Cornell 7 RPI 1 (postgame)

[quote Rich S]Jim,

I respect both yours and Dpperk's point of view and will not get into that.  

However, I will point out that regarding your objection to "out of towner's" making statements that "hype the situation" that it was only a few years ago that there were a lot of those made about the "Morris affair" by elynah folks who had an incomplete knowledge of the facts of that situation.

Those statements were largely vitriolic and called for either his suspension or firing and added little to the discussion, much as you claim in this case.

Looking forward to seeing you in Albany.[/quote]

Rich,

If they went to the Clarkson forum and did that, then I think that was wrong. If all they did was to spout off here then I think that's different. If you guys want to talk about Schafer resigning on your site, go right ahead, but to come over here and make the comment, when we have not been discussing it, seems rather bush to me. I'm impressed with your current coach, but for the sake of argument, let's assume you lose in Albany (I can wish, can't I?). If I then went to your site and started talking about Coach Roll resigning, I hope you would tell me to drop dead.

To me it makes a great deal of difference where the discussion is started. If I want to talk about your coach here you can respond if you like, or you can consider the source and say nothing. However if I were to go to your site and say that, then I see no purpose other than trying to stir up trouble and I'd hope you'd put me in my place.

I hope you can see my point, I just don't like it when a posts purpose is to just stir the fire. If we did that on the old Clarkson site, we were wrong.

Now about your final statement. I hope we'll be there.

From Monday's Ithaca Journal

"Barlow was scratched because of the misconduct he was assessed late in Friday's loss, Schafer said. Cornell has officially clinched home ice for a playoff series. The Big Red can still finish the season anywhere from first to eighth place. Davenport was helped off the ice late in the third period with what appeared to be a knee injury."

It's not the "USCHO PWR".  The pairwise comparisons using the selection criteria are used by the NCAA in tournament selection, and numerous sites track them, e.g.

http://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/ncaapwcr.php (updated whenever game results are added to the database)
http://slack.net/~whelan/tbrw/tbrw.cgi?pwr (updated overnight)
http://slack.net/~whelan/tbrw/tbrw.cgi?rankings.diy (add your own results)
http://siouxsports.com/hockey/rankings/pwr/ (edit--thanks to ithacat for the link)

Also, Cornell's appearance in the pairwise rankings is not the result of some arcane event that only USCHO can tell you about.  The teams that show up in the pairwise are "Teams Under Consideration", now defined to be the top 25 teams in the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index), tracked for example at http://slack.net/~whelan/tbrw/tbrw.cgi?rpi

==============================================================
The Pairwise Rankings published each week at USCHO are described on the website as the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------
The PairWise Rankings (PWR) are a statistical tool designed to approximate the process by which the NCAA selection committee decides which 16 teams to invite to the Division I championship tournament. Although the PWR does not precisely duplicate the method used by the committee, the PWR has exactly predicted the NCAA tournament entries in each of the last eight years.

I didn't imply anything else in my post.

Apparently, the correct answer to this loaded question is Mu, which "indicates that the question itself is wrong."
