Re: Opponent News 19-20 - 5 weeks ago
DafatoneFeola wasn't the worst, but he had a tendency to ref based on game situation. Don't expect a lot of whistles from him if you're winning. A pet peeve. If it's a penalty when you're behind, it should also be a penalty when you're ahead; similarly, if it's a penalty in the first, it should also be a penalty in the third (or overtime). To respond a bit upthread, I'd rather prefer to seeby Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: Opponent News 19-20 - 5 weeks ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 Jim Hyla Not really an opponent, well sort of, Feola Named Director of Officiating I don't know...he's often seemed like an opponent. I would assume that means he won't be reffing ECAC games anymore? To be honest, that's kind of a loss. Better than most. Still… He'll hopefully bring the rank-and-file back into line and get them to start calling penalties again.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

According to ASU's schedule, we won't be visiting them next year. They've got 36 games (34 + the Alaska exemption) scheduled.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

Re: NCAA Frozen Four 2019 - 3 months ago
Iceberg Duluth is clearly a team that's built and coached to win at the NCAA level. There's no more coincidence at this point They lose three seniors; they return their goalie and all D. Good scoring up and down the lineup. Who knows how many draftees or others they may lose? They could three-peat if everyone stays.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

Trotsky Scersk '9719x6.This is the most oddly specific estimate I have ever seen. Well, in 20x6, we'll just assign the NCAA cham-peen-ship based on overall radness.by Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 3 months ago
nshapiro Trotsky And then there's this. Wow! and his 1960-61 team goes 19-2 and does NOT make the NCSS? What's up with that? Their two losses were to Clarkson and RPI, so their record vs. TUC wasn't all that great. I think that was dropped from the criteria in 19x6.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

One begins to hope that the sirens of pro contracts sing unusually well toward Providence this year. Lots of drafted juniors…by Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 3 months ago
Jeff Hopkins '82As to match-ups for next year, we know there's MSU in Lansing, NMU at Lynah, BU at the Garden (I believe), and then the Vegas tournament. Anybody know who's in that tournament next year besides us? I think both Northern Michigan and BU are going to be in rebuilding mode next year, but those games at Munn are going to be tough. Let's hope the Vegas field is good.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 3 months ago
Scersk '97 QU, like us, loses three big-minute senior D. Make that three seniors and one junior: Rafferty jumped. If they lose Shortridge as well, we might have a situation on our hands hee-ah.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

Natyshak: Nuttle, who played 2 (!) games his freshman year; of the three, he's who we'll miss the most MacFarlane: Andreev, for his explosive skating and the beauty of his passing; hopefully, the team catches up at some point to the most talented passer I've seen for a damn long time Gage: Bauld, who was finally rewarded at the end for all that effort; maybe Malott, who'll probably run away witby Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: Opponent News 18-19 - 3 months ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 nshapiro I didn't get the impression that Mike is a lifer. He seems more beaten down every year Somebody mentioned to me yesterday that Schafer looked really beat down yesterday AM. Besides all the difficulties with injuries, Schafer, if I remember correctly, missed a game earlier in the season in order to attend his brother's funeral.

Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 3 months ago
Great summary. scoop85In the ECAC’s it looks like QU and Clarkson should be pretty strong, although they both will have some big losses (looks like Nico Sturm is leaving Clarkson for the pros). QU, like us, loses three big-minute senior D.by Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: Cornell - Providence - 3 months ago
scoop85FWIW, Schafer said after the game McGrath has been playing hurt and will have surgery next week. Jesus. I guess all this misfortune finally ends. One hopes the hockey gods might smile on us after this season.by Scersk '97 - Hockey
Re: Cornell - Providence - 3 months ago
upprdeck NE finished ahead of Prov, lets hope that means something and that the title goes thru Hockey east Yeah, Providence blew a home quarterfinal to BC. Besides playing at home, basically, they looked enormously fresher than Mankato or we did. I'll reiterate what I've said before and elsewhere: Teams that blow quarterfinal series shouldn't be in the national tournament. Can't make theby Scersk '97 - Hockey

Re: Cornell - Northeastern - 3 months ago
RichH Nobody wants to go to a game where a team gets blown away, save for one team's fans. Honestly, I find the rare blowout that we execute somewhat boring as well, unless it's against (in order of ascending glee): Dartmouth, for the Gaudet lulz Colgate, for historical reasons SLU, to stick it to those dumb, rich kids and some of the league's most annoying home fans Yale, because we owe tby Scersk '97 - Hockey

NCAA Day 2 (March 30) - 3 months ago
It’s nice to have a short thread to discuss the day. Let’s do that here, with the exception of the most important game, of course. Let’s hope that ASU takes down Q today. I can easily cheer for Clarkson, and I even found myself pulling for Harvard briefly yesterday, but I hate, hate the Bobcats and all they stand for. The other game in our regional should provide very good intel onby Scersk '97 - Hockey

Re: Bracketology 2019 - 3 months ago
RichH I'm rooting for the scenarios where Union gets an at-large bid, considering some of their players have already signed pro contracts. Luckily, this requires us winning tomorrow. Northeastern has to win to get there as well. So boneheaded! This result would be hilarious.by Scersk '97 - Hockey

Re: Lake Placid 2019 Roll Call - 3 months ago
billhoward A part of me still believes women-in-national semifinals merits a true fan's attendance more than men in the Eastern semifinals. But Hampden has probably been booked solid for months. Mystique of the NCAA and all. Today, choices must be made.

Re: List of all current Band Songs? - 3 months ago
upprdeck league told the band they could bring 40 and the AD said no 25.. Many schools' ADs and others use this mythical 25-person rule as a means to cut costs. It's pathetic.by Scersk '97 - Hockey
