Opponents and Others 2023-24

[Trotsky]

Not even NESN cares about the Bean Plop consy.

I should probably just shut up - but I'm not good at that.

I think Ben Syer and Topher are great guys. Neither will be the next coach. Casey Jones is one of my favorite people in hockey, and I think he's a great coach. However, he's only 4 years younger than Coach Schafer - and so it won't be him either.

Why won't Ben Syer be the next coach?

Perhaps some guys are cut out to be 2nd in command but not top dog?

coaching at Cornell requires a bit of something not everyone has.  Going from Assistant to the main job requires more than some want to put in.  

We dont know the answer until we do.

[Dafatone]

Harvard lost to BC. We appear to have gone up in  RPI by .0001.

Perhaps, but the onus is on adamw to say that. Otherwise, it seems reasonable to assume that a longtime assistant at a successful program would not turn down a big pay increase and an opportunity to lead the program.

Just before NE's Fontaine wins IT in OT I'm yelling "It's a shame this is going to be determined by a shootout!"

[chimpfood]

I'm a bit worried about northeastern as a team that could sneak into an at large bid or win the HE tourney. Nothing is scarier than the team with the hot goalie.

Topher was a guest on CHN podcast this week.

BU and Providence tie.  BU dominated OT but couldn't pull it out.   Shootout coming up.

[Chris '03]

UNH just beat Maine. Not helpful for Cornell's PWR situation.

[Trotsky]

3-way tie for 12 right now.

Getting no help from Minn-Duluth. They are already down 2-0 to Denver. (We played UMD twice so we care about them for SOS, plus if they sweep Denver it opens up a very outside chance that Denver goes into a tailspin and drops below us in the rankings.)

A local bar had that game on one of the televisions and Duluth just looks much slower and less fluid than Cornell. Denver is clearly a better team and I would expect them to sweep
