its going to be interesting to see this play out.. we have no idea if the team has been sick or practicing through all of this. Will they even be allowed to go?

Probably won't affect Stienberg much.

Really? I never figured he was an MOT.

After months of negotiation with the authorities, a Talmudist
from Odessa was finally granted permission to visit Moscow.

He boarded the train and found an empty seat. At the next stop,
a young man got on and sat next to him. The scholar looked at the young
man and he thought: This fellow doesn't look like a peasant, so if he is
no peasant he probably comes from this district. If he comes from this
district, then he must be Jewish because this is, after all, a Jewish
district. But on the other hand, since he is a Jew, where could he be
going? I'm the only Jew in our district who has permission to travel
to Moscow. Ahh, wait! Just outside Moscow there is a little village
called Samvet, and Jews don't need special permission to go to Samvet

But why would he travel to Samvet? He is surely going to visit one of
the Jewish families there.

But how many Jewish families are there in Samvet? Aha, only two -- the
Bernsteins and the Steinbergs.

But since the Bernsteins are a terrible family, so such a nice looking
fellow like him, he must be visiting the Steinbergs.

But why is he going to the Steinbergs in Samvet? The Steinbergs
have only daughters, two of them, so maybe he's their son-in-law.

But if he is, then which daughter did he marry? They say that Sarah
Steinberg married a nice lawyer from Budapest, and Esther married a
businessman from Zhitomer, so it must be Sarah's husband. Which means
that his name is Alexander Cohen, if I'm not mistaken.

But if he came from Budapest, with all the anti-Semitism they
have there, he must have changed his name. What's the Hungarian
equivalent of Cohen? It is Kovacs. But since they allowed him to change
his name, he must have special status to change it. What could it be?
Must be a doctorate from the University. Nothing less would do.

At this point, therefore, the Talmudic scholar turns to the young
man and says, "Excuse me. Do you mind if I open the window, Dr.
Kovacs?"

"Not at all," answered the startled co-passenger. "But how is it
that you know my name?"

"Ahhh," replied the Talmudist, "It was obvious."

Nobody knows Talmudist jokes anymore...

Can anyone tell me why the venue for the ASU game is named the Oceanside Ice Arena? Arizonans trying to be ironic?

billhoward
(There is ticket exchange section here as well but it's been pretty quiet there, might be nobody would look.)

billhoward
I always thought as a kid that irony was invented with my generation. Millenials, Gen Z, most likely felt the same way. Although Ben Franklin was good with irony.

Thanks Larry!

some lazy passing has ruined a few pretty good chances but for a month off playing pretty well

Also set up a couple very risky chances for ASU. Same mistakes we were making in the last 10 minutes at Clarkson.

ASU has some talented and speedy forwards and we'll have to keep the sloppy passes to a minimum.

Good adjustments by ASU, now we need to do the same.

considering the ecac this yr we have to play lights out thru the conf schedule to get any chance at a PWR at large bid. need to at least go 2-2 in these 4 games to help that out.

This happens almost every year so give these guys a break.

This just isn't gonna happen. Our chance at the NC$$ is the ECAC title, and the ECAC title is itself a goal worthy of a season.

We will have our chances in the future after the conference gets back on its feet post-plague, but for this year and probably next year, just enjoy the ride and then hope for a nice little run to give us a chance in Placid.

Huh? It is certainly more like Cornell earns an at-large bid than that they win the ECAC. Cornell is currently 18th in the pairwise. They need only to slightly exceed their start to this season (6-1-4 against poor competition) the rest of the way to earn an at-large bid.

They aren't going to run the table, they have been very lucky. We act like it's just a given they'll go .900 down the stretch. They won't -- even as a good team team they will go something like 13-5, and that's assuming they don't have a tough skein.

Funny listening to the announcers repeat again and again who on ASU was drafted by whom. Dude, we get it already. Though, it is a little concerning ASU, which is in literal Arizona, started a D-1 hockey program seven years ago and has more draft picks (6) than Cornell (4), when we've been a top-5 program in the country the past five years.

yeah can't believe anyone would want a scholarship to go to a party school where you never need a coat

By far the worst goaltending at Cornell since '06-'07.

More worried that this bears no resemblance to any type of Cornell system.

Hilarious that the PBP guy talked about ASU maybe being able to “impress the committee”for an NCAA bid.

Not too often you see a goalie give up three soft goals and zero good goals. The feed sucked so it was hard to tell for certain, but those goals looked ugly.

I’m not as down about Howe’s performance as you evidently are. There were other aspects of our game that concerned me more.

I don't think Cornell even played particularly badly other than the goaltending. Possession was approximately even, on the road, first game back from break. Cornell whiffed on or hit posts on several grade-A chances. Three soft goals were the difference.
