OK, I'll start it, but leaving soon for the game.
Here are a couple of articles from Albany and Schenectady papers.
Schnectady Daily Gazette (http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2008/mar/14/314_union/)
Albany Times-Union (http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?newsdate=3/14/2008&navigation=nextprior&category=SPORTS&storyID=671943)
The Times-Union has some interesting stats.
We've outscored opponents 91-69, Union's been outscored 85-75.
We have best league D at 2.13, they only score at 2.27.
They talked about special teams and here are the conf stats:
PP PK Net Special Teams
CU 21.7 87.6 +8
UC 15.5 81.7 -6
So far I like it.
Lies. Damn lies. And statistics. And here's one I don't like:
Cornell's Head to Head Against Union This Season: 0-2.
I do like the law of large numbers, however...

The New York Football Giants were 0-2 against the Dallas Cowboys during the 2007 NFL regular season. I don't mind how that playoff matchup turned out. **]

And the New York Football Giants were 0-1 against the New England Patriots during the 2007 NFL regular season. I don't mind how that one turned out either.
I know 0-1 isn't as appropriate as Josh's example. But it had to be said. :-D
If you break it down further, in the six periods where Cornell played Union this year, there was one period were Cornell outscored Union (1-0), three periods where the two teams tied (2-2), and two periods where Union outscored Cornell (3-0).
On the power play, Cornell was 1 of 7, whereas Union was 0 of 6.
So, um, it's probably going to be a close series. Not that we didn't know that already.
if the cornell that played Union at home shows up we win.. if the cornell that showed up for the first 2 games vs dart its gonna be a tought weekend.
anyone hear if this game is on tv anywhere? sometimes NESN covers onion playoffs
ignore my question above
