Quote from: Iceberg on November 15, 2025, 04:45:50 PMQU is up 3-0 on BU and it doesn't even look like the two teams are in the same stratosphere with the way that game is going

Two minutes into the second period, the live box has Q outshooting BU 27-8. What has happened to BU this year?

And can it please continue for two more weeks?

I'm looking at Dartmouth's remaining schedule, and I'm not seeing a lot of teams they "should" lose to. Certainly, they'll drop a few, but I think the only real challenges they have left are us, Q, and maybe (probably not) their two remaining Hockey East games. And I don't see them dropping all five of those. They'll probably win as many of those as they drop games to lesser opponents that they should beat. And they will be stoked to return to Lynah this year.

CHN's Power Ratings has Cornell at 1 for SOS. Colgate is 6. Yale is 3 (from four games, including D and Q). But losing to D didn't help SLU (58) as they have too many other games against lesser opponents diluting the effect.

Having played two UMass games has helped us. Q and BU will help too. But that's about it.

We will share in some of Dartmouth's riches, and we'll need it. Once we beat them in Lynah, I will feel much better about them continuing to have a great season.

Because if we beat them in Lynah, we can beat them in Lake Placid.

Wow does it. Thin ice?

A game with 13 Ferguson points and 10 Murray points is a different league entirely.

Oh, but to have Death on our team again. Hockey players have the best names.

Quote from: chimpfood on November 08, 2025, 09:16:20 PMAm I missing something or has Major not been on the ice?

Haven't seen or heard about him in a while

Major skated to the locker room during a tv timeout.  Didn't appear to be injured and the trainer did not accompany him.  I want to say it was early in the 2nd.  Did not see him for the rest of the game.

Maybe he ate at a Pizza Hut nearby?

My money's on Taco Bell.

Pizza Hut is a reference to a team meal gone bad in the north country before you were born.

Oh... if there's more to the story than "they had Pizza Hut and got sick" I'm all ears.

They had Pizza Hut and essentially half the team was incapacitated for the next game. It was ugly.

So... no, not much more.

What more there was was left in the bathrooms of Canton.  From what I understand, it was a very, very bad night for everyone, even if you weren't sick, as one can imagine.  But it goes down in roadtrip history like the Colgate trip where we forgot our uniforms and the Montreal Micron Tournament where the first night we lost 10 players either to DQs or Lou Reycroft going ballistic and healthy scratching his captains (IINM, one of them Mike Schafer).  The second night things, um, got out of hand.

Good God. That's a goal every 3 minutes on average. And I don't think I've ever seen two hat tricks in one game. Was the only reason there was a 9 minute and 51 second dry spell in the third period because they all got bored with scoring? Or did the red lights burn out?

Quote from: chimpfood on November 07, 2025, 09:26:16 PMThat's big time. Loving these 2-1 and 3-1 games, that's who we are. Doesn't get easier tomorrow but a great start to the weekend.

Dartmouth kicked the snot outta Colgate.  Our biggest game of the weekend is tomorrow.

Dartmouth is #1 in NPI at the moment.

Quote from: imafrshmn on November 07, 2025, 09:30:58 PMHuge dub for Casey and the boys going to Lynah East. Cournoyer looked a little frantic at times but he looks like our number one.

I thought he looked cool as the other side of the pillow all night. 

He makes me a little nervous going down on his knees more than I'd like, but his size probably still covers the net more than it looks on camera. And he gets the job done, so I'm not complaining.

Quote from: Trotsky on November 07, 2025, 08:18:41 PMWe are just outskating them.  We are so much faster than Harvard.  What a weird thing to see.

Our size is helping.

Quote from: Trotsky on November 07, 2025, 08:09:30 PMGood game so far.  I love how we are pushing it up out of our D zone so quickly.  That's been a real wet blanket for years.

And that's with Harvard buzzing like annoying gnats.

These announcers are way better than I remember any other Harvard announcers being.

And I'm not just saying that because they did their homework on the Cornell pep band.

Quote from: sah67 on November 07, 2025, 08:04:40 PMCastagna ties it up on a tap-in after a nifty give and go with Stanley! 1-1.

It was quick, sharp passing that made that goal happen. Our improved passing is going to serve us well this year.

Quote from: Dafatone on November 07, 2025, 12:58:02 PMIn light of today's news, I'm obviously still gonna root for us, but if we get blown out, I blame Cornell admin.

It's hard to admit that Harvard's taken the higher ground over Cornell, but I'm rooting for the Crimson in this arena.

But - but - they "need these high grades".

Quote from: scoop85 on October 31, 2025, 08:33:08 PMLet me understand this: Drew Pinsky is pitching a medical kit where people are supposed to self-diagnose for things like strep and pneumonia and then decide which medication to take? Sounds like a good plan.

On second thought, let's let this play out.

If Covid taught me anything, is that natural selection doesn't work fast enough for my liking.

Nice hustle at the end of the period.
