Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: Lacrosse-Rob Pannell Status - 11 years ago
It's probably too late for him to take an incomplete. Finals are over. If he hadn't already made the decision not to graduate before finals, I think he has to graduate.by jtn27 - Other Sports

They're the defending champs and made it to the Frozen Four. They've earned the right to be considered at the top of the league, at least on a year to year basis.by jtn27 - Hockey

Aaron M. Griffin Penn State announced its first NCAA Division I schedule today. The Nittany Lions will be visiting our friends in Schenectady the weekend after Thanksgiving. That's a nice cupcake game for Union the same weekend we face Michigan.by jtn27 - Hockey
Re: Cornell Alumni in the Pros: May 2012 - 12 years ago
jtn27 Are there any Cornellians left in the NHL playoffs (even bench warmers)? I'm not aware of any. I looked it up. The answer is no.by jtn27 - Hockey

Re: Shot clock for college lacrosse - 12 years ago
I'm not sure whether it would help Cornell or not, but a shot clock does sound like it would make the game more interesting. If they do institute it, it should just be a simple 60 second shot clock, not a third second one that starts after a stall warning (which was one of the possibilities mentioned in the article).by jtn27 - Other Sports

Josh '99 ugarte billhoward Josh '99"Hulking skater with serviceable mobility" is my favorite-ever euphemism for "he's pretty slow". Nice deconstruction. I think that deconstructs it too much. I'd say "he's as fast as he needs to be." You know, like Prince Fielder."as fast as he needs to be" is the nicest way I've ever heard anyone describe Prince Fielder'sby jtn27 - Hockey
Re: Cornell baseball no-hitter - 12 years ago
RichH jtn27 A few months ago if told that either the lacrosse team or the baseball team but not both would make the NCAA Tournament, I think everyone would have guessed the lacrosse team. What crazy person would ever walk up and tell you that? It was one of the people that wander around the Ithaca Commons at 2 a.m.by jtn27 - Other Sports
Re: Lacrosse May 2012 - 12 years ago
billhoward I assume we won't use Saturday for a makeup game at Hobart. Making up the Hobart game to end the season might be the only way to make the end of the season even more depressing than it is now.by jtn27 - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio Fifty years ago Quinnipiac was a small commuter school offering little but a business curriculum with not much of a reputation (started life in the 1920s as Connecticut College of Commerce and subsequently changed its name to Junior College of Commerce). It actually shut down during World War II. In the 1950s when I was growing up in New Haven its teams were part of the NAIA, if anyby jtn27 - Hockey

Aaron M. Griffin jtn27 Yes, why not Lynah? They should hold it at the site of the highest seed, as long as that arena has a predetermined minimum number of seats. If the 1 seed doesn't have a big enough arena, then have it at the highest seed that does. If no arena has enough seats (How likely is this? What is the seating of each ECAC hockey rink?) then hold it at a neutral site (Lynah). Houstoby jtn27 - Hockey

Re: Generic Off Season Thread - 12 years ago
Jim Hyla CAS Remember the Barclay and Pru Centers each have only 1 tenant next year. Izod has zero. You think an ECAC tourney in the NY metro area, with Cornell involved, will draw fewer than 5-6K? If fewer than half the Cornell fans for Red Hot Hockey attend, and none from the other 3 schools, attendance would be higher. The games should be played where the fans are! Lynah!

redice I will say this, LP is the only ECAC tournament location where I can recall a constant drone of statements that it's a "WONDERFUL PLACE TO HOLD THIS TOURNAMENT" from the media and the league officials.
