Re: Opponent News 18-19 - 5 years ago
pfibiger Trotsky pfibigerWould Ben Syer apply? I’d take a hard look at him if I were running that search.If he aims for a head coaching gig that seems like an ideal job. In the conference so he's already quite familiar, and he comes on the heels of a legendary coach failing to fix a shitshow which suggests there is NOTHING but upside. Plus while small SLU is a prestige gig with ahem "totalby Beeeej - Hockey

Swampy Beeeej Trotsky Jim HylaAll that I heard was that in the next 2 years we're going to ASU and Las Vegas.This is great news. I assumed Tempe but didn't know about Vegas (or had forgotten). Is the latter part of a new tournament? If I were ASU I would so host a Christmas tournament in Vegas. I'll bet they could get anybody there. Where is Cornell on the 2019 schedule?

Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 5 years ago
arugula I know those were home and homes, that was my point, though I may have been less than clear. I still don't get the lack of HE teams. How would I do it? Now, it's my job? How I would do it is irrelevant, aside from the fact that I'm not in that business, that's for the program to figure out. My job is to drive 8 hours round trip in the rain (well the rain was only about 5 hours) toby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 5 years ago
arugula Got it. So assuming that's the case, getting MSU to do the home and home was an anomaly, yet Colorado College came a few years back, North Dakota too so it's not impossible. I just don't get the dearth of HE teams. Is it just the long bus ride? I guess, as Brown, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton all play HE teams, not to mention Harvard's cross town games with BC and BU, plus the Beanpot.by Beeeej - Hockey
Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 5 years ago
arugula Beeeej arugula Good breakdown of yesterday, just a bit rosy for me. As I said elsewhere, I wish the OOC schedule were stronger. How do we not play HE teams, except BU every other year. No NCHC. Rarely Big 10. And when we do, it's Merrimack or Michigan State, and not stronger teams. We should drop the Atlantic hockey teams and avoid WCHA. Losses to top teams are better that beatingby Beeeej - Hockey

Re: Cornell - Providence - 5 years ago
jkahn jtwcornell91 I really hate the "no distinct kicking motion" rule. And his skate was clearly moving in the direction of the goal, so if that isn't a distinct kicking motion, what is? It clearly wasn't a deflection off the skate. His body was moving in the direction of the goal; presumably, if his skate was moving a little faster than the rest of his body, that would've been a diby Beeeej - Hockey

From the Cornell Hockey Association: CHA Need a ride to Providence for the NCAAs? There is room on the Big Red Pep Band bus. It will leave the Fischell Band Center at 8:00 a.m. sharp on Saturday; ETA on arrival in Providence: 3:15 p.m. Bus will head to the Best Western in Warwick (phone number for reservations: 833-517-3776; several other hotels in walking distance) after game to drop offby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Cornell - Northeastern - 5 years ago
scoop85 ugarte Swampy Trotsky I've always assumed betting is a tax on the stupid, like the lottery, or MLM. It's one of the billions of ways people have come up with to suck the pockets dry of people who think "I know I can beat an industry where the house is guaranteed to win because I am smarter than the other bettors," which is demonstrably proven false by the fact that the people sby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Cornell - Northeastern - 5 years ago
Trotsky They are 25:1 by the .04 odds above. Not being a betting person at all this is probably a dumb question. When Cornell is 18-to-1 to win can you bet against that event (win $1 or pay out $18)? If so I would think you could get rich just betting against popular teams based on their delusional-fan-goosed odds. But I'm still never betting on anything.

Can people actually attempt to make puns or jokes rather than say this, which is not itself funny? Probably. But I have a dogpile of work to do. If my boss were to catch me on here, he'd bark at me.

Re: ECAC SF Lake Placid: Brown vs. Cornell - 5 years ago
CU2007 Any of you pairwise guys know what our chances look like if we lose to Brown? Leaving aside all the probabilities mentioned in other responses to your query, simply plugging in a Brown win shows us this: Brown + Clarkson final = Cornell at #12 Brown + Harvard final = Cornell at #13 That's also leaving aside all the other conference tournament games that will be played this weekendby Beeeej - Hockey
