Re: What are your expectations for success in 13-14 - 11 years ago
KeithK As for pro sports, I've already told you that I rooted for the Red Sox in the '86 series though a lifelong Yankee fan. League loyalty in baseball has largely been eliminated though espeicaly since the leagues don't have much of a unique identity anymore. The American League still has the designated hitter.

Re: Ivy League hockey recruiting - 11 years ago
adamw Furthermore, even though Cornell, Brown and Dartmouth do not have the endowments to do that, they successfully lobbied the Ivy League to allow their athletic programs to match whatever package Princeton, Harvard and Yale are offering. But that's why Chris '03 said: Chris '03It's not a great position to be in for Cornell's recruiting approach to have to be "we want you to come here.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: What are your expectations for success in 13-14 - 11 years ago
Trotskyother than Union and perhaps RPI I don't see any of the incumbents repeating. I'll take that bet: assuming Allain doesn't bolt, Yale finishes in the top 4 next season.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: What are your expectations for success in 13-14 - 11 years ago
BearLover marty This makes me smile. Oh? And why is that? You're happy with the majority of Cornell fans being miserable? Citation needed. Why do you think the majority of Cornell hockey fans are anywhere near miserable with our performance under Coach Schafer? Disappointed at times, yes; but miserable? Yich.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Best ECAC rink - 11 years ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 Ben I can top all of your concrete bunkers: Levien Gym (Columbia basketball) is the worst sporting arena that I've ever visited. Horrible place. Guess you never went to a basketball game in Barton Hall. Mind you. I only went to one, but that was enough. I love the inside of Barton Hall: I am always awed by its size. I think the only room I've ever been in that's larger is in tby Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: Best ECAC rink - 11 years ago
CowbellGuy No mention of Thompson either. Probably the best sightlines I've seen anywhere. Full bowl all the way around, steep incline, good seating, open concourse around the top. Amenities are not stellar, but I'm still a fan. One of the few ECAC arenas (Appleton and Q's being the others) I have not been to. I've heard it's cold in there.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
scoop85 Trotsky I may be saying the same thing, but I would like us to work on getting the puck off the stick one beat quicker. Yale accentuates their team speed by moving the play along quickly. Cornell always seems to be deliberate, if not tentative, so even our fast players (Ryan comes to mind) allow the opponent to reconstitute the defense position and pen them in. One of the best thingsby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Best ECAC rink - 11 years ago
I'll admit I voted for the Whale. It's distinctive but still beautiful (I love the wood planks that make up the roof sheathing), intimate unlike huge new arenaplexes, and I've enjoyed every game I've seen there... meaning I haven't been there since 2006 or so.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Best ECAC rink - 11 years ago
rep2 Would you rather play in a refurb'ed barn or a state of the art facility? QU's rink and complex are impressive. I've sat in the seats and the luxury box section and the only better place I've been is BU's rink. Yeah, I thought about mentioning that. Agganis is amazing. It might not be a loud rink, but it is a fantastic place to watch a hockey game. Every seat is good.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
Jim Hyla dag14 Wow. This is embarrassing. I won't be back to this thread. Ever. If this type of posting spreads, I won't be back to eLynah, a forum I have always admired for the wit and wisdom of the posters, even when I disagreed with them. Thank you. Although I won't go as far as you, the drift of this thread has been atrocious. I don't know which is worse, those that proclaim without anyby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
One other thing: BearLoverin 2010 we only won the ECAC because Yale got upset earlier Time is the great clarifier. I recall the shitstorm I created here for saying exactly the same thing back in 2010.by Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
KeithK WEll, an ECAC team is going to win this year and we'll have the effects of that (good or bad) whether we weanted them or not. Yup: there's nothing I could do about it even if I agreed with ButtLover. At this point, IMO it would be fine if both Q and Yale lost; fortunately for the ECAC, that is not a possible outcome.by Kyle Rose - Hockey

BearLover Kyle Rose BearLover Kyle Rose ALL ECAC, BITCHES. It is unfortunate you derive such pleasure from something that will ultimately hurt Cornell, blah blah blah blah blah blah Get over it. Yale and Quinnipiac (and Union) losing this year would not in any way help Cornell stop sucking. That change has to happen at home. Stop talking in extremes. Cornell doesn't suck.

Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
Jordan 04 Kyle Rose Jordan 04 An all-ECAC final is a nice shove-it in the face of HE and WCHA fans, but it's definitely a tough pill to swallow that a non-Cornell ECAC team will win the title after all we've been through the last 10 years.

Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
No need to repeat what Greg said. I'll just add that Cornell is hardly "a 9th place team" from the perspective of a recruit: Cornell has been the most consistently good team in the conference over the past decade and a half: one off year doesn't change that. By virtue of attracting recruits that would previously not have returned the calls of ECAC recruiters, a stronger conference willby Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
Trotsky BearLoverI simply cannot fathom how you people can actively root for these teams. If it's all based on the premise that it will indirectly help Cornell, I would argue that a)these teams absolutely do not need to win a championship for the ECAC to get recognition, and more importantly, b)it won't help Cornell anyway.
