Refs gotta whistle that sooner, but Shane's shoulder was not close to the puck.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Recruits 2024 and Beyond - 2 days ago
BearLover Pghas pjd8 BearLover RichH BearLover I’ll get yelled at for saying this, but…turns out having five draft picks in your freshman class (maybe six, if Robertson gets picked this year) is a good thing. And, in another one of BearLover’s Classic Takes, the conference being weak this year helped us too…to win a championship, the teams we had to beat were ranked 50th, 29th, and 43rd in the PWby Dafatone - Hockey

I'm just going to consider it encouraging that our losses were almost all games that we could have / should have won.by Dafatone - Hockey

Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 4 days ago
sah67 A few of the Maine posters on USCHO seem to be concerned about us being a bad stylistic matchup for them, but they're also resigned to the same tired old tropes about Cornell being a team of "big slow goons who can't skate and only clutch/grab/obstruct their way to 1-0 or 2-1 wins"(paraphrased). I'm not even convinced we have a discernible "style" this year: we've hadby Dafatone - Hockey

Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 5 days ago
BMac Wow BU got screwed. Overall #2 but sent to grand forks because BC takes Providence as #1 and UMass hosts Springfield. I'm deeply offended that you're mixing up the Dakotas.by Dafatone - Hockey

BearLover ice ugarte Iceberg Well, O'Leary won't have nightmares about the initial empty net miss. Fantastic runafter everyone gets there celebration in... why wasn't that icing on Bancroft? It looked like icing should have been called. Not sure what happened. I assumed because O’Leary was winning the race to the puck? Must be. Looked awfully close to me. No complaints.

Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 6 days ago
Scersk '97 Loved the moment deep in the third where our guys pinned it against the wall in the Dartmouth end for a good 45 seconds. Old time hockey. I usually don't love those. Often feels like you pin it for ten seconds then it squeaks away and the other team has a break out. This one was great, though.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 7 days ago
Holy shit what a comeback. I think. I couldn't tell. Camera couldn't follow the puck. Did we win?by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 7 days ago
I'm struggling to remember the last game I watched with such bad camera work.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 7 days ago
If three guys are gonna go behind the net, they better get the puck or you're going to have trouble.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 10 days ago
adamw DafatoneFair, but how is their record against top 20 teams, I ask, too lazy to look it up myself. I know they did really well against two of the top teams, but what about the rest. Meanwhile, we put up an extremely good record against top 20 teams. It feels vaguely unfair that a .500 record in 10 games against top teams is the same as a 1.000 record in 5 games against top teams. I made tby Dafatone - Hockey

Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 11 days ago
French Rage Didn't the ECAC also do poorly OOC this year? That's going to hurt too. We did well in conference but we would have needed a much better conference record to breeze into the NCAAs with that going against us. The ECAC does poorly OOC just about every year. This year, they did really really poorly.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 11 days ago
adamw upprdeck IF Cornell wins game one and loses the finals you would have to go back over 20 yrs to find the one team that didn't make it with a PWR as high as Cornells would be. And that is the year Cornell was #1 in PWR? Thats as far back as the CHN site goes. Was that year 1 of it? A few of those years the PWR could have gotten us a 2-3 seed. Did parity cause this? did the effectby Dafatone - Hockey

ugarte Trotsky Nobody is stopping OSU or Wisco this year. That is a pre-ordained final. Women's hockey has had four 2-team eras since the national title began: 2001-05 Minnesota-Duluth (3) Minnesota (2) 2006-11 Wisconsin (4) Minnesota-Duluth (2) 2012-18 Minnesota (4) Clarkson (3) 2019-23 Wisconsin (3) Ohio State (1) 2020 Cornell What might have been had Pandemic Hero Rudy Gobert notby Dafatone - Hockey
