Alumni in the pros 25-26

Here'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.

Are you yanking our chain?  He plays for Milwaukee now.  They are in Manitoba tonight.  He is 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.
