Out of Town Scores: Game 2

Jesus, from that mawkish guitar music, I thought this game had run into the Masters,

They should keep playing until the start of tonight's game (its sunday)

jock jams!

Funniest line of the night. The Yale color guy cyt off the pbp guy and said he needed to save some material for the 8th intermission.

5th OT has started

44 sec into the 5th OT.

time to sleep

Yale scores a shg to end it. Meckler (?/Frosh). Shucks, I wanted it to go at least 5:36 and beat the women's game.

think i did this correctly

1 Dartmouth
2 Colgate
3 cornell
4 SUCKS
5 slu(t)
6. onion
7. rip
8. clarkson
9. PU
10. q
11. yale
12. brown


5 slu vs 12 brown
6. onion v 11 yale
7 rip v 10 Q
8 clarkson 9 PU

ok so right now we have

1 dartmouth
2 gate
3 cornell
4 sucks

5. slu or 12 brown


8 clarkson
10 Q
11 yale

see what happens:
if SLU wins we get:

1 dartmouth v 11 yale
2 gate vs 10 q
3 cornell vs 8 clarkson
4. sucks vs 5 slu

IF brown wins we get
1 dartmouth v 12 brown
2 gate vs 11 yale
3 cornell vs 10 q
4. sucks vs 8 clarkson

crap, i dont want my ability to get tickets to depend on brown winning tomorrow! clarkson is a pain to get tix from...
go bruno!

Nevermind. The above post just answered my question.

If Brown beats SLU, we host Quinnipiac.

If SLU beats Brown, we host Clarkson.

Easy to listen to the Union feed now!

Also, Greg, did you see my question to you on the second page of this thread, about the 03/08/94 game? I know you'll just know the answer, without needing to look it up anywhere.

Thanks.

Union announcers talking about the Union players that got suspended. They said something like, "We don't know what they did, but it must have been stupid."

I've been to some rediculous NHL overtime games which had meant if the Devils score they win the cup and nothing could be more rediculous then being at Union and seeing that 5 overtime affair. That had to be the best game in the college hockey this year. Oh yeah the Devils beat the Rangers tonight and Dino's didn't have the game, because they have everyother package, but center ice. Don't go to Dino's

Ack
is "press 1 for more options" not good enough for ya?

Better than the computer voice-recognition program that pretends to be talking to you.

"Did you say, 'Syracuse?'"

Ernie Banks would have loved it.

My recollection is that Geoff Lopatka scored the winning goal in that play-in game.

Yep, that was the completion of Lopatka's hat trick.

Remember, Clarkson swept us at home a few years ago in the second round. I'd start praying to the hockey gods!

It wasn't a sweep (but Cornell did lose the series).

yeah that was not fun to be at

<denial> I don't know what you guys are talking about. that playoff series never happened... no way no how. it just never happened </denail>

There was no season that year. Only the Everblades Tournament. Anything else has been fabricated by RichS.

exactly. so nice to know there are others with the same thoughts as me

As a long lost Whalers fan, I have to say, if any team wants to take on brass bonanza as the banner of Connecticut hockey, I can't object to it being UConn.

Agreed.

I guess, in some respects, that I am too much of a traditionalist. I will always associate "Brass Bonanza" with The Whalers and many happy childhood memories. It just seems weird to have it played by another group, even in the context of a hockey game in the state of CT. But in the grand scheme (i.e. not in my warped world ) it isn't such a big deal and if it brings the UCONN hockey team a little bit of good hockey karma (they did win last night), so be it.

I think that is pretty cool. I have that song in my head often when I skate.

Even though I have been to the ECAC's often, I have only been to two home playoff games. For some reason I can only remember an 8-3 shellacking of Colgate.

(Thanks for the posts on the Weder chant, by the way, and I am hoping to get tickets for this weekend)

Well, my initial reaction was disapproval too, but I've known they've been doing it for several years, and before long I kinda decided that it's kinda keeping the memory of the Whalers alive in a way, and that I can't object to it being UConn. Although it wouldn't hurt if they actually had a good team. But then again, maybe its more accurate this way

Did you object when the Cornell band played Brass Bonanza at Gary Bettman when he came over to conduct the band in '03?

I have sort of followed the UCONN box scores for the past 4 years, but have not seen them play. They also do not have many of their games broadcast by WHUS, and I did not know they had been using Brass Bonanza, so yeah it did take me by surprise.

Given that UCONN will not give hockey scholarships, they probably will not amount to any more than a .500 team. I understand their rink is really nice (I remember visiting the campus when it was under construction), so they have decent facilities, but without scholarships it will be hard to attract player to a school where they will be ranked behind basketball football and soccer.

Sounds like there are enough "long lost Whaler fans" here to commisserate together . Estero would be somewhat fitting. The Everblades have the Whaler colors (Navy blue and Green), and they are the farm team for "that franchise" in North Carolina.

I missed that. 2003 I was in Oregon and usually couldn't tune into the games until 5 pm PST.

Well, I have a friend that went to UConn and I'd gone to a few game there. Well, alright, as with most of us, I had many friends that went to UConn, but one that was a big hockey fan.

Given that UCONN will not give hockey scholarships, they probably will not amount to any more than a .500 team. I understand their rink is really nice (I remember visiting the campus when it was under construction), so they have decent facilities, but without scholarships it will b[elf.elynah.com] hard to attract player to a school where they will be ranked behind basketball football and soccer.

Well, the rink is alright by Atlantic Hockey standards maybe. Its not really nice. The nickname is the UConn Ice Garage (real name: Ice Arena). Its basically a big aluminum box with a few rows of bleachers on each side. Its definitely an upgrade from the semi-outdoor rink they had during D-2 (or was it D-3?) days. There's nothing wrong with it - in fact is has a nice little lobby area - but I'd take about anything in the ECAC over it.

As far as scholarships, I think they will eventually. But they have too much tied up in the new D-IA football program right now. That and Title IX issues. But this is Ct, which is definitely a hockey state (not like Minn or Mass, but the next step down). And this is UConn, which is half a good state university and half a sports team. I have a hard time seeing them not going after improving the hockey team once their football project has gotten it to the level they'd like it.

I missed that too! Damn, where was I?? Well, I guess I was in section E, and if I heard it, didn't know why. Good going band!
