Quote from: chimpfoodWest coast game against UCSB today, for anyone up for a late night

It's a showdown of my two almae matres!  (Or should that be almarum matrum since it's genitive?)

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about UCSB's graduate schools. Beat the tortilla tossers.

Quote from: stereaxPress release here.

Recently retired Cornell men's hockey head coach Mike Schafer '86 will captain Team Big Red while Matt Hedge '07, vice president and senior wealth advisor for Tompkins Financial Advisors, will captain Team Racker.

Casey Jones '90, the current Jay R. Bloom '77 Head Coach of Cornell Men's Hockey, will participate in the exhibition game, along with former Cornell players Pete Shier '78, Jeremy Downs '05, Matt Hedge '07, Cornell hockey fan favorite Topher Scott '08, and Tim Rego '25 are slated to suit up in the contest. Current assistant coach Chris Brown, equipment manager Sean Schmidt, and rising junior forward Jake Kraft and rising sophomore forward Charlie Major are also scheduled to participate.

I was '07. What in the world is a Matt Hedge?

He played club for 3 years and was a local kid. Marv McLeod and he were called up to varsity for 2006-2007 because of the short roster. I think O'Byrne, Pokulok, and a few others went pro. Matt never played but you probably ran into him at Dunbar's.

It may have taken 48 years but we finally got the Pineapple Suite.

Quote from: tretiakWhat a game. What a team. They went wire to wire as the dominant team this year - what a strange feeling.

I loved Buzcek's emotions at the end. What a coach. WD > MD. Cornell are the fucking champions. LGR!

Yesssssss!!!

Casual fan question: I think I can guess MD, but the only WD I know is 40.  What's that about?

The WD > WS is the lax team's motto. Well done is better than well said (WD > WS).

What a game. What a team. They went wire to wire as the dominant team this year - what a strange feeling.

Quote from: djk26Is it just me, or did ESPN go for a Tambroni reaction shot every time Cornell scored?

He does have a great "I shouldn't have broken up with Taylor Swift" 1000 yard stare

I shared the anger of the jilted for a long time. I believed he left Cornell for a pay raise, big-time athletic facilities, and a culture of sports at Penn State. But I know he also left for family reasons, and it's hard to fault that. He's always carried himself well at Penn state, and he's spoken highly of his time at Cornell. Then learning today that he keeps a picture of 21 on his desk -- well, ok then.

We all would take the PSU job in his position. Cornell wouldn't schedule PSU if there wasn't mutual respect. I want Cornell to win the title before he does. If that makes me jilted, I'm ok feeling jilted.

I feel like we're a year or two away from having the CHN joke article "what if college hockey had a trade deadline?" become reality. Eventually a new structure will form but this is an absolute mess.

Quote from: margolismShane signs with Norfolk (ECHL)

ATO. Possible he gets signed to an AHL/ECHL two-way deal next year?

There are so few spots and so many goalies, I don't think he gets more than an ECHL deal. He's small and had an unimpressive senior year. His pro future is probably Europe.

Quote from: KenPSo the scouting report sounds similar to MSU.  Very potent offense, good defense not as stellar of a goalie compared to Augustine.  Very hard to beat when they are playing well.  And because they've played against Schafer teams, and playing in a highly competitive Hockey East league... they may not be fazed as much by Cornell's grittiness.  

Does that sound right?  Any thoughts on their physicality?  Face offs?  Penalty minutes?

Yegorov is a 2nd rd pick of NJ and only 19. He was on an awful USHL team in the fall and joined BU this semester. He took over the starting role and has been great. He's not as highly rated as a prospect as Augustine yet, but I expect him to be in the discussion of best ncaa goalies the next 2 years.

BU has a potent offense, good goaltending, and optional defense. They're the little girl with the curl. Play tough, don't give them soft goals like tOSU/Shane's giveaway, and capitalize on their mistakes.

While the game is live, ESPN+ jumps to the current time. The replay is usually available less than 30 min after it ends if you can avoid spoilers.

Grad school: University sanctioned hazing!

Quote from: Well, the real beach is on the other side of campus, and when I was there was very popular with grad students for having a free parking lot closer to the Physics building than our designated parking, as long as a cop didn't see you park and walk to campus rather than the beach. (A friend of mine once got a ticket for being parked at the beach with Physics books in the back seat of his car.) The cliffs on Del Playa were similar to the gorges in that people notoriously fell off them, although in UCSB's case it was typically drunken partiers from the Halloween grope-fest doing an accidental header rather than post-exam suicides.

Cops monitor Goleta beach hourly now - I'm a grad student a few months away from getting out of this Elysian gulag for good. 3 undergrads already cliff-dove off DP this year. Looks like we're in for a shitstorm circa Cornell 2010.
 
What's the difference between Cornell and UCSB? When a Cornell student dies, people assume the Cornell student did it on purpose. People assume UCSB was an accident.

Quote from: Goleta!

Interesting that you picked the west-coast campus that rivals Cornell in its macabre obsession with its natural terrain (Cornell's gorges vs. UCSB's bluffs). Do the people who post pics of UCSB actually go to the beach in IV?
