upprdeck interesting no cornell kids in there yet? Maybe if the IL doesn't screw things up this year, the guys will decide to stay where their hearts are.by Swampy - Hockey

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
billhoward upprdeck Faceoffs against Dart were bad much of the game but then they caused TO and limited shots too to get the ball back, .. the Dart goalie was saving around 70% to keep them in the game. but we compounded issues with a bad clearing game.. We will not survive against the better teams at under 40% most of the time at the X no matter how well the D plays. Gavin Adler, please stayby Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
scoop85 mike1960 Good game overall. The offense was efficient most of the time and sometimes looked pretty great when they found the open guys in the face of the goal. It was an opportunity to players to work together with first and second line midfields in the absence of Blake. Upward and onward! Yes, but still having trouble on ground balls, which we must improve against stronger competition.by Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
rss77 With Blake and Lombardi out we need to see if some of the underclassman can step up. There are about 50 on the roster-correct? Was watching the Yale-Princeton game and noted that Shay, the Yale coach, was gradually putting some first year players out there, Concerning faceoffs I believe the rules makers goal is to create 50/50 balls with more wing play but what we are seeing is that no mby Swampy - Other Sports

BearLover Scersk '97 scoop85 BearLover Harvard lapping the ECAC in recruiting has come home to roost. Frankly, had last season not been canceled, the 2020-21 Harvard team may been the most talented team in ECAC history post-split with Hockey East. Players who went pro when last season was canceled included Jack Drury, Jack Badini, Jack Rathbone (yes, triple Jack), and Reilly Walsh. Matty Beniersby Swampy - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
upprdeck if a guy takes a FO they he doesnt leave the field until the ball does or the other team gets it back. pretty simple. Personally, I'd like to see a return to c. <1970's when midfielders played two ways. One reason the FOGOs can GO is they're joining the crowd to switch midfielders offense -> defense and vice versa. Back in the old days, a player who took face offs also played aby Swampy - Other Sports

Jim Hyla Greenberg '97 Do we care that Webster Bank Arena is now Total Mortgage Arena? (I don't) Agree, but I'll change it. However I don't understand the name. What's a non-total mortgage? 20% down, 80% mortgage.by Swampy - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
Ken711 djk26 Tougher than expected--I'll take it. Yale and Penn up next. This may be the first year I can remember that our in league games will raise our strength of schedule more than our out of league games. Ivy League is a beast this year, and it is great to see after two lost seasons. I think playing inside because of the weather certainly didn't do Cornell any favors. Glad they won.by Swampy - Other Sports

upprdeck there is no doubt everything the fball team does is recorded inside that place from multiple angles Do you mean the field or the shower?by Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
upprdeck I dont remember but didnt we play them last time inside as well? I'm not sure who "them" is. But on March 8, 2020, Cornell beat #2 PSU 18-17, with Jeff Teat tying the game with 18 seconds left. PSU won the next faceoff, but Cornell gained possession in its defensive zone. It all happened so fast that Petrakis was still on the field. He received a clearing pass and scored theby Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Recruits 2023 and beyond - 2 years ago
RatushnyFan You've got the right team and the right kid. My son is a great hockey player. Ironically he is seeing some interest from two other ECAC teams but no commitments yet. He'll be playing juniors next year, not 100% sure yet. Cornell would definitely be on the wish list but we haven't heard from them. Dan Ratushny was my favorite player by far. My son has a similar game. Good offensby Swampy - Hockey
Re: Andy Noel announces his retirement! - 2 years ago
George64 Swampy Maybe he'll apply for the job. I hate to be so negative about a fellow alum, but if the Peter Principle is to be taken seriously, he’s already plateaued. . Depends on what level you rank AD relative to Head Football Coach. Take, for example, Nick Saban.by Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
scoop85 upprdeck I didnt see from the broadcast.. who was the player who was helped off during the Hobart game? John Lombardi. Someone posted on Fanlax that he has a torn ACL, but I haven't seen anything official. It’s had to tell watching TV, but his injury seemed located more in his ankle. Also, the way it happened seemed to be when two Hobart players fell on him awkwardly. If indeed it isby Swampy - Other Sports

Ken711 David Archer better hope he has a winning season this Fall or it's highly likely it's bye bye under a new AD! ITHACA, N.Y. -- Andy Noel, whose leadership has guided Cornell to unprecedented athletics' success in the 21st century, has announced plans to retire as the Meakem*Smith Director of Athletics and Physical Education.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
mike1960 Chayse is not getting to those midrange shots. Two things contributed to this: He wasn't stopping shots aimed low. Their short sticks were beating ours, and our long sticks were slow to slide and back up the short sticks. In some cases, our long-stick defenders just watched the Hobart shooter shoot.by Swampy - Other Sports

RichH Trotsky JFC it's 6 degrees in Placid right now. Play the ECACs in Vegas. Of course I argue winter weather for winter sports, but what do I know? I guess I’m the weirdo who can actually exist without complaining in cold climates.

Re: Cornell @ Quinnipiac Fri 2/25/22 - 2 years ago
ice Shane played his best game of the season with a shutout on 42 shots. He seems to have adjusted his game and isn't moving out of the crease as much to challenge potential shooters. I think that helped him a lot tonight. It seemed that Q was trying to harass Shane after he had made about 20 stops. At one point in the second period, Bongiovanni needlessly skated right through the creaseby Swampy - Hockey
Re: Recruits 2023 and beyond - 2 years ago
CAS Some of our recruits are putting up big numbers in junior hockey. Dalton Bancroft is leading the OJHL in points/game. Sean Donaldson is leading the BCHL in goals scored. Nick DeSantis is averaging a pt/game in the USHL. Think all 3 of these recruits are coming in the fall. Update: Bancroft is #2 in the OJHL: 2 pts behind the leader, but he has played 3 fewer games.

Ken711 semsox Disappointing how league play has gone, but have to say, I think this team has still exceeded my expectations overall. And with the play of the underclassmen, have to think the next few years we'll be pretty competitive. Yes, they are young team that should develop even more in the future. I hope they be able to recruit more size in the front court going forward though. About aby Swampy - Other Sports

osorojo Stanford is the "Cornell of the west". Leland modeled his university after Ezra's. You can look it up. I’m not questioning this. Leland also offered White the job as founding President, and hired White’s former student — David Star Jordan — after White turned down the job. Just under half the faculty were former Cornell instructors when Stanford opened its doors. But back tby Swampy - Hockey

Scersk '97 upprdeck The only real dumb decision was the lack of control at the top to fix the stupid rules on athletes that the Ivies enforce across the board anyway.. had they at least told the kids how it would be handled on the other end many kids may not have had to transfer and screw up the sports and the academics.
