lles is not the answer

USCHO article on the streak. With this quote:

Quote"Five straight shutouts at home ... we've never had that at Cornell," Big Red coach Mike Schafer said. "We're going to win a lot of games if that keeps up."

Two other interesting quotes. The first not about Iles, but former Colgate David McIntyre:

QuoteMcIntyre said he was able to work on his defense while at Colgate, and cited this as a reason for his quick rise up the ladder in the pro game.

"Our coach stressed defensive play when I was there so my defensive game got to develop," he said. "When I made the transition to the [AHL] and this league, I was able to put defense first. That's my role; to play 'D' and be tenacious."

and from Schafer on Iles and Ferlin picks, or not, for US Juniors:

Quote"He's clearly shown he's capable, especially at the BU game in front of 18,000 people," Schafer said, referring to the Red Hot Hockey matchup against Boston University Nov. 26 at Madison Square Garden.

Iles is the only collegiate goalie listed.

"It's great for Brian; he was kind of an underdog, a last-minute replacement in the summer and he came through," Schafer said. "Brian has produced and performed and was named and Andy has produced and performed and he wasn't."

Tenacious D? Really?

It certainly sounds as if Schafer would strongly prefer to be without Andy's services in Florida - interesting. I think that's a good attitude in the long run - if players know that he has their best long-term interests in mind (rather than being willing to sacrifice those for the short term gain of a non-conference win or two), that has to be a plus for potential recruits.

In fairness, kids today probably don't (and shouldn't) get the cultural reference (to say nothing of the meta-reference). "If your parents don't hate your music you're doing it wrong." -- Iggy Pop

At least Andy isn't under the scrutiny of the Buffalo media:

Hartford Sabres!

The Buffalo media market provides too much exposure and money to the NHL. The Bills might leave Buffalo because they are barely profitable (they even play a "home game" each season in Toronto), but the Sabres control one of the largest media shares in the NHL. Say what you will about Buffalo and Western New York, but their viewership in hockey is undeniable.

Oh please. Complaining about your team's performance is part of being a fan. It's part of being glad you have a team.

Y'ever listen to sports radio in Philly? No way Boston has a lock on the whiney market. :-D
