Basically every possession

Quote from: arugula on May 03, 2026, 02:38:27 PMMaybe Tully could make a save.

Are we even trying anymore? What is Buscek waiting for to use a TO?

Quote from: Chris H82 on May 03, 2026, 02:13:03 PMMaybe I missed this in an earlier post, but I'm not having any luck bringing up the streaming broadcast. I have an ESPN subscription (via Disney Plus), but does that not include ESPNU?  Anyone else having this issue, or figured out the workaround?

Same issue. They keep asking for a cable subscription key or something.



I think I got through via Hulu in the past, but I no longer have time to watch so I'll just read the threads as usual.

Unless you want to see a Princeton rout, you aren't missing much

I doodled the jersey over his chest, gave him a Greek flag, and also wrote over the text on the box lol

Weird. Couldn't see it on my phone.

Quote from: stereax on April 20, 2026, 11:27:26 AMJane's article was updated:

According to head coach Casey Jones '90, the move initially "blindsided" him and his staff, who had not anticipated losing their starting goaltender. Upon speaking with Cournoyer in the wake of his entering the portal, it was evident that the program and the goaltender had different understandings of what the future held.

"Coming to Cornell, we surely want people that understand the connections and the value of the education," Jones said. "We've just moved on. We wish him well, and we'll pivot."

Maybe he just didn't like it. Cornell can be a tough place to live/study. Maybe he didn't vibe with the team. Maybe, and I suspect, he couldn't cut it academically.
....

"There's no shortage of people that want to play here," Jones said. "No shortage of people that want this opportunity right now with the roster we have."

[...]

"We've got a lot of good players here. Our roster is loaded next year," Jones said. "We feel good about that, and we'll have the right guys in the room that want to be here, and then just move on from there. We just move on. That's the landscape."

Wow, just wow. Blindsiding your coaching staff and then explaining it publicly as chasing a "better opportunity" leaves behind a pretty nasty digital footprint.

What stands out isn't the transfer, it's how it's now documented. These quotes don't disappear, they're searchable, and exactly the kind of thing that shows up when future employers start doing even basic due diligence. Outside the hockey bubble, that phrasing will get read less as ambition and more as a preview of how someone handles commitments when a new option appears.

Well sorry, but I actually typed four "?"  and somehow that emoji auto inserted, so I don't even know what

? ? ? -> emoji

means. Please tell me.

When I chose it above it inserted 3 question marks - meaning I assume "what?"

More posters should consider using it - sorry stereax.

It's the wink emoji.

Policy makes no sense. You want to encourage academic excellence? Why wouldn't they want them to stay and play a 5th year AND get a graduate degree?

Quote from: BearLover on April 01, 2026, 03:04:41 PMYes, we are certainly in agreement that Castagna leaving, on the one hand, and Bancroft/Stanley leaving, on the other hand, are two very different things. If just Castagna signs, we aren't having this discussion. It's the Stanley departure that's truly surprising and causing me to look back and reflect on the fact that this type of departure is mostly unprecedented in Cornell history.

In what way, shape or form is that "unprecedented"? In this thread alone, numerous examples have been pointed out of similar Cornell players leaving after their junior year.

I'd argue it's "mostly unprecedented" in the sense that he is only the third Cornell player drafted in the fourth round or higher to leave early in the last 30+ years, and because he does not project as an NHL player. He's the lowest drafted early departure among defensemen in the last 30+ years as well (and probably much longer, but I didn't look back that far).  It's been extremely rare for us to not retain this type of player.

depends who is doing the projecting! you keep substituting your judgment for the people involved. ottawa was interested enough to buy him out of his senior year with $500K+ over the next three years (between bonuses and minor league salary) regardless of whether he ever makes the NHL. He's only 21 and regarded as a solid defensive defenseman who is likely to grow into his frame. He doesn't project as an NHL star but I think they see him as someone who will get to skate on the good ice.

Not only do I think that it is unlikely that Stanley would turn down that offer, I further assume that Jones-the-mentor (as opposed to Jones-the-guy-who-wants-to-win) would advise him to take it.

Yeah - Castagna got over $1 million a year for 3 years so chances are Calgary has him slotted into a middle 6 position at worst.  500k over 3 years is nice cheddar too and he can easily go back and finish his degree with $ in the bank.  So yeah he is just getting paid to walk away from a fourth year of Cornell hockey.

Damn? 1 million a year? I went into the wrong profession

Still needs to actually make the NHL. Otherwise he's making less than the average Cornell graduate.

Pretty good incentive, one would think. Plus, he's a college dropout

Quote from: Big Dingus on March 27, 2026, 08:14:25 PMBeing embarrassed on the national stage. Zero heart.

But this is the new reality. We have zero recruiting advantages

Ffs this is the most negative thread. Denver is better than us. It's ok. It happens. No one actually expected us to win this, and if you did, you weren't living in reality.

Some games are on plus and some on U. They are separate subscriptions.

Sorry I thought she posted the teams in the order of their seeding 🤷🏼�♀️

Quote from: BearLover on March 22, 2026, 03:43:25 PMIn addition to the altitude, Denver also gets home games. They have the entire crowd behind them. They get to sleep in their own beds and use their own recovery facilities after the games. Just like Providence did when they beat us in 2019. Not because they have the highest seed in the regional but because they bid the most money for it.

Makes a mockery of fairness.

At the end of the day, it probably gives them a 5% greater chance of winning.

Maybe minn state will take care of them and we won't have to worry about it. But I agree. This hosting nonsense needs to go.

Is Minnesota State gonna jump Denver on their way to the rink prior to Denver's first round game against Cornell...?
