jtwcornell91sah67Jordan 04At least he didn't wind up on Dateline. At least (for the woman's sake) Nickerson didn't show up. Typical. The guy was at the clinic. It's a serious condition.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: No more "Bonus" points - 16 years ago
Nice to see them giving the Olympic sheets the finger. If they really wanted to encourage the big programs to go on the road, they would: (1) factor a weight for venue directly into strength of schedule for ALL games -- say, 1.1x for a road win (or home loss) and .9x (or whatever the reciprocal is -- .8x?) for a road loss (or home win) (2) impose a simple rule for "neutral site"by Trotsky - Hockey

Section A Banshee... is it wrong that the only thing I took from that is "aww, what a cute little stuffed spirochete"? You're not the only one, but it would be more appropriate in green and gold.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: New Recruit for 2008 - 16 years ago
RichHI'm sure his skills will be quite raw, as it took those other guys a couple years to really grow and excel to the level of the Burgoyne class of defensemen. To be fair, that's a pretty high bar to get over. I agree with your two types, although I'd argue, even if Age is listening, that Murray combined both strengths, which is why he was one of only two Cornell All-American (twice!) defeby Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Luke Galvin out, Paul Stewart in - 16 years ago
Well, one of two things is going to happen. Either Stewart is going to bring professionalism to the ECAC that it hasn't seen since... well... ever. Or he's going to quickly get sick of the half-assed mentality of the conference administration and quit.by Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Romano will not be back next year - 16 years ago
RichHwe're a worse team without that weapon. We're a worse team without that weapon, if successfully deployed. Whether the obstacle was attitude or lack of communication, Romano was not making strides towards becoming a complete player while here. He counts as a Cornell hockey alumnus, therefore, I wish him well, and perhaps a different enivornment will speed his development.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Riley Nash - 16 years ago
he could conceivably end up as the defensively conscious player on a well-rounded second line at some point in his career If he has decided that's his best strategy for a successful NHL career (cue Kent Manderville testimonial), he's come to the right program.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Romano will not be back next year - 16 years ago
Perhaps Riley will be that breakthrough scorer. In addition to his skills, he is also reputedly a strong, tough physical player with a nasty edge -- an ideal Schafer player. Anyway, there will be that much more ice time for other players willing to step up. We'll survive.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Could It Be? - 16 years ago
We would also like to congratulate midfielder Damian Rocke, who is the recipient of this year's Frank Capasso Award of Merit - Senior Male Athlete of the Year. The Award is presented to an outstanding active senior male athlete, with involvement of at least ten years, who has exhibited excellent technical soccer skills, served as a team leader and demonstrated the principles of fair play andby Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Game On! - 16 years ago
Al DeFlorioCornellFanFinally, Cornell is in this game to win it. Not just to visit Durham. Why not us? Because we don't have the structured, disciplined half-court offense that allowed a Princeton to pull off its upsets and near-upsets against more athletic and talented teams aren't very good.

Re: NCAA Bans Live Blogging - 16 years ago
jtwcornell91But otherwise, I'm kind of flabbergasted that information about what has happened in the game is considered proprietary information. It's a stance I would expect a lawyer to take when setting up the most extreme possible defense of his client's property rights. However, it's also a stance I would expect every other sentient being on the planet to immediately laugh out of court. Inby Trotsky - Other Sports
Re: Romano will not be back next year - 16 years ago
ugarteRomano has every right to look after his own interest here.Who said he didn't? While we're stacking speculations, for all we know, Romano warned Schafer that he was exploring juniors, and Mike said come on in, we'll deal with it as it comes up, but for now it's great to have you.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Romano will not be back next year - 16 years ago
I'd rather have Romano than Milo. I'd rather have both, at that. Oddly, it appears not to be up to me. I hate that.by Trotsky - Hockey

sah67Nice little article with a thumbnail photo right on the front page: Also some choice quotes in there, like: "Cornell harvests big, mobile blueliners like corn and tries to make its defensive zone as fun to enter as a field of barbed wire."
