Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: CU @ Brown 2/1/14 - 10 years ago
flyersgolf I believe number 22 brings an infectious enthusiasm that affects the whole team. He was noticeably limping last night I hope it is a nick and not something more serious. Brandon Thomas tweeted that everyone is healthy this morning.by MattS - Hockey
Re: 2014-15 Schedule - 10 years ago
Trotsky RichH nyc94 Am I alone in thinking this tournament has run its course? So that means that you think it got up to running speed at some point, eh? No, you're not alone, but 1) I've already made my bias against Florida clear and 2) somebody pointed out that the predecessor, the Syracuse Hockey Invitational Tournament, was even more dreadfully depressing, and I can't argue against that.by MattS - Hockey

Re: ECAC 2013-14 - 10 years ago
Robb TimV I just want to know that it's NOT just a matter of making the trip to the games next weekend.So far, it's just an employer (Union) taking disciplinary action against its own employee, so they can pretty much dictate whatever terms they want. If the league/NCAA steps in with any additional/concurrent punishment, then there is surely some official definition of what "suspended"by MattS - Hockey
Re: ECAC 2013-14 - 10 years ago
If Union is serious about it, it would mean absolutely no contact with any player or coach from now until those two games have passed. However, my guess is it will mean Bennett won't be behind the bench for two games.by MattS - Hockey
Re: ECAC 2013-14 - 10 years ago
Two more by the ECAC and then the suspension sounds about right to me.by MattS - Hockey
Re: Clarkson @ CU - 1/25/14 - 10 years ago
Its odd how emotions and thoughts about games work. Going into this weekend I would have been satisfied with CU getting three points. However afterword it obvious they missed out on getting 4 points and I am left feeling a little bit disappointed. Ah, hockey..........by MattS - Hockey
Re: ECAC 2013-14 - 10 years ago
sah67 Video of the RPI-Union line brawl, including Appert and Bennett grabbing at each other: Obviously not knowing if anything happened before it but from this video the crosscheck to the facemask by the Union player at the faceoff seemed to spark things off at that moment. If I was running things Bennett would be starting his golf season early, say Monday.by MattS - Hockey
Re: Clarkson @ CU - 1/25/14 - 10 years ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 The other thing I found encouraging is that in a close third period we stayed out of the box and let Clarkson take the stupid penalties. +1by MattS - Hockey
Re: Clarkson @ CU - 1/25/14 - 10 years ago
Solid two final periods of hockey. This game has the feel of it being a character building win. A come from behind win after last nights disappointing tie just feels like it could be a momentum builder. I'm excited to see Hilbrich starting to come into his own and really use his size.by MattS - Hockey
Re: Clarkson @ CU - 1/25/14 - 10 years ago
This game has been a tale of two periods. CU bad if the first but looked tons better in the second and the score indicates it.by MattS - Hockey
Re: Clarkson @ CU - 1/25/14 - 10 years ago
flyersgolf The second Clarkson goal the ref dropped the puck before the players were set. Clarkson had two men in motion while puck was dropped. Ref should have whistled the play dead as soon as puck was dropped. Otherwise Cornell is flat and standing still too much. Agreed. That goal should not have counted. Horrible effort except for the Weidner-Kubiak-Buckles line.by MattS - Hockey
Clarkson @ CU - 1/25/14 - 10 years ago
I see there are some lineup changes for tonight. I'm a little surprised by Knisley being out but not at all by P. McCarron. Hopefully I will avoid the wrath of the neon ushers!by MattS - Hockey

Re: St. Lawrence @ CU 1/24/14 - 10 years ago
I was simply, in as loud a voice as I could, yelling "Baker Sucks!!" over and over again. Nothing more. I basically told the usher to go take a hike that I was doing nothing wrong. I was not using profanity or being disruptive or any other "offense" listed on the tickets. There was a couple of SLU fans (parents?) who my wife thinks took exception to my comments and complaiby MattS - Hockey
Re: St. Lawrence @ CU 1/24/14 - 10 years ago
Once again CU inability to play with intensity for 60 minutes cost them a win. I am sure Iles would want at least 1 of the first two goals back. On the good side the team did not give up and continued to fight even after the two quick SLU goals which could have been back breakers. On another note I was threatened with ejection tonight because I was yelling "Baker sucks!" aftby MattS - Hockey
Re: WTF, is Lynah empty?! - 10 years ago
Towerroad The special "sale" has student tickets at $13 each. Frankly, that is still may be the highest student ticket price in all of College Hockey. $234 per season is also probably the highest (particularly on a per game basis) in College Hockey. I have no problem charging non students more. Minnesota and ND charge on the order of $35. For most working fans that is a reasonable prby MattS - Hockey
Re: WTF, is Lynah empty?! - 10 years ago
scoop85 BMac I went to CornellBigRed.com today and it was replaced by a promo-splash page with a link to this: THEY'RE SELLING TICKETS LIKE THIS, DURING THE SEASON?! WHAT IS HAPPENING? yeah, that was jarring to see. Especially the Sucks game.by MattS - Hockey
Re: Women's Hockey 2014 - 10 years ago
ithacat dag14 Women lose to Harvard 1-3 . They looked better than we did in all aspects of the game. I thought Cornell dominated large portions of the game. They did a good job on FOs and outshot Harvard comfortably. The big difference to me was the goalie play. I agree. I thought Cornell played well except for two soft goals.by MattS - Hockey
Re: Women's Hockey 2014 - 10 years ago
Got an email today that tickets for the Saturday game against Sucks are $1 for men's season ticket holders.by MattS - Hockey
Re: 1/10 game vs Massachusetts delayed to 7:30pm - 10 years ago
Jim Hyla MattS I don't understand some of these complaints. I guess I just don't understand what should have been done differently at the time the problem(s) were happening. From what was public available to me, it appears as if Cornell found out about the issue on Friday morning and thought it was going to be repaired by early afternoon. I would assume that TPTB has a reasonable degree of confidby MattS - Hockey
Re: Harvard-Yale @ MSG - 10 years ago
Trotsky TimV Also, those Yale duds set a record for the number of Ys on a uniform. I counted eight. Seriously. I didn't even see the ankle ones on TV. I see 5 -- are the other 3 on the back? I get six from that picture. 3 on the sweater. One on each sock. One on helmet.by MattS - Hockey

Re: Women's Olympic Hockey update - 10 years ago
I stumbled upon that game last night on TV. It was a fairly entertaining game with the US playing well. The scrum at the end was not all that surprising with Canada getting thoroughly outplayed for large stretches of the game and it had become chippy long before that point. I will say that was the first time at a women's game that I've seen a player throw punches at another player who was lyiby MattS - Hockey

Re: Colgate 12/7 - 10 years ago
sah67 Yet again, the student sections seemed pretty dead for large stretches of the game, even during pivotal moments later on, like when Sections A & B sounded like a library just a minute or two after Bardreau's tying goal. The most animated I saw the crowd get was around us in Section L when Goulakos and Gentzler were in the box following the big scrum with Buckles. Some guy (don't beliby MattS - Hockey
Re: Colgate 12/7 - 10 years ago
I thought that was an interesting game. CU looked great on the 5x3 PP. And I thought carried the play for some decent stretches. They could have easily won and just as easily have lost. Hilbrich had maybe his best game. He looked like he's starting to use his size some and control the play instead of reacting to it. Lowry looks like he's "missing" most of the game. I'm not sureby MattS - Hockey
