Quote from: Cornell troll on October 12, 2026, 11:26:07 PMTravis Mitchell sent down to Gulls. Sad but expected

It didn't get mentioned previously, but here's Travis's first NHL fight from a few days ago against Adam Lowry (brother of our Joel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JktXUDaX3TY

Not bad for an ivy leaguer.

So they were taking summer intensives for the past few years to prepare to graduate early as a result of going pro?

That would be a great move for the Arizona program.

I'm sure it was mentioned before, but reading that Stanley and Castagna both graduated in 3 years, is impressive and also a reason they both went pro a season early. (perhaps they finished some classes online or during the summer, but impressive none the less)

Quote from: stereax on October 08, 2026, 11:08:01 AMI feel like most of this boils down to "similar things happen at just about every other college campus and broader society as well". We kinda just got chosen as the current "face" of the issue.

And now the expectation is that they are the new face- and leadership- of reform.

Quote from: BearLover on October 03, 2026, 12:01:54 AMMSU has 17 draft picks including 9 first rounders. Don't know how we're supposed to compete with that. The best players commit/transfer to the top conferences to play against better talent, which creates a vicious cycle of the top conferences perpetually improving and the weaker conferences perpetually getting worse. The CHL opening up to college exacerbated this. We unfortunately need to root for other ECAC teams to improve so that the conference profile improves somewhat.

Let teams in other conferences take a lot of the blue chip prospects. We don't have to compete with MSU. We just have to win one game against them in the NCAAs if we run into them.

"MSU" is a stand-in for "blue blood who is recruiting ridiculous talent such that the gap between ours and theirs grows larger every year." MSU could just as easily be Denver, BC, BU, Michigan, etc.

Here are the teams who ended our season in the NCAAs the past six trips:
Denver
BU
Denver
BU
Providence
BU

We do have to beat these teams if we ever want to win a national championship.

We can cope all we want, but it's very clear at this point that blue-chip recruits are far more likely to win you a national title than B-level recruits. If B-level recruits were better, then MSU would recruit them instead.

Remarking on the growing talent disparity is not "shitting on my team," it's just being realistic about the state of college hockey. I've said many times that I am bullish on our chances this year if our goaltending works out. No need for everyone to freak out and start pretending we have a better team than the 18-draft-pick juggernauts lurking in the Big 10.

Completely nonsensical take. Our guys have been playing against their guys, in other leagues, and in our own, for years. They all made the cut, and are in the D1 dance.  They even scored goals, won games, and made highlight reels along the way. Our guys aren't scared, intimidated, or otherwise unprepared to face off against MSU, BU, Denver or any other team- and that's what you don't understand about sports, hockey or life.
Let's Go Red.

Shitting on the program before we even hit the ice for game one. SMH. We don't even play Michigan State this season.

How do we compete? We show up on the ice for 30 (hopefully more) games. That's the whole thing. Maybe you'd be happier rooting for another team?

We have an inter-team scrimmage so I'd assume one or both play in that, just based off, you know, counting.

Haha, well, yes. I was thinking maybe against Waterloo. But, Katz & Roest vs Rousseau would be fun.

Quote from: BearLover on October 01, 2026, 10:19:28 AMSezenack's data suggested he was a below average goalie last year after accounting for the team he was on. He had a slightly negative goals saved ahove expected. (I don't know where this data comes from or how accurate it is; are people actually mapping every shot, including type of shot, that every college goalie faces, and it's all publicly available?)

It comes from people at the arena -> Genius software and pipeline -> College Hockey News

Which means, no, it's not extremely accurate, but collectively, ok enough to give a good picture.

Hard to for the non hockey people to understand, but, you can be a good goalie, or skater, and it sometimes doesn't 100% show on a stat sheet. I'm pretty confident in Rousseau, I hope he gels in the locker room, and that the Roest and Katz get a shot, too. I'm sure one will see a game, or at least a period of pre-season. I love having a dominant starter, but a capable platoon is better- for both the internal competition, and the plan B.

Corrie D'Alessio, Bryan Hayward and Jim Crozier?

Not guilty because of lack of "incontovertible proof" or "an airtight case" or whatever legal backflips you need to do to justify the University or DA's position, doesn't meant that it didn't happen, wasn't scarring, horrible and despicable and unfortunately quite common. 8% of reported rape ends in conviction, and estimated only 40% are ever reported to the police. Don't be gross.

Quote from: Trotsky on October 01, 2026, 07:08:15 AMIt is bracing to see stories on this running at the top of the sites for DW, France24, and Al Jazeera.

This is now the only thing 98% of high school students know about Cornell.

This and the bear.

I'm watching law school reddits be like "we should stop applying to Cornell!" like they don't know the law school is mostly independent of the undergraduate schools, or that there isn't frat life in law school... Interesting times we live in.

The administration that was responsible for handling Cornell's response to these events is not merely in charge of the undergraduate schools, nor only of Greek Life. And sexual assault happens everywhere. While I hate the knee-jerk reaction so many people are having without waiting for all the facts, I absolutely don't think it's unreasonable for those having such a reaction to look at Cornell's Ithaca campus as a whole as "implicated" in the response.

"Why does every woman know another woman that was raped. But no man knows a rapist?" Waiting for all the facts?

Nearly every woman I know who was at Cornell, or any other school (or lives on planet Earth) is posting their rape and sexual assault stories, online. It is basically my whole feed. City of Ithaca has dropped all campus events, IPD was never notified by Campus Police about the incident, this is Me Too x 100. Bad look for Cornell. Lucky for ASU one University is actually worse at optics than they are this month.
