It has been that long?! Coach Schafer begins 12th year

[Rita]

Due to my incompetence in operating my DirectTV/dvr, I did not record any of the NFL Network's NFL replay's last night, so I did not have any football to watch while working out this morning. However, I did have the replay of the Cornell-Colgate ECACHL semi-final game from last March that I taped back in July, so I watched that instead. At the beginning of the game there was a graphic for Coach Schafer stating that it was his 11th season as Coach. It didn't seem like he has been there that long; wasn't it just yesterday he was promising that Cornell will once again beat Hahvahd? ;-) Realizing that your concept of time is fading and that  it has been that long since you were a carefree grad student is not a revelation that you want at 6 am.

According to the ticker on the renovation blog:  37 days 10 hours until first home game of 2006-07 and Coach's 12th season. :-)

Remarkably, Schafer now ties Dick Bertrand with the second-most seasons as a coach (12).  It will take him a while to break Nicky Bawlf's all-time record.  ;-)   But here's hoping!

Tying?  Screw that.  I want to see Schafer win that column outright.

Can someone fill me in on any rule changes regarding ties. I don't seem to recall any tiebreakers in the Bertrand era yet there is a marked increase in with McCutcheon and Schafer. Is it just due to the general higher level of scoring in days gone by?

Regular season overtime was 10 minutes until around 1985.

OT actually went to 5 minutes for the 1989-90 season.  No, I'm not that anal -- well, all right, maybe I am -- but I remember this because HOCKEY-L's predecessor, college_hockey, started the same year and this change was one of the first topics of discussion.
