Cornell 2021-22 season prediction

All it tells us is "yes, there are people there."

Boy you'll feel dumb when Schafer reveals an all-robot team.

"...and starting in goal for the Big Red, seventeen ferrets in a trench coat!" (wild applause)

If they can stretch out the trench coat to 4 x 6 we've got a chance.

It could be 8 teams all compete and its a pretty close league.

That's my (just as valid as anyone else's) guess.  I voted 4-6 in the poll.  It wouldn't surprise me if we finished 7 or 8.  If we finish in the top 3 Schafer gets to be a god alongside Ned.

I didn't vote as I can't even begin to guess until seeing the roster. The goalie position scares the hell out of me right now.

Yeah, we haven't had this much goaltending uncertainty since—well, I can't even remember. MacDonald's never played, and Howe and Shane have had up-and-down careers in juniors. My rather wild guess is that Howe probably has the most upside, but I imagine it will be pretty wide open.

Howe had a fine 20-21 after a shaky 19-20.  Shane has been all over the place but never put up impressive numbers outside of Prep.

I assume that even if we suffer through a down year in goaltending we should be able to recruit the blue chippah who stayed away while Galajda was still here.

That's creepy on so many levels.

It was actually quite charming IRL.

Howe also provides a chant upside, in the grand tradition of goalie/sieve, Underhill/overrated, Duffus/doofus, Elliott/idiot... I'm envisioning maybe "Howe/why?"

Then again, "MacDonald/Taco Bell" might also have potential.

Say no, say NO!

I have not checked any ecac rosters yet. But I'm thinking that the teams with the most returning players will be significantly better teams thank the others

I agree that last season's sociopaths should still enjoy some advantage.  They've played together.  They've played at a higher level.

There are other teams where the quality improves because they were heavy on now-departed seniors. It's as if the Jets or Giants, take your pick, lost all of last year's QBs, might they not be in a better place this year?
