oh, and one other thing that I don't think was mentioned...Murphy had a slow whistle in Albany and this weekend he blew the whistle really really quickly.  On the boards, in front of the net, you name it.

Nickerson and McKee played together on the Texas Tornados last year.

Man, I am annoying...

One other thing that I just remembered that I noticed...Nickerson was on stick duty last night.  He had to go to the bench and bring all of the sticks into the locker room after the game!  hahahaha!  Stupid freshman!  ;-)

Adam:

  There are two Murphys...John and Dan.  John reffed the CU/St Lawrence game and the CU/RPI game in Troy.  Brother Dan "called" the CU/Clarkson game.  They look a bit a like, but Dan sees a very different game than John!!

Oh, we all see a very different game than John. :-P

John actually used to be the good one.  Dan used to be the one who called every ticky-tacky piece of crap for 40 minutes and then swallowed the whistle and let mass hysteria ensue.

[q]From what I've read, a lot of the strength of Colgates PWR comes by barely edging out TUC comparisons with certain teams. If they lose a game to any TUC at this point, their PWR will drop significantly because the comparison will flip.[/q]

It is conceivable though that if Colgate get a non-TUC in the quarters (I don't think they can get a TUC in the quarters, unless they lose and that team wins it all) and then again in the semis, loses the semis and goes to the consolation where they meet and defeat a TUC, they can back into the tournament like they did in 2000.

Colgate also benefits in the TUC comparisons from the fact that the teams they are competing with on the bubble will all have to play conference tournaments almost exclusively against TUCs.

[Greg Berge]

Does it seem counterintuitive to anybody else that Colgate would be hurt more by losing to a better team?

Well, yes.  Just one more flaw in the TUC criterion.

[CowbellGuy]

Only thing I could find were game notes from Vermont saying that Femenella had surgery and would likely be out for the rest of the season. Don't like to see anyone get hurt, but the guy is an ass.

Also, what the hell was up with the jackasses throwing the alma mater lyrics on the ice in the second intermission? There were probably 20 or 30 thrown before the ushers waddled down and looked sternly about. Starting to feel like Starr in there.

I seriously felt like killing large chunks of B, D, E, and F after seeing that.  Okay, maybe not large chunks, but I did want to personally hunt down and destroy each and everyone one of the papertossers.  Not only is it stupid to do because of the rules, it's disrespectful to Cornell.

I swear, if the Redline gets to have any sort of authority in the ticket line next year, or at least we get to distribute Lynah Faithful pamphlets, can we put "Except for newspaper, fish, and toothpaste (and maybe toys if that continues), don't fuckin' throw shit on the ice!" in big bold red letters on the first page?

[Greg Berge]

I dunno, but I'd pay to hear Arthur announce that verbatum before the lineups.

[Jacob 03]

There's a good chance those throwing things belong to the same class of persons not present before Arthur announces said lineups.
