Quote from: JasonN95Quote from: The Rancor"ref beats his wife" is one long gone, and good riddance. Sadly, 3 blind mice is gone, with the addition of the fourth official. Long Diiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee always bothered me, but I've lived with it.
Combining that cheer with the other distasteful "the ref f*cks sheep" into "the ref beats his sheep" did amuse me.
Quote from: dag14Umm, hockey schedule updates anyone?
Quote from: BeeeejQuote from: upprdeckYou would think that the IVY league would have its act together and not have people pay to watch their teams games on the ivy network and then have to pay a full fee again to watch it on some other schools network.. I'm not against paying twice but it shouldn't be a full fee as though we weren't already paying for games.. The leagues could work out some arrangement if just a little thought was put into it.
As is always my first question when someone posts a complaint like this one here on eLF:
Have you asked ILDN and/or NCHC if they can discuss making such arrangements? I know it's shocking, but when extra work is involved, service providers often respond only to actual evidence of demand.
Quote from: nshapiroQuote from: KGR11I did some data analysis based on what BearLover's saying. I found the ECAC'S OOC winning % for each year for Schafer's tenure (Source: CHN) and plotted it against the number of Cornell NCAA Tournament games (TBRW). There is a negative correlation: A 10% increase in ECAC OOC% means a 0.33 decrease in the number of NCAA tournament games Cornell plays (Rsquared value=0.04).
This comparison leaves a lot to be desired since there's only 4 discreet values for the number of NCAA tournament games. To make up for this, I also plotted OOC vs. Cornell's RPI rank as reported in TBRW (only available for years 2017,2014,2013,2003-2010). There was still a negative correlation: for a 10% increase in ECAC OOC%, our RPI ranking dropped 6.6 spots (Rsquared value=0.22).
Rsquared values aren't necessarily great and I'm not fully capturing Bearlover's argument (I didn't take into account a lag between ECAC OOC performance and Cornell's results), but there is a correlation during Schafer's time that a weak ECAC OOC is good for Cornell.
Couldn't this be interpreted as saying that Cornell's performance is a constant, and when the ECAC is improved, Cornell looks relatively worse?
Quote from: BearLoverSelection committee's prioritizing profits over merit pits us against the fourth- rather than eighth-best team in the country.

I just answered "How can we improve the hockey experience?" with "Replace the head coach."
Quote from: andyw2100Quote from: Chris '03According to John Buccigross, Gillam is only the third NCAA goalie to score a goal, ever. Video on sportscenter.
I'd be willing to bet he's the first NCAA player ever to lead his team in both goals against average and goals scored per game at the same time.
Quote from: ursusminorIf he goes, just don't steal our coach again. :-}

Quote from: RatushnyFanWhat did Dougie do to draw 17 PIM from Steve Ott? Atta boy!
Looks like a tough night on paper for Greening (-3), I didn't see the game though.
