Funny considering quite a few of the past years Syer has subbed for Schafer behind at Princeton due to illnessHe's something like 9-1 (yes, I know the results go to Mike). That was before Schafer was out with an illness in 2021-22. Syer’s record wasn’t as good that year.by BearLover - Hockey

Refs blew the non-call. The idea that refs should call the game differently in the final minutes is the absolute stupidest notion in sports. Then Cornell blew the pass to the open man. It would be a shame if this costs them the NCAA tournament.by BearLover - Other Sports

Trotsky I did not know that. Yikes. Yeah no offense but have you really never clicked the stats page of an opposing player on CHN or a similar site? This has been happening in every college sport, not just hockey, since 2020-21.

Trotsky Fillion leaves Q, to go with Quillan and soon to be Graf. Rand will just go shopping in the Portal, but still nice to see the volatility. We're stating to look like preseason favorites. I’m still confused, do you want the ECAC to be strong or not? Good Q players transferring out is bad for the strength of the league.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: ECAC Early and Grad Departures 2024 - 6 weeks ago
George64 BearLover I agree. It’s evidence of an honestly run program, plus evidence that the players value the Cornell degree. In the world of the transfer portal, if your school provides a valuable four-year degree, that’s a benefit. And I agree that if we had Malone and Tupker, we’d still be playing. I agree, but Malone and Tupker both graduated. They didn’t just bolt for greener pastuby BearLover - Hockey

I am hoping Ayrton Martino of Clarkson signs a pro deal. Third round draft pick of Dallas and one of Clarkson’s leading scorers each of his three college seasons. You’d think he would be a good candidate to sign a pro deal, but maybe the Stars don’t have the space. Given Clarkson’s season ended weeks ago, I guess he’ll unfortunately be back.

arugula Seger still has a grad year? Go to another school? I think both Bancroft and Ondrej would be nuts to go pro now. Their games are nowhere near ready for NHL and do they want to toil away in the ECHL or AHL versus getting coached maximally by Schaf to be as ready as possible. Minor league money is not that good.
