2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals

[RichH]

Not regionals, but some good news for a NYS neighbor (that is if someone can accept a school other than Cornell finding glory): Hobart won the D3 NCAA hockey championship today, their 1st. They beat defending champ Adrian (MI) 3-2 in OT.

And the head coach is former Cornell assistant Mark Taylor

Wow, Michigan has zero defensive structure.

And 27 frozen four berths

Run n gun > lockdown defense if you want to maximize deep runs in college hockey...

Cornell has as many titles as Michigan since 1965.

Cornell has as many titles as Brown since 1971.

I know, but... it was just hanging there.

I said deep runs, not championships.  

Probably should have said "maximize the number of deep runs". As written you might have taken it to mean maximize an individual deep run."

Yes, Schafer has been successful, but the above is misleading because you just decided to cut it off at the one round that Cornell usually gets to before they lose. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but if you measure this by NCAA appearances, we're approximately tied with Harvard. If you measure by frozen fours, we're tied with Harvard and Yale and behind Q and Union. If you measure by national championships, we're behind Yale and Union. As I say, these random schools with no hockey tradition or fans have reached heights we haven't reached in 20+ years, and that's extremely demoralizing in my view.

This is cringe

[Trotsky]

FWIW, Union started its hockey program in 1904, were coached by Ned Harness in the 70s, and reached the NCAA D2 and D3 Frozen Four in the 1980s, before winning the D1 title in 2014.

Quinnipiac... yeah, they did come from nowhere under Pecknold, successfully transitioning from D3 to D1.

Wwhy are we wasting our time with this sniveling whiner?

Hey, that's not nice. You should be in a better mood this morning—your Bobcats just made it to their third Frozen Four in ten years! *sniffles*

[adamw]

The only thing demoralizing is having to waste time continually reading BearLover's nonsense ... Age, can we get a mute button?

Quinnipiac—7

tell me again how cornell is supposed to compete with this on an even playing field and why we should pretend that this is anything except the base reality? under the circumstances of our participation - which will not change - Cornell is literally the best case scenario but for puck luck.
