Re: Fake News? - 6 years ago
adamw The reason you're not "getting the press you'd like" is because CHN - and that other place - have 60 teams to cover, and the season has only been, what, 15 weeks so far? That said, Cornell is mentioned - most of the time prominently - in every weekend's roundup, which appear on the front page by every Sunday morning. The other thing is, Cornell doesn't have any individual &qby Johnny 5 - Hockey

Beeeej Johnny 5 Ok,...we sweep the weekend, lock up the Ivy title, move into first place in the ECAC, and COLGATE gets the lead USCHO article because they beat Harvard!? WTF!! Let’s all genuflect before the throne of Colton Point? Not. Honestly, buddy, you're starting to sound like a whining, entitled brat. You want a feature article on Cornell every freakin' week?!

Trotsky Five active players, none of them seniors, have had hat tricks. Those 5 hat tricks in 2 seasons compare with 2 over the prior 11 seasons. Man,...look at ol’ Joey Nieuwendyk!!by Johnny 5 - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Dartmouth 1/27/18 - 6 years ago
During the 100+ years that I’ve been following Cornell hockey both Dartmouth and Brown have been real spoil-sports. But, hey, who’s up for an eighth shutout!? Maybe if we clinch the Ivy title tonight somebody besides the ECAC and Cornell reporters will take notice? Maybe Brown can give Clarkson fits for a change!? Stranger things have happened, right? I’m up for both! Go Big Red!!by Johnny 5 - Hockey

ugarte Jim Hyla... What's nasty about: ... Agreed, jim. People saying that they were doubters who are coming around sounds a lot like... eLynah. Yes, guess I stirred the wrong pot. My forte. Seems like they would rather not appreciate Cornell, but they might have to? I suppose this weekend will be a major determinant??by Johnny 5 - Hockey

Well, Cornell finally gets some respect, sort of (grudgingly). Guess there was a dearth of positive western hockey news?by Johnny 5 - Hockey

Trotsky Johnny 5most shutouts by a freshman goalie in CU history (tie) To be fair, this keeps getting mentioned but it's not a big deal. Get to 10 and we'll talk. Agreed. I was just trying to keep busy before football today. But, I still think our team is under appreciated. I could be biased? 40 years of riding the pine at Lynah will do that to you.by Johnny 5 - Hockey

Re: Opponents News 2: Hockey's the Reason for the Season - 6 years ago
ugarte Beeeej Western Michigan's win over St. Cloud State last night was enough to drop St. Cloud's #3 in the PWR much closer to #4 than to #2, and WMU is leading 2-1 in the 2nd tonight. Could be an interesting end to the weekend.the tie to yale dropped us under .6 and the win over brown didn't pick us back up. i really am still in disbelief that clarkson has the #1 team in the country.

Brown always scares me. I wish I had a tally of the times that Brown was in the cellar and still managed to stick it to us. Sorry,...unintentional stick joke.by Johnny 5 - Hockey
Cornell @ Yale 01/12/18 - 6 years ago
Ok, so...of course we want a four point weekend. But, tonight, Princeton over Hahvahd is a no brainer. However, which is preferable in the Clarkson vs Onion contest? A Clarkson win to give us more breathing room over Onion, or an Onion win to make Clarkson look less omnipotent? Thoughts? Oh, and GO Ben Scrivens!!by Johnny 5 - Hockey
