Quote from: ugarte on February 22, 2026, 05:22:14 PMstill laughing that we didn't get hit with a too many men on the ice right before the double minor.

hughes goal was nice; werenski fighting through the defense to get him the puck was beautiful. hellebuyck getting the secondary assist was pretty cool too.

i do not love 3x3 OT to decide a 5x5 game but i have to admit i could be convinced to watch a full game of firewagon 3x3 every once in a while. Game to 11 or something because 60 minutes of it would be boring as hell. I don't feel great about what that says about me but it's true.

Yeah. It makes for a cool sport but it's a different sport.

Agreed. It shouldn't decide a gold medal game but 3v3 is fun from time to time (and for regular season stuff I don't hate it that much). Pretty sure there's that 3ICE summer league that does 3v3 for the full game.

Anyone notice that Canada didn't exactly hustle on the backcheck. The Yanks had oodles of time to finish that goal.  Not like it was important anything.

Couldn't see the whole of it on TV but didn't the announcer mention they were trying to change?

On the replay they just looked like they were neither here nor there.  Kinda floating.

Not sure I agree. Watching at home is usually better than being there for this sort of observation so I could be wrong but at the rink it felt like our energy was meh and we could establish little effective zone time. Lots of east west hero puck. Natural result is breakaways the other way.  way. 

I'm with you on this

Possible trap game syndrome also and Princeton is a decent to good team at home on senior night with Ben behind the bench so not the worst loss big picture. Dont buy the tired argument.  I'm old so I'm tired. They're young. 

So now we're basically at the stage of beat SLU and we're in the tournament even with a loss to Clarkson. Lose both and we're in trouble.

Quote from: Trotsky on February 21, 2026, 08:24:05 PMPrinceton has a rocket up their ass right now.  Gotta take the air outta the puck and then come from behind in the third.

I need these fucking announcers to choke on 3+ Red goals in the third.

They're so loud in the mix, too. Can barely hear the sounds on the ice.

In the rink, it's evident that part of the Princeton university charter was that you must play terrible music at the loudest possible volumes with a tinny speaker set and bad acoustics.  Hobey approve this?

As to the game, can someone please tell Charlie Major to be more direct. No more hero puck.

Quote from: ACM on February 19, 2026, 08:54:08 AMMarc, Robert and Andrew Wyttenbach all played junior-varsity hockey for Cornell from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, until the JV program was disbanded, having outlived its usefulness. I spent way too many Saturday and Sunday mornings at those games, as official scorer, PA announcer, or both. My records of those times are no longer in my possession, having contributed 40 boxes of material to the University Archives when I downsized about 5 1/2 years ago, but they are available for reference in the reading room in the basement of Olin Library.

Some JV facts: Schafer coached the JV team as part of his job as assistant coach right after he graduated. Tony Eisenhut, the analyst on the ESPN+ broadcasts, was a JV player.

Thanks. So what was the purpose of the JV team? Did players bounce around between JV and varsity? Did JV players get recruited just as varsity players did, or were they (mostly?) walk-ons? Seems unlikely that 3 different Wyttenbachs would all play JV but not a minute of varsity. Maybe they have sour grapes from never making it.

Largely it's that freshmen weren't eligible to play varsity for a long time, but obviously it wasn't only that.

I know the way basketball worked was that the JV was walk ons and they would practice every day at like 6 am, but then when games happened, the scrubs from the varsity would take most of the game time.  Obviously in hockey playing time works differently, but I suspect it would be the guys who were end of bench or healthy scratches getting some of the JV time and then a lot of walk ons to serve as practice bodies. 

Anyone know if we tried to recruit him or too much of a rockhead?

Today in the New York Post there was an article about Q's Ethan Wyttenbach, currently leading the nation in scoring. Standard local boy makes good profile except one thing. The article said that his uncle and father played for Cornell in the mid 90s. I could find no trace of them although Dad has it on his LinkedIn.  Anyone from that era have any memory of a Wyttenbach?  Perhaps the Jimmy Rayhill of the 90s.
Also any idea if we tried to recruit the lad?  Beniers was one that really pissed me off. Two parents from Cornell.

The issue for us is we have a weak league schedule and it turns out a weak ooc schedule.  As such, no good wins and literally any loss (except Q) turns out to be bad, even BU and perhaps Umass.  Leaves you no margin for error.

Quote from: Trotsky on February 14, 2026, 09:17:30 PMHey Cornell.  It's Valentine's Day, and you can't score.

Just said to the missus, 39 years ago tonight I was at Lynah East when they shut us out 3-0 and the Harvard fan or two yelled "Hey Cornell, it's Valentine's Day and you can't score. 

Every opposing goalie is Georges Vezina.

that was a softball

Am I crazy or is this a good quality broadcast?

Quote from: stereax on January 30, 2026, 09:33:37 PMWheeeee what a fun win!

4-0 night between hoops and hockey including WBB breaking a 16 game losing streak to Penn.

Okay look I'm still gonna be avoiding the eggs from here on out 😂😂😂

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?
