From the Yale Daily News:
Francis LaPierre isn't a woman. He's the captain of the Cornell Hockey team. -- Erich Segal's Love Story
The Bulldogs (6-13-2, 5-7-2 ECAC), who are currently in a three-way tie for seventh in the ECAC, will be without winger Nick Deschenes '03 and defenseman Bryan Freeman '04 this weekend against Colgate (10-13-1, 7-6-1 ECAC) and Cornell (15-5-1, 11-2-1 ECAC).
"[The Bulldogs] have a lot of talent and move the puck well," Colgate head coach Don Vaughan said. "We're going to have to find a way to slow them down in transition."
Without Deschenes and Freeman, Vaughan may not have as hard of a time as he thinks stifling the Elis in transition. Deschenes, who is out for four to six weeks with a deep cut in his thigh, led the team in assists before last weekend's contests, and was a regular fixture on the power play unit. Freeman, who aggravated his high ankle sprain in the game against Clarkson, is one of the faster skaters on the team.
"They give us a lot of offense, and we can't just look to one guy to replace all of it," winger Nathan Murphy '04 said. "Everyone is going to have to chip in."
Although the Big Red sit atop the ECAC with 23 points, they are not taking this weekend's contest lightly.
"We feel there's some business that hasn't been finished with Yale," Cornell head coach Mike Schafer said. "That 1-1 tie was very disappointing for us."

any word on whether stathos has been checking out elynah this year? apparently the hockey.cornell statistics page doesn't show all the domains that have visited..
what was that chant made up last year after we caught dstathos.student.princeton.edu (or something or other) surfing elynah? maybe it should be resurrected for the game if he's in net...

In other words, "That 1-1 tie really pissed us off. We're going to plaster Yale all over Lynah on Saturday, then take their women and children."

Oh man. Too funny. He's been visiting quite a bit in the last week, including here, and (hee) including searching for "stathos" and "princeton" in eLF.

Beeeej -
Didn't you already take a Yale woman? As I recall, you threw her back.
The last two times we played a team missing important players were at Harvard and vs Ohio State (both losses). The rest of a team tends to get up for that sort of thing.

Ah yes, the Ewing theory. It worked for the Pats... Too bad it never worked for the Knicks.

Josh, were you reading the Sports Guy before he joined ESPN? (I enjoy finding fellow BSG fans from his old Digital City days.)

Nope, I hadn't heard of him before ESPN... but I love his columns, and I'm a big fan of the Ewing Theory.

Heh... yes, she's a Yale PhD but did undergrad at Cornell. And I think we sort of threw each other back. :-{)} However, for reasons best left undiscussed here, she'll never again accompany me to a Cornell athletic event.
