NCAA's (using as "I thby ugarte - Hockey
Re: Uncle Ezra on Fish - 22 years ago
What a wimpy answer. No effort to distinguish between tossing the fish before the game and tossing the fish after a goal / at players. They won't (can't? shouldn't?) penalize the Red for an early fish toss, just like they don't penalize the Red for the newspaper toss.by ugarte - Hockey
