Cornell vs Denver, NC$$ First Round, 3/27/26

[Trotsky]

A reminder this is the first time Cornell had gone to the NC$$s 4x in a row since 1967-70.

All these underclassmen are a year older next year.

This team is going to get better.

Cornell went to the tournament 4 times in a row from 2017 to 2020 also. They were locked for a 1 seed in 2020.

Next year is going to be very rough if Walsh and Castagna aren't back, and realistically we need both back to be nationally competitive.

I'm hopeful today left a bad enough taste in their mouth that they won't want to go out this way.

[Trotsky]

Thank you, seniors.

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is just an oncoming train.

We played well, all things considered. Denver's real good.

First time getting steamrolled since 2019, 4-0 vs Providence in Providence.

We were gassed in the 3rd. Even if it were tied going in, DU dominated. They played a cohesive team game, we didn't.

Freshman always hit a wall eventually. Let's get them all conditioned in the offseason.

I said it when we dropped game 1 to Harvard - so much of this team has zero college playoffs experience.

We'll get better. Obviously, the Walsh and Castagna questions remain. But even if we lose both, I have faith that we'll stay competitive next year and recruit to fill the gaps.

Thank you to Casey Jones, the athletic department, hell, the whole team for embarrassing ourselves like this on a national stage.

You signed up to post this crap?

I, and I'm guessing most here, are proud of this team.

Oh, well, some people have higher expectations than two losses to your former assistant coach and a blowout in the NCAAs. Sorry! See you next year for our scheduled loss to BU in the NCAA regional.

What makes you think this team will make the NCAA next year?

We lost a lot more in talent last season than we will this season, even if both Walsh and Castagna go. Kempf, O'Leary, Rego, Bancroft, Kovich, Mack, Robertson, Penney, Psenicka, Suda, Shane.

That's two whole entire lines and d-pairs and a goalie.

We can recover from losing two star centers and a few fringe players (no offense, Keopple, Donaldson, DeSantis, Wallace, and O'Brien).

Do we have centers coming in this year? Hopefully at least one good one.

Gio, Charlie, buds, time to step it up if both Walsh and Casty go.

I do not accept falso sequitur quodlibet.

I don't expect any to come in. Could be Major, DiGiulian, Devlin, Catalano, Arsenault as the center depth next year, which would be rough.

For Alexis Cournoyer...

"It's all Your Fault!"
"It's all Your Fault!"
"It's all Your Fault!"
"It's all Your Fault!"

Obviously the fifth and final (Empty Net) Goal wasn't.  But, fair is fair for the other four, even if three were deflections. 5-0.  Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword.

Head coach Casey Jones on Denver:

"That's a deep, talented team. By far the best team we played this season."

Ryan Walsh on Denver:

"They're an extremely talented team. Their goalie played well. They got Pohlkamp back there. They're a really deep team, right? They're going four lines all night."
