lles is not the answer

[ajh258]

Scrivens was the answer, so if Iles gets the ECAC Championship and then into the Forzen Fours, then he will become the answer.

I appreciate everything Scrivens did while at Cornell, but I must have missed those Frozen Fours.

Scrivens didn't have the firing power that Iles has now, so the bar must be set higher.

I hope you're correct. Ben's senior season did have a team that had 3 100-pointers (Greening, R. Nash, and Gallagher), plus a couple of other guys who made it to the AHL pretty quickly (ie, their first year out of Cornell (B. Nash and J. Devin). Personally, I think that team probably should have made it to the FF once, if not twice. They were eliminated by a UNH team that they had dominated during the season (RIT came out of the Albany region). The year earlier they fell to a hot Bemidji State in the Regional Final. Things really were set up for them those last 2 seasons -- they were talented, experienced, and the draws allowed them to avoid WCHA powers.

This team may have a lot of talent, but they're relatively young and inexperienced. Need to be patient. I'd be very happy with an NCAA berth this season.

God I love the forzen four. Definitely better than all the other fours, such as final or frozen.

Brom performed admirably at the last one.

Ylae has never had the answer for them.

Ahem.

OK, but let's be realistic:  we all know bad goalies have good games sometimes (usually against [insert team the speaker roots for here]).  If you thought Iles wasn't the answer before this weekend, good performances in mid-November home games against middling opposition aren't likely to change your mind.

Good goalies also have bad games sometimes. They can also improve between ages 19-22.

Let's see how many other goalies blank this middling travel pair this season. I'll bet the answer is zero. I'm not making the argument that he needs a new suit for the Hobey ceremony but "[Player] sucks" threads started a week into the season deserve to be mocked.

Sure.  To clarify, I'm not defending the original premise of the thread, I'm just saying that if you did agree with that premise, these two games probably won't have changed your mind.

It's the for-est of all the fours.

As the starter of this thread I have to say I was very impressed with Andy on Saturday night.  He was the difference in the first period.  I'm also unbiased enough to recognoze his improvement.  Only once in Saturday's game did I scratch my head at him going down to his stomach while the puck was still in play.  Other than that one brief moment he postioned himself well and kept himself in the play.  Andy has shown marked improvement over the first segment of the schedule. His contunued development is key to the success of this years team.

Since people seem to think that Scrivens has achieved some form of Deity status for his efforts at Cornell and now having elevated his game to the Show,  Let's take a look back at his and Iles' comparable stats for the same time frames in their tenure on the hill to this point.  Remember that Iles was a true 18 yr old Freshman and Scrivens was 20 his first game for the Red.  In terms of physical maturity that's a Big difference.

Glad to see the coaching staff has far more knowledge and foresight into how to run their team then the Monday morning Bench Bosses around these parts.  There is no ANSWER.  other than 42.  All you can do is hope for successful seasons and support the Team and coaching staff in every way possible.   Enjoy the ride while it lasts and don't get down on them when they run into a bad spell.

What is the square root of 1764, Alex?

[RichH]

There is no ANSWER.  other than 42.

This forum figured that out organically.

What do you get when you multiply six by nine?

That would be the question if we're in base 13.
