Re: Where are our Alumni Playing Now - 6 years ago
BearLover Beeeej Nice. Of the class of '18, that now leaves just Jared Fiegl and Ryan Bliss. I thought Bliss isn't graduating this year? Does anyone have a definitive answer on this? He's still class of '18 unless he elects to reaffiliate.by Beeeej - Hockey

Trotsky billhowardMcDonald must have exceptional talent, an excess of optimism, or he has a fluid motion with his stick hand that gets the gate open. Omar was world class in that.Dude gets a Cornell degree and you never know with injuries.

Re: Cornell-BU - 6 years ago
upprdeck SCst played a tougher SOS and that got them beat by air force.. I don't think anybody was suggesting that playing a tougher schedule was a guarantee of better post-season success.by Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Cornell-BU - 6 years ago
jeff '84 And how much “more prepared” would we have been? At the game, I thought it was pretty even and, like others have said, we just didn’t get the bounces. When I watched on TV the next day, I thought we outplayed them on balance (and held that offense to 3 third period shots). We were very ready to play the best teams out there. It's not like BU was the best team in the country, even as muby Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Next Year's predictions/Expectations 2018-19 - 6 years ago
KenP Frozen four would exceed expectations.... can't wait! I agree on that, even if I think next year's team will have what it takes to get there. Once you reach the NCAA regionals, you still need things to go your way.by Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Next Year's predictions/Expectations 2017-18 - 6 years ago
It's funny, but given how everyone (including Coach Schafer) has been talking about the way this team outperformed expectations for such a freshman-heavy squad, about 61-69% of us are looking pretty prescient right now. At least that's until you remember that we lost in the ECAC semifinals, which in most other seasons would probably have landed us right below the bubble for an at-large bid. In faby Beeeej - Hockey

scoop85 Trotsky billhoward So no Donato to worry about next year.Just one less thing to worry about. Just one less thing to worry about. Harvard's got a forward recruit coming in, Oliver Wahlstrom, who's projected to go 7th or 8th overall in this year's draft. Assuming he doesn't sign his NHL contract, I'm sure he'll be a handful to deal with.by Beeeej - Hockey

Trotsky Beeeej jtwcornell91 Beeeej I still remember Cornell as the #8 winning a three-game series at #3 RPI in 1998, during the idiotic years of the 10-team ECAC playoffs (and we wouldn't have needed the third game if every single ref hadn't completely missed a puck actually going in, hitting the back of the goal, and springing right back out right in front of us visiting fans).

ursusminor BTW, Tom just posted his first WaP entry since last summer, an interesting and thought provoking post from the RPI viewpoint. Fantastic piece, and I really hadn't known about most of those numbers. I know my perspective is skewed, but I still keenly remember (and even feel) Ross Lemon failing to pot a penalty shot in a loss to RPI in the 1990 ECAC semifinals on his birthday.

Beeeej scoop85 Looks like we've been demoted "Cloud State"? "North Dame"? I'd say the numerical error is the least of their problems. Looks like they fixed all the issues. I couldn't help myself, so I emailed the press contact.by Beeeej - Hockey

Re: Ticket info & Who's going to Worcester? - 6 years ago

Re: Ticket info & Who's going to Worcester? - 6 years ago
cuhockey93 So the CU allotment price is $95, yet BU is only charging their students $20 with transportation? For current students only, and a very limited number of those, and most of them subsidized by alumni. Are you offering to do the same for Cornell?by Beeeej - Hockey
