Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - Yesterday
Larry72 chimpfood Man we’ve got a real winnable game up next too. Denver didn’t look good against UMass, will be gassed from double OT, and we beat them last year. Let’s get Schafer his frozen four that he deserves. Remember that Denver is playing essentially at sea level instead of 5000"+, they have a day off, and they all are in great shape (as is Cornell)! Agree that Denver didn't lookby BearLover - Hockey

Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - Yesterday
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. The first period was dicey but after that the defense and compete level were off the charts.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - Yesterday
cth95 I was a dairy farmer and always worked when I was sick. I would want to play. The difference is, I was helping people by getting my chores done so they didn't have to do extra work. On a team in an important game, you would be hurting your teammates if you tired quickly and your reflexes were slower than normal. As a goalie, a split second can be the difference between a great save andby BearLover - Hockey

Al DeFlorio Cornell would be better prepared for tomorrow night's game if we had played a Hockey East schedule this year. Four HEA teams made the NCAAs this year. Had Q won the ECACs, there would have been one ECAC team, and it wouldn't have been Cornell, despite a twenty win season. I don't buy your self-serving logic, BearLover, one bit. Winning the ECACs was much more satisfying when Cby BearLover - Hockey

Pghas pjd8 BearLover RichH BearLover I’ll get yelled at for saying this, but…turns out having five draft picks in your freshman class (maybe six, if Robertson gets picked this year) is a good thing. And, in another one of BearLover’s Classic Takes, the conference being weak this year helped us too…to win a championship, the teams we had to beat were ranked 50th, 29th, and 43rd in the PWR… Ah, bby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 2 days ago
Iceberg chimpfood On the CHN podcast today Adam said that he supports teams being able to host regionals in their own rinks but should only play there if they are a one or two seed. To me, this makes no sense to not just do home games for the first two rounds. Firstly, it shows that he has no issue with schools hosting NCAA games in their home rink and this system doesn’t eliminate home advantageby BearLover - Hockey

Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 5 days ago
fastforward BearLover Dunc Unfortunately for us students a lot of people may have Prelims the Thursday before spring break - I imagine some will try to come on Saturday tho if we advance Hopefully the hockey players don’t. Most of them do and they have to leave 2 days ahead so they may miss several So how’s that gonna work?by BearLover - Hockey

Re: ECAC Final - St. Lawrence?! - 6 days ago
upprdeck at large vs auto does nothing to the seedings. the autos could be 13-16 just as easy as an at large Not this year. This year, the autobids are 15 and 16. EDIT: I meant the autobids from AHA and CCHA.by BearLover - Hockey

Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 6 days ago
Iceberg ER What if we had lost tonight? From what I've read there would've been no shot at an at-large as 14-16 would've been taken up by the AHA, CCHA, and SLU. And as far as next week, it seems that a re-match with Denver is inevitable, although in the western regional this time Better than having to play BU or BC.by BearLover - Hockey

Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 6 days ago
Can someone explain what the problem with Albany was? If you live in the tri-state area it is easily accessible. Lake Placid is not. Many more fans would be able to attend the games if it were held in a more central location like Albany. Was Albany attendance not higher than Lake Placid? Personally, I’m probably never making it up to Lake Placid, but Albany would be easy for me and I’d go most/alby BearLover - Hockey
