Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: Cornell Lax vs Syracuse, 2016 April 12 - 8 years ago
Yes, that's the consensus, though so far the only game between those two and traditional and emerging powers (ACC, Maryland, Hopkins, Denver) is Yale over Maryland in an early game. Yale @ Brown will be on ESPN3, should be entertaining. Cornell @ Lehigh will be on actual TV, CBSSports.by CU77 - Other Sports

A little premature for this, no? Sucks is up first!by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Lax @ Dartmouth 04/02/16 - 8 years ago
Nice big win over an overmatched Dartmouth. Starters juggled again, with Edmonds bounced to midfield, Estil and Teixeira on attack with Rupp. It worked well, but we'll see how it goes (assuming the coaches stick with it) against a much better opponent in Harvard next week.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lax @ UPenn 03/26/16 - 8 years ago
Al DeFlorioto spot where in-game adjustments should have been made but were not. The latter, for example, might be in a situation where the opposition scores nine straight goals and twelve of thirteen against you even though your team has the highest scorer in the history of Division I (at the time). Reasonable example of an adjustment being required, wouldn't you say? Absolutely! And the guy rby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lax @ UPenn 03/26/16 - 8 years ago
That's where one of the problems is. The other problem is that the current players appear to be poorly coached in terms of game prep, in-game adjustments, etc. The same problems were visible last year (and, in hindsight, the year before that) when the talent level did include several of the players on your list. The previous coaching regime did poorly at recruiting. The current coaching regimeby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lax @ UPenn 03/26/16 - 8 years ago
Pretty much a must win for a shot at the Ivy tournament. It will take at least 3 wins to get in. We've already lost to Yale, and Brown looks very good. That leaves Dartmouth, Princeton, Penn, and Harvard. Harvard looks the strongest of those four, so we'd better beat Penn. LGR!by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell Lax @ UVA 03/12/16 - 8 years ago
Provided the coaches know how to mold the talent into a coherent team with some strategic vision. That's been the question mark. Today was a good sign, though.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Lax @ UVA 03/12/16 - 8 years ago
Great win. Over at laxpower.com, I and others have been blasting the coaches for an anemic, flat, predictable offense. But today's team seemed to be channeling the great 70s run-and-gun bingo-bango-bongo teams of the 70s! They were aided by poor defense on the Cavs part, but it was still so much fun to see. This team now has hope, and a future! LGR!by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Lax @ Albany 03/05/16 - 8 years ago
Well that was not encouraging. We open with a wholesale line-up change on attack and midfield; why?????? Then it's abandoned after one quarter. We lose the game, 12-8, which was never in doubt for Albany. Meanwhile Sucks, with their DeLuca coached defense, beats Duke 14-9 on a neutral field.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2016 - Penn State - 8 years ago
Ends up as a 7-8 loss. Team looked way better than I expected. Danville very solid in goal. But geez, they need some shooting drills! So many shots off cage.by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 8 years ago
Cornell swooned in 2012 under DeLuca. We beat Syracuse in mid-April 12-6, and had only one loss, by 8-9 to Virginia. Then: lost to Brown (who finished the season 7-8), lost to Princeton, lost to Yale in the first ILT game. Connor Buczek was a freshman, had almost no playing time. Looked fantastic when he got on the field against Yale for a few minutes after it was too late. So a late swoon isby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 8 years ago
You're right, Tambroni and DeLuca and Kerwick all relied heavily on one starters. After three different coaches have done it, I have to start wondering if they know something that we don't. Maybe they think the starters need all that playing time to have a chance to compete with the top programs. Maybe they think the dropoff in talent further down the roster is too great a risk. I don't know, butby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 8 years ago
So you're going to fire a coach for finishing 3rd in a 7-team league for two years? That's hilarious! I sure hope you can be head coach, because absolutely no one else who is any good at all would take the job under those circumstances. Every candidate will demand at least a five-year contract.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Lacrosse 2015 NCAAs - 8 years ago
To say that "this is the whole season" is nonsense. It is also a gratuitous, needless, and embarrassing (to you) insult to the players. This year's Cornell men's lacrosse team was co-champ of the Ivies and a top-8 seed in the NCAA tournament. Yes, they lost a first-round NCAA tournament game. So did Virginia (national champs in 2011, 2006, 2003, ...) by a worse score than Cornelby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 8 years ago
First of all, Tambroni is not ever returning to Cornell. Why would he leave PSU, which will let him stay until he retires as long as the results are not truly miserable, to return to a school that has many more restrictions on recruiting, and that fired his hand-picked successor a few years later, just after he'd gotten the team to the Final Four? None of us on the outside know what happened therby CU77 - Other Sports

Sorry, I thought you were agreeing with billhoward and towerroad, who were talking about recruits decommiting due to DeLuca's firing.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - post mortem - 8 years ago
Good to see actual facts posted here. Bottom line, Cornell is not going to go out and hire a proven head coach away from some other school. And even if they try, it doesn't always work well. See Sowell at Navy (reportedly the highest-paid coach in DI). Cassese of Lehigh was reported to be a candidate (along with Kerwick) last year for the Cornell job. I think that would not have worked well and wby CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell Men's Lacrosse 2015 - 9 years ago
Easiest to just win out! That also gives Cornell sole possession of the official Ivy League Championship. Brown will be desperate next week though. If they lose to Cornell, and Penn beats Dartmouth, Brown will be out of the ILT.by CU77 - Other Sports
