CU vs. Denver

[Tom Lento]

stop it....  we are a crappy team.  so disappointing.

Does this mean the Fire Schafer party is going to start early this year? Looks like Yale might have a good team again, maybe we can even start the "Schafer's system doesn't work" threads before the bulk of the ECAC RS gets going.

[Redscore]

yes.. i'll be honest...  i haven't watched a cornell game for five years...  boring. I love the school and team and I follow the team like a true fan, but I cant watch anymore.  if you talk to college hockey fans, We are boring, and irrelevant. I love the team but cant watch them anymore.....

Have you been drinking?

[Redscore]

No. don't want to get into an argument with you...  Just stating how i've felt for a while.  enjoy the successes like all of you, but still would like to actually see our team play exciting hockey, even if they lose. I know that maybe it puts me in the minority.  I'm a huge supporter of the school and sports comes second.  Play to win and have fun, not to win in a constipated way...

Box score from Saturday shows Cornell with 45 minutes of penalties at 20:00 mark of the third:
McCarron 5+10 (obscene language, DQ)
de Swardt 5+10 (spearing, misconduct)
Bench 5+10 (abuse of officials, misconduct)

Looks like we may be without McCarron next game and whoever abused the officials could get a game suspension.
I can see how Mike or one of the assistants could go ballistic at hearing the other penalties called.

McCarron 5+10 (obscene language, DQ)

DQ'ing someone for obscene language is pretty ridiculous.  Ref must be very sensitive about his relationship with his mother, sister, and/or farm animals.

Certainly looks like the refs swallowed their otherwise pretty active whistles until the very end, there.  I'm sure that had nothing to do with DU being up.

Trolling.  It's like drinking, except it isn't.

I was being kind.

I was afraid this would happen.
My family has been involved with Cornell hockey since Ezra skated on Beebe.
And, even great-uncle Mordecai says he's never seen a less disciplined Cornell hockey team than this one.
Two nights of bad, out-of-town refs would be one thing. But, this is an almost every game scenario.
Coach needs to get control of his players (coaches?) & quick, or this season will be one for the record books.
And, not in a good sense.

Agree. Losing a game is one thing.  Embarrassing the University while doing so is another.

[Give My Regards]

Um... a misconduct for spearing and a DQ for obscene language?  Isn't it usually the other way around?

Well Said!

I am afraid that there is an element of truth in what Redscore says. At the beginning of the season this team was touted as one of the best Cornell teams in at least the last 2 decades. So far that potential has not been realized, and the on ice behavior has embarrassed our Alma Mater. Make no mistake about it, the Coach owns this problem, it is up to him to right the ship and he should be judged accordingly.

It's McCarron's second DQ, so he's gone for the next TWO games.

Bench 5+10 (abuse of officials, misconduct)

According to a DU fan on USCHO, the abuse-of-officials penalty was later rescinded.
