I like to have some fun with it.

Seconded. I texted him asking him to yell "HI GRANT!!!!" which he claims he did, but I didn't hear it :(
 
Re: This Week in Hockey East

Short week, this week with BC and NU only having 1 game apiece (probably resting up for the Beanpot ;)). Go ahead and get this weeks in and I will work on the tabulation of last week this evening.

Not confident at all about the UNH/UVM picks neither has looked good when I've seen them... and bu/bc I will actually have to root for bu? I need to go to confession for this mortal sin.

Can we get a season total to this point legs?

I was planning to do this at the end of January but if it gives you extra motivation for this week....:D

I guess with that user name, HockeyTeacher can't help but be in first!! The first number is the number of games right out of the 86 games played by HockeyEast teams thus far.

HockeyTeacher..................55.............64%
OnMAA.............................54.............63%
NUWH Doghouse.................52.............60%
Slewfoot...........................45.............60% (out of 75 games)
mattj711...........................51.............59%
Hockeyfan 111...................50.............58%
Joe Hockey.......................50...............58%
gc2.................................48..............56%
TTT20.............................48..............56%
scrambledlegs....................45..............52%
DC...................................43.............50%
bleedblue...........................33.............49% (out of 67 games)
Hux.................................28..............42% (out of 67 games)

Are our numbers (compared to the ECAC posters pool) lower due to the unpredictability of HockeyEast or just the volume of games :confused: Discuss...

Volume doesn't really have anything to do with it. Both leagues have a pretty high volume of games, from what I see in their thread.

Their lowest score amongst "full time" pickers is 58.2%... that's a decent score in our league. And look at the common denominators:

HockeyTeacher: ECAC 70%, HEA 64%
OnMAA: ECAC 67.9%, HEA 63%
mattj711: ECAC 71.5%, HEA 63%
Slewfoot: ECAC 65.1%, HEA 60%
DC: ECAC 60.2%, HEA 50%

There have been a large number of games in both leagues... The difference in % between the leagues has to be well within the realm of statistically significant, and I can't imagine it's even close. No, to me, this points to the unpredictability of HEA.

I should whip out my old stats book and run some significance numbers on this. I'm curious.

Heh... first I thought you were a BU fan, then I realized you just used my post and edited the picks :p

I suspect that the Cornell affect may have something to do with this. Take out all the Cornell games and you get a different view. There are more teams in the ECAC, and there are a couple of clear echelons, Echelon one being Cornell on an island.

Sorry for stealing your thunder! And thank you to NU for 29% of my correct answers.

And I guess I love this unpredictability! I know I felt all kinds of happy when I correctly identifited that UNH would beat BU!

Maybe it's just the area...aren't a number of the underdog stories centered around Boston?? :p

I picked UNH as well, though I wouldn't so much say I felt "happy" to have chosen right (certainly happy to see the ratdogs go down in flames, as has become common) as much as I felt "smug." :cool:
 
Re: This Week in Hockey East

So if I follow eggs statistical analysis, jump into the HE pool, don't pick any obvious favorites ... Alright, game on:
