Gillam was also a nominee for GOTW. I was surprised, when I read your post, that he wasn't GOTW, so I went looking to see why he wasn't even nominated, and found that he was:

Right you are, and I've made the correction. I just missed Mitch's name when scanning the ECAC graphic. Amusing that one of the points under "supporting information" for Sakellaropoulos is "much better name than Mitch Gillam." Unfair!

Team of the Week: Cornell

Team of the Week: Cornell

Great article, particularly weaving the quotes in.  Adam is in the 1% part of the "99% of everything is crap" rule for sportswriting.

Wodon left out the funniest part of the Army story.

As I recall hearing (or reading) it, Schafer also didn't let the guys shower after the game and their workout, and then made them ride back to Ithaca that way. The problem was he was riding the same bus that not surprisingly had quite the stench to it long before it made it back to Ithaca. I think there was even a Schafer quote at the time about never doing THAT again!

Greetings ... I'm lurking here whether I get ripped or praised ... but just wanted to say that, coming from Trotsky and his high standards, that is truly noteworthy, particularly because he has never hesitated to correct me on something if warranted  So - thanks.

Also - re: "the rest of the story" - believe me, I'd love to have delved further into it, and could talk all day about that season alone. But this was supposed to be a Team of the Week article, and as it was, I feel like I'm probably burying good stuff about Schafer just by having it in there. Deserves an article unto itself, but could only do so much at this time. One day ... But, yes, there are no shortage of stories from that day alone.

Agreed on all counts.

When I wrote that you left out the funniest part of the story, that was in no way intended as criticism. You're right that more of it in that piece would not have made any sense. It's just such a good story...

I hear ya - no worries - was just elaborating.

Not really awards, at least for us, but I didn't want to start another thread for this week's NCAA Hockey: Top Five Plays. 4/5 are ECAC games and unfortunately 1 is a Dartmouth goal.

[Jim Hyla]

Kaldis is Rookie of the Week. Weidner got "Other" for POTW.

Kaldis is Rookie of the Week. Weidner got "Other" for POTW.

It's awfully satisfying to have beaten the team from which the POTW was selected in the week for which he was selected.

Slightly off-topic: I'd forgotten we have two games in hand over Quinnipiac, Harvard, and St. Lawrence (and one over Union), all of whom are still above us in the ECAC standings but that much more catchable as a result. We can and should get the first-round bye if we get business done.

How long have you known me?

Always. Use. Percentage.
