Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
BearLoverIt's been so long since we have been the best (in 2010 we only won the ECAC because Yale got upset earlier) that we have much bigger things to worry about than how well our rivals are doing. Exactly.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
Trotsky BearLover Kyle Rose W00t! Go Yale! Now, let's make it an all-ECAC final. This makes absolutely no sense to me. And rooting against the ECAC in the NCAAs makes absolutely no sense to me. It's just two different ways of viewing things. De gustibus non est disputandum. Now go Q, go! QFT.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Frozen Four Results - 11 years ago
BearLover Kyle Rose W00t! Go Yale! Now, let's make it an all-ECAC final. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I hope you're happy when all the hockey players who care about getting an education start going to Yale instead of Cornell (if they haven't started already). I hope you're happy that the team which has caused Cornell more hardship over the past six years than any other is on the verby Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: Cornell @ Harvard Lax - Pannell on his goal - 11 years ago
ugarte Kyle Rose I cannot tell what he did. Even in slow-mo, it's just not clear. I need another angle. Here's the full sequence: Pannell runs out in front of the goal, then spins back, breaking toward the corner. When he gets to a 45 degree angle from the goalie's left, with his back to the goal and FACING away from the goal, with a defender on his shoulder he slams on the brakes.

Re: Should He Stay or Should He Go - 11 years ago
css228Two who's the best player Schafer has produced? Murray? Easiy take Matt Carle over that. I might go with Matt Moulson now. I never would have thought that in 2006. And despite eyebrow power, it pains me to say this because he's on the freakin' *Islanders*. Sigh. At least he doesn't play for the Devils.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Future of NCAA Regionals - 11 years ago
Chris '03 That then opens the next pandora's box. Do you regionalize the regionals in the name of attendance? I don't like this any more than tournament home games... but, I bet you'd have greater attendance if you knew the site your team was playing well in advance. If all eastern teams are slotted to Albany, then it's easy for fans of teams to get hotel rooms and buy tickets early. No waitingby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Future of NCAA Regionals - 11 years ago
I don't know if it would matter. Even when held at Lynah, the ECAC QFs regularly draw fewer fans than regular season games do. I think the problem with the regionals is that they're regionals. I would never travel a long distance to a regional because even if my team wins... it's only halfway to the prize. Screw that: I'll save my travel money and time for the Frozen Four, thankyouverymuch. The dby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: NCAA Tournament - 11 years ago
BearLover Not sure why people here want Yale to keep winning. A rising tide lifts all boats. I'm sick and tired of Cornell playing down to an also-ran league. And guess what? That isn't the case right now, and hopefully the ECAC can keep it up and continue to embarrass Hockey Least. Suck it, BC.by Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: Should He Stay or Should He Go - 11 years ago
BearLover Absolutely ridiculous overreaction to my last post. And it's not the disagreement that bothers me; it's the trite smartass "no one can possibly be this dumb, he must be a troll" comments that twelve-year-olds go around posting on the internet. I never said at any point I wouldn't follow the team if they were bad. I said I wouldn't follow them as much, and I wouldn't comby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Should He Stay or Should He Go - 11 years ago
TrotskyI'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's kidding. And I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are being perverse in arguing a point for pleasure. "Mediocrities everywhere, I absolve you." You win. I admit you are a better fan than I am. Next.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Should He Stay or Should He Go - 11 years ago
DafatoneThat being said, ditching a team for not winning is, obviously, lame. And yet, neither I nor BearLover offered anything like "ditching team". Your straw man is burning.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Should He Stay or Should He Go - 11 years ago
Trotsky I am saying that if I am going to put so much into following the program, I expect them to win. If they are not going to win, I am not going to put as much in to following them. This has to be joking, if not outright trolling. It's as if somebody tried to personify an Onion parody of a Patriots fan posting on Urban Bâby. 4 days short of 4/1, but I aint buying this is a livingby Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: Conference Tournaments / NCAA Bubble - 11 years ago
KeithK Jim Hyla Trotsky Michigan leading 1-0 after 1. Of course. God I hate Michigan. Why, because they're too good? Sort of how the rest of the ECAC used to feel about us? That's pretty much it for me. I could give a bunch of subsidiary reasons like not being willing to travel, etc. but basically it's that they've been too good for too long.

Re: Conference Tournaments / NCAA Bubble - 11 years ago
Jim HylaJust don't make assumptions about my feelings. I'm happy to tell them to you, if you ask. While I am happy to stand corrected on this, I don't think my interpretation of your statement was unreasonable, just wrong as it turned out.

Re: Conference Tournaments / NCAA Bubble - 11 years ago
Jim Hyla U wins, now we have to hear how they are so dominant. You sound like a bitter Red Sox fan talking about the Yankees. Cornell sucked this year and is playing some well-earned golf at the moment. Get over it. The people to blame aren't at Yale: they're at Cornell.by Kyle Rose - Hockey
