Re: IVY League standings - 4 years ago
adamw French Rage Trotsky adamw Trotsky nshapiro djk26 I've always wanted the NHL to do 4 points for a regulation win, 3 points for an OT win, 2 points for a shootout win and 1 point for a shootout loss (and 0 points for a loss before the shootout.) I wonder if that would incentivize teams to be more aggressive to try to score. Probably not. I would prefer to see every game worth 5 points: 5 -by French Rage - Hockey

Re: 2020-01-10: Cornell 3 RPI 0 - 4 years ago
Scersk '97 With all these references to ‘03 and ‘06 is everyone implicitly agreeing with me, that ’05 was actually the best team of the aughts? No team has reminded me more of that team than this one. We have a chance in every game, even when we fall, within reason, behind. Exciting times. I'd still put 03 above 05 (maybe bias since I was still an undergrad then), but I'd put 05 aheadby French Rage - Hockey

Iceberg This PBP guy is one of the worst I've heard in a long time Given it's a student (I think) I'll go easy on him. But yes he has had a fair number of mistakes, mainly identifying if the puck left the zone or not.by French Rage - Hockey
Re: Las Vegas Roll Call - 4 years ago
Beeeej They'd better not change the schedule on the fly a second time - I think people sort of understood this time, but a non-zero number of Cornell fans legitimately missed the championship game and they simply cannot afford to lose that sort of goodwill again, potential participant schools talk to each other. At least that won't be an issue for the Frozen Four. Honest question because I don'by French Rage - Hockey

RichH But I had a good time, because I know my comfort areas, and can get away from the overstimulating noise. It also carries some nostalgia for me. On top of that, it was a well run tournament overall. Ushers were friendly and left us to sit where we pleased. They provided bands, which shows they kind of “get” what the college game is about.

Re: Fortress Invitational - 4 years ago
Since anything beyond the first OT wasn't official, I think the tournament officials should have had more fun with it. Maybe have them play broomball for an OT, and play with multiple pucks. Live a little!by French Rage - Hockey

jkahn I asked Coach about next year's OOC schedule at the Q&A at the Fortress pre-game reception. North Dakota at Lynah (2) - per a player's parents this is our opener CU at Arizona State (2) - although Mike said something about a tournament, so I'm not sure if they are both vs. ASU Yale at MSG AIC at Lynah Cornell at Providence @ASU?

Roy 82 Trotsky marty dbilmes For some strange reason, I turned on the UMass-Brown game, which is currently airing on NESN. I have never seen such an empty rink. There appear to be more people on the ice then in the stands. The announcer typically has to take a break between periods. My understanding is that he makes it down to the concession stand..... to serve the Coke and hot cocoa.IINM Eddiby French Rage - Hockey

Re: 2019-12-07: Cornell at Dartmouth - 4 years ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 Sadly, I figured this would be the one they'd lose, especially since Dartmouth seems to have a decent team this year. Whatever, now that we've got that behind us, let's just continue taking care of business. Also our first loss in 2003, so not bad company.by French Rage - Hockey
Re: Polls 2019-20 - 4 years ago
Trotsky I'll bet the 1970 team's SOS was awful. Turns out they don't withhold the trophy for that. I was gonna make a comment about the 1956 Clarkson team, but it looks like they were left out due to ineligible players rather than a soft schedule.by French Rage - Hockey
