Cornell, North Dakota, Penn State with big weekends, and a defense of Jerry York against ‘idiotic’ comments: Weekend Review podcast Season 2 Episode 7

by

Hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger look back at the games of November 14-16, 2019, including Cornell’s North Country sweep over Clarkson and St. Lawrence, Notre Dame and Wisconsin’s split and how good the Badgers are, Harvard’s 6-0-0 start, North Dakota’s five-point weekend at Denver, Penn State’s two romps at Minnesota, a good comeback by Mercyhurst after a blowout at the hands of American International, and more.

Jim and Ed also weigh in on “idiotic” comments from Toronto sports writers about Jerry York’s decision to stay behind the bench for Boston College before heading to the Hockey Hall of Fame induction, and how Canadian media still fails to understand college hockey in the U.S.

New Hampshire getting offense from high-end blueliners, but no huge emphasis on creating balanced pairings
