Re: NCAA QF - Denver - 28 days ago
Schafer has become a better coach with age. The team has become more consistent and dynamic over the past few years. COVID robbed us of a real shot at the championship, and the last 2 years were special circumstances, but we powered through. I have high hopes for us.by ajh258 - Hockey
Re: Cornell admissions - 29 days ago
George64 Headline in today's NYT - After a Year of Turmoil, Harvard’s Applications Drop. Cornell’s 5139 admitted students represent 50 states plus Washington, D.C., Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico, as well as 93 countries. Based on citizenship, admitted students represent 107 countries outside the United States. UG admissions office decided a few years ago to stop releasiby ajh258 - John Spencer Is Dead

ER That seems to be all anyone cares about. We haven’t lost a game since December 2. What other team can say that? LONGEST UNBEATEN STREAKS TO OPEN CALENDAR YEAR Program History • 21 games — 21-0-0 — 1970 • 18 games — 18-0-0 — 1969 • 16 games — 16-0-0 — 1968 • 12 games — 10-0-2 — 2024 It's not good enough! Still 9 away from the record! Jk We are having a great run. Like mike said, juby ajh258 - Hockey

Re: Stats - 2 years ago
Jim Hyla nshapiro If I am reading the CHN pages correctly, RPI uses weighted winning percentage, so it is better to lose an OT game on the road (.45 * 1.2) than win an OT game at home (.55* .8)? That can't be correct can it? Wouldn't surprise me. 0.45*1.2 = 0.54 -> road tie loss 0.55*0.8 = 0.44 -> home tie win This disparity is pretty significant. So by tying at home, you're alreadby ajh258 - Hockey
Re: Polls - 2 years ago
Poll are basically 90% wrong this point in the year, and RPI was abysmally bad this weekend. We probably should be somewhere lower like where we are on Pairwise. We also haven’t played Quinnipiac, Clarkson, and ND. That said, the performance has been above expectations so far. This is still among the top half of teams under Schafer era.by ajh258 - Hockey
Re: Would this help recruiting? NCAA Permit Athletes to Profit - 4 years ago
Maybe we should hire someone to help drive revenues here if Ivy League allows this. $1.5m profitability is not a crazy sales profitability target even if we can't find a rich alumnus.by ajh258 - Hockey
Re: Would this help recruiting? NCAA Permit Athletes to Profit - 4 years ago
Jim Hyla ajh258 All the team has to do is take the revenue they make from merchandise and attribute it to players' likeness. That money used to go to the team and cannot be directly used to subsidize tuition and school costs due to Ivy League rules while the other schools have been doing it for years. $50k tuition x 30 players = $1.5m to completely cover athletes' cost of attendance. $1by ajh258 - Hockey

Re: ECAC SF Lake Placid: Brown vs. Cornell - 5 years ago
Dafatone ajh258 A win is a win, but given how we've played this second half + home games against Union, and how Brown is red hot, our chances don't look great... Union is a very good team and we looked better than them all three games. If we play a good game we should have a good shot against brown. Brown's a good team too.

Re: Cornell-Harvard 1/23 - 9 years ago
TimV ajh258 Wouldn't be a problem if he made the NCAA tourney a bit more often and win some games when he gets there. Gotta throw the bullshit flag on that one. Winning games in-season is the thing. Playing an entertaining brand of hockey also would help- not necessarily wide-open offensively but also not in a style that makes you feel like it's over if we go down 1-0.

Re: Cornell at RPI - 9 years ago
Mike Schafer has done a good job and no one disputes his contributions to the team, but it has been more evident year after year that he should start thinking about passing the torch. Maybe there will be a good season here and there, but bigger picture, fans have lowered their expectations over time and the program has reached a plateau.by ajh258 - Hockey
Re: cornell - quin sat night - 9 years ago
ebilmes It's weird because I actually think that our style has become more offensive-minded than a few years ago. Instead of dump-and-chase, I'm seeing a lot more cross-ice passes through the neutral zone. Instead of being content to grind along the boards, our big guys are trying to get the puck towards the net and we're taking some one-timers if we see some space. Our style is definitely morby ajh258 - Hockey
