Re: UConn @ Cornell (MSG), 11/26/2022 - 1 year ago
If I’m not mistaken, Grady Whittenburg is doing the commentary, solo, from a remote location (Lynah???) with the same video feed as is being shown on ESPN+. If so, he’s a miracle worker.by brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Opponents News 2: Hockey's the Reason for the Season - 6 years ago
If I'm not mistaken we recently clinched home ice advantage in the playoffs. Since the theoretical maximum league points by the 9th place team is 22 (in an absurd situation where there's a 12-way tie at 22 points), by passing that mark against Harvard we guaranteed at least 8th place. Realistically there's probably a way to model out the point at which everyone ending with a 22 point tie becomesby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Jamie Russell out at Michigan Tech - 13 years ago
I knew someone who went to Michigan Tech - he said that they'd hop in the car to go to Florida for spring break and celebrate when they saw "welcome to Ohio" because they knew they were more than 1/3 of the way there.by brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Schafer should resign ... - 13 years ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 For those of you new to the board, Facetimer is a well known troll. Don't encourage him. Let this discussion just die. Yeah, sorry about that. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and an opportunity to back up his whine with a real argument. Obviously he can't - he was just trumpeting his grudge, wherever it comes from. Sorry for feeding the trolls.by brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Schafer should resign ... - 13 years ago
Facetimer I refer you to my original post about playing the scholarship/academic standards card. I'm obviously not tied to Dennehey - you asked for a name, and he was the first one that came to mind. Like I said, however, somewhere in the Athletic department, somebody should be having a conversation just like this. I doubt they are satisfied with Schafer's performance this year, nor should theby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Schafer should resign ... - 13 years ago
Facetimer Your putting a little too much emphasis on his record, wouldn't you say? His abysmal record makes his accomplishments at Merrimack College that much more impressive. Your asked for a name of someone who could do a better job recruiting, developing talent, etc. Not who has the best record among active coaches. You're gonna have a bad record if you coach bad teams in a good conferenceby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Schafer should resign ... - 13 years ago
So Schafer should resign so that we can hire a guy with a career coaching record of 70-141-26? Who's enjoying his first season with a winning record as a coach - ever? Schafer, in a building year, has a team currently tied for 3rd in the league and gets a bad quote in the Sun (I don't happen to believe that myself, but let's go with it), and for that should get taken out back and shot. But anoby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Schafer should resign ... - 13 years ago
Facetimer As discussed elsewhere in this forum, Schafer's post game comments after the surprising Harvard loss were inappropriate and reflect poorly on the University and the hockey program. Accordingly, I think the time has come for a coaching change. Schafer is a good coach, but not a great coach. He's delivered a lot of bridesmaids, but never the bride. With all the talent he's had over theby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Blame it on the fans? - 13 years ago
Towerroad Jim - I think you are being a bit enthusiastic we have not beaten Yale since Nov of 2007 Well, that does it then... proof positive, fire the bum!by brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Harvard 4, Cornell 3, Final - 13 years ago
(1) It's Schafer, not "Shaffer" (2) I think firing the coach with the second highest winning percentage and the lowest losing percentage in the ECAC would be unlikely and unwise (3) Schafer's quote, while heated, falls short of "blaming the game on the fans". Argue about whether or not the fish tradition is good or bad, or whether or not there's been too much tacit support oby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Interesting article in today's NYT - 13 years ago
Roy82, The agencies that buy research from Cornell put a lot of stipulations on those funds, but (generally) education is not one of them. Many of these contracts are won by competitors of Cornell that have no educational programs at all, or ones that only educate graduate students. NSF, for example, requires a small portion of their awards to be used for outreach - and that's why Ithaca hasby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Interesting article in today's NYT - 13 years ago
Interesting conversation. To open up a different can of worms: 1. As long as the market is reasonably free (no monopoly, collusion or forced transactions) I don't feel that a seller using price discrimination to maximize their economic outcome is a bad thing, even if it is "simply" to maximize profits. As long as the buyer is free to choose to purchase or not to purchase, why shoulby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: vs. Brown - 14 years ago
Roeszler! 3-1 Cornell. Brown scored from a scrum in front of the Cornell net at the top of the period.by brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: vs. Brown - 14 years ago
Felt like a slow start to the period. 2-0 after one is great, but it feels like more of a negative reflection on Brown than a positive one on Cornell.by brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Clarkson Pregame - 14 years ago
Al - a very good point and I am interested to read some post-game reporting with coach quotes to see of there's any more color there. I had not been to Cheel before and found it to be a strange place. To encourage the Golden Knights of Clarkson University the fans cheer "go tech", which is not their name, and blow a train whistle. It's befuddling - did the golden knight ride on theby brealy_myers - Hockey
Re: Clarkson Pregame - 14 years ago
No handshake post-game, either. I suppose that wa due to all the Clarkson penalties, although I found it to be surprising - maybe it was just the crowd but it didn't feel like an egregiously scrappy game.by brealy_myers - Hockey

Re: (somebody else do the game thread) - 14 years ago
Oh my no they are showing the kid no mercy. "hey Andy Iles, Joe Wilson, former principal of Ithaca High called, and he said..." CU 2 USA 3 with 11 left in the third - CU on the pk.by brealy_myers - Hockey
