I think the coaching staff thought that he got speared.  They were looking up to the eye in the sky but were told to play on

Courns IS on the ice taking warmups though, so good sign.

Off even earlier than usual doing even less. Had a talk with the health trainer too. But encouraging that he's on the ice.

I think he was talking to the trainer because one of the young fans had asked her about getting his attention and when he came off he brought a puck for the gentleman

Quote from: sah67 on January 09, 2026, 09:06:01 PMThat was a pretty boneheaded challenge in a 5-1 game with your timeout already used up.

From the middle of M (further away than the Alaska bench) I told my daughter immediately it looked like it went in off the skate, but wasn't kicked.

They then showed the replay on the scoreboard (something Schafer had said in the past that he didn't want them to do, for this reason) and it was very clear the puck was not kicked.

I am confident that if the Alaska head coach had actually seen the replay on the scoreboard he would not have challenged, and we would have had one less Alaska penalty to work with.

Casey needs to get the powers that be to stop showing replays of Cornell goals.

I was wondering if the Alaska budget doesn't allow for a travel video coach?  I would have thought someone in the press box watching replays would have called that one off for a challenge. 

I can't believe I am saying this but I think they are doing a nice job making these games themed games.  You can't blare 80s music, right, so that was very pleasant in and around the band.  Plus tonight being youth hockey night should give the place more purpose than an otherwise empty building.  This is exactly when to put this kind of thing to good use.  Once the students are back it's unnecessary.

When I wasn't sure if Cournoyer was going to stay in I was thinking it was a good spot to get Roest into a game.

That was a weird game.  By the end it felt like an exhibition game against a Canadian University.  From what I was reading about Alaska I was glad that they weren't the first opponent coming out of the long layoff.  They were pretty even for most of the first two periods but it really looked like Alaska ran out of gas.  Man the freshman on this team are a collection of studs!  So many of them have stepped up to carry the team for a game or a weekend.  It's impressive to see these young guys go to the net to find loose pucks.  DiGiulian did it to start the season and tonight both Long and Pirtle got their goals from right around the crease.  No shying away from the tough areas.  I appreciated that Ryan almost looked embarrassed that his second goal went in.  He didn't celebrate at all.  I'm not going to look it up in case it isn't as high as I think but what percentage of their goals are from freshman and how does it compare to other seasons?  It feels like it would be hard to find a lot of other instances where the freshman are as productive as this group.

Quote from: chimpfood on January 09, 2026, 10:18:17 PMhopefully DiGiulian can break out of his slump soon because he had a puck that was sitting in the crease waiting to be put home that he whiffed on twice.

He had a goal and an assist last Friday

He was gesturing to his hand with the athletic trainer... dear god I hope he's okay.

He was also looking at his ankle after returning to the net.  It was an awkward play where he went down funny.  Since it was a blowout I wasn't fully focused on what was going on at that point but I thought a puck went through the crease and he fell backward.  I initially thought he banged his back on the post or got hit in the back with the puck the way he was hunched over but then when I saw him checking out his ankle maybe it buckled under him?  No matter what it was they can't afford to lose him.

There is some band!

Berard scored both of Abbotsford's goals last night in a 3-2 loss

Quote from: fastforward on December 26, 2025, 04:34:21 PMUPDATE: the Hartford Wolf Pack has recalled forwards Sullivan Mack and Zakary Karpa from loan to ECHL Bloomington.

That's a good way around the strike. 

The ECHL players are on the verge of going on strike.  The are quite a few former Cornell guys this would affect

Quote from: sah67 on December 21, 2025, 10:53:46 PMBarron's hot streak continued as he scored the tying goal to bring Winnipeg back from a 3-0 deficit, but Utah ended up winning the game in OT.

So many of his goals look the same.  Speed and then finish.  Not much greasy about how he gets his.

I saw someone in the Cortland Walmart today wearing a Dartmouth sweatshirt.  I didn't realize their bandwagon made a stop this far south.

Barron scored a short handed goal.  Three goals in his last five games.  He beat Makar at the far blue line and finished a pretty nice backhander at top speed.
