Quote from: andyw2100 on March 13, 2026, 03:17:52 PMHere's something I don't think I've seen mentioned...

Not tempting the woofing gods here, but should Cornell manage to win the ECAC Championship, anyone think that that could have an impact on Castagna's decision? I believe he would then have a chance to be among the first Cornell players to win an ECAC championship all four years, as I don't believe freshman were allowed to play on the 1967 varsity team, and the only time Cornell has won four straight ECAC championships was 1967-1970.

I realize winning the championship is a ways off, and even if it happens, it may not be a factor, but I hope it may be.

I do not think the team's performance would influence him short of winning the NCAA title. At that point I can see him thinking there was nothing more he could experience or achieve in college hockey.

I am willing to risk losing him early in that eventuality.

Barron vs. Malinski (starting at 4pm) is a nice appetizer before our Game 2 this evening.

Both were on the ice for the opening faceoff (which Morgan won), and we got a quick mention of "the former teammates at Cornell" by the Winnipeg announcer.

Two assists for Barron this afternoon, including one that sprung Kyle Connor on a breakaway for the Winnipeg GWG.

Although Barron has been a bit "hot and cold" at times this season, he has now eclipsed his previous career best for points in an NHL season with 10G, 12A. He also got there in 13 fewer games than it took in his previous best season ('22-23).

I had a Dalton Bancroft sighting last night. The LV Phantoms played the Providence Bruins, his team.

He didn't get a lot of ice time, but at least he's playing.

I could swear I saw him. Guess not. My bad.

Bancroft had the first multi-point game of his pro career with two assists tonight vs Seger and Grand Rapids

Malinski off the schneid with his first goal in 27 games:

I missed that Bancroft was traded with Rizzo (Denver) to Nashville. Moved from Providence to Milwaukee.

Barron dropped the gloves to try to exact some payback after taking a big hit, and it did not go well: https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1s4t01o/josh_manson_lays_out_morgan_barron_then_drops_the/

The postgame report indicates he is now in concussion protocol and must be medically cleared before he can return to the lineup.

Watching the PWHL game between NY and Montreal.

Zandee-Hart with a nice shot from the point that was beautifully tipped in by O'Neill. Unfortunately, video review determined it was a high stick. When the ruling was announced, the camera panned to O'Neill just as she dropped an f-bomb.

The Avs are demolishing Calgary and Malinski went forehand-backhand on an odd-man rush to make it 8-1:

Sam is now sitting on 5G, 29A for the season, more than doubling his output from last season, and also giving him the record for most points in a single NHL season by a Cornell d-man (eclipsing Doug Murray's 17-point campaign for San Jose in 09-10).

Malinski has 2 goals in a wild one against the lowly Canucks, where the Avs climbed back from a 6-2 deficit to tie it at 6 (Malinski's second), only to go down 7-6 again with a few mins left now.
