There are some YouTube videos with yours of college hockey facilities. For example, UMass, which provides its players 24-hour access to a rink and gym exclusive to the hockey team:
[youtu.be]

Contrast with the Cornell men’s team, which shares its ice with the women’s team, figure skating team, club team, intramurals, and recreational skaters, and which has a couple exclusive bikes and treadmills.

Didn’t they add a weight room in Lynah for just the hockey teams this year? I saw a video on Instagram in which Doug Derraugh gave a quick tour. I think it’s in a former locker room. So they’re at least doing what they can absent a much larger hockey facility.
Yeah, they did. I think it’s just a few machines, but at least it’s something.

I don’t think the ECAC Is ever quite as bad as it seems, it’s just that the lower tier of the conference are always trying to punch up in out of conference games instead of playing teams at their level.

I can only comment on RPI. We certainly seem to be doing that this year, but last year we mainly played AHA teams.

Since I didn't feel like driving up to Lake Placid tonight from New Haven, I went to watch Yale play BU instead. Cornell is the only team which has beaten both of them this season. I assume for PWR, it was better for us for BU to win, which they did 6-1. The scary thing was BU was missing three of its stars, all of whom were playing for their respective countries in the U18s. Even so, the talent/skill level of the BU players is absurd. BU scored twice in the first six minutes and it looked like a blowout, but Yale scored later in the period and was outplaying BU to start the second period. But then a Yale player got a 5-minute major and even though BU only scored once on the ensuing PP, that turned the momentum around and BU coasted the rest of the night, although the game did get fairly chippy. It was nice to see a full house at the Yale Whale, including a large contingent of BU fans.

It was better for us for Yale to win, because we play them twice and BU only once. In addition, I believe that Yale winning also improves the RPI of the other ECAC teams, which thereby improves our own RPI? Not a big deal either way who won, though.

If the RPI women could get a league win, both Harvard teams would be in 12th. RPI did sweep UVM this weekend by identical 5-1 scores.

According to USCHO, this has already happened since they gave RPI 2 league victories for the sweep of UVM. [www.uscho.com] Well, they once were in the ECAC. This may get fixed before others look.

Yes. Our ranking is a function, in part, of our strength of schedule. Also, NEU is in striking distance of an at-large bid. A win over BU would have substantially improved their position, including passing us in the Pairwise.

If the CHN app is to be believed, Q scored six goals in the first 8:52 of its game against Princeton, finishing the first period with six goals on 10 SOG. That's a rough stretch for the Princeton goalie/s. I'm hoping they pulled the starter at some point during the onslaught, perhaps after the fourth goal just 5:13 into the game.

Our RPI right now is .5447. From what I can tell, .54 is usually enough to get in. So maybe some of the teams ahead of us will slip a little.

The more I look at it, the more I don't understand the point of the pairwise. It's almost exactly the same as RPI every season. I'd just switch to straight RPI.

since RPI is the tie breaking component for many of the teams thats gonna happen.

the COP and H2H come into play for limited teams.

Umass is an example.. if we beat Harv we win the COP and had we beaten them instead of a tie we would win the PWR even with losing the RPI.

But how often RPI isnt the real reason for winning a PWR would need some review to see.

It seems like every year, there's only a couple or so differences between RPI and PWR rankings. Why go through all the hassle?

Yeah. I think it’s just RPI, except you drop a spot for each team behind you in RPI who has a (1) positive record against you and (2) better record than you against common opponents. This happened with Minn-Duluth last year: we had higher RPI, but they beat us head to head and had a better record against common opponents, so we ended up one ranking lower in the PWR.

Yup. Or, in the rare case you go 3-0 or better against a team, you beat them even if they have a better RPI and a better common opponent record.

But flipping one pairwise doesn't actually move you up. Say Team A is 39th and Team B is 40th in PWR and RPI, with A winning one more comparison than B. Then B flips a comparison with some other Team C. Now A and B are tied in comparisons won. The tiebreaker there is still RPI, so A is still 39 and B 40.

Pairwise #10 Western Mich lost to #22 Colorado College in OT and dropped four spots down to #14. Unfortunately Michigan beat Wisconsin and St. Cloud is winning. We still aren’t very close to any of the teams ahead of us.

RIT as of January 2024 is in the polling Top 20 (19 as of Jan. 22, both polls). If only we had two more games allowed, we could have played them this year in an early January dead week. They would be a reasonable replacement if Quinnipiac decides to flee to Hockey East or <gag> B1G.

Replace Quinnipiac with Arizona State. The ECAC could use the crossbreeding.


He was talking about both rows, no?bolt

Arizona State manages - barely - not to lose in regulation to an epically bad Lindenwood team (and ties it on a shorty, so good on them for not giving up). Is ASU playing shitty hockey just to spite us?!

Cornell is getting very little help from other results. It’s hard to see us catching anybody in the top 12 of the PWR, and 13 and 14 will be tough to catch unless we win almost every remaining game. Frankly, almost everyone ahead of us is a blue-blood program with a really good team this year. We need to keep winning.

No we don’t. Cornell will very likely be in the NCAAs if we lose one, two, or maybe even three games without winning the ECAC tournament.

You're the one who said we need to keep winning. If we need to keep winning it is because otherwise we will fall out of PWR contention and have to win the auto bid.

Yeah, we need to keep winning…the doesn’t mean win literally every single remaining game. Cornell has at least 11 games left before the NCAAs. Even the best hockey team is very unlikely to win 11 games in a row. Saying we need to “keep winning” just means we need to keep winning at a very high rate.

we need BU/BC to do their thing as well as Ndak/Denver and MSU/Minn/Wisc

Mich is only a few games over .500 and under .500 in the B10.. They get swept by MSU and/OR Minn and they could fall below .500

crazy world where UNH is 8th in HE but 16th in PWR

Playing the PWR what if is pretty hard to see us getting very much higher without some bad play above us no matter how well we play down the stretch.

If Mich doesnt get swept this weekend by MSU they gain on us and if they sweep they really gain on us

Umass has 4 chances to win over higher ranked teams. so best to have them beat UNH in a few weeks and hope they lose a bunch

if WMU just splits and gets swept vs NDAK we have a slight chance to pass them

st cloud needs to get swept by Denver in a few weeks

Prov would help by Maine sweeping them at home

we might be able to get to 10-11th or so with continued good play. But even home sweeps and splits on the rd we lose ground probably need 7-1 to stay in the race.

Also, Colorado College and UNH are right behind us and can gain a lot of ground given their remaining schedule (including NCHC/HE playoffs). Seems like this may be a really strange year where the NCAA top ~16 is top-heavy and everyone else is mediocre to bad.

I don't recall anything about Walsh taking money from boosters. And even if he did, I don't think that's against any rules.

Walsh broke a hundred other rules, though -- mainly getting ineligible players skated by because Maine's admissions and compliance department was non-existent, clueless, didn't care or all of the above. This led to numerous players getting declared ineligible after the fact, and games having to be forfeited left and right. And when he got dinged on one, he'd just try it again with someone else. Walsh always thought he could outsmart everyone, and that his interpretation of the rules were correct, and he was defiant about it. Moreso, he was just trying to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Walsh did take some money from boosters while he was on a five-game unpaid suspension, despite specifically being told by the university NOT to take the money. I'm unclear whether that was a rules violation, but apparently the real problem was that he lied about the whole situation a few months later during an investigation.

Root for MSU/Maine sweeps and Umass to get nothing better than a split vs UConn.

Really wild would be WMU splitting with Omaha

Cornell potentially could move to 10th if all that happens.
