Re: Not so ez????
BAHAHAHHAHA,
Yale is #1 because 3/4ths of the their schedule has been removed due to being bad wins lowering their RPI. Look at their comparison, they are 1-0 against UND (based on RPI). If you considered they have been beating up on the poor they would not be #1. Regardless, who the frick cares, It's Jan. 02nd, althought with their schedule they should win out and stay at #1 until they get to the regionals and play someone substantial.

Re: Not so ez????
I love how you still have a complete inability to comprehend facts. This is just blatantly wrong.
Look, this argument is stupid on both sides. Yale fans, it's January. Be happy with where you are but you aren't going to earn respect unless you continue winning. You haven't built a reputation as a top team yet. You've done very well so far but you've got a long way to go to get to March. Keep up the good work and you will earn the respect you are looking for, you aren't doing yourselves any favors by crowing.
Yale haters, please, grow up as well. Reacting to the crowing by refusing to give any credit whatsoever is equally childish as the crowing itself. Maintaining old prejudices in the face of factual evidence, and then dropping down to their level by quoting the results from one game to prove superiority isn't making you look good either. And bear in mind, when your loudest voice is jcarter7669, perhaps you should re-evaluate your position.
This may well be the most pointless argument in the history of these boards. That goes for both sides.

Re: Not so ez????
Do you guys have a writer at the NY Daily News, even he uses the term EZAC! Good article BTW. Even Jerry York appreciates Yale.

Re: Not so ez????
Yale is good, the ECAC isn't. Next?
"and the jokes around college hockey about the inferior level of play in the ECAC (or the EZAC, as it is sometimes called by its detractors) have quieted"
they have?

By those who don't have their heads stuck firmly in dark, smelly places, yes.

Re: Not so ez????
Ha, I know better than to get in argument with a blow hard like you, so if you're a believer in the ECAC, more power to you. We'll find out in March (again).

Re: Not so ez????
Wow, yeah. Jerry York said
What do you think he's going to say? "**** Yale, they ****ing suck!" A coach complimenting another team is like a guy saying "No honey, you don't look fat in that." They're gonna say it no matter what they really think.

Re: Not so ez????
It is? How so?
Yale PWR v. UND... Yale wins RPI, tie on TUC , tie on COP, tie on H2H. Yale's RPI doesn't account for bad wins, ergo if RPI weren't adjusted for beating up on the local bantam teams their RPI would be lower and UND would win the PWR... So... how is my statement wrong there chief?

Re: Not so ez????
I enjoyed the empirical evidence presented in this rebuttal.
I see what you tried to do there. A noble effort, but it lacked zeal. I'm not feeling it. More, more man.
You clearly don't understand the concept well.
You claim that "3/4th of their schedule has been removed" and wish to know how that statement is wrong. I will explain it for you, after which you will get very upset with me and start name-calling again, but oh well.
"Bad wins" are those that get removed from RPI consideration because of the paradox of a win that lowers a team's RPI. That only really happens when a very good team takes down a very, very bad team. Typically, these are the teams that are amongst the worst in RPI.
The TUCs that have had "bad wins" removed from their RPI are Yale (who have played Colgate and Sacred Heart), Boston College (Colgate), Rensselaer (Alabama-Huntsville), Wisconsin (Alabama-Huntsville), Union (Army and Sacred Heart), and Merrimack (Army). Thus, Yale has two games which do not count against RPI. This is 2 out of 12, or 1/6, a sum considerably less than 3/4.
Also, you display a lack of understanding about the PairWise Rankings. There is no "tie" in the TUC comparison between Yale and North Dakota, it simply does not yet exist. Yale has played a total of 12 games (mostly because, as an Ivy League team, they start play in early November, a month after everyone else), and of those, half are against TUCs, all wins. Once they reach 10 games against TUCs, this criteria will exist. This criteria, right now, exists only in a few comparisons throughout the entirety of the PWR. The criteria of common opponents between Yale and North Dakota also does not exist until such time as North Dakota plays Colorado College in late January. The Sioux must sweep the Tigers or Yale will win this criteria.
Glad I could clear these up for you. I look forward to your wanton abuse.

Re: Not so ez????
Wow, odd, earlier there were 5 games that were not allowed, as it is you still forgot Cornell, which is 3 out of 12 or 1/4. Still considerably lower then the sarcastic 3/4. It should however be closer to 1/2 realistically. You really can't count UVM as anything but a bad win.
I would have mentioned that it didn't exist instead of tie, but I thought that would be over your head. The TUC will never come into play for Yale as it's doubtful they will play 10 TUC's. But whatever. Glad you were able to look at that 3/4 remark and then use that as your basis for
You really need to take that peace pipe out of your asssss and smoke it more often. Nothing worse then an indian with a chip on his shoulder and pipe up his butt.

Re: Not so ez????
I didn't forget Cornell because they weren't taken out.
Now that you've been called on it, you were just being sarcastic. I see.
I'm sure you're "just being sarcastic," but Vermont doesn't reach that level because wins against them don't result in RPI hits.
Ah, the wanton abuse I was expecting.
Actually, they will have 10 TUCs before the end of the season. Teams from outside Atlantic Hockey (and last year, the CHA) practically never manage to finish the season without 10 games against TUCs. They generally get enough even just from playing league games.
I invite you to make a wager on this point if you are so certain about it.
More wanton abuse with a healthy dollop of racism. You really don't like being proven wrong, do you?

I know Yalies are idiots, but I'll give them at least a hint of credit in saying this guy is an imposter. Reminds me of the d-bag on Good Will Hunting that doesn't understand the concept of an apple.

Re: Not so ez????
When was I proven wrong?
Other then you "proving" my 3/4 quip was wrong...(I'm still amazed you can't figure out that wasn't sarcasm) I haven't seen anything that would a.) upset me and b.) warrant your response to my original post.
BTW, that's not racism, I'm not discriminating against you, merely trying to be helpful with concern over your well being. Oh and Cornell is still listed on SueSports and UVM is not a good win... I don't care if it affects your RPI or not. As entertaining as it is, I have no drive to argue with a "special" person. As such good day, and have a good night Chief CrazyCloud

Re: Not so ez????
Yale deserves some credit, they are doing so far against cupcakes. They are a good team and will have developed a solid program. Until they beat someone of substance I am not sure they are #1 but they are up there. But like the huge Ylae wins agianst teams like Holy Cross, UVM, and the Russian Pee Wee team being used as justification for their dominance of NCAA hockey, I don't think wins against UAH and "moral victories" against BC are really justification for "EZ??". Yaledoc needs to post where he works because after reading the posts and threads I want to make sure to avoid that place...
