Goalie Recruit

[froboymitch]

I found out today that Schafer will be bringing a goalie recruit in for next year. One of my buddies on the team told me this, but they don't know who yet.

I don't think anybody is surprised by this -- Mike wants to carry three and a few guys had already passed up Cornell for other schools.  Let us know when you know who.

Gah, and here I thought this was actual news about a new goalie recruit. :-/

I don't know who it is yet but I did hear that it is someone who is expected to play, probably in tandem with McKee.

i feel sorry for chabot.  i know this has been discussed to death, but is he REALLY that bad?  is it his work ethics, or his skill?

[Greg Berge]

It may simply be the numbers game.  McKee's numbers were superb, and it's almost certainly his job to lose.  Given that, it's logical to bring in a young backup, rather than go with an older backup and leave the team vulnerable if McKee were to go elsewhere.

I don't think it's anything against Louis, and you never know, he might get his share of ice time next year if the other goalies falter.

I'd like to see Chabot play, just.... to see him play.  Put him in the exhibition game or something.  I mean nobody really knows anything about him, do they?  Is he any good at all?

I've only seen him play in the most recent Red-White game, alongside McKee and Marr (the three all split time between the two goals).  It was clear to me that Chabot was the worst of the three goalies at the time; it was at that time that I became very impressed with McKee.

Well, obviously.  But for my own sick voyeuristic purposes I'd like to see what's so wrong with him. :-}

IIRC, Chabot was 25-1 the year before he came to Cornell.   I don't know anything about the team that surrounded him or the caliber of the competition playing against him.   But, a 25-1 record, suggests that he was a winner.

Or is "Skelton" a fake, created solely to make the Skazyk years seem OK?

Chris Heisenberg is showing that Cornell has recruited Troy Davenport a goalie for Green Bay in the USHL, 5'8 165 1-5-85.

(And on 1/5/85 RPI beat Dartmouth 5-2 for its 9th consecutive win in what became a 30-game winning streak that season and a 38-game unbeaten streak over two years.  :-P )


Edit: Green Bay's site states that he is  6'-1"  170 lb.
 

[Tom Pasniewski 98]

Pointstreak shows he's 5'10'' and 150 lbs.  Somewhat of a discrepancy.
