Re: NCAA QF - Denver - 27 days ago
On the DU goal the puck skittered past a couple of our guys near the blue line and their guy got off a great wrister. I still liked our game.by scoop85 - Hockey

Re: NCAA QF - Denver - 27 days ago
I was concerned there might be a review for goalie interference with Penney behind the DU goalie when the shot went in, but the replay showed there was no contact. But I remained concerned until they dropped the puck.by scoop85 - Hockey

Re: Men's lax Cornell at Penn 3/30/2024 - 27 days ago
Iceberg I think Cornell wins against Penn in 7 out of 10 tries but that was as bad a loss as any I agree with your assessment. In recent years Penn has been uncanny in winning 1 goal games, and when we couldn’t put them away when we had them on the ropes we opened the door for them to do what they do. Very frustrating loss.by scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 28 days ago
CU2007 RichH Jeff Hopkins '82 MSU pulls the goalie and ties it up. 4-4 with 30 secs left. Going to OT. Tough break for WMU, the played a smart possession game pinned in the MSU end so the goalie couldn’t leave until just over a minute remained. One big transition play and Sparty was able to tie it. And somehow left a guy WIDE open in front of the net on a fairly innocuous zone entry That’by scoop85 - Hockey
Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 28 days ago
Jack Devine looks like Denver's most dangerous guy. And the Buium brothers are almost certainly future NHL defensemen.by scoop85 - Hockey
Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 28 days ago
dbilmes Kudos to eLynah listserv member and Sun sports editor Jane McNally for the special NCAA tournament preview section they published earlier this week. The section included a nice feature on Seeger, who talks about why he came to the States and about being an Engineering student, and another article about the play of Cornell's defensemen. Many of us have been critical of the Sun's lacklusteby scoop85 - Hockey

Trotsky Dafatone Best game we've played in years.I think since the Denver win last year. I think we were better tonight than in last year’s game, although both were excellent.by scoop85 - Hockey

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 29 days ago
ugarte 1-1 after 2. Both goals from mucking around the crease on rebounds. This is the type of game UMASS was hoping for. I'd give them the edge in the 3rd.by scoop85 - Hockey

BearLover Swampy abmarks Jeff Hopkins '82 upprdeck We didn't need to win the conf title to get in with PWR if we don't blow any one of about 6 other games, ^^This^^ nope. it's the other way around. let's get cause and effect in proper order. Which is to say that bearlover's good takes arrive highly correlated with full eclipses. I actually agree with him. -cause: We punted 6 games.by scoop85 - Hockey
Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 4 weeks ago
arugula Actually not convinced that they are selling. If you look at the venue site, all the available tickets are in two sections. The suggests that they're holding back. A refund for Saturday isn't helpful. I can't go Saturday but I want them to be playing. IIRC Albany 2010 was a foursome of Cornell, RIT, and UNH--all local ish and national power Denver. Empty.

Jeff Hopkins '82 scoop85 Jeff Hopkins '82 To give you an idea of how second class this tournament feels, there are no programs at the rink and not even a QR code to scan for one (like there was last year). They just didn't bother creating one. Also, there's a single tiny stand selling souvenirs. None of it has the name of the schools on it - all the souvenirs simply have the tournament logo.by scoop85 - Hockey

ugarte Mr. Niss I of course don't know if he's actually qualified, but I hope they just give it to Jon Jaques, for consistency in how they've played, for recruiting consistency, and because as an alum perhaps he'd stay longer if he has success than someone who would leave us for a program like William & Mary.i think they promote jaques That seems like the most likely scenario. He’s now in hby scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 4 weeks ago
chimpfood That hurts. Confusing move to me, they must be paying a lot more or something Yeah, that’s not the type of job I would have thought he’d leave for. Given the Ivy’s improvement over the past decade, I don’t see a CAA school as a big step up. And is W&M really going to be a player in the NIL space? I don’t get this.by scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: ECAC Semifinal - Dartmouth - 4 weeks ago
That dumb Dartmouth penalty in the closing seconds of the 2nd period changed everything. Until then we were largely lifeless. Our power play didn’t start out too promising, but Seger (who had a terrific game as usual) made a nice zone entry pass, got the puck over to Bancroft who just labeled one over the Black’s glove. We then had several near misses until Seger again made a gorgeous backhand paby scoop85 - Hockey
