Jeff Hopkins '82 Al DeFlorio Nice TV station recap of the championship: The announcer called him Ca-stang-a. They don't have Italians in Burlington? If you ever want to have a good time, ask South Dakotans to pronounce "DiGiuseppe".by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 4 weeks ago
sah67 A few of the Maine posters on USCHO seem to be concerned about us being a bad stylistic matchup for them, but they're also resigned to the same tired old tropes about Cornell being a team of "big slow goons who can't skate and only clutch/grab/obstruct their way to 1-0 or 2-1 wins"(paraphrased). I'm not even convinced we have a discernible "style" this year: we've hadby Dafatone - Hockey

Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 4 weeks ago
BMac Wow BU got screwed. Overall #2 but sent to grand forks because BC takes Providence as #1 and UMass hosts Springfield. I'm deeply offended that you're mixing up the Dakotas.by Dafatone - Hockey

BearLover ice ugarte Iceberg Well, O'Leary won't have nightmares about the initial empty net miss. Fantastic runafter everyone gets there celebration in... why wasn't that icing on Bancroft? It looked like icing should have been called. Not sure what happened. I assumed because O’Leary was winning the race to the puck? Must be. Looked awfully close to me. No complaints.

Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 5 weeks ago
Scersk '97 Loved the moment deep in the third where our guys pinned it against the wall in the Dartmouth end for a good 45 seconds. Old time hockey. I usually don't love those. Often feels like you pin it for ten seconds then it squeaks away and the other team has a break out. This one was great, though.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 5 weeks ago
Holy shit what a comeback. I think. I couldn't tell. Camera couldn't follow the puck. Did we win?by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 5 weeks ago
I'm struggling to remember the last game I watched with such bad camera work.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 5 weeks ago
If three guys are gonna go behind the net, they better get the puck or you're going to have trouble.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 5 weeks ago
adamw DafatoneFair, but how is their record against top 20 teams, I ask, too lazy to look it up myself. I know they did really well against two of the top teams, but what about the rest. Meanwhile, we put up an extremely good record against top 20 teams. It feels vaguely unfair that a .500 record in 10 games against top teams is the same as a 1.000 record in 5 games against top teams. I made tby Dafatone - Hockey

Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 5 weeks ago
French Rage Didn't the ECAC also do poorly OOC this year? That's going to hurt too. We did well in conference but we would have needed a much better conference record to breeze into the NCAAs with that going against us. The ECAC does poorly OOC just about every year. This year, they did really really poorly.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 5 weeks ago
adamw upprdeck IF Cornell wins game one and loses the finals you would have to go back over 20 yrs to find the one team that didn't make it with a PWR as high as Cornells would be. And that is the year Cornell was #1 in PWR? Thats as far back as the CHN site goes. Was that year 1 of it? A few of those years the PWR could have gotten us a 2-3 seed. Did parity cause this? did the effectby Dafatone - Hockey

ugarte Trotsky Nobody is stopping OSU or Wisco this year. That is a pre-ordained final. Women's hockey has had four 2-team eras since the national title began: 2001-05 Minnesota-Duluth (3) Minnesota (2) 2006-11 Wisconsin (4) Minnesota-Duluth (2) 2012-18 Minnesota (4) Clarkson (3) 2019-23 Wisconsin (3) Ohio State (1) 2020 Cornell What might have been had Pandemic Hero Rudy Gobert notby Dafatone - Hockey

Re: ECAC 2024 Discussion Thread - 7 weeks ago
dbilmes Watching the RPI-Clarkson game reminds me of something I noticed when I watched Cornell play up there a few weeks ago. There was no real visitor's penalty box in Cheel Arena. They just opened up the door which led to the visiting team's locker room and the visiting player who was penalized had to stand there until he was released from the penalty box. However, it now looks like they haveby Dafatone - Hockey

We talking 65% of in? 5%?id call it like a 10 percent chance, could be wrong though. I'm guessing closer to 5, unfortunately.

Trotsky Oh, he didn't have his stick. Deliberate and possibly to cause injury. Throw that fucker out. Dirtier than the O'Byrne, which is when you lose your stick, grab a guy, pin him against the boards, and punch him in the kidneys til you get called for roughing.by Dafatone - Hockey
