Re: Cornell v Union - 8 weeks ago
Trotsky It's a geographical attitude. Every setback is a chance to mewl, attack, and bitch. It's the mating call of an entire metropolitan area of self-obsessed victims. Call it Nassau County Nausea. Privilege Poker. Nothing blowing the GW, sawing south of Westchester, towing it out to sea with a garbage barge and sinking it with all hands wouldn't fix.

Big Dingus ugarte Trotsky Win Saturday, finish 2nd, take a week off, and welcome the fair weather fans back with open arms. what the hell does fair weather fan mean? we watch all the games! we root for them every time! we realistically assess their performance and get annoyed at the greeting card optimism in the face of bad results. the glass is half-empty but it's still my favorite glass.

Re: Cornell v Union - 8 weeks ago
I'm just gonna cling to the hope that we're still shaking off the effects of the flu and that a week off makes a big difference. And if not, well, we have an awful lot of good-looking freshmen. Future's brightby Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell v Union - 8 weeks ago
Trotsky 11 safe seeds. Then up to 5 dark horses. Sure. But "locked in at 11" would mean you need to be top 11 to get in.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell v Union - 8 weeks ago
Big Dingus This pretty much it here though. Tournament locked in at 11 and we are suddenly struggling with low ranked opponents. So odd Locked in at 11?by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 8 weeks ago
By my count, we are 4-1-2 against currently ranked teams. That leaves us at 12-4-4 against currently unranked teams.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
BearLover adamw adamw BearLoverSorry, yeah—the question I’m asking is how much higher our RPI would be if we changed an OT loss to a regulation win. I only mentioned Clarkson because the clear outcome of an effective hand pass challenge would have made this hypothetical a reality. 1.200 for straight win - 0.400 for the OT loss ... but then obviously divide by all the games played so far - and tby Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
adamw BearLover upprdeck coach said they reviewed for goalie interference not a hand pass. I dont think hockey looks at everything in a review like football does. Slow down this video to .25 speed and watch the tying Clarkson goal. Can someone explain how this isn’t a hand pass? The Clarkson player pushes the puck backwards to a teammate with his hand. I guess the coaches must have onlyby Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
upprdeck in the coaches notes. something about a handpass on the clarkson goal they tied it up? They reviewed it for a hand pass. The puck left the face-off circle and then got knocked back in. Clarkson's center was down on his hands and knees, and the puck appeared to hit either his stick or his closed hand around his stick and then squirt back to the d-man. Held up on review.by Dafatone - Hockey

ugarte Trotsky adamw it's all ball bearings nowadays Yeah, but I mean the very end, when he actually died. That was extremely sudden. Goal differential in conference: +54 Qpc +28 Cor +12 Cgt + 1 Drt 0 Uni < 0 Everybody else It's our fault that Dartmouth is positive. As the resident guy who hates Dartmouth more than Harvard, this one hurts.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 2 months ago
sah67 Dafatone If Schafer does get suspended for banging a stick against the boards, that could be a problem next week. I’ve seen him do it at Lynah a couple of other times this season when he was hot about something and couldn’t get the refs’ attention. Definitely just a nothing burger that the SLU drunk uncle announcing crew wanted to make a stink about. Oh totally. I was being sarcastic anby Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 2 months ago
ugarte what a good feeling to come back to elynah to see that we didn't lose after having to turn it off (as opposed to turning it off in anger) down 2-0. obvs annoying that it hurts us in the pairwise but it's always fun to watch your guys come back for the tie than to blow a lead. we all contain multitudes. You missed some state of the art announcer nonsense.by Dafatone - Hockey

chimpfood We’re still gonna be cooked in the pairwise from that tie but hell we showed fight. We're gonna be less cooked than had we lost in OT and waaaaay less cooked than if we didn't tie it up.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 2 months ago
ER Why did they go back to 30 sec on pp? That almost goal was right after Bancroft came out of the box. The offsides was way back then, and everything rewinds to that.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 2 months ago
Gee, I hope Schafer survives whatever discipline he gets from the NCAA for banging a stick on the boards. It sounds serious.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 2 months ago
imafrshmn At 1:31 left, SLU announcer: "aw darn! the shutout would have been nice but the win is still gonna be sweet" Winning, standings, pairwise, etc is all important, but knowing these dopes are unhappy is most important.by Dafatone - Hockey

My sanity versus these announcers is the battle now. You can absolutely lift a stick and keep it tied up for the half a second that a guy is trying to shoot.by Dafatone - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 2 months ago
Trotsky Per the pre-game, we still have a lot of guys sick. Having missed most of the period, I believe it. Turned it on with about two minutes left and thought, "these guys all look like they have the plague."by Dafatone - Hockey

Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
cuhockey93 Lots of people don’t agree you can have a good season and miss the NCAA tournament. It’s as simple as that. The team doesn’t go into the season with win% targets. Certainly the players won’t call that a good season. My three goals every year are get a first round bye, make it to Lake Placid (or wherever the tournament is), and make the NCAAs. If we have a great year by RPI standarby Dafatone - Hockey

Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 2 months ago
Different people value different things. If I had to choose, personally, I'd take the national title. But I understand people who think the ECAC is what matters and the NCAAs are just a fun bonus exercise.by Dafatone - Hockey
