also humble request to any cornell hockey affiliated people that may be reading this forum: today (04/15) is my birthday. woot, or something. idk. i'm already in hell with assignments because i have two essays due today that i haven't started yet, plus i've got three hours of makeup classes in the afternoon that ensure i'll get home no earlier than 7 pm, absolutely drained and in no mood to do anything except curl up in bed and cry myself to sleep. and i don't even have a cake or anything like that to "celebrate". AND the devils are bad and got shut out by the boston fucking bruins, but they're not bad enough to be in lottery range. so can you pretty please, with sugar on top, put a leash on any other possible pro signings/transfers out/whatever until tomorrow? because the cournoyer one was already a kick in the balls. please? i don't need any more reasons to be sad. life sucks enough already. thanks for your consideration. <3

Your birthday is Tax Day? Sorry, but that pretty much kills every imaginable vibe right there.

Tax Day, Lincoln dies, Titanic sinks, Notre Dame burns, Boston Marathon bombing... and I was born. Perhaps the worst thing out of all of these.

Jackie Robinson made his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers. 

A friend shares this birthday and once had a party where attendees were encouraged to dress to pay tribute to one of the 4/15 events (not the bombing, cmon).

Happy birthday!

It's also my sister-in-law's birthday.

Happy birthday to your sister in law! 🎉

Sorry about Cournoyer. Yes, really. Anything bad for a league team is bad for all teams in the league, although I make an exception for Union. They lost their leading scorer whose name I can't spell and am too lazy to look up.

I often get information about RPI players in a do-not-reveal mode. A while back, I heard about a CHL player whom RPI was after. I didn't expect RPI to get him for a reason which would probably reveal who he is. Anyway, he committed to Cornell in the last couple of days. I could not find anything on line yet which is typical. He won't in any way replace Cournoyer, but he should be a significant contributor on offense.

Mitch Gillam's cousin? 

I didn't find a cousin for either listed on Elite Prospects.

Thought the Emoji would indicate the joke.  Since we "need" a goalie and you implied offense...

I realized that it was meant to be a joke, but I didn't get the joke. When I wrote "He won't in any way replace Cournoyer," I meant to imply he was not a goalie.

Just PM'd you.

McNally on Cournoyer. Nothing super new, but still.

i appreciate the connection to stienburg as to "why cornell" - he may not have been very open about looking into colleges and that kind of informal pipeline may have had him fall into our lap.

while i'm typing this, a difference comes to mind between cournoyer and robertson @BearLover - Cournoyer's departure feels more mercenary and Robertson's more organic. I don't think Robertson arrived in Ithaca looking for a stepping stone but took an offer when it was made. Something about Cournoyer (in retrospect, and without any actual judgment of him as a person) feels like he may have been. Plus, Cournoyer leaves a much bigger hole in the lineup.

Divver says Cornell recruited Miller before Denver? And that we could get involved.
