I think they took the cities where their sales are soft and ranked them in that order.  It's a cute ploy to sell issues, but -- shrug.

No, you're only a whore if we pay you.  Technically, you're a slut. ;-)

The TBRW link is working, if you have the new site. ;-)

Edit 1: I have no idea why the full url isn't linking within eLynah.  It's specified correctly and works fine outside eL.

Edit 2: Never mind, it works now.

Edit 3: It isn't updated for 2004 yet.  Damn job.

Aha.

I don't get it.

1. How many shots at the draft does a player have before he's an undrafted free agent?

2. If a player can just opt out, why didn't Eric "I hate French Canada" Lindros just opt out and save himself all the Quebecois madness?

Imagine if we'd lost...  ::twitch::

The most hyped (and highest drafted) is Ray Sawada.  That's probably a good first guess.

ECAC teams reached the championship game in 5 of 6 seasons between 1985 and 1990, winning titles in 1985 and 1989 and coming within an overtime eyelash in 1988 -- the strongest period of ECAC competitiveness ever.

Nothing is guaranteed, but from the way they stack up going into this year it looks like Cornell has a great chance to finish > .500 overall for the sixth consecutive season.  The Big Red have not accomplished that since 1981 (24 seasons ago), the final year of an 18 season stretch of finishes > .500.

Likewise, Cornell comes into this year having finished at 4th or better in the ECAC for 5 consecutive seasons.  The longest such streak ever in Cornell history was the 10 straight seasons from 1966-75.

It isn't a matter of hating Chabot.  It's a matter of observing that last year Schafer played McKee for 1929 of the team's 1942 minutes, and for the other 13 he played Marr.

I assume Davenport and Chabot will each get their chance to challenge McKee in practice.  Unless Davenport is really not ready, I think we'll see him played occasionally at first, and then more or less as his performance inspires.  Chabot: I think Schafer has already made a tentative judgment.

Hmm.  Kill the loser?  I LIKE it...

This will be the third consecutive year in which a player has been admitted and has deferred, right?

2002 - Glover
2003 - McKeown
2004 - Mugford

According to this not very informative map: http://www.worldhockeyassociation.net/teams.htm

the fixed franchises are:

Detroit
Halifax
Hamilton
Miami
Quebec City
Toronto

and the last "floating" franchise is Vancouver/Dallas.

I like the idea of a probationary period for any new member.  I don't think it would impact their recruiting very much, and it would incentify them to do something other than bottom feed and bask in whatever reflected glory the ECAC offers.  Not that I'm thinking of a team from Schenectady or anything.
