Iggulden AHL jersey auction - 16 years ago
For any Mike Iggulden fans out there, his AHL All-Star warmup jersey is up for auction here: http://auctions.nhl.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/User?id=meiNHL&wl=12717464&type=A Honestly, I think it's kinda random to be auctioning off an All-Star warmup jersey, but he is a former Cornellian that's doing well.by dsr11 - Hockey
Re: Cornell-Quinnipiac Tickets @QU available now - 16 years ago
According to my brother, who's a grad student at QU, sections 113 to 116 are also usually pretty full of visiting fans. There's not much left in 113, 114, or 115, though there a few seats scattered around. The new rink has real seats too, no more benches like most rinks have.by dsr11 - Hockey
Cornell-Quinnipiac Tickets @QU available now - 16 years ago
For those interested in attending the game at Quinnipiac on Feb 22, 2008, tickets are on sale through the QU box office or online and going quickly. I was able to get a pair, but they certainly aren't the best seats in the house (I'm in section 116). They are in the new rink this year, no more barn in Northford!by dsr11 - Hockey
Re: Jersey - 17 years ago
I agree. The jersey cut isn't awful, but the whole solid color thing (lack of horizontal stripes) is pretty bad. The vertical stripes are just weird, lets hope they don't go with vertical strips on the socks like they had in the Olympics! They really need more contrasting colors though, without much white, it just looks bad. It's also pretty bad that the Nike Swoosh is almost the same sizby dsr11 - Hockey
Re: Cornell 2 @ Quinnipiac 5 Post Game Thread - 17 years ago
I don't follow CU Hockey nearly as closely as I used to, but I did get to the QU game this past weekend. My thoughts? Davenport did not play well. In fact, he was outright awful. Every shot, he was always looking behind him, like he knew the puck was going to get by. Now, I know the lighting was dimmer, the ceiling was silver, but those are just excuses. He needs more confidence. He doesnby dsr11 - Hockey
Re: Quinnipiac roll call - 17 years ago
Yes, it's all GA at this rink. My brother goes to Quinnipiac. There won't be many QU students at this game, they have to be off campus for Thanksgiving break at some point on Saturday during the day. So if we get a good CU turnout, we should be able to make this a home game ! Btw, my brother also told me that hockey games rarely sell out, so I'm guessing tickets are still available throughby dsr11 - Hockey
Re: NYC viewing? - 18 years ago
What's wrong with the Red Sox? And Jersey (ok, there is a LOT wrong with Jersey). I guess I'm just doubly screwed, I'm a Sox fan LIVING in New Jersey (it's only temporary, thankfully!). I fully encourage supporting Red Sox bars in NYC, I'm tired of watching games in NYC with a bunch of drunken, idiotic Yankees fans.by dsr11 - Hockey

Re: Dave McKee featured on cnnsi.com - 18 years ago
Here is the article (minus a graphic about Cornell goalies): The raucous Lynah Faithful support Cornell's hockey team in 3,836-seat Lynah Rink with some timeworn traditions, including throwing fish on the ice and silently reading newspapers while opposing players are being introduced before games. More recently the Faithful have added a new rite: crooning Deep in the Heart of Texas to serenadeby dsr11 - Hockey

Re: Ticket Procedure Released - 18 years ago
You know, back in the late 90s (or early 2000s, I can't remember), Dave Matthews played at Cornell. Everyone knew tickets would be tough to get (he played at Bailey). Some people with inside information got news from the Cornell Concert folks that tickets would go onsale at a given date and time and location for ticket sales (the fieldhouse, btw). No lineup information, no hokey announcements,by dsr11 - Hockey

Re: Grade Inflation - 18 years ago
I'm getting an MBA at NYU Stern right now, and you really have to work to get less than a B. The one exception is any Finance class, but even then, only the bottom 15% of the class gets less than a B-. For everything else, if you hand in papers and show up for exams, you will get a B. If you answer questions on the exams and put a little effort into the papers, you'll get a B+. If you suck upby dsr11 - Hockey
Re: [OT] VoIP experiences anyone? - 19 years ago
I've had Vonage for about 6 months, works great, as long as the Internet is up (too many random problems there to talk about). I have the 24.99 plan, it's great. If you do with Vonage, you should ask someone here that is a Vonage customer about referrals. I think you'd get some service credit, and so do the existing customers (don't quote me on that one, I haven't really looked into it). Theby dsr11 - Hockey

BU's new rink - 19 years ago
While there has been a lot of discussion here about a new Lynah, BU's new barn opened last night. Here is an article from the Boston Globe, looks like a pretty sweet rink. I'm sure there is more info somewhere on the web, but I'll leave the googling as an exercise to the readerby dsr11 - Hockey
Re: If the Sox can do it, how about Cornell? - 19 years ago
Speaking of the Yankees having a heart, here's a good quote about Steinbrenner's boys this year: The money is limitless, but what did it get Steinbrenner in 2004? For $184 million, the Yankees became the equivalent of a '70s-era gas guzzler -- huge and loud and impossible to ignore. But step on the pedal, as the Yankees did in Game 7, and there was nothing under the hood.by dsr11 - Hockey
Re: Beer idea - 20 years ago
Lone star is one of the nastiest beers ever made, right up there with Bud Light . I agree, get Shiner Bock. I used to live in Texas, Shiner is one of the best regional beers I've ever had. WAY WAY WAY better than Lone Star....I mean Lone Star is what you give someone as a way to torture them (I believe cruel and unusual punishment is the correct term). Shiner Bock is brewed in Texas, it'by dsr11 - Hockey
Joe Exter - 20 years ago
Exter, the Merrimack goalie who was involved in the collision with Patrick Eaves last year, got a nice little write up in SI this week (Scorecard, March 29). While the stats in the article may be a little dated, he's play for the ECHL Wheeling Nailers and had a 7-1-1 record with a 2.20 GAA at the time of printing. They said if plays in 2 more games, the Penguins AHL affialite in Wilkes-Barre, Pby dsr11 - Hockey
Re: Lax: Cornell - Yale postponed - 20 years ago
From the athletics website: March 27, 2004 ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Cornell men's lacrosse game with Yale has been postponed due to heavy fog in the Ithaca area. It will instead by played on Sunday, March 28 at noon on Schoellkopf Field. The game will be the Ivy opener for the Big Red (3-1), while Yale sports a perfect 4-0 record, including 1-0 in Ancient Eight play. Hopefully this was publby dsr11 - Hockey
Re: New Arena for Cornell - 20 years ago
A real college hockey arena HAS to have bench seating. I've been to Tsongas Arena (where UMass Lowell plays) and Merrimack College's home rink (and Lynah of course), and there is something weird about big comfy seats for college hockey. Tsongas has seats, it's a relatively new rink, while the rink at Merrimack, at least time I was there, had character and benches like Lynah (though nowhere nearby dsr11 - Hockey
Re: A few words about Facetimer - 20 years ago
Hey, so I'm not gonna defend Mr. FT here, but did post some arguments and back them up with reasons (whether thought out or not, they were valid points to make on an open discussion forum). However, he/she also attacked people on the board, and the personal attacks are what FT will be most remmebered (and hated) for. I'm glad to see him and his bs gone.by dsr11 - Hockey

Re: USCHO poll, 2/2/04 - 20 years ago
Come on. While i'm not looking to start any fights here, Cornell is not a top 15 team, at least not now. We all know it. This is a rebuilding year, unless they come through and pull something out down the stretch and make some noise at the ECAC tourney, they probably won't finish in the top 15 this year. But I'm always optimistic and will be rooting them onby dsr11 - Hockey

Re: LeNeveu Fought Tonight - 20 years ago
Ian Burt took a few shots on opposing players whenever he played. There was a full scale brawl where Burt and Leeor Shtrom of Union fought each other. Everyone on the ice at the time, all 12 players, got kicked out. There was only a minute or 2 left in the game, so it didn't matter too much. Thats what the Burt and Strohm mentions above are referring to anyway.by dsr11 - Hockey
