See the M-W Concise Dictionary of Usage or any of like 15 posts on Language Log. Me, I'm more concerned that he highlighted KEY COG for some reason. And now I can't stop saying KEYCOG. KEYCOG!

All penalties called on our opponent are too lenient! All penalties called on us are atrocious! Also I liked "Boy, I wish the Dartmouth fans would tell Scrivens it's all his fault. Because that would be cool."by pat - Hockey

Re: Important message to ice hockey ticket holders - 15 years ago
BeeeejWhen I first started watching Cornell hockey, the PA announcer would mark the end of an unsuccessful Cornell power play with " returns to full strength." The Lynah Faithful would follow that with a loud, synchronized, "And they still suck!" Even when a successful Cornell penalty kill ended, he would announce, "Cornell returns to full strength," and we would fby pat - Hockey

Re: Hocky Tickets 2006/7 - 17 years ago
canuck89.I still say an unannounced quiz on cornell hockey would reward the best fans with better numbers, and it is SAFE. MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. When Cornell is on the power play, I should: a. Get up; now's the time to take a leak without missing anything. b. Cheer loudly and watch the play develop in the attacking zone. c. Yell "SHOOT" every time a Cornell player comes near thby pat - Hockey
Re: Cornell at St. Lawrence post-game thread (2/11/06) - 18 years ago
Jim HylaSorry, but can you rephrase your response. Which rule used to be, and which is current? For the 2003-04 rulebook, they deleted the paragraph which begins, "If, in the opinion of the referee, a player on a sweep or hook-check is unquestionably playing the puck and obtains possession of it..." and added the interpretation which says, "Minor for tripping must be called."by pat - Hockey
Re: Cornell at St. Lawrence post-game thread (2/11/06) - 18 years ago
Dart~BenCowbellGuyMy quote WAS from the NCAA rulebook, not NHL. If that's the case, then the rulebook completely contradicts itself. Wouldn't be the first time. Can I ask what section you got your quote from? I read both the actual tripping rule and the associated interpretation regarding "the diving sweep check" in back, and didn't see anything like what you quoted. They "chanby pat - Hockey

David Hardingjtwcornell91 Your story sounds reminiscent of the legend of Uris Hall's rust, which was supposed to turn appealing colors rather than just ... rusty.That's a true one: *sigh* Uncle Ezra asked the same people that run the tour guides, who have shown remarkable stubbornness in adhering to this myth. Cor-Ten steel isn't supposed to turn pretty colors. It's supposed to rust. Theby pat - Hockey
Re: Quick rules question: checking the hell out of McNulty - 18 years ago
KeithKIt would still be reasonable under NCAA, however, to consider a penalty for contact with a goalie outside of the privileged area who was not in possession and control of the puck....which would be interference regardless of whether the player in question was wearing a goalie pads or not. Technically not necessarily; there's a difference between "possession" and "possessionby pat - Hockey
Re: Quick rules question: checking the hell out of McNulty - 18 years ago
The NCAA interpretations are uncharacteristically explicit about when and where the goalie can cover up the puck: A.R. 1: A goalkeeper leaves the crease and rushes forward to a loose puck inside the privileged area to beat a lone attacking player to the puck. RULING: If the goalkeeper reaches the puck first and falls on it a minor penalty will be assessed. A.R. 2: A goalkeeper dives onby pat - Hockey

Re: Last line change? - 19 years ago
they're just taking wayway too long (more than 10-12 seconds) Under the new fast faceoff guidelines, this is more like 5 seconds. another advantage given to the home team is you get to place your stick down last on face-offs This is only for faceoffs along the center red line. At other locations, the attacking center must place his stick in first.by pat - Hockey
Re: Delay of Game - Hand Pass - 20 years ago
jkahn Wrote: I know you can't close your hand on the puck, but the whistle didn't seem to blow until the other Denver player played the puck. Since it's the penalty situation (thrown puck), it was presumably a delayed whistle until Denver gained possession of the puck. And the line between a batted puck (hand pass) and a thrown puck leans heavily to the blatant side.by pat - Hockey

Re: Craziness in Nanaimo - 20 years ago
The rule is worded the same everywhere, but the USA Hockey interpretation is the opposite of Hockey Canada's. From the USA situation manual, Rule 612, Situation 6: A goalkeeper leaves his crease and rushes forward to a loose puck inside his privileged area, in an attempt to beat a lone attacker who is also skating toward the puck.
