Re: 2025-26 Incoming Freshman and Transfers - 2 months ago
Trotsky underskill I wonder if Casey is going to try to rebalance the class sizes at some pointIt tends to happen on its own. Large classes have a tail of frosh who never see the ice, hence they never develop, hence they continue to get beat out by incoming guys the next year, and eventually they leave. Regression to the mean.by pjd8 - Hockey

BearLover ithacat BearLover ithacat Iceberg Good for Western Michigan. For a while, they were one and done in the NCAA's and then they go on to have this dominant season almost out of nowhere Agreed. Probably not on most fans radar in the preseason. 5 grad students, 9 transfers…but only 6 NHL draft picks. They do have more flexibility when rebuilding a roster. I’m seeing 8 draft picks.

I know the exodus is depressing right now. Transitions suck, and this year is a big transition for the program. But there's also reason for hope. Here's how Clarkson and Cornell finished in the ECAC standings during the 13 years Casey was head coach at Clarkson: Year Clkson Cornell Cornell +/- 2024 5 2 3 2023 6 3 3 2022 2 4 -2 2021 2 2020 2 1 1 2019 3 1 2 2018 3 1 2 2017 6 3 3 20by pjd8 - Hockey

Re: 2025-26 schedule - 2 months ago
Beeeej pjd8 Maybe we're already doing the best we can with scheduling. But it really disappoints me when we play Q in MSG. I see zero benefit to scheduling them for an extra game. Could we really not entice a team like Northeastern, a school that obviously cares about how it is viewed nationally to potential students, to a stage like Madison Square Garden? Whether or not we can entice the teaby pjd8 - Hockey
Re: NC$$ Regionals 2025 - 2 months ago
stereax BC's out. Does that mean we're better than both BC (we won our conference's championship and one natty round, they did not win the championship and lasted just as long) and MSU (directly kicked their asses), the two best teams in college hockey? Much to ponder. I think it speaks more to the depth of the field this year. Even Bentley played BC strong. I get why the brackets were theby pjd8 - Hockey

Re: 2025-26 schedule - 2 months ago
BearLover Has anybody studied this? Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out the “true” advantage of home ice. I recently read an article (which I can't find quickly now) that talked about what we learned from Covid, and one of the lessons was that home game advantage was real - but only if you were used to playing in front of a loud crowd. Programs without that didn't lose any advantage when fansby pjd8 - Hockey

Scersk '97 VIEWfromK What was Casey's out of conference plan when he was at Clarkson? It will be interesting to see if the approach is different at all than Schafer's (adjusted to fit within the Ivy League scheduling confines of course).

Can we stream ESPNU via an ESPN subscription without having a cable plan, or do I need to buy Sling or something for a month? I have paid for ESPN+, and I've been able to see ESPNU tournament games.

ESPN commentators not only gave the Big Red some respect, they just picked Cornell over BU for Saturday. Of course, they've been on the air for over 12 hours, so they're getting rather punchy.by pjd8 - Hockey

Jeff Hopkins '82 ugarte MSU has higher PPG and lower GA than us despite playing a WCHA schedule. But it's 60 minutes and the gap is much smaller than HC-Minnesota. FWIW, MSU's non-conference opponents other than BC had a winning percentage of about 0.300. Our non-conference opponents had a winning percentage of just under 0.600. And they had a lot of games in the B1G where they gave up 3 orby pjd8 - Hockey

Re: Lake Placid ECAC Championship Tickets - 3 months ago
I stayed in Ithaca for the '86 Denver games and watched the tv broadcast. I remember during pregame the announcers didn't realize the mikes were hot and made comments about Schafer's weight and how he had been dipping into the bonbons too much. I also remember he took a bad hit and it looked like his arm wasn't attached to the rest of him right. He was okay but it was worrisome in the moment.by pjd8 - Hockey
