NCAAs quarterfinal Cornell vs. BU

[Trotsky]

Thank you, seniors.

Thank you, Mike.

[Chris H82]

Great stretch run!  Thank you Big Red!  Thank you Mike!

Yeah, thanks to the team and Coach Schafer!

1-10 in the second round is absolutely gut wrenching. We keep beating BU at MSG but losing the ones that matter. Man this hurts

[stereax]

Thank you Schafer. Thank you Big Red. You did so, so well.

[Big Dingus]

Just cursed in the elite 8.

What a run man.

[BearLover]

So depressing. That was the opportunity to finally break through. Three years straight having our years ended by ultra-skilled teams with 13+ draft picks.

Solid run through championships - great way to end such a tough season.

Well our lacrosse team is still #1!

These guys had the stuff of champions, regardless of this outcome. You don't play sports for moral victories, but they gave us everything we could have hoped for this year. Schafer deserved to win at least one natty, if we're being honest. A living legend. Thanks everyone

For sure. Schafer's last rope-a-dope trick :')

This team played so well in the last half dozen games. Went toe to toe with teams ranked higher in the tournament. Obviously you don't want the run to end but they did Schafer proud.

100%. ECAC champions. Champions in our hearts. Fought so hard, laid it all on the line. A storybook team, just without a fully storybook ending.

Thanks to you guys, too. I don't think I'd have become such a fan of Cornell hockey if it weren't for y'all, talking with me, telling me stories of the past, and being such a great community. I love all of you.

The one draft pick who mattered most was their mid-year mercenary goaltender; without him we win that game hands down. Welcome to college sports 2025. Given the changing landscape, even in "minor" sports like hockey, it's fair to wonder what our long-term outlook may be for staying nationally relevant.

[Big Dingus]

Makes you wonder if this was our last true shot at it given the changing recruiting environment with the CHL.

Yeah. They would have had no shot in this game without him. We probably would have played against a different team though. In any case, depressing to lose to yet another team playing by different rules.
