Re: IJ article on next year - 13 years ago
Trotsky Ronald '09So two questions...is Omar Kanji actually competent in net? We'll probably find out in Florida, when Andy will presumably be with team USA in Calgary/Edmonton. Also, who will be the third goalie? Do we have any 2011 recruits or 2012 recruits that can come a year earlier, or does the coaching staff have to go out and find someone new now?

Re: NCAA title UMD 3, Michigan 2 OT - 13 years ago
KeithK css228 Oh I agree entirely, but if you hear a great commentator (this is especially true of baseball) like a Harry Kalas, a Jack Buck, a Vin Scully or Gene Hart and Gus Johnson for a pair of non baseball examples, they can add something to the game. There's just something about a good call that resonates and reflects exactly what you're thinking at that moment. I'm not supporting the Tim Mby css228 - Hockey

Jim Hyla Best post from the USCHO blog, sorry Adam, during the game: Mich fans have stolen Cornell's schtick... maybe that's why CCHA fans won't support them. Not only have they stolen it, but they think they're being original because they added a ton of profanity... i don't even want to mention what happened to the cya chant... makes the old version of ours look family friendlyby css228 - Hockey
Re: ECAC Inferiority - 13 years ago
Kyle Rose NYBIGred80 How would a Ivy League split from ECAC work out? I'm imagining it would result in the Ivy League schools' eventual national irrelevance. Also see: football. Probably though we'd stand a better chance of relevance in hockey. Still, best not tempt fate.by css228 - Hockey

Re: Big Ten Hockey Conference - 13 years ago
Robb TrotskyI was referring to the Big Ten rule that once you hit 6 you must play as the BT. I know this has been debated endlessly on USCHO and various people have (or think they have) different information, but I'm 95% certain that the rule is that the B10 may not sponsor a sport unless at least 6 member schools participate in it. In other words, 6 schools playing hockey is a necessary conditiby css228 - Hockey

Jim Hyla KeithK cu722001 As much as intercollegiate athletics exploits the atheletes, it corrupts the wider student body even more.

Josh '99 Trotsky I dunno. Things have changed or we traveled in different circles (both likely true), but aside from the occasional SCA event at Risley I don't remember too many moments of "party scene" at Cornell.

Re: Big Ten Hockey Conference - 13 years ago
Trotsky If the emphasis is on only the best teams making the national tournament, the solution is to cut back autobids and cut back the tournament field. Assuming 1 autobid per conference (the current 5 + the future BTHC), a 12 team tourney would still allow 6 at large teams (translation: 4 from the WCHA and BTHC, 1 from HE, and 1 from the ECAC or CCHA). I don't advocate that at all but that'sby css228 - Hockey

I may have talked myself into it (who am I kidding of course I have), but I'd really like to see the ECAC go after ND and Miami. Miami can't afford the travel costs of the WCHA, HE probably won't expand to the Midwest, Miami probably won't go for AHA, and I think we're all pretty certain the CCHA doesn't stand a chance so ruling out some drastic realignment of the WCHA and CCHA, Miami and ND willby css228 - Hockey
