Money: Cornellians lost to (and gained from) the portal

[billhoward]

She had Casey on the record. I was hopeful this would reveal more than we already knew, but it didn't. Not expecting her to grill Cournoyer, obviously. I think Jane is a promising journalist and the Sun's hockey coverage has been great, to be clear. But people wanted to know why he transferred and it's still extremely murky.

Give it a break, man. As players gain more on-the-ice / on-the-field skills, they also build more skills at deflecting questions or replying in words that sound good and say little. You're entitled to a desire to know, you're not entitled to a court-of-law inquiry. With everybody today able to be a reporter/analyst by connecting a keyboard to the internet, players realize there are lots of ways to get burned as well as praised. And how it's better to not burn bridges.
P.S. It's one thing to piss off a player with one's comments. It's another to piss off the parents or the girlfriend.

As read it, money can flow to the players but Cornell does not control the flow or decide who gets how much. What Cornell wrote was a bit opaque and would benefit from an English-to-clear-English translation that is probably beyond Claude AI today.

Sounds to me like people are just pissed because our starting goalie left

maybe!

[fastforward]

I have greatly enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts and opinions on this matter, but for me, I'm over talking about someone who is no longer with us
I would much rather talk about our incoming goalie and the great team that we currently have in place!
Forward motion, or "fast forward"  as some may say  😂

Rousseau highlights from the Q and WJC, anyone?

Thanks for this!!
He appears to have cat-like reflexes!!
And it's nice to see some good emotion as well!
I think we will be just fine!

After watching these highlights, maybe we will be glad Cournoyer left.

[chimpfood]

He's like the more talented version of Ian Shane that will wash up in the AHL instead of the ECHL, we'll be just fine

[Trotsky]

Hot damn, he is quick.

But please tell me those noises were AI slop.

Maybe we even come out on top with this "trade". We'll have to wait and see.

It's one of the things I'm looking forward to:

1. New goalie and team members in action
2. 26-27 captains
3. First home-stand games

I'm already workshopping goal calls for eLynah for the new guys.

"One small shot for Coco, one giant goal for Lynah"?

How about a new cheer: Coco...Caca...Coco...Caca...?

[Trotsky]

We need some solid Rousseau cheers.

"Man is born free, but everywhere you just suck."

Bring out the Geneva flags.

Interesting that that Facebook page also relates Wisconsin losing a basketball player to Duke
