Cornell does not use a name-brand Zamboni, right? (unless they have purchased a new one in the two years since I graduated)by gwm3 - Hockey

Re: Goalie Choice - 20 years ago
I don't really think this is at all like Underhill-Lenveu two years ago. First of all, Underhill was one of the better goalies in the league (if not the country), and had solid experience over three years. Marr, on the other hand, has played in all of four games to this point -- hardly the kind of experience that should earn him any preferential "senior" treatment. It should be a widby gwm3 - Hockey

Re: OT: US News College Rankings - 20 years ago
Cornell will always suffer in the US News rankings because the state colleges accept a somewhat higher percentage of applicants (I think they are also required to maintain a certain percentage from NY). Our size also keeps acceptance rates relatively high. Cornell's greatest asset -- it's ability to do so many things so well -- doesn't really get factored into the rankings. We may not have theby gwm3 - Hockey

Re: Hosting, Small Ice, and Face Shields - 21 years ago
Highly unlikely that a player could sue over an injury sustained during a sporting event. Sports is one of the few places where the "assumption of risk" defense still operates with some force. Suing a helmet or face shield maufacturer is perhaps another story, but the player would have to show that the product was in some way defective (meaning that it did not do something which it waby gwm3 - Hockey

Re: In mourning.... - 21 years ago
Having graduated last year, I feel like this team will be the last group of guys I really "knew." Yes, there will still be some players on the team I watched for a year or two, but it will be hard for me to imagine Cornell without the likes of Bâby, Murray, and the McRaes. I wish it could have ended better for these guys--they were a truly remarkable class who gave me some of myby gwm3 - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs. UNH scores and updates- spoilers inside - 21 years ago
I'm sorry, but this was not the worst effort of the year. One goal loss to UNH is a little better than a one goal loss to Colgate, a 3 goal loss to Dartmouth, or even a 1 goal win over Princeton. It just feels the worst because of how much was riding on it. Post Edited (04-10-03 15:30)by gwm3 - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs. UNH scores and updates- spoilers inside - 21 years ago
You're not helping your case Avash. Not prepared enough? What are you talking about? UNH was the best team we've played all year and, despite a bad stretch in the late 1st and early 2nd periods, we had our chances to beat them. Hockey is a funny sport; whole games can turn on a few minutes or even seconds of play. We definitely had a bad letdown for a while after the no-goal, but I don't seeby gwm3 - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs. UNH scores and updates- spoilers inside - 21 years ago
I hate to blame the officials after a tough loss, but the no goal call may have cost us a chance at the national championship. We came out of the gate looking very strong, got the first goal, and then had all the wind taken out of our sails. This is exactly the kind of thing that instant replay should NOT be used for. How the hell are you supposed to tell definitively if the guy's stick was 4by gwm3 - Hockey
Re: Cornell vs. UNH scores and updates- spoilers inside - 21 years ago
Oh come on, Avash. They completely outplayed UNH for the first 10 minutes and looked really sharp out of the gate. I don't think it is at all fair to say that they have not come to play. We are playing an outstanding team and have gotten some tough breaks.by gwm3 - Hockey
