Basking in the glow of #13

[RichH]

Congratulations to us all, haters and losers included. 2010 seems like forever ago. Heck, the last time our team hoisted the Scotty in Lake Placid, Schaf was holding his kid in his arms and Mudpuddles was a thing.

Recent debates about what success markers we value here have been interesting. But these nights are special and the chances to bank them are so fleeting, and if you miss, it's a long road back.

13 increases our total ECAC Title count over some off-red team who only has 11. Schafer's 6th breaks a tie for most ever held with SLU's Joe Marsh. 3 in LP, 3 in Albany.

Thanks to this young, young team and the coaching staff who put it together. Not always the smoothest or most dominant, but I'm grateful they brought it home.

Yes.  Hear hear.  I recall the 2010 game in Albany with my Cornell roommate who has since passed. I thought of him today.

Hopefully the first of many for this young group. I've had a blast this season but the future is even brighter.

Schafer quoted in the CHN article as saying "Im on the back 9 here." Although it really isn't a shock, it is sad to hear him say with the guy having been coach as long as I can remember. If I had to guess I would say he goes when these 10 freshman graduate.

I was thinking the same thing: He must be excited to see what this freshman class can do over the next three years, but after that...

He's about 60, so I suppose anything is possible, but - you guys know the "back 9" just means the second half, right?

If he still feels good and is having success, why would he quit?

Well, Diane may have some say in the matter.

if kids are grown up and you have 30 yrs into this with all the recruiting time it takes maybe you want that last 10+ yrs to be more than hockey,

Topher was in my section toward the end of the regular season.  Maybe he was in town to start the discussion about an eventual transition.
