Re: the next question: what to do in Albany? - 19 years ago
It's been a few years, but we enjoyed the NYS Museum, mentioned elsewhere. When we lived just to the west, we used to enjoy hiking and crosscountry skiing at John Boyd Thatcher State Park to the west. That's weather-dependent, of course.by David Harding - Hockey

David Harding Wrote: A-19 Wrote: what's the large spike at 169? our first game this year or something? Yes, against McGill. No, I was fooled by the coincidence that there were 26 minutes of penalties in the McGill game. In Age's numbering 169 is the BC game which had 26 minor penalties (plus one major and one game for a total of 67 minutes).by David Harding - Hockey
Re: Tighter officiating a qualified failure? - 19 years ago
Nice graph: Officiating crackdown appears not to have happened. Let's hope someone in the NCAA hockey committee is doing this for all games for all teams and then crosstabbing by league, team, penalty type, conference vs. non, perecentage of the way into season (vs. games into the season since some play fewer than others), penalties by ice surface size, etcetera. And then crosstab it again againby David Harding - Hockey

We DirecTV for the TV and cable for the internet. The local channel on cable that I would be interested in is the one that broadcasts city council meetings and other very local content. With a population of 13,000 some, that's just not going to make it on the satellite.by David Harding - Hockey

Re: This Week's Column Up - 19 years ago
A fine artice! Just for the sake of quibbling, The whole idea behind the best-of-seven series in professional sports is that teams are inevitably going to have bad games so they should not be fatally penalized when they do occur. I always thought that the main idea of a multi-game playoff was to make more money for the owners.by David Harding - Hockey

Oh, I certainly agree that it's generally easier to pose a question than answer it, sports or otherwise.

Some had a better understanding of a controlled experiment than others. I think that iby David Harding - Hockey
