We've made some good hits and are blocking shots like crazy. 1-0 after one. Very nice. Possession has been tilted towards St. Lawrence but Cornell has been solid defensively in its own zone.

Who cares about the 3-seed? Let’s win a championship for once. That would punch our ticket to the NCAAs. Seeding barely matters at all.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 29 days ago
Since I’ve seen them mentioned today—the comeback against Princeton in the ECAC semis and the blown opportunity against Bemidji both occurred my freshman year. Quite an introduction to Cornell hockey. At the time, I didn’t realize how big of a deal the Bemidji loss was.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 29 days ago
dbilmes BearLover When asked in the postgame interview what the message was coming out for the third, Walsh said that they “were just doing it for a lot of the guys leaving, especially the younger guys.” Huh? I took it to mean he meant the younger players were especially trying to win this for the older players. If he had a chance to answer again, he would probably give a more coherent answer.

Dart made several that led to nothing. the 2 on 1. pass it one time and you make the d commit.. but we just glide until no room is left the giveway had time to control puck and not take a wild sliding shot on a rolling puck.

Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 29 days ago
andyw2100 On the road to Lake Placid with Kim. Wondering how others feel about rooting interest in the SLU vs. Quinnipiac game. Personally I'm rooting for SLU, because I think Cornell has a greater chance of beating them should we beat Dartmouth and make the finals. (And because Quinnipiac is high on my list of teams to dislike.) But I expect some here will be rooting for Quinnipiac, with the logby BearLover - Hockey

Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 4 weeks ago
adamw ACM adamw Just going to chime in with my usual old man two cents - but I agree with just about everything written here - especially Trotsky's request to bring back the striptease. What a loss. And when did the post-quarters flood the ice tradition end? Covid? That's a massive shame. When the high glass was installed, making it impossible to go on the ice by climbing over the glass.

Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 4 weeks ago
sah67 BearLover But the question still remains—what’s wrong with Gary Glitter? The students have been dropping F-bombs during that song for 20 years. And the ushers have been tossing some of them out for that to “make an example” off and on over the last 20 years (although they do seem to have chilled out on the ejections during the last few years). Maybe it was an Andy Noel thing, and the neby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 4 weeks ago
sah67 BearLover They’ve also been chanting “Fuck you, Harvard!” for a long time now. What changed Friday night? It definitely wasn’t a “thing” 20 years ago when I was in the student section, and in my last 12 years of being a season-ticket holder on the townie side, I’ve only heard it become noticeable during the “COVID era.” Fair enough. It’s been going on for a few years at least, though.by BearLover - Hockey

I'm guessing the band didn't play it because they somehow thought Schafer didn't want them to? I really don't think that was his intention.

I meant to post about this at some point and the mention of Howe jogged my memory.

scoop85 chimpfood I heard that some guys were kicked off for doing coke at a party, tupker transferred after his junior year, hence Zach being here alone for a season. Hey Chimbrain, enough with your uninformed nonsense. Ever hear of defamation of character? Probably 10-20% of Cornell students, and 75+% of members of certain frats/sororities, “do coke at a party” at some point. Also, a number oby BearLover - Hockey

adamw It's not impossible, or else Cornell wouldn't show up here with >0% odds whatever you think of the methodology for picking winners for each game - it proves it's possible to happen. Yup—thanks. It probably involves UMD and Cornell both losing in their conference finals, at a minimum. I’m not sure how else Cornell gains enough RPI to overtake that many teams.by BearLover - Hockey
