Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 26 days ago
upprdeck seeing the loss numbers for Dryden and Cropper is just so insane. Galajda also insane. He would have the all time wins record if not for COVID.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 27 days ago
I’m confused. Wasn’t there all this talk about demand for the Maryland Heights regional greatly outstripping the supply (2,500 seats)? But 2/3 of the seats are empty for UMich-NoDak.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 27 days ago
Quinnipiac winning would typically really blow. Especially since I was really hoping BC got upset, but now I’ll have to root for them next round. Despite all this, the damage was already done when Q won last year. Can’t go back on that now. Diminishing marginal pain from Q winning again.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 27 days ago
ugarte Beeeej Announcers in the Q-Wisco game just name-checked/praised Schafer for being such a good coach that Tupker and Malone have been able to fit in so well and contribute so effectively on Quinnipiac and BC respectively.*the world's longest sigh* meanwhile Q about to start a PP after a beautiful pass set up a shot at an open net and the purest clang off the post i think i've ever heardby BearLover - Hockey

Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 27 days ago
Maine had two Nadeau brothers. Denver, for all intents and purposes, has eight. (However, one of their best forwards, Massimo Rizzo, missed the first round with an injury.)by BearLover - Hockey
Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 28 days ago
Larry72 chimpfood Man we’ve got a real winnable game up next too. Denver didn’t look good against UMass, will be gassed from double OT, and we beat them last year. Let’s get Schafer his frozen four that he deserves. Remember that Denver is playing essentially at sea level instead of 5000"+, they have a day off, and they all are in great shape (as is Cornell)! Agree that Denver didn't lookby BearLover - Hockey

Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 28 days ago
That was the first time Cornell looked this way the entire season. I’m not sure if it was partially the superior broadcast quality or if Cornell really did just reach another defensive gear tonight. The first period was dicey but after that the defense and compete level were off the charts.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 28 days ago
cth95 I was a dairy farmer and always worked when I was sick. I would want to play. The difference is, I was helping people by getting my chores done so they didn't have to do extra work. On a team in an important game, you would be hurting your teammates if you tired quickly and your reflexes were slower than normal. As a goalie, a split second can be the difference between a great save andby BearLover - Hockey

Re: Recruits 2024 and Beyond - 29 days ago
Al DeFlorio Cornell would be better prepared for tomorrow night's game if we had played a Hockey East schedule this year. Four HEA teams made the NCAAs this year. Had Q won the ECACs, there would have been one ECAC team, and it wouldn't have been Cornell, despite a twenty win season. I don't buy your self-serving logic, BearLover, one bit. Winning the ECACs was much more satisfying when Cby BearLover - Hockey

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 PWR… Ah, bby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 29 days ago
Iceberg chimpfood On the CHN podcast today Adam said that he supports teams being able to host regionals in their own rinks but should only play there if they are a one or two seed. To me, this makes no sense to not just do home games for the first two rounds. Firstly, it shows that he has no issue with schools hosting NCAA games in their home rink and this system doesn’t eliminate home advantageby BearLover - Hockey

Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 4 weeks ago
fastforward BearLover Dunc Unfortunately for us students a lot of people may have Prelims the Thursday before spring break - I imagine some will try to come on Saturday tho if we advance Hopefully the hockey players don’t. Most of them do and they have to leave 2 days ahead so they may miss several So how’s that gonna work?by BearLover - Hockey

Re: ECAC Final - St. Lawrence?! - 4 weeks ago
upprdeck at large vs auto does nothing to the seedings. the autos could be 13-16 just as easy as an at large Not this year. This year, the autobids are 15 and 16. EDIT: I meant the autobids from AHA and CCHA.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: ECAC Final - St. Lawrence?! - 4 weeks ago
upprdeck just avoid BC is the goal. Omaha is hot 12-13 would mean msu of Ndak before they play with it We can’t possibly play BC, right? They’re the #1 overall, so they’d get one of the auto-bids.by BearLover - Hockey
