Re: New Arena for Cornell - 20 years ago
Before I post, it's interesting to note that the email address entered by this thread's starter matches the one used by someone who is at least connected to our least-favorite fellow poster (see link). This smacks along the lines of "Schafer Should Resign" and "Pep Band Should Not Travel." Note emails of several offensive posters in this thread: Anyway, I'll now commenby rhovorka - Hockey

Re: Dave McKee vs. Yann Danis - 20 years ago
In another fun little slight guaranteed to get some blood boiling here, INCH listed their top picks for goaltender of the year. Danis is #1, Silverthorn is #5, and McKee is lumped in a bubble category.by rhovorka - Hockey

Re: Panoramic Photos of a Full Lynah? - 20 years ago
I'll post the 2 photos I mentioned earlier in this thread. Oddly enough, it seems that Clarkson is our preferred opponent for rink photography. This one appeared in an issue of Cornell Alumni Magazine over a year ago. It was probably taken in the mid-90s, judging by the presence of the old cloth banners and the few ads that are on the boards. The photo is credited to Chris Hildreth/UP. Thisby rhovorka - Hockey
Re: Mulling over the TBRW Awards - 20 years ago
+ Peter Natyshak Award, Career Improvement - Tough award. I'm going to say Greg Hornby just from his transition from being an "unguided missle" his freshman year to being a "guided missle." His relentless hitting added an entertaining dimension to this team early in his career, but he developed into someone we can trust handling the puck, and someone we can count on for all-by rhovorka - Hockey

Jason N '95 wrote: As an opinion piece, it's pretty good (except for my big gripe below), as a news piece it comes across as somewhat "one-sided". Well, I first read it as an "interview piece," which doesn't necessarily have to fall in either category (then again, I've never been a journalism major, so I may be wrong). It's up to the writer as to how much external commentarby rhovorka - Hockey
Re: Morris article - 20 years ago
OK, I retract the phrase "one-sided" because an attack on Morris isn't what I meant at all. I hastily grabbed that phrase to mean (in the context of my sentence) that the Crimson writer seemed to assume that the Harvard community already had a good understanding of the complexity of the incidents involving Morris. I didn't think the 2 sentences provided were sufficient to that end. Aby rhovorka - Hockey

An interesting article on former Clarkson coach Mark Morris is on The Crimson's website: Seems to be a bit one-sided, but for those of us who wondered where he went, it's a good read.by rhovorka - Hockey
Re: Panoramic Photos of a Full Lynah? - 20 years ago
If one were commercially available, I'm sure we'd all have one by now. There was a great photo that they used for the front of the hockey pocket schedule about 9-10 years ago, back when CU Athletics used to actually make them. It was taken during warmups of a Cornell-Clarkson game from the top of the aisle between G and H, and used a long exposure so the players are blurred. Also, last year,by rhovorka - Hockey

Only problem he had was a vision defect that was caught and treated after his freshman season and then the big numbers followed. OK, call him a "late exploder" if you want, given that he tallied 75% of those 197 points in his final 2 years. He certainly wasn't very feaby rhovorka - Hockey

Re: Dave McKee vs. Yann Danis - 20 years ago
Good analysis, Tom. I edited my above post to include the stats of the top 4 goaltenders that year (Walsh and Marsters in addition to Jonas and Underhill). Interestingly, there was 1 of each class (F, So, Jr, Sr). Clarkson and Cornell clearly had the advantage of much stronger team defense over RPI and Harvard. To Underhill's credit, his W-L record was in spite of having an offense that wasby rhovorka - Hockey

Re: The race for first - 20 years ago
'95-'96 was a fantastic horse race. There were 5 teams that just wouldn't lose down the stretch. UVM, Clarkson, SLU, Cornell, and Colgate. And the last weekend was CU/CU @ CU/SLU. Cornell lost to Clarkson in OT on Friday to snap a 10-game unbeaten streak in a great "unstoppable force" vs. "immovable object" game. The final game of the season at SLU was an incredible finisby rhovorka - Hockey

Ah the mythical "sniper" that we've all dreamed about at one point or another. The truth is: it isn't going to happen. Anyone who is an honest-to-goodness end-to-end, jaw-dropping sniper are probably headed to the Juniors for maximum scouting exposure, or also being persued by every large scholarship school.
