Schafers Ithaca Journal Comments

[Ice Meets Metal]

I recently read Schafer's comments in the Ithaca Journal regarding the St. Lawrence game. I have to say I've have always believed that it is   " A poor general that blames his troops." Perhaps the players did play poorly, or St. Lawrence was just better coached.  However that doesn't mean that the Cornell's coaches shouldn't share in the blame.

Whose job is it to make the team aware going into a game? Whose trains this power play everyday and decides who's in the lineup. Perhaps, Schafer and his assistants should stop isolating themselves from the disappointing performance of their team and start acknowledging some accountability themselves.

And what was the real reason that 4 freshman where scratched?
