"landmark games" questions

So I was just looking at the landmark games section under "GAMES" on TBRW?, and a couple of things confused me...

1) January 7, 1967: The last home loss before The Streak. The box score of the game, which was against Yale, says New Haven, CT. I imagine that's just a mistake. But my question is, did the Overtime period used to be 10 minutes or something? (Because the GWG in OT was scored at 6:09 of Overtime)

2) January 23, 1971: Ned Harkness' Homecoming. I know he wasn't our coach at that point anymore, so does that just mean it was the first time he came to a home game after coaching us to the perfect season?

1) Yes, unless we were playing a home game at the Whale. Should be fixed in a couple minutes.

1a) Overtimes were 10 minutes until sometime in the late 80's. One of my fondest memories is Dave Shippel scoring at Bright in overtime with 5:55 remaining on the clock.

2) Yep, that's what it means.

Greg,

The link to the 11/25/65 game seems broken. Also, how could 15-0 have been Cornell's biggest shutout when the 1/13/65 game just above it was 19-0? Or did you mean Cornell's biggest shutout vs a DI opponent?

Re 12/30/66. The "?" was probably Bob (i.e. Robert) Ferguson, the non-twin brother of Doug and Dave.

What about 12/1/70, the end of the streak? I'd also put in a vote for 12/4/68, but it probably didn't have 1% as much significance for Cornell as it had for RPI, not that any Cornell loss at the time wasn't significant. It's here already anyway [www.rpihockey.net]

March 2 is significant (or will be) for RPI:

[q]On March...

...2, RPI defeated Princeton 4-1 for their first home sweep vs. Princeton and Yale in 2006.[/q]

Ken,

I noticed that when I posted the link. Nick Markham only assembled that listing a week or two ago and has now fixed that year.

Speaking of "landmark" games, Denver defenseman Keith Magnuson, who assisted on three of the four Pioneer goals to beat us in the 1969 NCAA championship game ("Dryden's last game", was killed in an automobile crash Monday.

He was a great college player, and Denver had a bunch of 'em that year.

G- Dryden shared with Ryan from BU
D- Harry Orr
F- Doug Ferguson and Peter Tufford
MVP(s)- Both above Goalies

The ECAC Tourney at The Gahden by contrast was:

G- Dryden
D- Orr & Stanowski
F- Dave & Doug Ferguson
The only non-CU was Doug Volmar F for Mich. State

Not bad.

Other interesting facts about the tourneys that season were:
1: We did not play BU during that league season
2: BU won the ECAC tourney in NYC and we won the ECAC tourney in Boston right before the Arena showdown
3: The Arena tourney was a round- robin, so 3 games for each team, with our matchup the finale. We each beat Harvard and Northeastern first.
