Wow.

I should have also mentioned that a lot of the time I'm trolling but somehow taken seriously.

IMHO, FWIW, when you post straight without trolling your observations about games, and in particular your observations about our recruiting and our prospects' performance for their pre-Cornell teams, are excellent.  You have a lot to contribute.  But, much like me, when you try to be funny you miss, and when you provide criticism you tend to veer into ad hom and/or embarrass yourself.  Nobody asked me, but if you stick to matters of fact you are a high value contributor.  If your intent is provide clarity then you are washing our windows with bricks.

Mostly I suppose I just miss being unquestionably the most unnecessarily caustic prick here.  It was all I had, man.  Don't take that from me.

I feel like someone had you (and BL) beat about 15 years ago, but I'm not certain on the name details.

He Who Shall Not Be Named is without doubt the all-time PPG leader for sheer offensiveness.  I would like to think it was the alter ego of one of our more gentle posters.  That would give me great joy.

QU is up 3-0 on BU and it doesn't even look like the two teams are in the same stratosphere with the way that game is going

Two minutes into the second period, the live box has Q outshooting BU 27-8. What has happened to BU this year?

And can it please continue for two more weeks?

ECAC 4-0 non con today. Up to .475 on the season. Even though Omaha, BU and Alaska don't look like the teams we probably hoped they would be when we scheduled them, we have a fighting chance for an at large bid thanks to the conference turning it on a bit.

Well, we haven't played those teams yet so if they suck and we beat them, then whatever. UMass is a more concerning to me, we already split with them and they were swept by BC this weekend. I hope they're actually good.

Clarkson starting to struggle now that Casey's recruits are gone? Hmm...

Hmmmmmmm.

Also, Omaha is outperforming expectations. They just had a stretch of SUPER high level games. Don't count them out.

BU - defense has forgotten how to defend. Team is imploding a little. As a BU mild enthusiast I hate to see it, as a Cornell fan HELL yes.

Alaska... have not been keeping track tbh.

Unfortunately I have been inflicted with BU Friends as well as My NHL Team's Goalie Is There. So I can't hate them. As much as I try

As I said... UNO is sneaky good rn.

[Dafatone]

If we're playing UNO at Lynah this year, will we be going to UNO next year?

Because I can actually get to Omaha. Last time we were there, the Nebraskans did not appreciate it when I yelled "red" during the anthem.

I'm not sure which message to reply to, and I don't have time to wade into the discussion at the moment, except to remind Adam that we actually implemented a version of KRACH that automatically fit the home-ice advantage, which we called KASA.  ("KRACH Adjusted for Site Advantage", a backronym which Ken Butler helped us construct.)

Also, a previous debate on the eLF did lead to a paper entitled "Prediction and Evaluation in College Hockey Using the Bradley-Terry-Zermelo Model": https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.04226

well aware on both counts
