Re: Men's basketball 2019-20 - 4 years ago
mountainred I'm a little more bearish on Gray, but he's a D1 talent who should help. My time in Indiana skewed my view of high school gyms, but those looked like really small facilities for a NYC school. Or is that just the way it is in the City? That's funny. Watching the clip, I was reminded of how large MLK HS's gym is (played there a number of times back in the day). City gyms are fairlby arugula - Other Sports

Trotsky Fox named a co-captain at Sucks for next year. Guess they think he's staying. Fox just traded to Rangers, will apparently sign, so good news for the Red and for the Blueshirts. For Sucks, not so muchby arugula - Hockey

Wow, that's nuts. Interesting too is the difference between NC$$ in the 70s versus the 80s as an NHL feeder. Nethery was even more dominant than Niuewendyk, yet had a very minor NHL career.by arugula - Hockey

Trotsky Jim HylaASU showed this year that wining is the answer. Beat enough so-so teams and it doesn't matter that much that your record against the good teams is so-so. 2-10-1 against teams that ended up in top 20 of PWR. Overall record was 21-13-1, so 19-3-0 against the others. We couldn't do as well against the teams we should have beaten, even though we didn't really have trouble with ASUby arugula - Hockey

Trotsky Jim Hyla arugula You never know. Joe was a skinny unimpressive looking teenager but sublime hands. That's the way that schools like Union and us will get the great player. Unlikely that we'll recruit the top player, we'll get the late bloomer. Look at Union. They didn't win the FF because they had recruited a bunch of hot prospects.

BearLover arugula Providence isn't that good that we should've been so stymied. Other than perhaps the team was finally just plain spent. But hat doesn't explain past years. No problem losing to demonstrably better teams, but Providence is not 4-0 better than us. Frustrates the hell out me, all the NC$$ losses-UNH, Ferris, Bemidji--those are games you need to win.

Re: 2019-20 Schedule - 5 years ago
I hear you about the UAH issue. That would've been a shame if the program hadn't been saved. Big Cam Talbot fan here. You're right about the cycles--very few schools are good every single year anymore. BC and BU and Minnesota and Wisconsin, etc. all out of the playoffs. Ultimately, I'm mostly frustrated because I made two games this year--at Yale and at Providence. Think about it--Yale'by arugula - Hockey
Re: 2019-20 Schedule - 5 years ago
I'm not suggesting that we wish it and it will magically happen. I'm just curious whether it's something the program seeks. Not that long ago, we had Colorado College, when they were good, for a home and home. That seems equivalent to a Denver. Penn State seems like a good fit--easy trip, low cost.

Six insults in three lines. Pretty efficient. Don't know about other Boards or Twitter-don't participate. My bad reasoning is home grown-no assistance needed! As to "correcting or ignoring," this is opinion, not math--no correcting needed. I'll ignore the ad hominems and just continue to hope we play a tougher schedule.by arugula - Hockey

adamw arugula Good breakdown of yesterday, just a bit rosy for me. As I said elsewhere, I wish the OOC schedule were stronger. How do we not play HE teams, except BU every other year. No NCHC. Rarely Big 10. And when we do, it's Merrimack or Michigan State, and not stronger teams. We should drop the Atlantic hockey teams and avoid WCHA. Losses to top teams are better that beating Niagara.by arugula - Hockey

Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 5 years ago
Got it. So assuming that's the case, getting MSU to do the home and home was an anomaly, yet Colorado College came a few years back, North Dakota too so it's not impossible. I just don't get the dearth of HE teams. Is it just the long bus ride? I guess, as Brown, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton all play HE teams, not to mention Harvard's cross town games with BC and BU, plus the Beanpot. I knby arugula - Hockey

Trotsky arugula "Barron was one of the best players on the ice yesterday," that's a mighty low bar for him being ready for the NHL. To be honest, the only forward who made a positive impression on me yesterday was Andreev. While Barron was (sort of) involved, he showed no hands and had little impact--but that was essentially the whole team. Maybe if I hadn't sat so close and eitherby arugula - Hockey

Re: 2019-20 Schedule - 5 years ago
I think yesterday shows the weakness of our OOC. I guess it’s hard to get home and homes but we should be playing NCHC and HEA and Big 10 more. And not Merrimack and Miamiby arugula - Hockey
Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 5 years ago
Barron would be crazy to leave. IMHO if you don’t dominate at this level you’re not close to nhl ready. Morgan is good but hardly dominant. Yesterday was invisible. If he want to spend two years in the AHL that’s another matter.by arugula - Hockey
Re: Cornell - Providence - 5 years ago
At the Dunk. You know it’s going to be a rough day when the freakin Dinkin Donuts Center has no donuts. Seriously the Red haven’t shown up. Very disappointing. Little zone time sloppy in front of net. Loose with the puck. As above, Austin seems to have forgotten how to control rebounds. At Lynch this would still be a 3-0 game. A real no show so far.by arugula - Hockey
