Re: Todd Marr - 22 years ago
You can't possibly be serious, Nadie. The goalie with the second best save percentage on the team is in the top five in the country. Todd Marr should consider himself lucky that they even let him dress for the games. (Of course, I've never seen him play, so perhaps it is the greatest injustice of all time, but I'll trust Schafer to make the call.)by ugarte - Hockey

Re: Speeding up the game - 22 years ago
I think the 3 20 minute period structure of hockey is perfect. I don't think that "less game" counts as "speeding up the game" anyway. Sounds like a stupid not-serious suggestion.by ugarte - Hockey

Is there any effort made by the Committee to keep teams from playing rematches in the tournament, or does it just prevent intra-conference matchups?by ugarte - Hockey
Re: choices - 22 years ago
You can have your cake and eat it in your dreams. It just doesn't make any sense in a thought experiment. Since I waffle a little in my answer also I won't give you a further hard time, but I still don't know what you would choose.by ugarte - Hockey

Re: venting - 22 years ago
I don't like subjective elements in any sport, and I don't like that the X-sports seem to have been added so Americans would have a reason to watch the Winter Olympics (because winners named Franz, Lars or Boris just bore the U.S.A.) That said, Kelly Clark's run in the halfpipe was smokin' and I was really glad to see it happen in the Olympics. The judging in freestyle skiing doesn't seem to haby ugarte - Hockey
Re: If you could choose... - 22 years ago
The reason that it is limited to two options is because if the choices are (A) Frozen Four, (B) ECAC Tourney, and (C) both, everyone will choose C. Now stop being a sissy and make the tough choice.by ugarte - Hockey
Re: Cornell makes NHL.com's "In the Slot" again - 22 years ago
I don't think anyone on this forum would want to correct the article. Someone from, say, Northern Michigan might be upset, though.by ugarte - Hockey
Re: If you could choose... - 22 years ago
No question. With an ECAC regular season title, I would take the Frozen Four this year. And I don't care if our NCAA wins are convincing. (Unless one of them is against one of the scrub conferences.) The choice is complicated because winning the ECAC and losing in the first round would suck. If I didn't know the tournament results and was given a choice between taking our chances in the NCAA tby ugarte - Hockey

The team goes to the tournament, not the school. The team is a group of players, and those players are a "they".by ugarte - Hockey
Re: 2/11/02 - 22 years ago
Harvard probably got a #14 from the same person who voted us #1 to throw the ECAC a bone. And it is certainly no worse than 9 votes for Mercyhurst. Mercyhurst is 1-6 out of conference, and that record includes only one game against HE (Northeastern), no games against the WCHA or CCHA and includes a pair of losses to Findlay as well as a loss to RPI and two losses to Clarkson in which they wereby ugarte - Hockey

Re: 1980 Hockey Team - 22 years ago
The 1960 team is undervalued compared to the 1980 team. I don't think the 1960 team deserves to be relegated in that way, but I think the most important factor is being left out: how familiar the audience was with Tretiak, KLM, etc. From my too-young-to-remember-1980-very-well-either eyes, the N.A. audience "knew" the 1980 Soviet team better than the 1960 audience "knew" tby ugarte - Hockey
Re: Travel partners in a 14 team ECAC - 22 years ago
This is an interesting question that the Penn author didn't think about. Quinnipiac looks like it is trying to increase its profile in a lot of ways. Their basketball team made the NCAAs last year and their political surveys are nationally recognized. I also heard (when I paid a lot more attention to these things) that the law school was making a pitch to "steal" faculty from higherby ugarte - Hockey
Offtopic: Big Red Hoops - 22 years ago
Cornell 63, Harvard 62 Finally, the Big Red pulls off a league win - and against a first division team (and Harvard to boot!). I am rooting for Yale to break the stranglehold the P schools have had on the Ivy title.by ugarte - Hockey
Re: Penn wants in- Wouldn't it be great... - 22 years ago
there are plenty of coaches available . . . Take, for instance, 1997 NHL Coach of the Year Ted Nolan, who has been looking for a job since he left the Buffalo Sabres after winning that award. While I think another Ivy hockey team would be great, is this guy serious? Maybe Scotty Bowman is tired of the Red Wings. . .by ugarte - Hockey
Re: LeNeveu #1 in the nation - 22 years ago
That Cornell has two goalies in the top 5 is spectacular, but I think that Ryan Miller is still the most impressive goalie in college hockey. He has 7 shutouts, and over 1800 minutes played. Neither of the Cornell goalies has half that, and Cam McCormick has around 1100. Two great goalies gives Cornell an advantage because we can keep our goalies rested, but I think the best individual achieveby ugarte - Hockey
Re: No deal at all, Robb! - 22 years ago
I don't think that the posters here have generally taken anyone's "side", since the posters here criticize Al when we think he is out of line. The sandbox is clearly labelled for the two of you. The people here are not so thin-skinned that we are really bothered by what you said. What bothers us is that your posts were so clearly designed and intended to provoke (at least) Al.by ugarte - Hockey

Re: Offtopic: Olympics - 22 years ago
Dana Antal is playing for the Canadian team, as is Joe Nieuwendyk. Once again we are subjected to the nonsense of NBC's "plausibly live", and I have to avoid seeing the results of Cornell senior Hannah Hardaway in the freestyle skiing until they show it tonight (the event started at 11AM EST).by ugarte - Hockey
