Re: Cornell Women Hockey - 4 years ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 Jim Hyla Beeeej Ugh. NCAA selection show tonight at 9pm EDT, live-streamed: Suspect: Mercyhurst at #1 Cornell Clarkson at #2 Wisconsin Princeton at #3 Northeastern Ohio State at #4 Minnesota We'll see at 9. edit: I used USCHO PWR. Those guesses seem right to me. Does today's OT loss count as a loss or a tie?by blackwidow - Hockey
Re: Alumni News: 2019-20 - 4 years ago
KingsFan91 My wife and I met Joakim Ryan at a LA Kings season holder event this week. He got excited when I brought out my copy of Forever Faithful to sign, ad we had some pictures taken together. He still follows the team, and was great to us and all the other Kings fans... That sounds amazing. Im a big fan of Joakim Ryan! I went to the kings at the devils game recently and brought his jerseby blackwidow - Hockey

Went to the Blue Jackets at the Devils game on the 16th. Brought my Blue Jackets Riley Nash jersey and put it up against the glass during the warmup. Nash saw it and was nice enough to give me a puck. Being a grown-ass man, didn't expect that at all. Nash was +1 but the Blue Jackets lost in a shootout.by blackwidow - Hockey

nyc94 2020 wrestling was Princeton's 500th Ivy League title, if you're keeping score which apparently they are. What they have done with their wrestling program is really impressive.by blackwidow - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2019-20 - 4 years ago
ugarte Well, time for the sad recap. Not going to recap Saturday's 30-6 win over Penn except to say that Penn has two wrestlers ranked in the top 20, both of them won, and Cornell swept the other eight matches including pins from Loew and Darmstadt. Sunday's critical dual against Princeton was wild. The match started at 285 - I presume - to ramp up the tension for a final match between #3 andby blackwidow - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio blackwidow mountainred ugarte ESPN+ at 1, in Princeton. Let's Go Red! If we win the tossups we can do this. Probably need them all -- or an unexpected pin -- but a win is doable. Figure Princeton is the heavy favorite at 125, 157, and, now, 149. Probably favored at 165 too. If Cornell steals any of those 4, things are going well.

Re: Cornell @ Quinnipiac 1/31/2020 - 4 years ago
TimV marty Another issue that makes coaching so different than it was 15-20 years ago is that everyone can watch (tapes of) every game. That knife cuts both ways, no? Is our scouting worse than everybody else's? Like our inability to figure out Harvard's power play? I dont know about coaching but I think Harvard's talent is significantly above our recruitment pool.by blackwidow - Hockey
Re: 2020-02-01: Cornell at Princeton - 4 years ago
scoop85 Trotsky Galajda back, of course. Leahy in for Dirven. Locke with Cam and Morgan (good, I love that line). Both Tupkers together with Bauld. Not sure who dropped with Ben coming in. Edit: Malone is out. Schafer: "If I had the opportunity I'd have changed more. We're only allowed to travel with 23 on the road." Yikes. Dirven’s struggled lately, so no surprise Leaby blackwidow - Hockey
Re: Opponent News 19-20 - 4 years ago
Trotsky Chris H82 Isn't that a low bar when compared to Q? My question was whether SHU belongs in the same cluster with the ECAC in the way that Q (and TBH probably UVM) does not. I mean, the other way is 16: + SHU, Niagara, RIT, and Canisius. We could also add back Army if we still want to kick out Q (spoiler: we do). Why do you guys want to kick Q out? Sorry im new.by blackwidow - Hockey

Re: Wrestling 2019-20 - 4 years ago
ugarte ugarte I have to look weight by weight to predict princeton. I've been worried all year. After further review I'm more than a little worried. We may even win six matches but Princeton looks much more likely to score bonus points, particularly at 125, 157 and 197. Not impossible to win but we have to keep our losses close. Thanks for the closer inspection. Im a graudate student at priby blackwidow - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2019-20 - 4 years ago
ugarte VT dual was much more fun and closer than I expected. At 125 LaJoie almost beat another ranked opponent. Tucker remained undefeated at 133 with another win against a ranked wrestler. At 141 Baughman held off a major decision against a returning national qualifier. Hunter Richard came back from down 5-0 to beat the #22 wrestler at 149 8-7 in sm incredible match. Santoro was so closeby blackwidow - Other Sports

Re: Fortress Invitational - 4 years ago
Cannot help but wonder how likely it is for Barron to go pro after this season. I so badly want him to stay :/by blackwidow - Hockey
Re: Fortress Invitational - 4 years ago
went to the last year's NCAA game against Providence. Glad the team held their own against a worthy opponent. It's games like this one that remind me I must keep my expectations for the team in check. I get too worked up sometimes :/by blackwidow - Hockey
Re: Fortress Invitational - 4 years ago
Fair to say on the basis of individual skill, Providence was superior? I think Cornell is generally a well-structured, well-trained team but finds it hard to compete in terms of raw talent (penalty shootout for example) I thought all Cornell shootout shots were very easy to save. no deking whatsoever.by blackwidow - Hockey
