Malinski vs. Barron tonight, and Sam gets his first NHL point with a secondary assist on a nice play that set up a Nathan MacKinnon breakaway goal.
The Colorado goaltender was not pleased with Malinski inadvertently screening him on the goal that made it 3-1 Winnipeg, and gave Sam a glare and a nasty little "get out of my way, rookie" love-tap after the fact:

Ew.
I listened to the third period of Flames-Avalanche. The Avs radio guy Conor McGahey said, "defended well by Malinski. He's played like a veteran in only six NHL games." Then something....something "former Cornell star." Way to go Sam!

A really terse sendoff. I hope that they're off to bigger and better things.
Here's a really fascinating article about them in The Athletic (https://theathletic.com/2464804/2021/03/25/meet-abbott-twin-brothers-climbing-hockey/#), March 2021. It has very nice things to say about Mike Schafer and Cornell.
On the subject of alumni in Europe: Joel Lowry and Jake Weidner are teammates in the German second-tier league, playing for the Kassel Huskies. Weidner is their 3rd leading scorer (and Lowry 5th) in the current season.
I started a Malinski thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoradoAvalanche/comments/18gm8p7/what_do_folks_think_about_malinski_so_far/) on Avs reddit and it is super positive so far.
With Cale Makar temporarily out, Malinski is getting time on the PP2 tonight.

Pretty goal.
Red on Red violence. MacDonald just got a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for boarding Malinski.
An interesting video about a young Matt Stienburg (https://youtu.be/S8-RCHxtI7w?feature=shared). His health issues predated his time at Cornell. At 15, he had osteomyelitis and underwent two shoulder surgeries. A tough kid.
Quote from: LGR14Red on Red violence. MacDonald just got a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for boarding Malinski.
Malinski did return to the game after getting some repairs. The hit itself didn't actually look too terrible: it was compounded by Malinski tripping and falling into the boards at the same time that MacDonald was finishing his check.

Ben Berard scored his first professional goal Wednesday for Texas Stars. He was Third Star after the unassisted goal proved to be the game winner.
Anthony Angello also had an unassisted goal the same night in a separate AHL game for Milwaukee.
Jeff Kubiak assisted on a Cole Bardreau goal that ended up the game winner earlier this evening.
Max Andreev had the game winning goal tonight for Kansas City in the ECHL. In 27 pro games this season he has nine goals and 24 assists for 33 points!

Malinski just scored to put Colorado up 3-2 over the Bruins in the second period. The Avs broadcasters were raving about how "Makar-like" his play was (walking the blue line and shaking the Boston defender before wiring home a wrister.)
As a Bruins fan, not great timing for me, but Malinski scored his 2nd career goal on a nice shot through traffic from the point to put Colorado up 3-2 near the end of the 2nd.
If anyone scores against my bruins... I'm glad its Malinski :D
I was actually thinking that shortly before he scored.

Max Andreev saw his first career AHL action last night suiting up for Coachella Valley. He registered one shot on goal. This after putting up 40 points in 33 games in the ECHL. Good luck Max!
Malinski got sent back down to the AHL to make room for Zach Parise, who just signed with the Avs as a free agent.
During the Harvard pregame they had a short segment on Morgan Barron's contributions to the Jets this year.
Quote from: sah67Malinski got sent back down to the AHL to make room for Zach Parise, who just signed with the Avs as a free agent.
It wasn't to make room for Parise. He was sent down because Jack Johnson and Bo Byram returned and because the Avs are entering the All Star break. Jared Bednar plans to use Malinski in a rotation the rest of the season. He has firmly established himself as the #7.

Got a Lynah bounce and backed the defender into no man's land.
Malinski got the callup on Sunday and my prayers yesterday were answered. He wasn't in the Av's projected lineup for last night's Devils game at the Rock, but he dressed! I was flying in to Newark and believed Bednar, who has had high praise for Sam, would get him in there, especially in the second game of a back-to-back. Gotta believe! Sam logged 12 minutes on 15 shifts. He went hard all night. His skating was silky smooth. Too bad he wasn't able to bury a feed in the slot midway through the third. Caught his eye with my CU hoodie on while standing at the glass behind the net during quick skate-around before second period. Great night! Anyone else there?

Per CBS Sports: Sam Malinski was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday. Malinski was scratched for Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers. It was his third scratch in four games since the All-Star break, so it's no surprise he's going down to the Eagles to get some playing time. Malinski has emerged as the top call-up option when the Avalanche need reinforcements.
Final game of the Canada - USA Women's Rivalry Series today. Brianne Jenner had two assists and Micah Zandee-Hart had one assist in Canada's 6-1 win. Jamie Bourbonnais was a healthy scratch.
Canada wins the series 4-3.

Isn't this always how it works with defensemen cycling down low? Robertson may do it more than the others, but I think every defenseman will occasionally take the puck down low while a forward covered for him at the point.

I think the point is that he's being given more free rein lately. I think Kaldis had more liberty than Kempf does too, without this being a criticism of Kempf.
I think Rego does it more traditionally, rotating up on a particular set play, while Robertson is continually at the ready to join the play as a fourth forward, like Ray Bourque, Denis Potvin, and Larry Robinson played.

I've seen Kempf jump in on the play pretty often too, although he definitely lacks the offensive abilities of Robertson (or Rego - who I still feel is getting more powerplay time than he should).

As did Lodboa, Orr, Pattison, Giuliani...all converted forwards...back in the day.
I also think this is interrupted by teams that forecheck us hard, explaining why apparently lower skill aggressive squads like Dartmouth and Yale give us fits.
NC$$ contenders all forecheck aggressively, so we need to figure it out and keep our poise under that pressure.

I'm a Penguins fan. Obvious skill difference between NHL and NCAA aside, Cornell's power play is way better than the Pens'. Last night, Pens managed a PP with one shot attempt, zero shots on goal, and gave up a breakaway goal to the other team's best player when he exited the box.
with the players on the Pens pp, how is that even possible?
Quote from: arugulawith the players on the Pens pp, how is that even possible?
The Pens retired Jagr's number recently and had him on the broadcast. He said the players weren't selfish enough and kept looking to pass rather than shoot.
Cornell's PP is too passive and too content to shuffle the puck around the umbrella, but I don't fault them for not shooting enough. Firing a shot into a defender's shins from the point is bad. We need to have more motion away from the puck and work the puck down low to generate chances, and for the love of god do something other than force the puck from the point to down low to the bumper, because everyone knows that low puck is going to the bumper.
The Pens' PP keeps generating good looks by doing the above and then just... not shooting. It's Ben Simmons disease or something. Like they're only allowed to shoot off the pass and only when the pass is a ten out of ten crosscrease sure thing.
I should also mention that the power play with 1 shot attempt and 0 shots on goal leading to a breakaway was against the Islanders, who have the worst pk% in the nhl.

While I agree that firing a shot into the defender's shins from the point is bad, I disagree that Cornell is shooting enough. In my view, they really aren't. Last weekend the PP was better, but prior to that Cornell would go entire PPs without attempting a shot. I'm pretty sure Cornell could create a shooting lane from the point if they tried, rather than being fully committed to passing. Cornell has tried to work the puck down low, but nothing has been available. If they had simply fired the puck on net instead of unsuccessfully trying to work the puck down low/ultimately to the bumper, they could have easily created a tip or rebound which would cause chaos around the net, leading to the PK team scrambling and getting out of position. It's much easier to score on the PP when the PK is out of position, and Cornell doesn't do nearly enough to make that happen. Shooting is one of the best way of doing so.

I don't disagree, but to me, the biggest issue is a lack of movement both with and away from the puck. Everyone seems to stand still and then they move the puck around. I wouldn't have a problem throwing more pucks on net when they have the chance.
They are dovetailing problems. Too much PP time is spent listlessly passing around the perimeter because nobody is cutting through the heart of the defense to force adjustments which brings unwanted attention to the fact that 90 seconds have passed, the puck hasn't left the zone, and still nobody has taken a shot just to change things up. Hell, shooting into someone's shins may get a guy on the ground and deflect the puck someplace interesting that leads to a shot. Yelling "SHOOOOT" isn't a solution but it's not NOT a solution.
There were a bunch of really nice passes last week that were very creative, the pass didnt quite get completed or we missed or we tanked the shot.
How much hockey are people watching to compare to what other teams do? some really good PP dont do anything but pass either.

every game we watch has another team's power play! anyway, i do agree that the last couple of weeks have been an improvement over the early season.
Quote from: ugartebecause nobody is cutting through the heart of the defense to force adjustments
We don't even have to go that far. What I see is puck movement, even fast movement, between players who when they receive the pass are and remain stationary. If they just moved a little on their skates, now the D has to keep track of passing lanes that continually change, rather than just finding the nearest point intersecting a fixed line.
When you see good pp units, and when we have had them, they can walk (skate) and chew gum (stickhandle) at the same time, and it makes the D reactive and behind a tempo. That's when you can tic-tac-toe to the man lower down who is suddenly free because the
passer moved.
I do not think guys like Robertson, Castagna, and Bancroft lack the skill.

Not likely, as they also acquired defenseman Walker from the Flyers
Interestingly also an undrafted free agent. Malinski is better.

Brianne Jenner '15 is on the roster for Canada in the upcoming IIHF Women's World Championship in Utica (only a 2 hour drive from Ithaca):

I would assume just kicked off the team but it's all rumors really. Only reason that I believe them is because it explains joe Howe leaving after his freshman year and not joining another team, ertel leaving after his freshman year despite playing almost every day, and ben tupker leaving a better team where he played everyday with his brother to go to union.

This post doesn't make any sense without explaining what the rumor is ...
Ben Tupker graduated from Cornell & is playing as a graduate student at Union.
And hes their captain. I doubt they would've made him their captain if his character was in doubt
I heard that some guys were kicked off for doing coke at a party, tupker transferred after his junior year, hence Zach being here alone for a season.
Ben Tupker graduated with honors from ILR

Hey Chimbrain, enough with your uninformed nonsense. Ever hear of defamation of character?

Probably 10-20% of Cornell students, and 75+% of members of certain frats/sororities, "do coke at a party" at some point. Also, a number of players leave the hockey team/graduate early every year, for a variety of reasons. Unless chimp has information that is a bit less, ahem, circumstantial than what he has offered up, I will consider this pure speculation. Tupker in particular likely had nothing to do with it, even if it were true—and the fact chimp is citing Tupker's situation as related calls into question the whole thing, IMO. BTW, Schafer praised Tupker as a great kid after he was at Union.
Again, not saying it's true, it just explains things that I didn't have an explanation for otherwise. And I would say there is a difference between just doing coke at a party and getting caught doing coke at a party when you are the most recognizable students on campus, it would be a terrible look for the team. Obviously I hope that this is not the reason that these guys left but does anyone know if howes departure was ever explained? Not saying that with lack of another explanation that he did coke or anything, just curious.
I figured Howe wanted to play and realized Shane had usurped him.
Quote from: DafatoneI figured Howe wanted to play and realized Shane had usurped him.
yeah, just strikes me as a strange move to leave a team because you want to play and then never join another team.
I don't think chimpfood's post is totally without merit, although I won't comment on whether the drug story is true or not. I meant to post about this at some point and the mention of Howe jogged my memory.
Within the past year, I met a recent alumnus who was on one of the other athletic teams on campus and was somewhat close with enough of the guys on the hockey team in the 2021-22 season. Now as some of you probably know, athletes have plenty of mixers and other social events together during the academic year so I'd say this person was credible and he/she had no reason to lie or make up stories.
We were talking about the performance of the hockey team this season and the topic of Shane came up. I commented how it's amazing that Shane, who had been the third string goaltender his first year, rose to become the starter due to injuries and the poor performance of the two guys ahead of him. When I mentioned Howe in particular, this person quickly responded that it wasn't just injuries but also something he did off the ice that violated school policy or local laws (he/she didn't elaborate) that resulted in his being kicked off the team along with at least one other player at the time.
Regardless of the circumstances, I'm glad we've had Shane in net for the better part of the past three seasons

For what it's worth: following the 2021-22 season, four players left the team prior to using their four years of eligibility: Howe, Ertel, and Dan Mcyntire (all freshmen), and B. Tupker (graduated early).
Pretty much every rumor I have heard about Cornell hockey players for the last 40 years has been uncorroborated if not exposed later as deliberately malicious.

Wow those are some bold, completely unsubstantiated projections. I was in the Greek system and never knew of or saw anyone "doing coke" at a party. I don't even think it was a thing when I was in school. Way to perpetuate the rumors that all Greeks like to do is party though.

When I was a Greek, coke was something you mixed with rum to get your date drunk.
Seriously though, while there are certainly bad actors in the Greek system, helping manage a small enterprise in college, helped me later in my career. You get out, what you put in.

Not sure when you attended Cornell, but I know for a fact there are multiple fraternities and sororities where doing coke is commonplace. There is nothing unique about Cornell in this respect. You put a bunch of rich kids who like to party in one place, that's what you're gonna get.

Kristin O'Neill with 2 goals and an assist (so far) in Canada's game against Chechia in the Women's Worlds today. The announcers also mentioned that she went to Cornell "in nearby Ithaca."
Jacob MacDonald has been seeing some good ice time with the Sharks. He scored last night in a losing effort.
The Sharks have also been giving a fair amount of ice time to some new guy named Colin Graf. Name rings a bell. :) He was on the second line and had an assist.
Henry Thrun has been a regular on the Sharks blue line all season. So there is no accounting for taste. The Sharks GM, Mike Grier, is a former BU player.

https://collegehockeyinc.com/in-the-nhl.php
Comparing hockey to other sports doesn't make much sense. For example, almost 100% of NFL players are Americans who had no options besides playing NCAA football. Hockey is a worldwide sport where college the primary means of reaching the NHL only for a subset of players (mostly those hailing from the U.S.).
Maybe your question is specifically about those who earned their degree, not just attended college. I'm not sure what the point would be of measuring that either, though. The NFL allows players to leave college after three years, the NBA one, etc. Comparing these sports to hockey is yet another apples-to-oranges comparison.
There'd be a big story on this if Caitlin Clark got drafted.
One in four NHLers have been to college. Per AI:
Quote from: Google AI answer to \\"nhl percentage college playrs\\"Roughly 25% of NHL players have played college hockey, but the majority come from Major Juniors. In 2021–2022, 48 NCAA Division I schools had an alum playing in the NHL, which is a 65% increase from 2002–2003, when 21.1% of NHL players were NCAA alumni.
The NHL generally draws players from Major Juniors, with almost 50% playing in US or Canadian Major Junior, and the rest coming from European leagues.
The odds of making it to the NHL are around 5% or less, and players who aren't generational talents like Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid may end up in junior or minor leagues for their entire careers.
FWIW.

Wow, it is good to know that I have a 1 in 20 chance (or less?) of making it to the NHL. It might be worth a shot at those odds. I realize that I am no Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid and so I might end up in the minor leagues.
Quote from: chimpfoodApparently he is injured. Not sure how I missed that.
Yes, "lower body injury" in the last regular season game. Probably out about a week.
Assuming that's so he'll get back in. He was a constant in Winnipeg. Alumnus adjacent Adam Lowry is killing it for the Jets.
Maybe the near-binary choice made by this near-sentient researcher described it as superstars or nobodies who drift back to the juniors. There is a reasonable number of college drafted college players who may have ~5-year NHL careers punctuated by one or two trips back to the minors. You make money that the majority of your college classmates 1-5 years out do not.

Nice mention of Brian Hayward by Patrick Roy, talking about goalie tandems as he made a switch to Sorokin.
Amidst a decision to change goalies during their first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes, New York Islanders head coach Patrick Roy was reminded of an old analogy made by his former goaltending coach with the Montreal Canadiens, Francois Allaire, while texting with his dad on Thursday morning ahead of Game 3.
Allaire would call Roy's backup, Brian Hayward, a Cadillac. A smooth, dependable car that helped create one of the best goalie tandems alongside Roy from 1986-1990, featuring three William Jennings Trophies, which is awarded annually to the netminding duo that allows the fewest goals in the NHL.

1. Cornell has three alumni who saw significant playing time this season. Barron is the only true NHL mainstay (though on the fourth line). Barron's Jets made the playoffs, but he was injured in one of the final regular season games and missed the entirety of their first round exit. MacDonald's Sharks were the worst team in the NHL and didn't qualify for the playoffs (also, MacDonald was placed on waivers and ended up back in the AHL after he wasn't claimed). Malinski had a promising rookie year for the Aves, but split time between the NHL and AHL and was back in the AHL come playoff time. (Maybe he was on their playoff taxi squad?)
2. I'm not aware of any. Not sure who they would be, but maybe it's possible.
3. Somebody already answered, but notably this playoff format of four sets of 1-4 seeds has only existed for a short time. (Unless it existed at some earlier point in NHL history?)

Steele still appears on our roster. Given he got no game action at Cornell, he's probably not yet ready to play at the men's international level, even for a weaker team like Great Britain.

Jack Malone at MSG playing for the Utica Devils against NYR. The varsity NJD is in Czechia.
Stienberg had an active game for Colorado. A couple of hits, a nice back check and a block after he had lost his stick in a battle behind the net.
