Uh-oh. Beeeej blows one at last. [Schafer may rule--or reign--but in this case he reins.][/quote]

I think his head just exploded!::doh::[/quote]

Nice catch Al.[/quote]

He should lose an "e" for that...or maybe change the spelling to Beeeeg?? ::innocent::

The freshman were the best most talented players on the ice. It was said that Cornell gambled and lost with the freshmen. I disagree. It was the freshmen that gambled with Cornell and lost. Schaffer has no idea how to use them and has succeeded in taking proven offensive talent and severely limiting them via his systems and coaching style.

Shaffer is a dinosaur and the game has passed him by.

I agree. Schaffer is an awful coach and he should never work in this business again. Schafer, on the other hand...

Sorry inside joke that only maybe 2 would actually get.

He has experience and skills. He should be doing better. The only answer is that his coach isn't getting the most out of him.

It's time for a change.

[quote KeithK]I'm pretty sure bandrews37 isn't trolling. He just has an unpopular negative opinion right now. IMM's first post looked like the same. This one is so over the top negative that I can't help but think he's trolling. Even if e he's not there's no point in arguing with someone who thinks " Schafer gambled with the freshman forwards this season and lost".[/quote]
Thanks, Keith. I've been out of the country for a week and a half and hadn't checked around here for a bit.

I assure you I'm not trolling and you're right, I don't have a popular opinion with many folks on here now. At least I'm willing to defend why I believe the way I do. I'm always willing to discuss the team, pros and cons.

This guy though... wow... My only thought is that he's like the little monkey at the zoo: throw enough shit at the wall and some of it's bound to stick.
