2019 Achievements (Team and Individual)

With the Ivy title, Cornell climbs to within 2 of Harvard, despite spotting them 8.

With the Ivy title, Cornell climbs to within 2 of Harvard, despite spotting them 8.

How did you decide when we started playing for the Ivy Championship? Is that what you mean by "spotting them 8"?

You have us starting in 63. However we certainly played Ivies before that.

The Ivy League as a sports conference was formed in 1954.

I'm not sure what your meaning is. What I mean is that Harvard won 8 Ivy titles before we won our first. Whether we were playing or not was immaterial.

Thanks for explaining. I thought that you were referring to Harvard winning titles before we were even playing.

As a side issue, is there a reason that you list our Ivy games starting in 63? Maybe just not enough time to do it all?

Here I list us as starting with the resumption of the program.

Did I do it someplace else from 63 on? I am, as is usual for me, confused.

AHA! I get it! You mean this.

I'm going to have to go back and look. I assume we were playing Ivy games in 59-62 and have no idea why I didn't mark them as such. Unless I remember my reason it's a simple mistake which you have just helped me correct! Thanks.

Yeah that's what I meant. I should have linked it for you. But that's why I was wondering if you meant championships before we were playing Ivies.

Glad we got it figured out.

Some career milestones:

Vanderlaan has 91 points.

Galajda has 33 wins, 3 behind Darren Eliot for Cornell 15th all-time. He's still at 12 SO, one behind Dryden for 3rd Cornell all-time.

Cornell leads the conference with 37 GA, Clarkson has 38. If we can hold the lead we will finish with the best ECAC D for the 2nd straight season and the 8th of Schafer's 23-year coaching career.

Cornell has a shot at finishing with the best offense in the ECAC if we outscore Harvard by at least 13 this weekend.

We have been best offense 1 time in the last 41 seasons.

If I'm reading that correctly, Schafer has never lost more than 2 ECAC home games and won the Whitelaw in the same season?

Schafer wins the best D in the ECAC for the 8th time in the last 19 seasons.

And yet, some people want him fired whenever we don’t win a national championship. Duuuuuumbbbbbbb

pretty clear this year had we not been so injured across the board we probably win the league by 5-7 pts..

the late game and sat night struggles to the bad teams really pts to depth issues.

but they fought thru it and now 2 weeks to work on figuring out how to win 2 at home

pretty clear this year had we not been so injured across the board we probably win the league by 5-7 pts

We'd more than likely have won one of our ties and thus won the league, at any rate.

With Andreev returning we will have everybody back and healthy except Cody and Misha ("Cody and Misha" sounds like an undercard donkey act in Tijuana), so anyway we mostly timed our injuries right.

Healthy enough to play, at least.

A little bird told me he was probably already "healthy enough to play" this weekend but Schafer held him out just to be sure. Assuming he has been skating with the team and was cleared to play, with another two weeks he could be more than just Barely Minimally Compliant.

I'm just really glad they all have some rest.

Galajda's 13th career shut out ties him with Dryden for 3rd all-time at Cornell. Dryden did it in 83 games. Galajda in 54.

There was a time when a goalie looked like a human, with legs, arms, and a recognizably human form. A save required moving a glove, a stick, a blocker, or a leg. No more. Today a goalie is so padded he just stands in the way. A snapped glove save causes wonderment in an announcer.

Compare any photo of Dryden in a Cornell or Montreal uniform with any goalie today. No wonder it's so difficult to score anymore, and why teams like this year's RPIs and Colgates can hang in with and beat much better teams even though dominated on the ice.

for all the complaining i dont know why they dont reduce goalie pads to just what is needed for safety. Same with the glove.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but isn't it possible that to some extent the bigger goalie pads are offsetting the advances made in stick design? I would have to think that with today's composite sticks the players are shooting harder and with more accuracy than they were fifty years ago with wooden sticks. Just a thought.

It's not my fault that Pha and Pgh look normal to me.

The only one I really don't like is Cgt, and I couldn't come up with anything better (Col is too Columbia; Clg ... I dunno). To be honest, Crl or Cnl would probably be better for us, but alea iacta est.

Just you wait until Qpc leaves and we admit HyC (HCr? HCs?). Ah, fuck it, I have BC, I can have HC.

At least we don't have Mercyhurst.

In 1976, we considered naming our son after Ken Dryden. We decided that it would be unfair to give him a name that was significant to us, but might be meaningless to him.

I love how CHN puts this paragraph in as somehow significant to his winning.

McKay has averaged allowing just one goal per game over his last 11 outings, which includes five WCHA playoff games. In the last one, his team fell behind, 2-0, to Bowling Green, before staging a late rally to win in overtime and capture the WCHA Tournament championship.

So he averaged one goal per game, but somehow it's important that in his last game he put his team behind 2-0.

Of course I'm biased, but for a team that lost 89 player games to injuries to make it to the regional finals is terrific. Schafer should be a national COTY candidate.
