Happy that the schedule stays  local-ish.  That California trip a few years ago just seemed wrong.  Call me old fashioned, but missing class for a week ain't a good idea.  I know I know they can take class remotely.

Cornell, université de l'État de New York.   Cornell, the State University of New York.

«[Les Badgers] ont gagné six championnats nationaux, a plaidé Cournoyer. C'est le programme en tant que tel et le fait d'avoir une meilleure chance de gagner un championnat national. »

"[The Badgers] have won six national championships," Cournoyer said. It's the program itself and having a better chance of winning a national championship. »

Here's hoping for an NCAA game between Les Badgers and the State University of New York (at Ithaca)

Quote from: Trotsky on June 27, 2026, 12:42:03 PMStupid numbers is why you never retire numbers.

Goalies should always be 1, 30 or 31.

Defensemen should be single digits.  Forwards should be teens.  Either may be 20s.  The End.

This is correct. Goalie could also be 29 or 35 but that's it.

Forwards can edge down into the high singles.  Only Beliveau can go as low as four. Le Gros Bill.

Quote from: stereax on May 26, 2026, 01:43:26 PMNow who are the As gonna be... I want to say Catalano gets one? And maybe they hit one of our transfer sophomore Dmen (Fisher or Ashton) with one? Rest of the senior class is Kraft, Devlin, Fegaras. Could also see Kraft getting one a la FFJOL.
I'd be cool with that!
Whoever they choose will be a great Assistant!
You can't go wrong!


Not Fegaras.

Quote from: arugula on May 20, 2026, 04:37:05 PMNot shaping up as strong OOC
I mean so far we have SHU, who are paying us back for our visit in 24-25, and Omaha, who we're paying back for our games last year. Again, I still think Omaha is a sneaky team that would be really good in a weaker conference, they just have the misfortune of playing in the NCHC. :')

I think we'll get one or two good OOC series to make up for it, though.

Hopefully a strong Frozen Apple opponent

Nothing on MSG's website yet. Occasionally they have it before anyone else, though probably not intentionally on Cornell's part.

Usually July?

Quote from: 617BigRed on May 21, 2026, 10:03:54 AMWas there rumours of us going up to Alaska?
I haven't heard anything, but we owe them a visit. Whether that's this year or not, TBD. I don't see a great spot in the schedule for it - I'd have suggested the Jan 1/2 weekend, but that's likely Omaha.

Alaska also came to Ithaca in 21-22 so who knows whether we reciprocate them considering that they spend an insane amount of time travelling anyway.

Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82 on May 15, 2026, 07:40:00 PMI like that he chose not to prosecute them in order to avoid giving them a platform.  Smart.

Renee Good was executed for bumping someone with her car.  Amazing that Kotlikoff is blamed for nothing.

Quote from: stereax on May 17, 2026, 10:46:34 PMYeah I ain't even replying to that load of crap. Not when I have 20 pages to write for tomorrow at 5 pm and 80% of the argument is "wahhh, bad because competent front office" lmao.

Anyways, Gio DiGiulian's invited to Rangers dev camp. Maybe that'll brighten your day?

My day doesn't need brightening.  Sports without a team to hate is no fun. But happy to see digiulian get a shot, though even if he was a legit prospect, Drury would screw it up. Sorry to distract from your work. Figured it was over by now. Focus and remember it doesn't have to be 20.  Quality over quantity. 


VGK, definitely a classy organization, says no one ever, except perhaps Carter Hart.  Here's to Sam Mailinski scoring about ten goals over the next week

I thought that they stole their name from Clarkson. :)

You're right Ralph.  Army is the BLACK knights.
