My goodness.  I fear to think what might have happened if Donato only had 12 or 13 draft picks on the roster....

Agree with Rich. The rivalry is fairly even with each team having short runs of success before the balance tips back. Although we lost three times this year (two of which were winnable), we won some hardware and they did not.  And no they are not going to win the NCAA trophy.

I also thought the Ivy Champs article was wrong until I realized the point scoring system. Who knows why the standings don't reflect the points earned?

Agree.  Harvard's team in 1989 was outstanding and they still needed some luck to win it.  Yale was incredibly lucky to win in 2013 (yes, they were good, but def not the best team in the nation or even the ECAC that year). We just haven't had the lucky breaks.

Heard Max has a concussion.

Agree w/ Trotsky. He is prob a year away from being starter material.

No season this year.

I remember him!
Looks like he is doing well.

I think I prefer Iles at this point.  This is the worst game I have seen in a very long time. It almost doesn't seem real.

This is Q's Spring Break.  Much to our advantage.

Although this may posted elsewhere (other than by me) tonight's game is televised live on NESN.

Although I am sure this is posted elsewhere (I didn't have the energy to search), Sat game is televised live on NESN.   Let's Go Red!

How on earth did Stanwick win it? Can't believe it.

I would bring to light a delightful point that made me feel better this morning after last night's bitter loss: Nobody on Harvard's current team has ever played in the NCAA tournament.  And nobody on next year's Harvard team will have either.  No matter what happened to our team, at least we aren't them.

Quote from: adamwI can't even believe this conversation exists.  Every other ECAC team would kill for Cornell's success, as would about 30 other NCAA teams.  It's not the '60s .... be happy with what you have.  And when you call Cornell "just a bunch of of big, slow guys" then it shows you really just aren't paying attention.

Schafer squeezes every ounce out of the program.  Saying his system doesn't work in the NCAAs is asinine.  6-2 in the first round.  Even in those games when Cornell was supposedly the favorite, because they were the higher seed, they were always doubted - their record was theoretically inflated because of the ECAC etc.... In most of those games, their KRACH rating was lower than their opponent, even if they were the higher seed.  They won those games because Schafer generally gets it done when it counts ... this year is a rarity. That's testament enough right there.

The program will regroup and reload - and be fine.  Anyone who complains about this really just has no idea how easily it could all go South without the right staff.

Well said Adam.  I am definitely with you.  As I said earlier, i have been following Cornell hockey for over 20 years and I remember when we celebrated because we advanced to the ECAC finals.  Winning the ECAC seemed like it was an impossible dream for years.  So I am thrilled with the success of the past decade.  Right now, I am just sad because the last two years we have been placed in a region where the #4 beat the #1 and have still missed out on the FF.  Maybe our team was looking past UNH this year and Bemidji last year. Who knows?  I think that, whether or not Riley leaves, we will a bit down next year before returning to form in 2 years.
