Bancroft and Shane are teammates on ECHL Reading. 

Malott had the primary assist on each of the Ducks' first two goals.  It was his first multi point game as an NHLer.  The first was a partial breakaway that got stopped but the rebound was put in.  The second he made a nice defensive play and then took off, drew the defender and put the puck on a tee.  Nice speed on both plays.  Maybe he's not just a grinder in this league

Malott - Sultans of Swing, Dire Straits (A+ choice)
Mitchell - Don't We, Morgan Wallen

That's a nice touch.  What are the odds makers saying about the frequency of hearing those tunes this season?

Castagna scored the first goal of the game and added an empty netter in his pro debut for AHL Calgary

Malott scores in his first game as a Duck

He played for Belleville tonight

I said I was rusty but I saw what I saw on the game notes on NHL.com.  They even convinced me that he was a goner

I'm definitely rusty.  I missed that Castagna scored last night.  On the NHL site hilites there's a Cornell mention.

He scored! And, as per a friend, was named second star.

Holy shit just watched it forehand backhand top shelf dipsy doo NASTY work.

We typically only saw the forehand snipe when he would activate like that.  That was very nice.

Is there any word if Castagna might play tonight in the Flames preseason opener?  I saw Kempf was cut from the Avalanche training camp and I also saw that Justin Ertle played in the Stars game Friday😜

Quote from: Trotsky on June 12, 2026, 11:42:01 PMI'm fine with the 5 years -- it's defensible. I want the Ivies to drop their performative nonsense and adopt everybody else's rules.  The brand will survive.

I'm curious how many of our athletes can afford a fifth season anyway?  In past conversations a couple impacted by COVID said they would have loved to finish at Cornell but couldn't afford to so they transferred.

They weren't allowed to stay.

Didn't Andreev get a special waiver to stay?  I believe the guys I spoke to didn't pursue a waiver because of the cost of another year at Cornell

There was a lot going on. A guy like Galajda wanted to stay, but the Ivies dragged their feet on whether to allow players who missed the whole season, an additional year of eligibility. Before the Ivies could make up their mind, Galajda left. Andreev was given that extra year eventually somehow -- trying to jog the memory banks. I think it was only if 2020-21 would've been their senior year. But then someone like Jack Malone, who also missed a full year (his sophomore year), was not allowed an extra year of eligibility, so wound up playing his "5th year" (really 4th) at Boston College.

Those are two of the guys we have stayed in touch with!

Quote from: VIEWfromK on August 12, 2026, 01:33:04 PMSo is the Holy Cross game instead of an additional scrimmage/exhibition game?  They usually have two of these types of games heading into a season. 

We have an exhibition v Waterloo and a scrimmage within the team the week after. Ivies got an extra game this year.

I believe two years ago they played Princeton in a scrimmage instead of Red/White.  They typically play two scrimmage/exhibition games against an opponent before the season instead of one.  I started looking back at the recent schedules and that's been the case for at least back to the pandemic.  They didn't list the Princeton scrimmage on the schedule from Syer's first season but I know it was part of the ticket package.  Right?  I just wondered why this year was different and if it was because of the extra regular season game?
