1/4 vs. ASU

[BearLover]

Well, almost time to turn it off.

Cornell historically has never got beat badly by similar pairwise teams like this and for some reason this year is different. It feels different and it is different.

I don't know if it's the coach or whatever, but having this many returnees and losing so many games really is shocking. What is going on? Can we finally panic?

Sadly, I am becoming bearish on the season. Shane seems to have taken a step back, and Seeger's departure combined with some of the injuries has left a hole offensively that we don't seem to have been able to overcome. We can still make hay in the ECAC, but it doesn't seem likely.

I just don't understand. Why is this happening? How can we fall so hard with barely any roster moves ?

Coaching staff overhaul this past summer? Regression to the mean? Small sample?

For a guy whose puck skills are alright at best, Kempf sure loves calling for the puck.

He's one guy I actually think has regressed since his freshman year. He hasn't looked good at many moments this year.

[Dafatone]

No sense losing a close one.

This is obviously going to change barring a really, really good third, but entering tonight, Cornell had 3 losses and the 13th best record in D1.

Seems that way. He's been injured this year though, hasn't he?

Who hasn't regressed this season? Walsh? Anybody else? The team is in total disarray.

down 4 but not really dominated in anyway. We have no ability to score on chances down low and it shows.

of course losing the ST race by 1-2 goals every game isnt helping the cause. ASu couldnt stay out of the box last night and tonight almost no calls at all against them,

After tonight Cornell will have 5 regulation wins, 4 regulation losses, 3 regulation ties, and 1 OT win (in gimmicky 3x3). Mediocre team, mediocre record.

IMO Robertson has taken a step back. He is still a very good defenseman, but last year he was an absolute stud.

Regardless of how this game goes, I think we see at Keopple in net at least once next weekend.

It speaks to the complete lack of confidence the coaching staff has in the backup goalies that Shane STILL hasn't been pulled, after giving up two terrible soft goals, in a 4-0 game! The game is out of reach and the starter has been anwful and they STILL haven't pulled him! Why didn't the pull him after the third goal? Probably because the alternative is even worse.

Could be the coaching staff, but regression to the mean I don't think matters - because Cornell is always above average, at least a top 20 team. This team maybe is an anomaly, no idea what's going on

Hell keopple went to the world juniors a few years ago, makes you wonder how he's been performing in practice if he came in with that kind of pedigree and can't get any ice time at all.

As you can see from the Rangers, sometimes the wheels just come off.  Mysterious.

It is crazy. He was really bad in his limited opportunities the last two seasons but you'd think he'd at least be serviceable. I guess not?

Agreed there. He's been a lot less noticeable.
