Michigan-Cornell@MSG - 11 years ago
MSG has not been kind to the Red, but they've been one minute/one bad call away from winning their last two appearances there. It's difficult to overstate just how big this game is. It will be awesome being there. LGRby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Mouth @ Cornell - 11 years ago
Trotsky Jim HylaI've felt all along that our chances next year are much better.I feel like this is the year. Espo and Miller are exceptional players and losing them is going to hurt a lot. I am hoping for a Jack Parker type of season -- head-scratching losses and experiments until mid-January, then an SDJ. Birch and D'agostino are just as exceptional. (Especially Birch.

Re: Mouth @ Cornell - 11 years ago
Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that both of Ferlin's penalties were in retaliation, not just one. And at least one of Mowrey's as well.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Mouth @ Cornell - 11 years ago
Trotsky BearLover Another disappointment for a team that cannot afford too many more. They outplayed their opponent once again, but once again struggled to score. They also continue to take stupid penalties and don't clear their zone consistently. With that said, they were better than a 1 point team this weekend. Other than the Ferlin frustration penalty (where he got the first hack in for freby BearLover - Hockey

Re: Hahvahd @ Cornell - 11 years ago
Cornell lost due to any number of reasons, but lack of effort and intensity was not one of them. You could tell they were playing as hard as they possibly could the entire game. They must be incredibly frustrated right now, more than the seniors on this team can ever remember. Freshman year they won these games. Sophomore year they were legitimately mediocre. Junior year they had to wait forby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Hahvahd @ Cornell - 11 years ago
Cornell outplayed them, but a horrible turnover by D'agostino and a single incredible offensive play by Harvard swung the game in their favor.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ Q - 11 years ago
...And for the third game in a row, Cornell heads into the 3rd period down 2-0. I disagree with the comment about the lack of hustle; I think they're hustling, they're just pressing too hard and taking bad penalties as a result. Many of their other penalties are inexcusable, such as Bardreau's check on a power play and basically everything De Swardt does. They think they're more skilled than tby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Cornell Alumni in the Pros: April 2012 - 12 years ago
billhoward Luke 05 As expected, Moulson balances Bitz out for Cornell sportsmanship and is nominated for the only award in professional sports with "Lady" in the name: >>> "With six penalty minutes, became the first player since Paul Kariya in 1996-97 to score at least 30 goals and have single-digit penalty minutes." Two of the penalties were a double minor. Mattby BearLover - Hockey

Re: Lacrosse April 2012 - 12 years ago
Al DeFlorio Brown wins it 10-9 with a goal in last five seconds. Now it all depends on winning the Ivy tournament. Cornell is out if they don't win the Ivy Tourney?by BearLover - Other Sports
Re: 2012 TBRW Awards - 12 years ago
jtn27 Even though Esposito was clearly valuable to the team as evidenced by how they played when he was hurt, I don't think you can give the MVP to a guy that missed significant time. I would give it to Greg Miller for being the team leader in both goals and assists. Yeah, it's gotta be Miller. There should be a toughness award--Espo would certainly win that. Birch, Lowry, and McCarron alsby BearLover - Hockey
Re: Season Review - 12 years ago
If you follow the players on Facebook/Twitter, it's pretty apparent that they're buying into the Big Red tradition and really appreciate Cornell hockey's history and following. While they are bummed out over the loss, all of them have posted about how great their run has been and seem more proud than upset, as they should be. Most of all, they are very sad to have to say goodbye to the seniors.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Cornell-Ferris State In Progress - 12 years ago
snert1288 I'm curious whether we get D'Agostino back for next year. I know it's way to early to be thinking about, but I think he is a real asset to this team. I'd guess he'll be back. He's in line to be captain and he hasn't been incredible (ready for the NHL) by any means...he had a pretty slow end to this season.by BearLover - Hockey
Re: Cornell-Ferris State In Progress - 12 years ago
Good season, sad to see it end. The Red definitely could have won this game, and while Michigan looked better then Cornell last night, the boys looked no worse than their opposition tonight. Some bad luck and bad mistakes led to the Ferris State goals. Iles was down too early for the second goal and may have overplayed the first, but he played well as a whole throughout both games. The defensby BearLover - Hockey

css228 BearLover Add this to the list of ridiculously close games Cornell has played in the tournament in the last decade. Is this the only one they won in OT, though? No, a memorable regional final in '03 went to double overtime. Matt McRae made SportsCenter the next day. Indeedby BearLover - Hockey

Re: Cornell 3 Michigan 2 post game - 12 years ago
Trotsky Ronald '09 I'm not sure if this was already mentioned and I missed it or not, but did de Swardt get a game misconduct or a game DQ?Consensus was just a GM. God knows what Mike will do, though. That's twice in three games. Is the benefit of De Swardt in the lineup worth the bad penalties he will undoubtedly take? I wouldn't think so, although he seemed to play well tonight aside from thby BearLover - Hockey

Re: Harvard 6 Cornell 1 ECAC post-game (post-mortem?) - 12 years ago
Great post, not much else to say. This was by far the worst loss of the season in the season's biggest game. Win and we're in, but I can't say I'm too confident about it.by BearLover - Hockey

jtn27 Rougeau's game winner made today's SportsCenter Top 10. (So did Cornell Lacrosse, unfortunately for the wrong reason.) It wouldn't be ESPN if some of the best hockey goals ever weren't beat out by average dunks in meaningless games.by BearLover - Hockey

Re: Cornell-Dartmouth Game 1 (Friday) Pregame - 12 years ago
CowbellGuy Also, I'm quite sure the second goal was D'Agostino's. His initial shot went under the crossbar and back out quickly. It was fairly inconsequential since Espo knocked in the rebound, but those of us with a good view of it were pretty sure the first shot went in. I thought the same. And yeah, incredibly gutsy performance by Espo.by BearLover - Hockey

Re: Lacrosse 2012 - Michigan lacrosse plays indoors - 12 years ago
Towerroad Swampy semsox I'm more worried this injury will keep him out longer than 6 weeks, and possibly the season. If that's a possibility, I have to imagine Rob has lots of scenarios going through his head right now, most of them not the best. Beyond healing the injury itself, there's the issue of conditioning. I doubt he can run or even use his leg for much while it's healing. So leg strenby BearLover - Other Sports
