COVID revealed an underlying heart problem so he'll be out for a few more weeks. Got a stent put in and looks like he'll be OK.

Was it one of those things where COVID saved his life?

hard to say of course but it probably got something detected sooner than it otherwise would have been.Trotsky

got me thinking about adam frey, a cornell wrestler ~15 years ago who was a 5-star recruit and considered a moderate disappointment because he appeared to have trouble managing his weight. he got in a very bad car accident and at the hospital learned that the probable cause of his troubles was a massive undetected malignant tumor in his stomach (can't exercise that off). the discovery probably extended his life, but, sadly not by very much.

I remember Frey kept a blog during the time he was undergoing treatment, and it was heart wrenching to read his posts. Such a tragedy.

IMO the UND sweep made up for that. The worse sin was looking bad against the bad Ivy teams not named "Yale".

Jay-zus, I don't like hearing that a guy a year older than me needs a "cardiac" anything. Take care, Coach, and get well soon.

I hear no mention of a heart attack. So, Mike is lucky that they found & "fixed" a blockage without him suffering heart damage. All the best, Mike .

Somebody, somewhere on the dark side of the web is going to repost the above with a comment, "Now even Ivy League wiseasses admit Covid causes fatal heart attacks. I saw this on the Cornell sports medicine internet. Remember, Fauci, the Italian spelling for Faust, went to medical school in Ithaca, New York."blackwidow

Seems quite possible that the team's recent swoon is directly related to Coach Schaefer's health issues and long absence. The players are young adults, teens and young 20-somethings, and they are a super tight-knit crew, as Cornell hockey teams always are. So it would be no surprise if they have been shaken deeply by Coach's health issues. No way is that an excuse for their very sub-par play against some of college hockey's lowest-ranked teams, but it is quite possibly the cause and something everybody should consider when analyzing the team and it's performance.

Nobody will care about the current slump if we finish the year with 8 straight wins.

So you want us to finish out of the top four of the ECAC, sweep to the ECAC title, and the make it to and lose in the Frozen Four?!

How do we lose in the FF if we finish with 8 straight wins?

Time for a "Win One for the Gipper" speech. With our luck, it'll perk up the play by Galajda.
Yeah, I know the roles got reversed. And Ronald Reagan never broke a hockey stick over his head. But maybe the Germans did bomb Pearl Harbor.

Just to be clear, they got rid of the ECAC consolation game, right?

No third-place game for the ECAC or NCAA tournament championship weekends. So in the ECAC, by definition you'll be NCAA champ: Everyone makes the ECACs, not just the top eight, so some backmarker isn't going to win a meaningless game that lets them finish 11th not 12th and then hang up their skates.Dafatone

There used to be consolations. That's how Cornell finished third in the 1968 championship, by beating BC 6-1 after losing to North Dakota. That was Ken Dryden's junior year.

Note that St. Lawrence finished with a win last season. Come to think of it, so did Clarkson.
