Re: An early look at 2019-2020 - 5 years ago
Barron would be crazy to leave. IMHO if you don’t dominate at this level you’re not close to nhl ready. Morgan is good but hardly dominant. Yesterday was invisible. If he want to spend two years in the AHL that’s another matter.by arugula - Hockey
Re: Cornell - Providence - 5 years ago
At the Dunk. You know it’s going to be a rough day when the freakin Dinkin Donuts Center has no donuts. Seriously the Red haven’t shown up. Very disappointing. Little zone time sloppy in front of net. Loose with the puck. As above, Austin seems to have forgotten how to control rebounds. At Lynch this would still be a 3-0 game. A real no show so far.by arugula - Hockey

Re: Cornell football 2018 - 5 years ago
Vis a vis the potential trauma to the player's psyches (not to mention bodies) of an Alabama game, I was lucky enough to attend the big game in 1991 between Cornell and Stanford at Stanford Stadium. The Presidents had the idea of a game to celebrate the schools' concurrent 125th and 100th anniversaries, if memory serves. No concern of the mental health damage that future NFL'ers Bob Whitfield,by arugula - Other Sports

billhoward Cornell 2018 football schedule In order to provide a more interesting and competitive end to the Ivy League football season, Penn-Princeton and Cornell-Columbia are now the season-ending games. Translation: The odds of Penn-Princeton having an effect on the championship race is more dramatic than Princeton-Columbia (virtually guaranteed Princeton win) and to a lesser extent Cornell-by arugula - Other Sports
Re: Frozen Apple 2018: Fish & Fowl Edition - 6 years ago
Agreed as to TicketBastard, but why do it at all. Carrying charges. LOL. It's like when banks installed ATMs saying it created convenience for the customer, when it was an excuse to fire the tellers and then add fees to the ATM, so they're making money on both ends. So petty. I'm lucky that I live near MSG and can avoid the feesby arugula - Hockey
Re: Frozen Apple 2018: Fish & Fowl Edition - 6 years ago
The Cornell ticket office is scalping. They seem to have jacked the tickets up at least 10% over face. I'm lucky, I can walk to MSG and buy at the box office and avoid all fees. Disappointing, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.by arugula - Hockey
Re: Frozen Apple 2018: Fish & Fowl Edition - 6 years ago
FWIW, looks like tickets have barely been released either on ticketmaster or at MSG box office, which I’m leaving now. Very little available either in the presale or regular sale. Are the schools holding back for now ?by arugula - Hockey
Re: Radio! - 6 years ago
ugarte getting bent out of shape about "we" is a psychological disorder Don’t think I was bent out of shape but I think it’s more of a mental disorder. Psychological is too fancy. But seriously, I thought it was a fair comment about something that was undermining an otherwise good broadcast. In any event, setting aside the “we” business, I don’t think Hockey Night in Canada will bby arugula - Hockey

Some schools its all about the WE, listen to a ND radio broadcast. the show is being broadcast for the "WE" fans not the avg person so why shouldn't it cater to that? Listen to SU broadcasts. When Turrico/McDounagh? are doing national shows its one sby arugula - Hockey
Re: Radio! - 6 years ago
Last night his role was to be a radio guy. Using we immediately undermines your credibility analyzing the game. Listening on radio puts you in complete reliance on the announcers. If you can’t trust the descriptions why bother listening? I don’t expect complete objectivity but at least a good faith attempt. If they can’t do that, I’d rather hear a student broadcast, because such transparent biby arugula - Hockey
Re: Radio! - 6 years ago
I was there during the Nieuwendyk years so Tim Vanini’s stats don’t particularly impress and aren’t particularly relevant. In any event, I just prefer a less obvious homer for listening. Jason’s a bit of a homer and that’s to be expected from any home town announcer but “we” is a bit much. Phil Rizzuto didn’t even say “we” after 55 years with the Yankees. Small point but I hadn’t noticed beforeby arugula - Hockey

Re: Clarkson @ Cornell 03/10-3/12?/17 - 7 years ago
True. Funny though that the .898 sp that made Dadswell a life saver then, would have him playing in DIII now. Just a completely different game. My senior year, Nieuwendyk averaged two points a game. Crazy.by arugula - Hockey
Re: Clarkson @ Cornell 03/10-3/12?/17 - 7 years ago
Trotsky DafatoneThen again, I haven't seen a single Cornell season without a good goalie (freshman scrivens / Davenport would probably be the low point), so it's hard to compare.The Edmands/Fawcett years were indeed a sight to behold. Edmands/Fawcett. I started throwing up at the mention. Different world then. As great as Dadswell was, he routinely allowed 3-4 goals. Of course Edmands/Fawceby arugula - Hockey
Re: 11/26: Cornell 3 New Hampshire 1 - 7 years ago
I'm a Ranger season ticket holder, so I have seen plenty of late arriving/non arriving crowds at MSG and I must say that was as empty as I have ever seen MSG (been going since the mid 70s). There were entire sections of seats which were empty until people started to spread out a bit. The blue seats were completely empty the entire game. I bought two at the blue line 15 rows up on the day of the gby arugula - Hockey

The NHL schedule was just released and the Rangers are listed as playing at MSG on 11/29 at 7:00 pm. Assume that will be moved to the afternoon.by arugula - Hockey

Bahnstorm Beeeej Very sorry to hear about your friend's untimely passing. I thought you might enjoy knowing that not only did "Section D Tonight" continue after you graduated, but it's still remembered.

After much digging, I found our original template to the original Section D Tonight from Fall 1986--the Army, Princeton, and Harvard games. Will post them later todayby arugula - Hockey

If I recall, Frans had them so I may wait and ask his wife at the appropriate time.

Re: Harvard-Yale @ MSG - 10 years ago
Thanks for that Beej. I didn't know they swapped sides. Looking at those copies, I feel like I need to dig out our copies. We were a bit more ribald, shall we say, as the idea was actually inspired by a rag called Blue Seats Tonite from the old Blue Seats at MSG (also a Ranger season ticket holder).

Re: Harvard-Yale @ MSG - 10 years ago
The new Kingsbridge project in the Bronx (Messier's baby) will bring college hockey to NYC on a smaller scale. The facility will include I believe nine rinks including one which will seat 4-5 thousand. Obviously, not right for Cornell, but a good spot for a revived Columbia club program or some of the smaller college programs near the city. The more hockey in NYC the better.
