Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: Cornell @ Clarkson on TV - 21 years ago
Do you know of an easy way to find out when games are going to be available in NYC? I was more than a little surprised to see the NCAA games on the Yankee channel (YES). Also, I went to the ESPN Zone to watch the Cornell- Harvard ECAC Final which I believe was on Empire Sports Network. They were able to pick it up presumably off of some satellite. I had to stand next to the control booth behiby nyc94 - Hockey
Hardware - 21 years ago
Not so fast about the quality of the hardware. I bought a Powerbook in February and the paint is coming off the white edge. Judging from the forums on Apple's own website this is a major problem common to Powerbooks manufactured between the end of 2001 and Spring 2002. Apple's response has generally been to blame users for causing the problems such as their aftershave (!) reacting with the paby nyc94 - Hockey
I concede - 21 years ago
You guys have convinced me he made the right choice. But I question calling this a "break". He's already been drafted highly in the NHL which is where he would be going next, presumably. I'll just call this a big honor. So how about I switch the topic to, "Why schedule these tournament games at this time of year?" And why is the Clarkson-SLU weekend scheduled for the firsby nyc94 - Hockey
Re: LeNeveu - 21 years ago
Whoa, I never implied that Schafer should prevent him from going or even ask him not to go. Everything I said was about him choosing to stay with the Cornell team for the last big nonconference game. I just feel that this year could be something really special and I would like to see the whole team out there. As for loyalty between school and country, sure country is the choice to make.by nyc94 - Hockey
Re: LeNeveu - 21 years ago
But what would your law firm do if you had a big trial starting at the end of December and you decided to take off for a month to do pro bono work in another country while leaving a first year associate in charge? I'm thinking they might pack up your office for you. Look, I don't know what the coaches expect of the players in this type of situation. Since this seems to happen all of the time Iby nyc94 - Hockey

Re: Thoughts of BU-CU & Beyond - 21 years ago
I guess we'll disagree on this but maybe I can clarify a little. It doesn't really matter if Dave is "too good" to be playing NCAA hockey. The fact is that he is a member of a college team and he made a commitment to play for that team. Unlike a professional athlete, or even a college football player, Dave gets more out of Cornell than the school gets from him. College hockey does nby nyc94 - Hockey
Re: Thoughts of BU-CU & Beyond - 21 years ago
That's not good. We need to win the Maine game. I guess I have mixed feelings about the players going off to pursue other glory. I would probably be more opposed to it if he was receiving a scholarship but still, he did get a spot at possibly compromised admissions standards. How are we going to feel if he gets injured while playing for Canada? I was in school when Manderville and Ratushny wby nyc94 - Hockey
Re: Thoughts of BU-CU & Beyond - 21 years ago
I think every game is important if we ever hope to crack the top 6 in the polls - something we havn't seen despite the wins against BU and Harvard. It would be nice to get a better NCAA seeding than we have in years past. I really don't feel that the selection committee has any respect for the ECAC so the only way for Cornell to distinguish itself is to win the non-conference games, especiallyby nyc94 - Hockey
