Cornell - Northeastern

[Trotsky]

They had that incredible offense at one point.  Did they all graduate / jump?

Aston-Reese, Gaudette, Stevens, Sikura all gone.

The forwards did get Tyler Madden as a freshman - his father John Madden was very good in the NHL for a long time. Tyler may turn out better. Was on Team USA for World Juniors this year.

Thanks.

meh.

They were swept by Providence, split with UMass, and I guess you are not using pairwise rankings since I can't find the 4th loss since Nov. 1 vs. top 20 Pairwise team on their schedule.

Your Nov. 1 cutoff also excludes their Oct. 27 win over #1 St. Cloud State.

Our record vs. top 20 pairwise would include 4 wins over Union and 2 over Arizona State, as well as 3-3-2 vs. Hahvahd, Clarkson and Q.

The only thing I feel certain about is that attendance at Allentown will be terrible.

Let's use the women's team's 2019 NCAA win against Northeastern as a good sign. :-)

I've always assumed betting is a tax on the stupid, like the lottery, or MLM.  It's one of the billions of ways people have come up with to suck the pockets dry of people who think "I know I can beat an industry where the house is guaranteed to win because I am smarter than the other bettors," which is demonstrably proven false by the fact that the people smarter than the other bettors are the ones not betting.

I don't know. I always win playing the slots. Always, 100%, not kidding. Here's how:
[list=1]

• Go to the bank and get $5 worth of nickels.
• Go to a casino that has nickel slots.
• Play them.
• When the cocktail waitresses come by, always order a complimentary cocktail.

Because you're starting with 100 nickels, you'll probably play for over an hour. That should be good for 1-3 drinks at least. Even the watered down bourbons they serve are a bargain at the price (free!). Because playing the slots is like a random walk, there's a good chance your net winnings will be positive over any finite time. If not, quit when your roll runs out, and you've spent $5.00 on drinks. If your winnings are positive, quit while you're ahead, any time after you've bet your first 100 nickels.

This is the saddest thing I've read all week.

Sadder than Barr's summary letter of the Mueller report?

Please leave politics at the door.

One added benefit while you risk your 100 nickels in a slot machine: you will be surrounded by the shrewdest leading geniuses in your vicinity.

Reminds me of a comedy routine circa 2000.  "People voted for him because they thought he'd be a good guy to have a beer with.  Next time you're at a bar, look around.  See any presidents?"

Arguably the strongest team not named St. Cloud State or Minnesota-Duluth this season, the Mavericks are in prime position to make a run.

So you're arguing that the third-ranked team in the country may be the strongest team that isn't the first- or second-ranked team?  Interesting take.

I also like how in the middle of the Cornell write-up, the CHN writer starts three out of four sentences with the word "However". That's bad writing, but a good metaphor for Cornell hockey, especially this year--this is a team of "Howevers".
