Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 6 weeks ago
Robb DU, UMich, BC, BU. Does the blood get any bluer? The two western teams with the most championships and the two eastern teams with the most championships. Yawn. Take a look at what’s going on in the transfer portal right now and you’ll see where all the parity went.by BearLover - Hockey

Re: Recruits 2024 and Beyond - 6 weeks ago
I think Walsh was a fairly unique case. It’s possible, though. One analog to Robertson is Alex Green, another puck moving D who was drafted in the fourth round in 2018 after his freshman season at Cornell. Green had several inches on Robertson but nowhere near Robertson’s level of production in either juniors or during freshman year.by BearLover - Hockey

scoop85 BearLover I just got scooped…by scoop! Seriously, I was in the middle of typing out a very similar post. I agree with much of what you said. I’m not sure how it would work regarding the goalie situation—will the Cornell coaches hold one of them back in juniors? Frankly, whoever comes next year will just be waiting behind Shane anyway, so I don’t think it makes much sense from either Corneby BearLover - Hockey

Trotsky If it's possible to hold guys for another year of USCHO seasoning, now would be when to do it. 17 Forwards and 11 Defenseman fighting for 12 / 6 / +1 slots, respectively, is 9 guys sitting, not including 3 goalies not named Ian Shane. Since all 14 returning F seem to be keepers, I wonder if we will see one or more drop back? I could see Wallace on the blue line. If Rayhill has bby BearLover - Hockey

Beeeej ugarte "Can't we pull one damn upset" just doesn't rock my world the way "Clemsoning" became a synonym for choking until they finally won one. Yes, I want to win a championship but there have been two teams in my life that I thought were actually reasonably capable of it. One lost in the semifinals and one was taken away BY THE GLOBALISTS.

Re: NCAA QF - Denver - 6 weeks ago
Scersk '97 BearLover Somebody just needs to do the math: What percentage of the time does a 2 beat a 1? What percentage of the time does a 3 beat a 1? Etc. Then, you can calculate Cornell’s expected win percentage in the NCAA quarterfinals over the years. That will show you how lucky or unlucky we’ve gotten (hint: extremely unlucky).

Re: Recruits 2024 and Beyond - 6 weeks ago
If the hockey gods came to me with an offer to make the ECAC mediocre for all eternity, I think I would accept. Take this year for example: —great shot at another piece of hardware (ECAC championship) and automatic bid —no signs whatsoever that a weak ECAC impeded our ability to play with the best (we played two of our best games of the season in the NCAAs against the #5 and #3 teams in the couby BearLover - Hockey

Re: NCAA QF - Denver - 6 weeks ago
My point isn’t that this was not a strong year. It was a great year. The ECAC championship was awesome. I will look back on it fondly for a long time. My point is that all of this is meaningless in the context of today’s game. These tropes make us feel better about the crushing loss, but they don’t mean it’s not a crushing loss. Like, we could tell ourselves it was a great year in one month, or yby BearLover - Hockey

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 7 weeks ago
Quinnipiac winning would typically really blow. Especially since I was really hoping BC got upset, but now I’ll have to root for them next round. Despite all this, the damage was already done when Q won last year. Can’t go back on that now. Diminishing marginal pain from Q winning again.by BearLover - Hockey

That was the first time Cornell looked this way the entire season. I’m not sure if it was partially the superior broadcast quality or if Cornell really did just reach another defensive gear tonight.
