Cornell @ Union, 2/14/26

Why not pull Keopple for the powerplay if you're gonna do it now?

[BearLover]

The flu has officially hit the coaching staff as well. Clearly should have pulled the goalie at the outset of the PP but they decided to wait until the PP expired and there are 3 minutes left in the game down by 3 goals.

Obviously this was the move. Coaches fast asleep

Anyways I'm just gonna listen to the song Flu Game because it's topical and good.

Can someone erase my memory of this weekend?

[Trotsky]

Suboptimal.

Hey Cornell.  It's Valentine's Day, and you can't score.

Just said to the missus, 39 years ago tonight I was at Lynah East when they shut us out 3-0 and the Harvard fan or two yelled "Hey Cornell, it's Valentine's Day and you can't score.

Because then they can ice with impunity.

Complete embarrassment. Will be a miracle if we stay within 3 goals of Quinnipiac next weekend.

7 third period shots is horrible when you're down three. It seems like every game the other team blocks twice as many shots as we do. Major again sucked on faceoffs, which isn't gonna work. And horrendous IQ and effort from Stanley to give them that empty netter. Gonna get destroyed next weekend if we play like this.

BL man sometimes you have actual insight and other times (unfortunately, most of it) it's just doomer drivel about how we suck and we'll never be good and we're terrible and this team is an embarrassment or whatever the hell and it genuinely makes me want to slit my wrists

They can't ice it if they don't have the puck because Cornell has 2 extra skaters. It is not even a close call, you absolutely pull the goalie there. The game is effectively over if Cornell doesn't score on the PP. Casey has seemed metrics-savvy thus far but this was a total mistake

[arugula]

The issue for us is we have a weak league schedule and it turns out a weak ooc schedule.  As such, no good wins and literally any loss (except Q) turns out to be bad, even BU and perhaps Umass.  Leaves you no margin for error.

It's just forum posting but if it's making you contemplate self-harm then I will stop, I don't want anyone to hurt themselves

put arseneault on major's wing and have him take the FOs then, didn't he go 5-2 vs colgate?

Not to guilt trip you but I am barely even kidding, I'm holding on by a fuckin thread right now and that thread is remembering there are still games at Lynah this semester that I'd like to see before I fully tailspin into the abyss. That and also I'm at my parents' place right now. Which honestly is probably a solid chunk of the reason I'm in this funk in the first place, but, more importantly, I've kept this shit under wraps for about 7 years now and I'm not about to have them get involved now lmao.

Whoops, there's your daily "Stereax goes way TMI for no reason" of the thread!
