Re: Yale at Cornell, 2/17 - 2 months ago
ER That seems to be all anyone cares about. We haven’t lost a game since December 2. What other team can say that? Can we just enjoy the ride and not worry so much about all that other crap, seeing as we are fans and have zero control over anything? Cornell has been great this year and I’m proud of them. Mostly just frustrating to not see that get rewarded in the Pairwise.by BearLover - Hockey

Big Dingus What a terrible game. Can’t believe I flew up from NOLA for this You complain too much.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Yale at Cornell, 2/17 - 2 months ago
Dafatone One of my more inane opinions is that the end of the game should extend by the length of the ongoing power play if it's tied or if the team up a man is down one. That’s not inane. It’s only fair. A penalty committed with 10 seconds remaining is basically not penalized at all. A penalty committed with one minute remaining is only half as costly as one committed with two or morning minutesby BearLover - Hockey

Bad outcome but PP was better tonight.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Yale at Cornell, 2/17 - 2 months ago
Iceberg Yale obviously trying to pressure as much as they can on the forecheck. They were caught on the tying goal, but this is clearly not the same opponent as yesterday We had a lot of trouble with them earlier this year too.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Brown vs. Cornell 2/16 - 2 months ago
DL BearLover Why is Grady talking about crowd size with 2 minutes to go and Brown’s goalie pulled??????? He has been a lot better lately with the tangents but this one was inexcusable. At least Grady's tangents are short and hardly detract. I'll take anything he cares to mention about any day of the week over Tim "No Doubt About It" Vanini's drawn-out, repetitive ramblings that almost nby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Brown vs. Cornell 2/16 - 2 months ago
VIEWfromK Trotsky Play our game, stay outta the box. Back. At. The GRIND. There continues to be a complete dedication to earning the puck in every zone from the bottom of the lineup to the top. There might have been one legitimate hit last night (Bancroft leveling that guy behind the net) but they use their strength and size to take advantage of every situation. In the offensive zone thisby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 2 months ago
CC incoming…they have the 16th best RPI and they’re about to beat #2 NoDak. So now we are going to have to contend with them, too.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Brown vs. Cornell 2/16 - 2 months ago
Good crowd and dominant win tonight. Should have been at least 5-0. This team is really firing on all cylinders (I’m sure they’ll lose to Yale tomorrow now that I’ve said that). PP looked a little better; at least we’re willing to shoot it on net now. And it was nice running into BigDingus in the bathroom. Always fun to see a BigDingus in the bathroom.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 2 months ago
Now #17 CC up 2-1 on #2 NoDak. Uh-oh.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 2 months ago
Getting no help from Minn-Duluth. They are already down 2-0 to Denver. (We played UMD twice so we care about them for SOS, plus if they sweep Denver it opens up a very outside chance that Denver goes into a tailspin and drops below us in the rankings.)by BearLover - Hockey

Robertson is unbelievable. He has looked like Lane Hutson (BU) skating circles in the O-zone on multiple different shifts this game.by BearLover - Hockey

Big Dingus I’ll be at my first game in a year tonight. Let me know if you want to meet up Bearlover Think I just saw you in the bathroomby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Brown vs. Cornell 2/16 - 2 months ago
dbilmes According to an email sent out earlier today by the Athletics Department, the Yale game is a sellout but there are still tickets available for the Brown game tonight. Cornell has two home basketball games this weekend which conflict with the hockey games. Hopefully that doesn’t impact attendance too much.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: 2023-2024 Predictions - 2 months ago
ugarte BL annoys me less than a lot of people on here even when i disagree with him. He's got strong opinions and way too much of the Need To Argue Pedantically about the same issues like he's got a calendar tickler, but the structure of eLF has too many windows for people to be throwing stones around. I clearly suffer from too much Need To Argue Pedantically about stuff, which I acknowledge andby BearLover - Hockey

adamw BearLover adamw BearLover adamw BearLover—Cornell has only 2 seniors, one of whom is the third string goalie. They do not have enough experience to compete for a national title this year.

Re: Recruits 2024 and Beyond - 2 months ago
Pghas We seem to be bouncing back and forth between threads a bit here…hope this is the right one. Had the opportunity last night to watch Gio DeGiulian play. He’s going to be a great player for us. Wheels, wheels, wheels and great hands. Not sure if he is playing juniors after Kent or maybe just comes straight to Cornell? Anyway, he was the best player on the ice ( I thought).

sezenack BearLover ursusminor An RPI fan and his computer program's ECAC predictions. Cornell is #2, and Harvard is #7 below #4 Princeton. I appreciate that someone is trying to quantify these things rather than making prediction based on feel, but the fact this model ranks Harvard’s returning offense as 12th in the league evidences a clear flaw in its methodology, in my opinion.

Re: Recruits 2023 and beyond - 2 months ago
Redpucks1! You beat me to it Bear! Bill Howard - you are a very wise man and 100% correct with the comment "followed by soul-crushing setbacks." Yesterday may not have been soul-crushing but it was not good on the recruiting front. As Bear mentioned one of the guys, Aiden Lane, that I was hoping would commit to Cornell, has instead chosen Harvard. Oh well, his loss and poor choice, nby BearLover - Hockey

RichH BearLover Actually, I’m pretty he just wants to be loud and outrageous. I highly doubt he is trying to provoke anybody. The only person who seems ruffled here is you. Ahhhh, thanks for that laugh - that was good forum comedy gold right there, baby. Damn, still ruffled I see…by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs Quinnipiac, 1/20 - 2 months ago
Al DeFlorio Trotsky BearLoverHe justified it with the theory that it would force Schafer to try to win even harder, lol. No. I always root for the ECAC, because I like the league, and I want it to be strong and attract more talent to help raise our SoS. I do, too. And, anyone who gets upset over who I, or anyone else here, roots for needs to get a life. Desperately. Go on a Duke basketballby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Who deserves 2023 D1 championship - 2 months ago
Trotsky My hot take is having this malevolent glutton in our conference forces us to build a team that can compete with it, which accidentally will build a team that can win a national championship. Go Q. Set a standard for the rest of us to ascend to. That would be ironic. Bump. @RichH @Troskyby BearLover - Hockey

Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 2 months ago
scoop85 BearLover adamw I should probably just shut up - but I'm not good at that. I think Ben Syer and Topher are great guys. Neither will be the next coach. Casey Jones is one of my favorite people in hockey, and I think he's a great coach. However, he's only 4 years younger than Coach Schafer - and so it won't be him either. Why won’t Ben Syer be the next coach? Perhaps some guys are cutby BearLover - Hockey
