Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
Dude, they take a lot of penalties. The proof is in the numbers. Taking away this game and that game doesn't work. "If Plattsburgh takes away two losses to Oswego they would be 22-5-1." Yeah, you can't do that. It is what it is. They somehow managed to be quite successful even though they take a lot of penalties. This has nothing to do with how good they are as people.

Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
The committee needs a reason to change the rankings. They can't just go "well that's inconvenient to what we're trying to do, can we switch that up?"
Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
To characterize them as having a pattern of almost 20 min in penalties for 27 games is wrong...a pattern is a practice or someting that is done more often than not, so to have 16 games of less pen/min than opposition and 11 games of equal or more does not a pattern show. Yup they take too many penalties for me too but not the worst team by statistic in the country by a long shot....to use the defense"he hit me first" to support why other teams take penalties when playing CSC is just a way to justify someones theory. so just trying to be fair, to compair losses to penalty minutes is not a fair analogy...if a team had 40% of their penalty minutes in 6 games I feel to be fair that needs to be included...we can agree to disagree..majority of games apprx 15 min in penalties and yes that is too much also, did the bullys make the other teams take more penalties than normal ? don't think so, may be just a more intense rivalry but pattern no way

Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
If Saturday doesn't come soon, the whining here will become deafening. On CSC men's hockey, I don't know whether the players are good guys or not. They most likely are. I do believe that they are playing the game the way their coach wants them to play. If the coach did not want them averaging almost a full period worth of penalties a game, he'd make sure that didn't see the ice very much. Look at the bottom (least penalized) teams in the penalty minute standings, Plattsburgh and Norwich. These players are not choirboys who don't want to hit anyone. They are playing the game the way their coaches want them to play.
Obviously, overriding all of this is my concern for player safety. Hits to the head have no place in hockey at any level. CSC has used athletics as a way to build their enrollment. This is a growth strategy that seems to be working. David Wolk should keep in mind, however, that on-ice behavior that may win a hockey game can also result in serious brain injuries to opposing (or his own) athletes. Hockey is a rough game but the kind of play that results in blatant hits to the head is not in his college's best interest or part of anyone's growth plan. We all worry about the player's safety. D3 hockey is not about making it to the NHL. It's about playing the game you love for your school, and your teammates. Play hard. Play to win. But don't play to end someone's playing career or worse.

Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
Again you make it sound like they have this contact to the head penalty on a game by game basis, when in fact they were called for that 3 times in 27 games and had called on teams they played 2 times....those kids don't go out there to "end someones playing careers" or with the intent of a "blatant "hit.....yes should it be zero hits to the head yes. as for CSC's I would say the one at Middlebury was blatant and the young man was benched the next game

Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
I have listen to this whine about CSC for 2 days now.YES THEY AVEAGE 20 MINUTES IN PENALTYS PER GAME.but look back to Union 2000-2001 stat year,The senior year for Alex Todd under Coach Kevin Shetton of UVM, Average penalty minutes 18.6. Teach what you are taught.

Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
No one is whinning here I am just tired of the Characterization of CSC hockey team as thugs and guys that want to end careers etc..noone on here wants to take the stats into perspective and just blanket it as 20 min per game and hits to the head ...... well if a team plays 10 games, wins 4 of the 10-0 each game and loses the other 6 games 1-0 you could say the averaged 4goals a game but that does not tell the whole story....so 40% of CSC penalty minutes in 6 games needs to be put in the proper perspective as did the 3 contact to the head penalties

Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
With a committee of 2 east and 2 west, it's probably hard to switch the rankings, but not impossible. In other sports, you have eight regions represented by one. Much easier to override that way. My other question would be to wonder what the ECAC West rep on the East call though of Elmira falling a spot?

Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
Did I read a post in one of either this thread or the speculation thread regarding SOS < .500 being dropped from the field per the NCAA handbook (as the case with Castleton)? Or, was that one of the Bracketologists' own rules?
If a NCAA rule, obviously this would not apply to an AQ team like Adrian, Curry, Bowdoin.
(Based on the 3-1-11 rankings)

Looks like USM had a hand in the perception as well, so maybe you need to come to grips with reality about things in your own back yard before making a big issue. I saw a Norwich player rip the helmet off a Castleton player in the last game, but Castleton is the bad team because you say so. Look below the 4 years of ECAC-East stats for an interesting tidbit. Their PIM were accomplished in 15 games that year (4 leass that CSC played). This year they were at 19.4 minutes. That team gets to play the "elite" teams now because they win and it helps the opposing teams SOS and that is what makes the difference this time of years.

Re: Post all your cries whines, objections, complaints here
You will be told that it is CSC's fault that the Norwich player pulled his helmet off, CSC is responsible for the other teams penalties as they would not take them against other teams but it is because of the way CSC plays

WILL YOU JUST STOP!!! Castleton isn't in....Deal with it. They couldn't get into the finals in their own conference. Maye next year they can just win their conference and save all this bandwidth.

has nothin to do with being "in" has to do with post earlier making accusations against this team, if you don't like it don't read it as 77 says all the time....go whine about having to pay a small fee to watch you team play

Please, nothing was said about Castleton and the NCAA tournament - however this thread has become a bash Castleton thread lead by HockeyFan77 who continually bashes Castleton even when there is a huge stink pile in his own backyard.
I agree that all Castleton had to do was win the Conference, but to blame the collapse of the Interlock solely on Castleton as has been done leads to hijacking the thread to present the evidence. Norwich fans so it all the time - just read the Castleton threads.

The regional advisory committees that have been appointed to assist in the
evaluation of teams throughout the season are:
Division III East
Bruce Delventhal, Plattsburgh State University of New York, chair
Michael McShane, Norwich University
Edward Gosek, State University of New York at Oswego
Lou Izzi, Nichols College
Keith Levinthal, Manhattanville College
Chris Potter, Wesleyan University (Connecticut)
William O’Neill, Salem State University
Jamie Rice, Babson College
Looks as though we'd have to ask Mr. Levinthal.
