Re: Polls - 12 years ago
Well considering that we stole the *you're not a funnel, etc.." from clarkson I believe and stole the "awwww- see ya" from Michigan I'd hardly paint them as unimaginative villains.

Re: I hate to say this, but... - 15 years ago
HockeyManDisplacedCornellian I, too, think Schafer needs to stick/return to his style of big, punishing teams. Cornell is never going to be able to recruit enough quick, skilled players to play a run-and-gun style. With our reputation as a defense first team, the majority look elsewhere, and only a few fall in our lap. That reputation is not going to change in the near future. I think Schby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Cornell-Bemidji NCAA regionals postgame - 15 years ago
Lowell '99Lowell, you missed the boat- that was Tims point. <snip> He and I are both saying you can't live with no offense. 2) I'm sure Schafer would love to have tons of talented scorers, and in fact, has brought in a few (Moulson, Knopp, Vesce, and Moynihan come to mind). What I'm not sure of is if your critique is of the type of players brought in or the style he prefers.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: Cornell-Bemidji NCAA regionals postgame - 15 years ago
Lowell '99Huh??? What did you agree with? Can we live with zero offense or not? I agree with not hating on Schafer's system when we've had lots of success, and also with the idea that a purely defensive game is a part of that system. The offense is more control-oriented than breakout-oriented (or "skilled", but it is not always absent. Furthermore, you can't ignore the role of sby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Cornell-Bemidji NCAA regionals postgame - 15 years ago
GermCUontheslopesLet's not forget how good our special teams were. It seems to me the biggest problem is our PP. We were something like 39th in the country. You can get away with being a great defensive team if you score 2-3 pp goals a game. When you don't...you struggle. I'm sorry, but the 03 team would be a beast no matter who they played. Of course, had a puck bounced our way in 05 or 06 we'dby abmarks - Hockey

Re: Cornell-Bemidji NCAA regionals postgame - 15 years ago
CUontheslopes I disagree with all the Schafer-defensive style haters out there who say we need to play more skilled offense. WE just need to execute better on the Schafer system. The better teams from prior years (thinking 03 and 05) forced the other teams to play our game. We were bigger, stronger and just beat the everloving crap out of our opponents.

Al DeFlorioabmarks I do grasp it perfectly. But you are mixing aned matching your points. Sorry, but my point has been precisely consistent, and has also been made by Trotsky and billhoward. It was about as good a situation as you could ever expect for a Cornell team with significant flaws to advance, and it's disappointing we weren't able to take advantage.

Re: go bemidji, I guess - 15 years ago
I'm rooting for UVM and wearing the jersey. I've been waiting 35 years for a UVM title, only 20+ for a Cornell one. And for those not partisan, UVM fans are really much mor fun than BU ones.by abmarks - Hockey
Re: go bemidji, I guess - 15 years ago
They might make the final, but I think BU/UVM winner would smoke them if they do. Both those teams can skate circles around them. So yeah, I think I agree!by abmarks - Hockey
Re: NCAA Regional Final: Cornell (1) vs. Bemidji (3) - 3rd Period - 15 years ago
Al DeFlorioTrotskyIt's the height of irony that after four decades of needing multiple major post-season upsets to have even a glimmer of a chance at winning the national championship, when, for the first and probably the last time, the seas part... they squandered it. This is exactly what abmarks is seemingly unable to grasp. We didn't have to beat a WCHA champion on their home turf. We had tby abmarks - Hockey

Re: NCAA Regional Final: Cornell (1) vs. Bemidji (3) - 3rd Period - 15 years ago
TrotskyIf there is any small consolation, it's that Mike found this program a ruin and brought it to the point where a team felt had an okay shot at reaching reach Albany wins the ECAC SF and advances in the NCAAs, and it feels like they let themselves down hugely. That says this is a great program, with many great years ahead. But still, this is one of the 2 or 3 most frustrating nights inby abmarks - Hockey

adamwIt's really hard to believe this team played like that with the lead, and 1-1 going into the third. Of all the ways Cornell would lose, I wouldn't have thought it would be like that. Very sloppy and lack of energy for a long time. Just getting it back now, but too late? Adam- do you really think we have the offensive talent to pot 2 without getting real lucky?
