Homestand complete. Next 7 of 8 are on the road. Get 'er done.
The next 6 games are against teams we are clearly better than in the standings. 5 of them are on the road. 2 are the home-and-home against Colgate who circles us the way we circle Harvard.
How many of these 18 points we get will determine whether we have a safe ECAC bye going into the final two RS weekends or whether we are cusp, and perhaps consequently whether we are relatively safe, in liminal space, or in deep trouble for an NC$$ bid.
They aren't sexy but they are all important points.
My birthday is 2/13. All I want is as many of those 18 points as we are capable of.

The last time we went this deep into a season without a tie (http://www.tbrw.info/weekly_Updates/cornell_Color_All_Games.html) was 2003.

I don't know about pizza, but bring newspapers, because I won't be.
Nor at Brown, for the few that show up there.
Everybody please be careful this weekend. Both Yale and Brown sit atop hills that are a bitch in ice.

You'd be cutting it close given the time to find parking and then wait for a table, regardless of where you go. Even 30 or 60 minutes earlier would be better.

I've been told Pizza Hut is out. 😇
As per that one schlub who does the reviews, (https://www.onebitepizzarankings.com/) Sally's Apizza is the best pizza in New Haven.

Agree. And with the piles of snow all over Connecticut at the moment, parking will be tighter than usual on Wooster and at the rink.

Timing is everything. I'm leaning toward BAR as the well-known, over publicized three are too risky on a Friday later afternoon/evening. Pepe's, Sally's and Modern are TOTALLY worth the trip and wait. Id lean toward 4:30 or 5 to go there. I'm planning on 5ish at BAR. Brutal cold in New Haven, but not snowy like last years game.

Ok, enough about pizza.
Am I the only one who is seriously concerned about a let down after such an emotional past weekend? Coming off the big wins and facing two recent doormats in the league...can't help but worry a bit. NPI and standings will not allow a slip up this weekend. I think the young team will look Walsh, Major, Stanley, etc to lead by example. AC must be rock solid in net, both nights. Casey must get them up for these battles.

Not to say I'm not worried at all, but I tend to worry more about let downs for second games on back to back nights than between weekends. With a week of practice I like to think that gives the coaches enough time to reset the team's focus, call out anyone who seems a bit high on his own farts etc.

I am worried, as everyone usually is, that the team will gag a game they should win. I am not worried that it will be because 6 days ago they swept the H/D weekend.
For what it's worth, Yale has scored more goals than us in ECAC play this season (with both teams playing the same amount of games).
Quote from: dbilmes on January 30, 2026, 03:31:55 PMFor what it's worth, Yale has scored more goals than us in ECAC play this season (with both teams playing the same amount of games).
The difference is the two goal games. They've been better at squeaking out the second goal than we have.
The differences in our remaining schedules is we play Colgate, Yale, and Brown, while they play Cornell, Harvard, and Dartmouth.
I love looking at the equipment. (https://x.com/i/status/2017356307200647192)
Looks like a few of the guys are trying different sticks - Pirtle has two ghost sticks, Hiscock looks like he's testing the stick that DiGiulian and Long use, ditto Fisher trying out a new stick, Murray's knob is a crime against humanity, I see Schmidtty has learned that Castagna breaks sticks on the nightly...
I don't see Devlin's sticks though. Goes straight from Fegaras to Major. And Murray's sticks are out, maybe he's drawing in?

I would prefer it if the road reds had a torso pattern that was the inverse of the whites (so white body, low red band, white below that to the bottom) rather than a red body and a large white band to the bottom, which I think is made to look even weirder by the hip "cutouts" used for the hemline.

Nice props given to Kraft by the Yale ESPN announcers
Did two guys just try to sandwich Hiscock and both ended up on the ice? 😂
WHOEVER GOT THAT!!! IS IT DELIVERY???
NOPE, JUST DIGIULIAN!
Sweet!!
Double it up! Casty!
I'm convinced Yale's defense mostly consists of puck watching. This is also the same goalie that got lit up at Ingalls last year and is again giving up a lot of rebounds
Pak your bags, buddy.
Casey's first line change was brilliant
Shut up about the ice, shut up about the ice!!!

At the end of the game one of the officials was lecturing Casey and then after handshakes several players from each side were arguing with the officials and seemingly with each other. Any idea why?
Quote from: Swampy on January 28, 2026, 02:55:02 PMOK. I'm sure this has been asked before. Friday, 19:00, Cornell plays Yale in New Haven. If I arrive in New Haven around 17:00, what's the best place for a pizza?
File this for next year: The pizza you want is on Wooster Street in New Haven, not walking distance to the rink. If it's there it's good. We are partial to Pepe's. Others like Modern. There are others. If you arrive at 6 o'clock on a weekend, it's crowded everywhere. You wind up in line next to a pudgy guy and

ECAC after games of Friday January 30 2026
Team Pts GP Fri
1 Quinnipiac 31 13 W at SLU
2 Harvard 30 15 W over RPI
3 Dartmouth 30 14 W over Union
4 Cornell 29 13 W @ Yale
5 Princeton 25 13 W @ Clarkson
6 Colgate 20 13 SOW @ Brown
7 Yale 18 13
8 Clarkson 17 15
8 Union 17 14
10 Brown 11 13
11 RPI 10 13
12 StLawrence 8 15
So the top six teams won Friday though #6 Colgate needed a shootout win over 10th place Brlwn. #4 (going into Saturday's game) Cornell has a game in hand on #3 Harvard and two in hand on #2 Dartmouth, both one point ahead of Cornell. Quinnipiac could stumble but Cornell's safety-school-admission kind of goal is a #2 or #3 finsh and the bracket that wouldn't see Q until the ECAC title game.
Remaining games are #1 Quinnipiac, #5 Princeton, #6 Colgate 2X, #8T Union, #8T Clarkson, #11 RPI, #12 St Lawrence. The key game is Friday Feb. 20 at Quinnipiac.
I think I have the numbers right. We'll see. I don't know but suspect Cornell has the youngest ECAC team meaning the greatest chance to grow in the final four weeks of the season.

Wondering too. On the entry before the ENG there was interference in front of the Cornell bench. Didn't seem like a big deal. After the goal, Casey was chirping about something. The linesman skated over yelling "enough." He and Casey got into it a little then one of the refs came over and looked to be saying something like "complain to me and leave him alone."
After the handshakes there was a long chat with all four officials, Fegaras, Cournoyer, and the Yale captain. Wasn't clear what it was about.
That's all I could see.

Though the number on CHN vs the one on EP is different - EP's gives that 20.97 number, and lines up with Gemini on most - but not all - numbers.
As per EP - (https://www.eliteprospects.com/league/ncaa/teams-physical-stats)

I'll mention here that I know for a fact that EP has some birthdates wrong. Idk if any of the ECAC players' birthdates are involved, but I know a few non-ECAC college players whose birthdates are inaccurate.
Also important to note - age does not necessarily correlate with experience, even at the college hockey level. Here I'll drop one of my favorite fun facts, which is that Reegan Hiscock is almost a full year older than Jonathan Castagna. (July '04 vs April '05, as per EP.) It's the fact that we have such a huge freshman class, more than the years on them, that gives us a larger growth runway. (And that's discounting the upperclassmen who also have a runway - Kraft has finally found his touch again, for instance.)

*cracks knuckles to fact check billhoward*
Modern isn't on Wooster St.
And it's about a 30 minute walk to Ingalls from Wooster St by cutting through the Green. Depends on your tolerance for walking if it's "walking distance." I've done it.
And I don't know what he's talking about after the word "pudgy." (I once waited in line at Pepe's behind bill, but that was when I considered myself svelte.)
The parts of the game I was able to watch seemed pretty dominant. Don't look now but we'd be a 2 seed if the NCAA tourney started today.
It was great, as always, to have the pep band at the game, although they arrived much later than they usually do.
After the first few Cornell goals, the Yale PA system started playing loud music each time Cornell scored, in an attempt to drown out the chants of "Sieve" and "It's all your fault."
Sitting right behind the Cornell bench, it was interesting to note that most of the Cornell players on the bench stood the entire time, while most of the Yale players on their bench sat. From a practical standpoint, you would think players would want to take a load off their feet for a few minutes before jumping back on the ice. In the NHL, for example, players usually sit on the bench in between shifts.
I told my son that I thought the Cornell players were standing to show their connection to the Lynah Faithful, who also stand the entire game!
Kudos to Yale for their new scoreboard. It's one of the best I've seen in an ECAC rink. It appears they have a policy, though, of not showing any replays, not even the Yale goals. I continue to consider the Lynah video board useless, due both to its location and the quality of the video.

The differences may be based on when the cutoff date is, since it's not necessarily "today" for the purpose of determining your hockey age. But the relative number between teams should be the same.

For poops and giggles, I just added another column to this page:
https://www.collegehockeynews.com/almanac/funfacts-ageavg.php
It's the age for each player as of today, weighted by the amount of games played. And each column is sortable.

I could very well be wrong but I believe they stand most of the time every game!

Your behind the tunnel representative - it depends. Some players prefer to sit, the majority tend to stand though. But also, after a long shift players are more prone to sitting. A couple of guys (Hiscock and Castagna, notably) like to sit on the wall and turn their back to the play. Depends.
I think at the NHL level, you're mandated to sit down? Or at least you absolutely shouldn't be sitting on the wall, haha.

Quote from: JasonN95 on January 31, 2026, 11:43:17 AMQuestion for someone that was there: About what percentage of the crowd would you guess were Cornell fans?
Solidly half, possibly more. Though overall attendance was not great. Yale attendance is nothing like what it used to be. Yale bench side was maybe half full. The end zones were essentially empty.
The 7pm starts on Friday are also an issue. Building was *maybe* 20 percent full at 7. Filled in decently by 7:30 by the time folks managed traffic and parking.
Quote from: JasonN95 on January 31, 2026, 11:43:17 AMQuestion for someone that was there: About what percentage of the crowd would you guess were Cornell fans?
It seemed like there were more Cornell than Yale fans there. In any case, the Cornell fans definitely made more noise, especially since there was no Yale pep band present and the only Yale students in the rink appeared to be the ones on the ice.

I'd say the Cornell side was maybe 80% - 90% full; the Yale side was perhaps <50% full. As Sus says, end zones were barren.

Given that it was a Friday, many people just don't have the time to get to the game or don't bother, so less Cornell representation. Saturdays at Ingalls on the other hand are definitely full when Cornell is playing there. I don't know the exact distribution of fans, but after Harvard, Yale has to be close with Princeton as far as one of the most well-attended road games. The local students generally have poor attendance, regardless of the day. I'm surprised Yale didn't send a band, though

Men's basketball seems to takes precedence now at Yale.
It was nice to have a relatively easy win. The first period was their best period and they just cruised after that.
I don't know if it's a coincidence lately or a shift in philosophy from before but these guys are shooting the puck without trying to make unnecessary passes. Kraft had a passing option on his goal but took the shot. Castagna was in an awkward position on his first goal but he put it on net. Ryan was pretty far out on his goal but he didn't hesitate to let fly. I hope it's a conscious effort because they are definitely benefitting from it.
Does anyone think Keopple might play today?
Apparently, some time after the bus left New Haven Friday night, Jonathan Castagna reached back in time to deflect Caton Ryan's shot and was credited with a retroactive hat trick: https://cornellbigred.com/news/2026/1/30/mens-ice-hockey-yale-recap.aspx (https://cornellbigred.com/news/2026/1/30/mens-ice-hockey-yale-recap.aspx).

i don't remember the old boxscore - did the scoring change cost someone an assist?
Castagna is generating more shots and the puck is going in at a higher rate. Castagna shot 8.2% last season and is shooting 20% this season. I believe this number includes his two ENG, which it really shouldn't, but AFAIK it does. Still, a reversal of fortune for a guy who couldn't finish his chances last season. However, he's also getting way more shots on net. Last season Castagna only had 61 SOG through 32 games, whereas this year he leads the team with 65 through 21 games. Notably last year Bancroft had 102 shots and Walsh had 96.

Pretty sure this is the case, yeah.
Yes, and the disappeared assist was from XV.
The passing went XV to Ryan to Stanley to Ryan and then the tip in by Casty
I wish I'd known at the time. I always bring an extra Cornell baseball cap with me to throw on the ice if a Cornell player gets a hat trick and would have gladly done so.

Mail it to the official scorer.

I don't remember whose hat trick it was at Lynah perhaps six to eight years ago, but in the highlight that shows the goal you can see the result of my plucking the hat off of my future son-in-law's head and tossing it on the ice. I was quick. It was one of, if not THE first hat on the ice. He was pretty surprised. (He got it back.)
Edit: Must have been Angelo 2018 or Barron 2019. Will see if I can find it later.

You're missing the Bancroft Senior Night hat trick (https://cornellbigred.com/news/2025/2/22/mens-ice-hockey-slu-recap.aspx?path=mhockey) from last year.

He's still giggling from seeing not-quite-two-yet Isaac say "Go Red" in our tribute video on the scoreboard that night.

It was Barron. (Angelo's wasn't at Lynah.)

Quote from: Swampy on January 28, 2026, 02:55:02 PMOK. I'm sure this has been asked before. Friday, 19:00, Cornell plays Yale in New Haven. If I arrive in New Haven around 17:00, what's the best place for a pizza?
In what is among the more striking recent coincidences in my life, a good friend from HS who has retired in CT just out of the blue mentioned she had found the best pizza place in New Haven. This was entirely unbidden and she is in no way connected with Cornell hockey or anything like that. Just a fluke.
Zeneli's (https://www.restaurantji.com/ct/new-haven/zeneli-pizzeria-e-cucina-napoletana-/) at 138 Wooster St. Anybody have an opinion?

Zeneli's has its fans. One of my brothers, for example, considers it the best New Haven pizzeria. But the consensus among most New Havenites is that you have the Holy Trinity of Modern, Sally's and Pepe's, with Bar a notch below, and Zeneli's another notch below.

My friend mentioned Pepe and said it was her prior favorite before Zeneli. I guess they are close on the same street.
Are we talking Modern, the chain?
Cuz they suck.
Edit: Sorry, that's MOD that sucks. As you were.
