Re: CU vs. Denver - 11 years ago
I agree with Keith. DU's shots in game 2 were just not the in-close, quality shots of game 1, they were often outside the faceoff circles. So the SOGs were very misleading. My wife, who was seeing her first-ever hockey game on Saturday, did think that Cornell lacked the skills of the players on the DU team. It's nice to get a perspective of someone who isn't hopelessly biased. Eventuallby captens1 - Hockey
Re: CU vs. Denver - 11 years ago
Well, as to the hockey games ... I was at both games in the Cornell alum section, which was behind the nets. I'm hoarse like the old days in section B. My summary of game 1: we got beat at a kinda dump and chase style. Denver seemed to be saying "ok, you wanna play that dull, we will too. They made the best of their opportunities, we did not. Passes were consistently two feet off wby captens1 - Hockey
Re: Season Review - 12 years ago
For this now-Coloradan, it was a pleasure to see our Big Red live in the Springs this year, a Saturday game where they totally outclassed the (then highly ranked) local boys. Come back soon (preferably to visit DU). And seeing them beat Michigan was wonderful. Thanks, seniors, for four years of quality Cornell hockey, and for the underclassmen, we look forward to 2012-2013. Let's go Red!by captens1 - Hockey

Re: CU-CC 3-3 - 12 years ago
Regarding the noisiness of the Faithful, we did have the advantage that one of our sections was right under the announcer's booth. To be fair, were they announcing from across the arena, we probably wouldn't have sounded like much. I certainly didn't see Ferlin do anything that deserved the 10 minutes, so I concur that he must have mouthed off. Actually, I'd have to say the reffing was muchby captens1 - Hockey
Re: CU-CC 3-3 - 12 years ago
Hi all, Reactions from someone who was at the game, but who hasn't seen much of Cornell since '97 or so when I left. First, thank-you-Schafer for finally getting CU to come to Colorado again. There were ~250 of us alums up in the nosebleed seats of the arena hungry for our Cornell hockey again. We couldn't out-noise the piped-in NBAish crap music, but we could out-noise the CC fanbase.

Re: Jersey Mockups - 12 years ago
Here's my skeptical bear. Perhaps Reacharound Bear is so ubiquitous that newer folks don't know what we're talking about when we talk about Skeptical Bear.by captens1 - Hockey

Re: Jersey Mockups - 12 years ago
I still mourn the changeover from skeptical bear to huggy bear. Skeptical seems so much more appropriate for an academic institution.by captens1 - Hockey
Re: Cornell-Yale postgame - 12 years ago
Trotsky jtwcornell91 Trotsky Fun fact of the night: IINM, the last time we scored 6+ goals against a team in the top 10 was over 12 years ago. Wasn't Colorado College in the top ten when we lost to them in that 11-0 Denver Cup debacle in 1995? I seem to recall that Denver gave them their first loss of the season the following night.Very likely. I have solid numbers on the rankings of our oppoby captens1 - Hockey
Suggested cheer: Mr Cellophane - 19 years ago
Saw the movie "Chicago" again recently and I thought one of the songs would be wonderful to add to the Lynah repetoire, with a little change. I'm thinking of the song "Mr Cellophane" with lyrics (modifying the pronoun) that go like "Cellophane, Mr Cellophane, shoulda been his name, Mr Cellophane. 'Cause you can look right through him And walk right by him And neveby captens1 - Hockey
Re: The Slytherin Faithful - 20 years ago
I dunno, but I could see the Faithful singing "He always lets the Quaffle in" ... I like the obscurity of it, like "We want Weder!"by captens1 - Hockey
Re: CORNELL FROZEN FOUR TICKETS -- OFFICIAL RELEASE - 21 years ago
I've tried to find out the Cornell section by calling the HSBC arena ticket office (no luck) and I've e-mailed the Cornell ticket office and asked if they knew to please post the information here. So, hopefully we'll know soon. LGR!by captens1 - Hockey

Re: hockey only conference - 21 years ago
Well, I like Adam's idea. Anything to boost the quality of hockey (short of scholarships). What shall we name our new conference? The Yankee conference? The Adirondack Conference? How about Cornell and Safety Schools Conference? Maybe others can submit names and Age should have a poll ...by captens1 - Hockey
Re: Ryan O'Byrne - 21 years ago
Well, Ryan, if you're reading, thanks for making a wise decision! We'll look forward to seeing you contribute to the Big Red. And tell your other studly friends what a great place Cornell is to play hockey.by captens1 - Hockey
Re: Schafer Now Second-Reddest Coach - 21 years ago
For those of us who don't recall all the hire/end dates of the coaches, maybe a vertical line between years separating the coaches would be nice to help indicate their reigns. I don't recall exactly when Reycroft left, for example. Tomby captens1 - Hockey
Re: Schafer Now Second-Reddest Coach - 21 years ago
Greg, I'm not getting it. Quote: "For each season (column), after each number of conference games played (row), Cornell's number of points over or under .500 in conference games (cell contents). E.g., after 18 games in the 2001 season, Cornell was +5 points (10-5-3)." Two questions: Why are the cell contents in the table actually 23? And in your calculations above, I assume that aby captens1 - Hockey
