The bye is the only material thing we’re playing for at this point in the regular season (I guess other than the Ivy title). So that’s the focus. It’s also not a terribly unrealistic goal given the teams ahead of us have tough remaining schedules. We basically need to pass two of Clarkson, Dartmouth, Union, Colgate.stereax

I wouldn't say that. (I am an optimist.)
The teams tied for third ahead of us are ahead of us by five points. We have eight games left to play...24 possible points. One of those two teams is Union, and we play them twice. The other team tied for third is Dartmouth, and they've played one more game than we have.

I thought they could onlly give 5 on a review?
I just looked for this again. The rule changed before the season started. I thought they could call a minor on video review if not called on the ice but what this says is that the refs can wipe out a major penalty or downgrade a major to a minor. I don't read this as stating that a minor can be called on video review if no penalty was called on the ice - but that is what I thought some articles had said in September. It also seems that the officials can wipe out a major but not a minor.
NCAA
When using video replay, officials will have the ability to review a major penalty and downgrade it to a minor penalty or no penalty. Officials can add to a major penalty during the review (game misconduct or disqualification).
The off season changes.

Castagna never does anything. Only 2 offensive zone faceoff wins in the last 30 seconds.
I’m apparently living rent free in your head.
Be better.
What are you my mother? Be better? I offered an opinion about a seemingly underperforming hockey player which seems to have really bothered you.
Last time you slandered me because I deigned to defend urban living. Next time I suspect you’ll argue with me when I suggest that the sky is blue.
JC has two goals. Never mind. All Cornell players are all-stars.

A poster on a hockey forum called the most talented and highest drafted player on the team a disappointment because that player has scored two goals the whole season and is averaging under half a point per game and now you’re calling the poster names lolTrotsky

Castagna has outstanding hockey sense and he is only 19. There are things that don't show up as stats.

For sure. Lots of upside. But I’m not sure why saying that a scorer not scoring is disappointing struck a nerve or is controversial. A team full of guys with outstanding hockey sense who never score won’t cut it.

I’m pretty sure if you asked Castagna himself, he’d tell you this has been a really tough year and that he isn’t happy with his own play. He’d probably agree with arugula that his season has been a colossal disappointment. The extreme visceral reaction on this forum whenever anybody says something negative about the team is getting weird at this point. arugula’s post was obviously premised on Castagna being supremely talented and capable of much more. Which is true, and which is why his lack of production has been shocking.

I think part of the counterargument, though, is that Castagna, as one of the players expected to be the best on the team, gets matched to much harder competition than others on the team. At this point, though, I'm mostly just considering the entire regular season a bit of a wash and hoping we get hot down the stretch and into the playoffs. Everyone's injured, sick, suspended, or some combination of the three, and it's difficult to accurately judge a team when so much is going on behind the scenes that we're not even aware about. Hopefully Castagna kicks it up a notch for the playoffs.BearLover

Curious to know what people in this forum think about the 2 Friday night suspended guys being responsible for 4 of the 7 points in total on Saturday - Stanley with the 1st goal and O'Leary with an assist on all 3 goals.
Should strategic suspensions be a part of Cornell's game plans??!?

Haha-a definite no for me
Perhaps the extra days rest and/or the wrath of Schaf spurred them

News of this post has made its way over to the Clarkson Hockey Roundtable…adamw
BearLover
On the Clarkson Hockey Roundtable (thanks ugarte for reminding me as to the existence of this website), the posters have been celebrating Casey’s departure and are very optimistic about their new coach. While Casey was there they consistently called for his firing. The posters criticize Casey for “dump and chase hockey” and are thrilled with their new coach’s “possession” style. They also still blame Casey for the losses this season, under the logic that the new coach inherited his players.
The “dump and chase” criticism is pretty funny. Casey certainly understands dump and chase hockey is not a high percentage play, and I’m sure his teams were doing it out of necessity rather than as a strategy. But the posters are under the impression dump and chase was Casey’s preferred style.
Casey had more success at Clarkson than any coach there since the '90s, when the landscape was VASTLY different. There are no shortage of delusional, ignorant fans on any team's message board/thread. Clarkson will be lucky to have a program in 5 years.

Well definitely we could have used them Friday.
I was thinking more in terms of motivation. Remember when Schaf took Ben Berard out of the line-up for a Friday game and then Berard scored a hat trick the next night:

For sure. I think the cocktail of fight + suspension + getting kicked in the nuts by SLU will do that.Snowball

No. Not the brawl, not losing to StL, not anything, is going to inspire this team to turn its season around. There have been countless impetuses to do that already, and it has never happened. Clearly it’s not lack of inspiration or desire to win that explains the lack of results. It’s talent, coaching, and execution that is going to determine whether this team can turn things around. The brawl did nothing for this team other than cost them at least one game this past weekend.

Sorry, that was overly harsh. I just don’t see it happening. If losing the last game of first semester to Colgate or losing 4-0 to ASU or losing to Sacred Heart didn’t light a fire, nothing is going to. I also don’t buy the premise that a fire needs to be lit in the first place.Snowball

No worries. Though it's usually only my father-on-law who can be so pessimistic:
Father-in-law: Don't you think we are leaving a terrible, horrible world for your kids?
Me: No, cancer will be cured in their lifetime
Bearlover, you be you, I'll continue to be Pollyanna:
- get more players back,
- get the powerplay going,
- Shane continues excellent play...
Ergo: ECAC tournament, Great end of season.

I have seen this go the other way though too. In 2012-13 (our most recent disappointing regular season?) after a Friday OT loss to top ten ranked Yale, Schafer benched leading scorer Greg Miller and they went out and played a lifeless 3-0 game in a home loss against Brown. It was one time where I was furious at a Schafer decision.

I've forgotten a lot about that season for good reason. That was the start of some mediocre years that didn't really end until some better players emerged (Angello, Vanderlaan, Kaldis, etc.) along with the shift in playing style.
