Re: 2007-2008 Schedule - 17 years ago
KeithKDpperk29Of course, the real solution is to have no other EzCAC team than Cornell and not other HEA team than Maine. But that's more easily said than done.I had thought that Clarkson was going to replace Ohio State as the third permanent member of the Estero Security Council. OK by me, espeically now that Clarkson is a power once again.by Trotsky - Hockey

DILLIGAFsince the defections post is moving here, this is posted in both.The only bad thing he did was play baseball! To dismiss a solid 2 way player like this for playing a sport in his off season is moronic by schafer. But maybe in Schafer's eyes playing baseball is a lot worse than rape.Just curious: how do you know any of this? Are you an insider in the hockey program?by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Concrete canoe competition - 17 years ago
RobbDavid HardingDoes building a concrete canoe qualify under Other Sports? No. (and this is coming from a guy who used to canoe race competitively) You don't see EEs competing to build devices with vacuum tubes or computer scientists competing with 1s and 0s. Find something useful to do with the technology - a la the HEV, smart house, or solar vehicle competitions! Everybody shh...by Trotsky - Other Sports
Re: Cornell sports full-time bubble - 17 years ago
Jacob '06Good luck convincing anyone to knock down AD white house. Thats a big part of the history of Cornell right there. I'm assuming (hoping) he was kidding, but let's not give the Tru$tees any ideas. A 44-year old man would look pretty stupid chained to a building to prevent a demolition.by Trotsky - Other Sports

Re: CHA Banquet - 17 years ago
Roy 82This would be a good time for the annual "What is the Cornell Hockey Association?" question. Seriously. They appear to be a booster club that sponsors many team related events but they operate clandestinely (or is it covertly?) for the most part with no detectable web presence. I wonder who they are and what their mission is. Is this an organization that I might join as a long-by Trotsky - Hockey

When somebody says they got info on the d/l, it means they d/k.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: ...Milo... - 17 years ago
Not that it has ever stopped any of us, but it's futile to speculate about the reasons in the absence of even an official announcement that he's gone. For all we know, the coaching staff is letting him blow off steam and will quietly let him back on the squad later in the summer. As he is a talented player, I'm hoping this is the case.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Two more recruits. - 17 years ago
KenPOn a side note, why are good hockey prospects labeled "blue chippers"? Is there or was there a process in some league where players received color-coded rankings (similar to ski slopes)? Or perhaps is it a reference to a hard-working blue-collar man and his "chip off the 'ole block"? Just curious, as the term is thrown around by many (myself included) without knowing itby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Two more recruits. - 17 years ago
SwampyWhat concerns me more is how little recruiting penetration we have in some areas. You'd expect the New England teams to have the inside track in New England, and the midwestern teams in Minnesota. But we are not a top-ten team when it comes to competing for players from the USHL or the USNDP, both of which draw nationally. We also didn't make a dent in Alberta or Saskatchewan.

Josh '99except for the fact that he hits his AOL bandwidth quota by noon Eastern just about every day. I'm sure he would accept a donation to help finance expanded capacity.by Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Two more recruits. - 17 years ago
bothmanThat is correct. Heisenberg's order of players within each league such as Mass / New England or the BCHL, is his opinion of their relative rankings. That is why you geenrally see the big schools - BC, Wisconsin, UND, etc - getting the players at the top of each list.Learn something new every day, thanks. You could then theoretically create an overall player ranking with his positionby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Two more recruits. - 17 years ago
bothmanThey are ranked incredibly low by Heisenberg whose rankings are generally accurate, with some exceptions Of course, Chris also included the following statement in his blog: Riley Nash seems to be down to two programs, North Dakota and Denver, with his preference for an 07 or 08 arrival also up in the air Heisenberg is an invaluable source as a scorecard for what recruits have goneby Trotsky - Hockey
Re: Two more recruits. - 17 years ago
Before (or, anyway, while) we all jump down bothman's throat, he's obviously entitled to his opinion, which has been expressed respectfully, and he's a longtime contributor and clearly not a troll.by Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Riley Nash commits to Cornell - 17 years ago
ftyuvWhy can't you extend that simple courtesy to "I could care less?"Because that isn't how people use it. 99% of the uses of "could care less" are mistakes -- no irony is intended. The off-season is traditionally devoted to being officious and pedantic about these kinds of things, so courtesy is right out. April is the cruelest month.by Trotsky - Hockey

Re: Riley Nash commits to Cornell - 17 years ago
KeithK"Labor relations" applies to both sides. Whether or not it's taught that way at a leftist institution like Cornell is a totally different issue .What are you talking about? There are dedicated classes to "workers' rights" *and* "strategies of exploitation." IIRC there have been several high level union negotiations where the top guy on each side was a Coby Trotsky - Hockey
