Re: [LAX] Cornell @ Princeton - Big Red strengths & weaknesses - 20 years ago
Most of all, Cornell won and broke an 8-game losing streak against Princeton in the 12-11 OT win here in Princeton. Cornell can make the NCAAs (guaranteed) by winning its last game next week. Also: - It was impressive to see Cornell take the game to a top five team on their own field. - Cornell kept its composure most of the game and never let Princeton get up by more than a goal or two inby billhoward - Hockey

"Effective" means getting the ECAC on TV more than getting money for the league. At first. After production costs, I bet there's not a lot of money to spread around to the league (or the crew).

The main ones are that the nature of the college game has changed, and the career path to the NHL is different. Back in those days, there was only the ECAC and the WCHA, and they played very different games. ECAC play emphasized speed and finesse. The WCHA was more an NHL-style physicalby billhoward - Hockey

It was certainly nice to get standard-def TV coverage of the Cornell-Dartmouth lacrosse game. However: The CSTV logo/score graphic is excessively large and ruins the upper right corner of the screen.

Cornell pre-season rank 2004-2005 - 20 years ago
Cornell has some really big, really good players coming in, and we don't lose many players, nothing like we did last year. But how did Colgate do on recruiting? Harvard? BU? The Western schools? About all that's clear so far is Princeton is not going to be atop the ECAC pre-season poll. So far USCHO is reminiscing about the end of the 2004 season (okay, it's only been over for a week) and notby billhoward - Hockey

Ned's teams of the late 1960's were not only talented but played with a fire that we don't often see today. As much as we all admire and respect Mike Shafer's coaching abilities, he's no Ned Harkness when it comes to motivating his players. Ned's teams simply could not stand losing.by billhoward - Hockey

Cornell fueled growth outside South - 20 years ago
Lacrosse is a growing sport outside the Eastern seaboard. Cornell was a lacrosse powerhouse in the late 1960s under -- zero degrees of separation from Cornell hockey here -- Ned Harkness. But the old boy network always awarded the championship to a southern school: Hopkins, Maryland, NC, Virginia, occasionally Navy took turns. Finally, and perhaps about 3 years too late for Cornell to haby billhoward - Hockey

Re: Delay of Game - Hand Pass - 20 years ago
There almost appeared to be two motions - grabbing / grasping / enclosing the puck with the glove and then throwing, not merely batting, the puck. It was not a smart move - from my point of view sitting on a sofa with a beer in my hand, not actually being the player out on the ice - and so obvious it would have been hard not to call.by billhoward - Hockey
