Re: Cornell v Colgate, 12/02/23 - Yesterday
I couldn't see much of the game but from what little I saw and what I've read here, I'm glad I didn't. At least they'll have a few weeks of too reset before the tournament at Lake Placid and ultimately a few games against OOC opponents away from Lynahby Iceberg - Hockey

billhoward Color man was the dark, silent type. Very silent, all game long. Colgate: You can't find a former player, a student with Newhouse School aspirations, somebody who'll offer some insights like "that was some kinda play"? Has he ever had a color commentator? In all the games I've listened to him, I can't recall if there ever has been one on the Colgate broadcastby Iceberg - Hockey

Refs fail to call a clear interference penalty and a Colgate goal happens right after because of course.by Iceberg - Hockey

Steve M I'm going to both games, but haven't bought tickets yet. Anyone know if the Cornell alumni association has a block of tickets, and how to get them if they did? It has been almost 15 years since I've been to a Cornell game. I live in California. You should contact one of the club leads. The last time the team played at ASU, there were definitely people from the alumni association whoby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 9 days ago
andyw2100 BearLover I meant televised on actual TV. The games on ESPN+ tend to have one commercial timeout per period. Games on actual TV tend to have three commercial timeouts per period (at least pro games and college games in the NCAA tournament). Tonight’s game had three per period. Speaking about the ads, why were there no Cornell ads? In the past, the school ads were split evenly betweenby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 9 days ago
arugula Thoughts about Caron? It was an interesting reversal. In the past two years we would dominate Brown and Caron would keep them close. Today BU mostly controlled the first two half of the game and Shane kept us close. Caron played well but Shane was definitely better. The former has gotten some criticism from BU folks this season and I'm not convinced he doesn't give up more goals if Coby Iceberg - Hockey

The games at MSG always have additional stoppages due to broadcast commercials. Definitely not a Hockey East thingby Iceberg - Hockey

I wonder who starts in net on Saturday at MSG given last night's result. I will not guess this time but BearLover is free to do soby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Princeton 11/18/23 - 17 days ago
I didn't think the team created a lot of good opportunities in the game. Smith faced a lot of shots but most weren't anything particularly threatening. He had a few very good saves (e.g. near the end of the major) but the biggest failure of the game was the inability to do anything on the multiple extra-man opportunities. Princeton was content to trap the whole game and while they did actually plby Iceberg - Hockey

Re: Cornell @ Princeton 11/18/23 - 17 days ago
HeafDog This is probably the smallest CU contingent I've seen at Baker Arena in a very long time. At least several years, if not a decade or more. They sold a lot of seats to local youth players seemingly. They're all on the balcony. Meanwhile, major penalty on Princetonby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Princeton 11/18/23 - 17 days ago
Trotsky The "sell out" looks about 70% full. It's definitely full. Many folks are standing against the walls. Where I'm sitting feels a bit like Lynah South minus the few Princeton folks who seem to personally know the PU goaltenderby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Quinnipiac , 11/17/23 - 18 days ago
The good news is that this team has some skilled forwards who can score. The bad news is that the defense may be a problem during the season against better teams, of which the poor PP is a symptom. Still a lot of season left and there are many young guys on the team but this game should've been closer even with Q clearly having more speed and overall talentby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Quinnipiac , 11/17/23 - 18 days ago
I don't think Koepple has looked that bad given what he's had to face since coming in. And as far as Shane goes, I wasn't just thinking about this game but the two last weekend. Maybe we see him in net at Princeton tomorrow but if Schafer decided to go with Koepple, it wouldn't be particularly groundbreaking or surprising.by Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Quinnipiac , 11/17/23 - 18 days ago
chimpfood Wow these quinnipiac announcers piss me off The one guy whom they have in the booth (the student player) this period is at least knowledgeable about goaltending but the PBP guy is somethingby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Princeton 11/18/23 - 18 days ago
billhoward Seats for the visiting team are typically in the Princeton balcony. In the past 3 decades, I've gotten tickets blocks with the Cornell club a couple times, always balcony, and once as visitor tickets, also balcony, we've gotten standing room tickets night-of-game until 5 years ago, now bought standing room a week in advance, and always found empty seats behind the Cornell bench and cerby Iceberg - Hockey

Re: Cornell @ Princeton 11/18/23 - 18 days ago
Seated tickets have been gone for some time. I know my local alumni association bought a block early on and that sold out quickly. I'll be at the game and I fully expect there to be a ton of Cornell people. Great to have it be the last game before MSG, tooby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Fish N Fowl 11/11/23 - 24 days ago
shafer Mullahy has been the better goalie, even as our shots haven’t tested him enough. As long as I've been watching these Harvard/Cornell games, it's the same story of a random Harvard goalie looking better than he typically is. Very rarely is Cornell running away with a lead in these games. Meanwhile, that's 0-5-2 in the last 7 against Harvard if the broadcast is to be believed.by Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Fish N Fowl 11/11/23 - 24 days ago
ER Shane has given up two soft goals that I saw coming. Not sure what is going on with him He didn't look great on either goal but his defense needs to be better. I don't know what the PK was doing on Gaffney's rush. This is definitely one of the weaker Harvard teams in a while, but they're outplaying the home team. That needs to change in the next two periodsby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: 11/10 Dartmouth game thread - 25 days ago
On the broadcast, it definitely looked like the shot changed direction and went higher than Shane expected it to. I thought it hit a Dartmouth player's stick but maybe not. It certainly wasn't cleanby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: 11/10 Dartmouth game thread - 25 days ago
Trotsky Seger pantsed Cooper Black. A bigger goalie like that is always going to be susceptible at the five hole. No surprise both goals were low. And given the appearance of the league this year, I could see Dartmouth being in the running for a bye if things go their way. They don't play in Hanover again for a while (tonight was the first of seven consecutive away games), but they shouldby Iceberg - Hockey
Re: Cornell Hockey Jerseys? - 27 days ago
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 and thankfby Iceberg - Hockey
