Re: Question about Chris Higgins - 22 years ago
Here's another of his fine, positive postings about Cornell, Rich Hovorka. Ain't it great?by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Tiresome baloney - 22 years ago
Note no mention whatsoever that this shirt was specially made for the wonderful, squeaky-clean Clarkson band to wear. Cornell is foul; Clarkson is perfect. Jackass extraordinaire. Even JTW is catching on to you now, Richie-boy!by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Fish poll - 22 years ago
How is it the fish poll results keep increasing while the only poll I get to see has to do with a crotchety fart?by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Thanks, Charles. Here's another vote for the wraps.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

"Statistical weirdness" - 22 years ago
The explanation is that you're literally adding apples with oranges in coming up with a total percentage. Even the worst penalty-killing team will have a much higher percentage of success killing penalties than the best power-play team will have scoring on a penalty. So, if a team has more PK opportunities than PP opportunities (e.g., RPI), it will inflate the total percentage, especially if thby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

IIRC, there were 19 first place votes last week, as well.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: 1967 All Tournament Teams - 22 years ago
I'm pretty sure Rich is right on all counts. There's a picture of the all-tournament team in Bob Kane's book "Good Sports." BTW, Quinn doesn't look very happy about it.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: goalies - 22 years ago
Harvard won a national championship alternating goalies right through the Final Four.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: 2/4/02 Polls - 22 years ago
The top seven teams will be very difficult to displace. Seven teams received first place votes (but not the good guys).by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: HARVARD SUCKS! - 22 years ago
The sucking continues in the Beanpot. Northeastern up 5-2 late in the game. Grumet-Morris flubbed NU's first two goals, and it went downhill from there.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: 2/4/02 Polls - 22 years ago
Apple, we were 6-0 when that first place vote was cast (I thought by Hofher himself), and then went on to lose four straight (all Ivy games, I think) after that. Is the USA Today poll voted by coaches? Maybe Mazzoleni picked us!by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Crimson writers - 22 years ago
I thought Volonnino wrote a good column last year. And I think Jon Morosi, who covers hockey for The Crimson now, does a pretty good job, too.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: recruits - 22 years ago
Like Joe N., he's also played box lacrosse. Should mean good stick skills.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: Krzysztof Wieckowski - 22 years ago
Grady said that Wieckowski pointed to Downs immediately after the goal as a way of saying the goal belonged to him (Downs).by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Beanpot - 22 years ago
I'll be rooting for Harvard, too, but very quietly--my wife's a Northeastern grad. Both games on FSNE tomorrow at five.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: goals?? - 22 years ago
Even the Chief would be dazzled by 199 goals in 21 games!! I think those might be points, not goals. But the increase is still mighty impressive--and welcome.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: What has to happen for Cornell to end up in Ann Arbor as opposed to Worcester? - 22 years ago
Step 1, of course, is they have to get an invitation. I wouldn't start countin' that chicken just yet.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: not hockey. . . - 22 years ago
Let me know, Ben, when you see a Yale-Harvard hockey game.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Mazzoleni on Harvard's rivals - 22 years ago
And the Harvard hockey game at Yale is now played in New Haven's Veterans Coliseum to handle the crowd. Something like 60,000 people were in the Bowl for this year's Y-H football game (probably more than were at all Cornell's games combined). It IS a big rivalry.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
