Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: We'll never know.how the faithful would have greeted this UND frosh POS - 3 years ago
I learned to consider the source at Fred Marcham's knee. USCHO is a wretched excuse for a source.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: We'll never know.how the faithful would have greeted this UND frosh POS - 3 years ago
To what degree of certainty do we know this person bullied anyone? In the absence of any game or even a scrimmage USCHO demoted Cornell Men's Varsity Hockey from its first-place ranking to its sixth-place ranking?! This rather dilutes faith in any reports, judgments, or rankings produced and released by USCHO.by osorojo - Hockey

Now the 2020 - 2021 season starts in 2021?! That appears to violate our traditional concept of time, or the definition of the verb "starts"? Or maybe it's just Orwellian "newspeak" jumping over from politics to athletics.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: 2020-21 Season *Officially* Delayed - 3 years ago
WOW! Cornell Men's hockey just dropped from first to sixth place without even a scrimmage, let alone a game. These new computer programs are AWESOME!by osorojo - Hockey

Never engage in a conversation with a Haahvaard fan who has been feasting on garlic knots!by osorojo - Hockey

Don't believe any nonsense about "herd immunity" or how it will protect hockey teams. If you or a hockey team are worried about being infected by Covid 19 you/they should immediately see your favorite politician for advice and treatment.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: ECAC Schedule - 3 years ago
AD's are money men? I always wondered what they did. Then after an A.D. has negotiated a time and place for a hockey game with another school's Athletic Director the two of them could man the gates and collect admission money.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: ECAC Schedule - 3 years ago
Covid 19 trumps* any and all pre-existing schedule arrangements and even the organizations, such as the ECAC, which make them. Collegiate hockey schools all have Athletic Directors and communication equipment. How about we let A.D.'s, just not money-men, schedule hockey games? Let athletes play the game they love, show their stuff, and for the moment at least ignore the profit motive? *the verb-by osorojo - Hockey
Re: ECAC Schedule - 3 years ago
Thanks, Trotsky, but in Florida NOTHING - faith, honor, reason, even hubris is subservient to quick profit - AKA "commerce". The numbers and the environment speak for themselves.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: ECAC Schedule - 3 years ago
It's a cinch to exterminate or even educate the entire human race compared to making the slightest change in one tiny coronavirus - even fathead politicians can't do that. Speculation about resuming large, in person audiences sports events is hubris, not reason.by osorojo - Hockey

"Run everything like a bidness hurr durr." Hey, look around. Running the country like a business worked GREAT for the U.S.A. - why not college hockey?by osorojo - Hockey
Re: 2020-21 Season *Officially* Delayed - 3 years ago
Professional educators, athletic directors and college coaches got us into this mess. What we need is some investors and politicians to dictate college hockey schedules and policies.by osorojo - Hockey

Ice hockey is far too fast a game to support vocal fry. Try the crochet website.by osorojo - Hockey

Re: Incoming Recruits - 3 years ago
I was thinking more along the lines of identifying talented recruits. If kids don't get to play competitive hockey for the next couple of years due to the pandemic it's going to badly handicap the ability of recruiters to identify talented college hockey prospects.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Incoming Recruits - 3 years ago
This pandemic must be a nightmare for recruiters of scholastic athletes. I suspect it may level the playing field" for the next few years?by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
Smart money should rush out and start a for - Television 3-on-3 professional hockey league with 10 minute periods - and settle ties with the best of eleven penalty shots. Maybe make the goals bigger too in order to get more scoring. It's what fans come to see?by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
We got to see a couple hours of great competition decide an ice hockey game instead of a few minutes of 3-on-3 pond hockey. The money people - television programmers and team owners - probably disliked that game?!by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
I can't wait for the new, three-man college basketball season to reopen. Wait! is 3-on-3 college basketball only in case of ties after regulation play expires? Anyway, expectations are that swarms of new spectators who never cared for 5-on-5 basketball will flock to games due to the possibility they could watch some 3-on-3. Rumor has it the NBA is considering going to a game of HORSE to settle tby osorojo - Hockey
Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
How about a "Hockey Lite" League where the whole GAME is 3-on-3? Fans who who prefer watching scoring rather than playing would be thrilled, hockey teams (corporations) could reduce their employee overhead by at LEAST 40% and advertisers could tailor their ads to appeal to brain-dead consumers/hockey fans.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
Instead of calling an even-score game a "tie" just declare both teams to be "winners" and award both teams a couple of points. A 3-on-3 game is pond hockey.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Morgan Barron Tribute Video - 3 years ago
The Rangers is a good place for Barron to start in the NHL, but only if the front office guarantees he will be traded in three years or less. The NHL is full of winning teams enjoying the services of ex-Rangers they traded for. Professional hockey is a 100% business, not a sportby osorojo - Hockey
Re: Morgan Barron article - 3 years ago
Professional hockey becomes a whole lot less profitable with no revenue from the gates. Even if they opened the gates now and packed them in the crowds would evaporate in a couple of weeks. Money is the beginning and end of the pro hockey business, just like every other professional sport. Professional sports owners are in the same bind as American politicians. Lets hope the sports owners deal wiby osorojo - Hockey

Concur with responsible supervision. This is why it is called "college hockey" rather than a "Hockey College".by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Incoming Recruits - 3 years ago
Our current government's plan for dealing with coronavirus - doing nothing - needs time to work. In another year or two the number of deaths from and the spread of coronavirus should stabilize and allow plans to be made for sporting events.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Season's Over 20-21 (Hopefully) - 3 years ago
Ask yourself, "Which is more important, the amusement of thousands of hockey fans and the careers of thousands of politicians OR the lives and wellbeing of millions of Americans?" See how easy that was?by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Former Opponent News - 3 years ago
Mother, father, wife, self, son, sister,brother-in-law,and two nieces are all Cornell graduates. The benefits of all this outbreeding are greatly exaggerated.by osorojo - Hockey
Re: Rules Changes? - 3 years ago
The overwhelming compulsion to ALWAYS have a clear winner and a clear loser does not reflect +90% of human endeavors.The arithmetic involved with including ties in competitive ranking is not that difficult. Save playoffs for the playoffs and make regular sports a slice of life.by osorojo - Hockey

Folk wisdom give a simple explanation: "Birds of a feather flock together." This explains uranium, gold mines, and Trump conventions.by osorojo - Hockey
