Re the 2022 championship game, and taking off the carnelian tinted glasses: yes, the final score was 9-7, but undefeated #1 seed Maryland led 9-2 late in the first half. It was a hot day, it was the 2nd game in 3 days, and the Terps realized they were in full control. So they let up a bit. Had Cornell made a serious threat to win (they did not), I have no doubt that the Terps would have come backby CU77 - Other Sports

Dryden did backstop the one-loss 1967 hockey team to an NCAA championship as a "sophomore sensation" (Cornell Daily Sun description of him after an early season win), and IIRC he did not play in that one loss.by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! - 6 weeks ago
This 2023 article on coaches' salaries at Maryland gives an idea: Tillman had a base salary of $380K and supplemental income of $110K. Another comparison: Michigan head coach Kevin Conry had a base salary of $240K in 2024, assistant coach Scott Bieda (on staff since 2022) had a base salary of $99K. Cornell salaries will almost certainly not be higher than Michigan's. For thosby CU77 - Other Sports

From poster Chousnake at fanlax (not sure if he's present here or not), a useful summary of recent history: So let's talk about what Coach Buczek and Coach Stevens have done for this program. Everybody today is talking how close Cornell has come to winning before finally breaking through yesterday. But there is so much more to the story than that. The Cornell program hit rock bottom in 2017by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! - 6 weeks ago
That timeout was nowhere close to "one of the worst ever"! In the moment, I agreed with it. Cornell looked to be about to lose the ball, and I felt that early momentum just after halftime in a one-goal game was important (and so, apparently, did Buczek). You are correct that the player on the ground (Gilmartin I think) flipped a great desperation pass that was successful, but Buczekby CU77 - Other Sports

He can be vulnerable. Q&C neglected to mention that he had zero saves aginst five goals in the first half of last year's national championship game against ND, and finished with 10 saves against 15 goals. And Maryland somehow lost to Michigan, Rutgers, and OSU this year.by CU77 - Other Sports

The only version of that rule that I know of is that a defenseman cannot "recklessly" enter the crease and endanger the goalie. Defensemen often go into the crease to try to block shots if the goalie is far out of the crease.by CU77 - Other Sports
