Cornell: where even our fantasy simulations are painful.

Our last hope is the CHN simulation.

Our last hope is the CHN simulation.

Yes.  That one's not being run by a crank that threw us to the Lions.

Well, now I'm actually liking real life better.

Yeah, and there goes the CHN tourney. Our record in the regional finals is as bad virtually as it has been in reality.

Nice comment on the CHN game thread.

Cornell averaged about 10 penalty minutes per game through this season....one of the lowest averages in all of Division 1. They also had the fewest game misconducts. Whatever your calculation is for game misconducts, it clearly is not based on season stats per team. Maybe it's based on a Division 1 average. So you penalized Cornell with an unrealistic simulation. The #1 ranked team in the nation would never have committed a game misconduct in a game for the final four. Your simulation is flawed and needs to be corrected and replayed before you continue to disparage great teams. Cornell would have wiped the ice with BC in a game in Albany.

If the simulation were to be replayed, we probably would've had a 2 goal first period, followed by a BC goal off a high stick in the second. Then we'd have battled back to get a disallowed goal, three crossbars, and a whiff on an empty net. BC pots an easy one on a cherry picked breakaway, then we go to two overtimes and BC still would have taken it all on a puck bounced in off a skate that was reviewed and deemed good.

Sounds like somebody needs to get a sense of perspective.  And possibly also a lesson on Poisson statistics.

It's not clear to me how this affects simulations, but Cornell suffers from having to play mediocre competition in the ECAC. Clarkson isn't bad, but after that -- blah!


It has nothing to do with this, but yesterday I enjoyed watching the 1990 RPI-Cornell ECAC semifinal which Sean Pickett uploaded recently. It made me realize again one of the reasons why I used to despise Cornell. :-) I did not watch that game in 1990 because I don't get NESN.
