Have you ever wondered if it's possible to hate a coaching staff more? Rumor in the rinks is Rick Bennett to Quinnipiac— Mark Divver (@MarkDivver) July 1, 2024by pfibiger - Hockey
Re: Recruits 2024 and Beyond - 2 months ago
Redpucks1! New commit!!! According to Chris Heisenberg Cornell picked up Maddex Marmulak from Nova Scotia. He is a right shot forward that can play center or right wing and was the league MVP of the Nova Scotia U18 Major Hockey League. According to Heisenberg he will be coming to CU in either 2026 or ‘27. Not sure where he will be playing next season. Might be playing in Cedar Rapids next sby pfibiger - Hockey
Re: Mike Schafer retiring 2025 - 2 months ago
adamw Casey Jones is a home run in this scenario - everyone knows it - and I assure you, I would never say or think otherwise. Casey is the best candidate for the job by a factor of 10 million. I’m thrilled that Casey is an alum and a successful coach and a demonstrated great recruiter and coached here previously — he feels like the perfect choice to me. My visibility to what a really wideby pfibiger - Hockey
Re: Mike Schafer retiring 2025 - 2 months ago
BearLover ugarte BearLoverI guess Syer understood he wasn’t going to be the next head coach, and so he left? He wasn't the only one who understood this! This hypothetical person you’re thinking of who posted Syer wouldn’t be the next head coach—such a person would have more credibility if he didn’t, in that very same post, also say Casey wouldn’t be the next head coach! There is no one better tby pfibiger - Hockey
Re: Announcement Today, 4:50pm EDT - 2 months ago
underskill Meh. Casey Jones is underwhelming Totally disagree. He was a great recruiter at Cornell, has done well with a program in a tough spot at Clarkson. I think he can be great.by pfibiger - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 4 months ago
Dafatone BearLover adamw I should probably just shut up - but I'm not good at that. I think Ben Syer and Topher are great guys. Neither will be the next coach. Casey Jones is one of my favorite people in hockey, and I think he's a great coach. However, he's only 4 years younger than Coach Schafer - and so it won't be him either. I’d be curious to hear adamw’s response to the CHN report that Syby pfibiger - Hockey

Well that was a spectacular game. There was no let up the entire time, particularly from the moment the five minute major started.by pfibiger - Hockey

Trotsky No, we're forechecking and working every puck. This is not a turtle. We really are getting sticks on every puck in every zone.by pfibiger - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 6 months ago
BearLover adamw upprdeck well sometime in the next 2-10 yrs we will have to find out what a diff coach can.. I doubt he will be here when he is 70 so the window is probably even smaller. I'm going to go out on a really short limb and say that the odds of finding another coach that does as good a job, are about 5%. Umm, considering it’s probably going to be Syer, it will be much higher than 5%.by pfibiger - Hockey
Re: Odds of winning 2024 NCAAs - 7 months ago
Trotsky I'm curious, is Schafer on the record? If he has a strong lean then fine I'm with him. Literally one page back when you and Adam were sniping at each other he said: “ At least 75% of current head coaches want neutral sites - and the No. 1 advocate for that is Cornell's.” I’m not sure if that counts as on the record — but with Adam’s role I’m sure they’ve discussed it.

Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 7 months ago
Trotsky Kariya would have just played somewhere else. I always wondered who else recruited him. He did come out of BC when the McCutcheon pipeline was at its peak. I saw a couple articles that said he had offers from BU, BC, and Harvard and was being recruited by a pile of schools.by pfibiger - Hockey

RichH David Harding Kilpatrick's Pub downtown is closing, to be replaced by another (unnamed) "pub-style establishment" in a few months. Not the Finger lakes Beverage Center too!! That’s a loss I’ll feel. That was a great shop. Ugh. I stopped in there every summer. The selection was so much better than wegmans or p&c. That sucks.by pfibiger - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: Cornell Hockey Jerseys? - 10 months ago
Iceberg Chris '03 ugarte Trotsky They strip the names and numbers off which sucks.Back then it was just names that came off. I chose #2 for Ratushny but you can tell from the size of the ghost of the old nameplate in the removed stitching that it had been Travis Bell's Names and captaincy letters came off. Sometimes they took the ecac patch off too I think. I have one I bought as a student anby pfibiger - Hockey
Re: game chat on slack (invite inside) - 10 months ago
dag14 And all because I said I missed the eLynah chat. Why can't that be resuscitated? Forgive me my ignorance if there was an obvious issue or an announcement that accompanied the discontinuation that I missed. My excuse is that I am getting old and am not as sharp as I used to be. It became impossible for Age to maintain — I forget if there was a bug or it was a vector for attacking elynahby pfibiger - Hockey
Re: game chat on slack (invite inside) - 10 months ago
I’m not suggesting moving away from elynah — in the brown thread people were pining about missing elynah chat and had rejoined the slack we had a few years ago. I just wanted to make the invite link visible in case people wanted it.by pfibiger - Hockey
game chat on slack (invite inside) - 10 months ago
Looks like we unearthed and semi-resuscitated the slack-based game chat. Here's the link for anyone who wants to join next weekend: Given that Elon Musk ruined Age's live tweeting games, this is both great to chat during the games and for following the game when you're stuck at an event and can't watch video.by pfibiger - Hockey

Dunc Jeff Hopkins '82 Trotsky dag14 I miss the eLynah chat.Gotta be some IM tool we could use. But I am only a caveman. Anybody familiar with Discord? I don't know how to set it up, but if somebody does, it could work. I love discord - I can help set one up I set up the slack a while ago. It was largely abandoned but I’m happy to set up more admins and get it going again if people want.by pfibiger - Hockey
Re: Recruits 2023 and beyond - 10 months ago
Redpucks1! 2. William Moore - NTDP U17 team for the 2023-'24 season. Elite Prospects lists him as hailing from Mississauga, Ontario but the USA Hockey U17 roster lists him as being from Ithaca. (Not certain but think his father may be a Cornell professor so that may be the reason behind listing Ithaca as his hometown). Looks like his grandfather was a Cornell professor and his father is anby pfibiger - Hockey

Re: 2023 NCAA 1R: Cornell vs Denver - 1 year ago

Trotsky I have been surprised at how bad Grady has been this year. When he was the radio guy for Cornell he was amazing but years of pro video really developed terrible derp habits. He's essentially an ESPN broadcaster now. Up close and personal garbage. I love the guy, but woof. Grandy keeps saying that Ondrej Psenicka is from Russia. Is there some expansion of the Russian aggression I haby pfibiger - Hockey
