Re: LENNY IS #1 !!! - 22 years ago
Thanks to Cam McCormick's "off night" last night (he allowed 3 goals in a tie game), the Big Red's David LeNeveu is -- at least for the moment -- the NUMBER ONE GOALIE IN THE NATION! (The margin is as close as it gets -- 1.45 to 1.46). Let's hope he can hang on to that distinction in the wake of tonight's action! Congrats, Lenny!

Re: New Pep Band CD! - 22 years ago
Sweet Georgia Brown!! Wow, Neil, that sure brings back memories! I remember once (I believe during a time when there were escalating levels of strip-tease bravado on the ice) someone taking the "show" WAY too far and getting himself arrested (yes, unfortunately, it was a guy -- probably the "Skating Bear"!). Crazy daze... (...Oh, and where did you get the "Rock Lobsteby zg88 - Hockey
Re: Saluting the crowd - 22 years ago
I'm not sure to what extent the various Cornell teams influence each other, tradition-wise -- probably not much. In any case, if it's true that the hockey version of the post-game salute really only started as recently as '95-'96, then the icers' tradition is definitely predated by the laxers. The lacrosse team saluted the Cornell section of the crowd at Rutgers after the Big Red lost a one-gby zg88 - Hockey

> ...I think they should use his pic from the cover of the '86 Media Guide. He looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy in a Cornell sweater. ) Greg, I don't know if it's the same picture or not, but I have the '83 media guide -- with what is definitely Schafer as a freshman. It is exactly as you describe! (And it's exactly how I've thought of that picture for the last 19 years!) (Freshmanby zg88 - Hockey
Re: Penalty Killing - 22 years ago
OK, so what IS the correct formula for "combined special teams"?? My somewhat-intellectually-lazy guess: (PP% + PK%)/2 Which, if applied to Josh's admittedly-puzzling brain-teaser, gives: ECAC combined special teams: Cornell: (26.2% + 87.0%)/2 = 56.6% ......RPI: (22.2% + 83.3%)/2 = 52.8% ...And, thus, everything is right with the universe once again... ???

Penalty Killing - 22 years ago
Since the disastrous (1-for-5?) Dartmouth game knocked the Big Red P.K. from the top of the national rankings to about 12th, they have managed to claw their way back to #3! (#2 combined special teams)by zg88 - Hockey

The Big Red netminding duo is responsible for 4 out of the 9 shut-outs in the ECAC so far this season.by zg88 - Hockey

Re: 2/4/02 Polls - 22 years ago
So, the Big Red have something in common with the top 4 teams in the polls -- fewest overall losses (5). (testing edit function): ...Oh, and it sure is sweet to see Cornell one notch higher than B.U.!by zg88 - Hockey
Re: 2/4/02 Polls - 22 years ago
I'm amused by Air Force (6th & last (1-9) in the "C(one-'C'-short-of-a-real-league)HA" getting more votes than Hahvahd in the USCHO poll. Ouch. (I don't get it -- Air Force doesn't have any big wins... just some friends amongst the voters, I guess...) (And, speaking strictly of the ECAC, it's always an eye-opener for us "old-timers" to see Dartmouth ahead of Clarkson.by zg88 - Hockey
