Great.  Now I can't get that song out of my head

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. 

Hey, it would be entertaining at least.

But on a realer note, we don't know the locker room dynamics. Could be he'd make a great A, Tkachuk-style.

It would be legal for him to argue with the ref on the way to the box.  That's a win.

As if players don't already do that.

Where's my curious Fegaras drawing...

True, but they can't add another 2 or a misconduct on top of it.

Quote from: stereax on May 22, 2026, 02:05:54 PMIn other things that will make @Trotsky mad, they sent out an email earlier asking what theme night you'd want to see.

Like we actually do anything for theme nights besides a free piece of plastic to the first couple hundred people in the doors, but I digress.

How about "Let the fucking band play" night?

Quote from: stereax on May 20, 2026, 04:47:30 PMVersus a school like Quinnipiac... which is... less academically renowned.

But I'll bet they have a poll that says it is.

Quote from: Trotsky on May 19, 2026, 02:37:46 AMI know I started this thread and all, but, having now read through it and followed the links and stories, I realized I just don't give a shit about what goes on off-ice.

The team I love are those who are wearing the sweater as I watch a particular game.  Whoever comes out the tunnel is yay.

The rest is codswallop.

Well put.

Quote from: stereax on May 18, 2026, 06:51:02 AMIn only somewhat related news, I've got FloHockey 24 on while I'm writing my fuckass final papers. It's not going well. Anyway, they're playing the same 3 or 4 games over and over again - a Maine Mariners one, the SPHL final with the Peoria Rivermen, the Charlotte Checkers' 8-spot versus Springfield, then there's a program where they talk about the '26 NHL draft and do a terrible mock of it... And there's also a fight compilation.

Guess whose name I alerted to, then rolled back to take a good look at my TV screen where he was busy jumping on someone twice his size in a scrum.

There's only one answer here.

Is he good at hockey?

Quote from: underskill on May 17, 2026, 01:59:33 PMAlso don't knock Predators fans. Nashville is a great hockey market.

And at least they didn't steal their team from somewhere else, Like Carolina.

Quote from: Trotsky on May 16, 2026, 05:32:03 AM17 games.  Prime, of course.  Bah.

First 8: 44-60 .425
Game 9: 5-14 .263 vs Q
Last 8: 32-45 .416

Total: 81-119 .405

Their numbers are off by 10 on each side, or I mathed bad.

In any case, no, he didn't get any better*.  The treasure was the friends he made along the way.

* _{Although he never repeated his 4-game midseason 15-47 .242 skein.}

This is reminding me of the Devils beat reporters going "Look, Markstrom isn't that bad! If you just remove LITERALLY THE WORST GAME A GOALIE HAS EVER HAD SINCE WE STARTED ADVANCED STAT TRACKING versus the Isles, he's only SLIGHTLY below average! "

Like buddy that's not how it works 😭

Also, singling out Q is funny because he went 4 and 16 in the Colgate game for a whopping .200. Granted, that's the one where Walsh was suspended and Castagna also got booted, so he probably took a LOT more draws than expected.

Also, a .405 is Jack Hughes in the dot numbers. Unless you are fucking Jack Hughes, that's not gonna cut it! And as much as we all love Charlie, he ain't that good, otherwise he'd be at a blueblood school. (Sidenote - is Cornell a blueblood? Not like BC, BU, Michigan, NoDak, Wisconsin, Denver, right? Purpleblood?)

What COULD be interesting is if you put DiGiulian through the Cornell Faceoff Bootcamp, then put him on Major's wing and have him take the draws, but Major plays in the center position. Kinda like Haula did for Jack when he was a Devil. But also, I kinda think Major's skillset outside of draws is better suited to being a winger, and, with a veritable glut of forwards on the team, there's no lack of centers who are actually good at being centers. I also don't really like him on the third line - he's got talent that gets squandered when you put him in that kind of role. I think next year you at least start him in the top six. Kraft-Walsh-Ryan, Long-Zadvernyuk-Major? You could flip Ryan and Major around depending on vibes.

(Also, your numbers are off 'cause he took a few draws in the fall, but I didn't put those in the screenshot because going 1-0 in the dot means fuck all and he was being used as a winger then.)

("Stere, do you make EVERYTHING about the New Jersey Devils?" Have you met me? The answer is yes, of course I do! It's either the Devils, or the VGK, or the Cornell hockey teams. You're used to this by now!)

Vgk!?!?  Now you lost me.  Pure evil. 

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS SINCE THE MISFITS CUP RUN. I HAVE A RIGHT!

I went to a match the night before our tournament a few years ago.  It was the most horrible hockey experience I ever had.  The noisy ignorant minor-league hockey experience on steroids.  All the disgusting aspects of Las Vegas crammed into 2.5 hours.

There was also a hockey game, not that most of the fans even paid attention.

Redblood.

Duh!

I like that he chose not to prosecute them in order to avoid giving them a platform.  Smart.

As we said back in the late '70s:  Smoke the Jays!

Wow, didn't see this coming. Milliman and Chase Ierlan homecoming.
Now gotta put today's game in the rear view mirror and get our mojo back.

The smoke-filled room strikes again.

Per Google it means that they played multiple positions and the recruiting team decides which position they will play.
