Watching the USA-Canada women's match tonight (from home, not in person). Johnston playing with the first line and the #1 PP along with Jenner. Saulnier, O'Neill, and Zandee-Hart also playing. Micah was getting some love for her early shifts from the TSN announcers. Johnston with an assist on the first Canada goal.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Princeton - 8 months ago
scoop85 Trotsky Surprisingly good coordination (passing, playmaking) among them considering the lack of game experience. Ertel and Kempf stood out to me -- Ertel (rhymes with turtle) has a soft touch, Kempf was already acting like a leader and a quarterback. Hard to judge because Princeton was a mess and very passive. Impossible to judge the goaltending -- there was zero pressure. The oby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Ken711 Jeff Hopkins '82 Ken711 RichH Jeff Hopkins '82 Yes, but would they fire Archer? In the storybook I make up in my head trying to figure out Andy Noel, the reason he hired a 30 year-old guy to be a coach is so he would never have to do a coaching search again.

Re: Cornell Football 2021 - 8 months ago
CU2007 4th and 16 with the game on the line and they have the right-handed QB roll to his left so he has to make the most awkward throw possible. As opposed to last week? First and goal on the 2 with time running out and they throw a screen that wasn't working all day. Then the QB fumbles it into the end zone on the next play. And Bucknell got shut out by Penn today. We truly are bad. Cby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Football 2021 - 9 months ago
I was at the game. Ugly. Our rushers didn't understand the concept of running downhill. We got one decent rush early on by sweeping outside. After that, Bucknell was able to stop that, every damn time we tried it. The running backs would dance around rather than run through obvious holes, and lose yards in the process. At one point late in the 2nd quarter, we had -4 yards rushing. In theby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Other Sports

Re: ECAC preseason poll - 9 months ago
Let's be honest. We have an untested goalie and a lot of underclassmen. I'm happy with 4th, especially since the top two are teams that played last year. And #3 is Sucks, who always profit from poll inflation.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Cornell Football 2021 - 9 months ago
George64 Ken711 David Archer era to date; 19-53 Overall (.263 winning %). 15-36 Ivy League (.294 winning %) Next opponent, Bucknell, has scored 9 points in three games, so there’s a chance for a win. Meanwhile, men’s soccer, elsewhere known as football, beat Marist 5-1. They’re now 5-1-1. Wait. I might actually get to see a win in person? I'm not getting my hopes up.

Re: 2021-22 Men's Schedule - 9 months ago
Trotsky upprdeck why do people think thats true? you think Cornell fans are not showing up the first game or Wisc/Mich fans? The teams with fans that travel wont care. I don't understand why, but I would go to a playoff game if it were on Olympus Mons. We'd have home ice advantage there. It is the "Red Planet." Although it would be CO2 ice.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Weder The NCAA has added an off day between the first- and second-round tournament games, so the regionals will take place over 3 days starting this season. And it has nothing to do with more money being spent on an extra night of hotels, dining, rental cars, etc.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: Women's Worlds - 9 months ago
Trotsky Jeff Hopkins '82From what I can see the vax numbers are going up by about 0.1-0.15% each day. It's gonna take a while.Remember, there are two factors. Increasing the numerator, that's slow. But, decreasing the denominator without decreasing the numerator... (taps forehead) Hmmmm. That might actually apply in a place like Florida or Texas. In PA, the denominator is pretty steady.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Women's Worlds - 9 months ago
billhoward >66% seems like okay-not-great numbers if ineligible kids are excluded from the count. Under-12 (the age group currently ineligible for vaccination) is about 17%-18% of the U.S. population. Actually it includes 10 & 11 year olds. When the vax was opened to 12 and up, PA chose to measure it in groups of 5 years, so they rounded it to 10 and up. From what I can see the vax nby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Roy 82 Jeff Hopkins '82 .....The covid vax rate here in the Lehigh Valley is pretty good (>66% of adults fully vaxxed)..... Sigh Please clarify, Roy. Is that response because 66% isn't really that good, or because where you live in Cali isn't that high? FWIW, now over 67%. And that's actually % of people 10 years and over.
