Re: The Ivy League Flunks Out - 3 months ago
George64 George64 George64 With hockey in hiatus and David Archer replaced, it’s time for other things Ivy League, to wit, the pathetic performances by the presidents of Harvard and Penn before Congress. Maureen Dowd summed it up nicely in her Times op ed. BTW, both used the same white-shoe law firm. Say what you will about Martha Pollack, at least she hasn’t embarrassed herself in front Congby marty - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: NIL - 3 months ago
Trotsky An interesting take. This seems like speculation. What evidence is there that the current Princeton players chose the Tigers based on NIL? If they did so, fine but huh? P.S. Is the NIL landscape going to eff up Division One hockey?by marty - John Spencer Is Dead

They become segregated communities in which they are wildly popular within and not even reviled but just ignored without. Boxing. Cockfighting. Hell, probably Bear Baiting.

Re: Odds of winning 2024 NCAAs - 4 months ago
ursusminor It's hard to believe that the RPI women have a 25-1 shot of winning, tied for fifth in the ECAC. It's hard to believe that the odds makers will make money if a long shot wins either title. Also I'm wondering if BearLover has wagered.by marty - Hockey

Re: Cornell Hockey Coverage - 4 months ago
arugula Swampy I would add one thing to what others have said. I streamed last weekend's BU game and found the announcers to be strong BU homers, which I would normally expect. Nonetheless, they provided insights into each team's strategy like I have never heard before. For example, they said Cornell defense appeared to be using man-to-man coverage. I've never heard such analysis before in anby marty - Hockey
Re: Ceramic Dalmatians, 2024 - 4 months ago
djk26 Will In fairness to BU, they also posted a win over then-#3 Quinnipiac since last week's poll. Ah, thank you...I should have checked their other recent games before posting. Qunninipiac is tough; BU beating them makes our win over BU seem even better. (What's that you say? It also makes our loss to QU seem worse? I'm not listening... ) Any given night, polls don't matter, always giveby marty - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 4 months ago
arugula Trotsky BearLover I’m very happy Cornell won last night and I had a great time at the game. But the performance did not inspire confidence for the rest of the year. Looking at the chances Cornell gave up, BU easily could have had four or five goals. Even though Cornell did finally score on the PP, it came when a puck popped out to Walsh from the half-wall, rather than set up by a passingby marty - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 4 months ago
arugula RichH arugulaWe can win this but it has to be a tactical masterpiece and we just take advantage of the few chances we get. Just wanted to highlight this. Was it a tactical masterpiece? No. But the D got their asses in line and Shane came up big where he had to. One particular toe save in the 3rd stood out to me. And the PP showed signs of actual creative movement. Keep that going.

Dunc marty Iceberg The games at MSG always have additional stoppages due to broadcast commercials. Definitely not a Hockey East thing My confusion is that I was watching the ESPN+ broadcast and all I saw was Fan Cam. I scratched my bald head as I longed for the East Hill Car Wash jingle. Was the game also on the MSG cable channel? I’m pretty sure that for MSG games, it’s just whatever isby marty - Hockey
Re: CU-BU 2023 - 4 months ago
Weder marty dag14 I really, really hate the "fancam" So does Hockey East have additional time outs during the regular season broadcasts or were these effing Fan Cam Can Cans designed to encourage folks to buy $15 beers? I wasn't listening to WHCU. Did they run commercials during the extra down time? I think when they've had these games at MSG the rink staff just sticks to the Nby marty - Hockey

arugula ugarte BearLover You’d think that when no passing seams have opened up after over a minute of passing it around on the perimeter, somebody would attempt to shoot the puck instead.Forget shooting - change the skating pattern! Step forward, make them move differently, have someone skate through the umbrella so they have to react to him. ANYTHING but Sweet Georgia Brown for four minutes. Deaby marty - Hockey

Adam Johnson, WTF? Edit: I'm a dope because I posted the WTF link without looking at the clip of the injury. I'm also a wimp because I tend to avoid gory videos that might cause me mental anguish. That is, I had intentionally avoided looking at the video of the injury because I didn't want to see the contact that resulted in Adam's death.by marty - John Spencer Is Dead
