Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: Cornell Club of Boston/Cornell-Harvard Update - 20 years ago
Why give Harvard the revenue from a pre-game reception after they screwed you (and all of us) over for tickets? Let's just pack into John Harvard's starting in the afternoon and enjoy the pre-game festivities there.by Adam - Hockey
Re: On Penalties... - 20 years ago
But I guess that's my question: is Hornby, a veteran leader of this team, now mature enough to be left to his own devices? Will he step up and make good decisions on his own, without Coach having to ride him every step of the way?by Adam - Hockey
On Penalties... - 20 years ago
Does anyone think that Hornby will try to limit his penalty time this year? For the past few years he's obviously been the enforcer and neccesarily so. However, this year he's more important to the offense than ever before, with the loss of Bâby. et al. Seems like we need him to be on the ice more and in the penalty box less. Thoughts?by Adam - Hockey
Re: Big old Anti-Harvard section - 20 years ago
I think ya gotta do both. Pour it on against the Crimson, but also interject random Big Red cheers. Oh, and make sure to remind them that your section is but a mere taste of what they're in for on January 9th. Also, you might e-mail USCHO with your idea here. They'll probably have little to write about in their ECAC column this early in the season and might give you some press for this.by Adam - Hockey
Re: [OT] ALCS: Red Sox vs Yankees - 20 years ago
It's clear that Pedro has lost some of his stuff this year and he's not built (like Clemens) to be a starter forever. Pedro's contract runs out after 2004, I believe. I'd like to see the Yanks sign him as a closer; an heir apparent to Rivera, who can work in a set up roll until Rivera retires.by Adam - Hockey
Re: [OT] ALCS: Red Sox vs Yankees - 20 years ago
LOL. I'd even support that idea Dan. That would be entertaining. Although I imagine that Grady Little will have to skip the consolation game so that he can make it to his job interviews on time.by Adam - Hockey
Re: [OT] ALCS: Red Sox vs Yankees - 20 years ago
Sure, baseball would be better with more revenue sharing if you believe in boring games and a weakened sport overall. If more revenue sharing occured, teams would likely regress toward the mean. The Brewers would get better and the Yankees would get worse. Do I want teams to be more evenly matched? No; not if it means they will be playing at some AA farm league level. Boring and bland.

Re: [OT] ALCS: Red Sox vs Yankees - 20 years ago
I agree 100% with Rich. Let me also add a few more points: I always laugh at the "Yeah, but the Yankees payroll is so high and that's why they win" line. How then do you explain teams like Texas and even Baltimore? Sure, the Yankees have a lot of money, but they are also smart with it. They don't go and blow it all on one player (A-Rod) and forget about something as important as sby Adam - Hockey
Re: [OT] ALCS: Red Sox vs Yankees - 20 years ago
Awww, has the Red Sox nation sunk to the point of name calling? That's cute. Really it is. Sort of like the Red Sox run this year is admirable and cute. The bastard stepchildren finally get their day in the sun. The perennial losers are now in a position to win for once. But for all this "Cowboy Up" crap, the Sox are in the exact same position as the Yanks.....and the Yanks only hby Adam - Hockey
Re: [OT] ALCS: Red Sox vs Yankees - 20 years ago
Only Red Sox fans think this is the biggest game ever. Sure, it's an important game, but how can it be the biggest game of one's lifetime when it's not even the World Series? Are you saying that this game is actually bigger than Game 6 of the World Series against the Mets?? Or did Buckner just make that too painful a game for you to remember? Don't get me wrong, I'll certainly be watching aby Adam - Hockey

Re: New policy for Cornell at Harvard tickets - 20 years ago
Or did he say anything about the fact that the building is unlocked before, say, 5pm and you can just walk in?by Adam - Hockey
Re: OT: Harvard (Sucks) Chosen ECAC Institution of the Year - 20 years ago
Well, now, here's a question. How many Harvard students know that Harvard is even IN the ECAC? My guess...not many.by Adam - Hockey
Re: Your chance to vote for Cornell - 20 years ago
My favorites are the two votes for Bemidji State and the one for Bentley for national champion.by Adam - Hockey
Re: Umberger Out At Ohio State - 20 years ago
Maybe he plans on joining Maurice's lawsuit and enter the NFL draft.by Adam - Hockey
Re: When do away game tickets go on sale? - 20 years ago
I called the Princeton ticket office today and spoke with a rather confused individual. First he tried to sell me football tickets. Then when I further explained that I was calling about hockey he said, "What's your rush?" Hockey tickets are not on sale there yet, needless to say. Clearly he doesn't understand the mind of a Cornell fan.by Adam - Hockey
Re: In mourning.... - 21 years ago
This won't take long. I think the team is going to be even better next year if Lenny sticks around. Thanks for a fun season. See you in October.by Adam - Hockey
Re: A Good Omen - 21 years ago
Well Dougie went to prep school on Lawwwwng Island.....along with most of the Ag/ILR/Hotel school!by Adam - Hockey
Re: Buffalo Roll Call - 21 years ago
Speaking of pep bands, was anyone else dissapointed that we didn't see the Script Ohio in Providence?by Adam - Hockey
Re: All-Americans announced (2 first team, 1 second team) - 21 years ago
Cornell has faced 5 of those players on the regular season and has/will face at least 7 of them in the playoffs. So much for that weak schedule theory.....by Adam - Hockey
Re: History of the Faithful - 21 years ago
My greatest hockey memory is going over the glass after the 2000 ECAC playoff series with Harvard. That was the last year it was done. On a side note, we went "on to the field" in the spring of 2000 after the lax victory over #1, undefeated, and future national champion Syracuse. I just remember flying over the wall at Schoellkopf and landing in a huge snowbank down below.by Adam - Hockey

It's amazing what the promise of free drinks will do when recruiting a front line public relations staff.by Adam - Hockey

Gathering in DC - 21 years ago
You know the drill by now. The Cornell Club of Washington will gather once again at Fran O'Brien's Sports Bar this Thursday, April 10th, to watch the semi-final match of the Frozen Four. Please join fellow hockey fans to cheer on the Big Red! Location: Fran O'Brien's (Capitol Hilton, 1001 16th Street, NW at the corner of K Street, Farragut North Metro) Time: 11:30am (The game starts at nooby Adam - Hockey

It's time like this that we miss Yo Momma and the Davey Francis tribute threads.by Adam - Hockey
Re: Cheers in Buffalo - 21 years ago
I think a "Gartman opens your door" cheer might be appropriate.by Adam - Hockey
Re: Hobey Hat Trick Finalists to be Announced Today - 21 years ago
Say what you want about the EZAC. Lenny should be the hands down favorite to win. The other two guys have had great years, no doubt. But Lenny has had a rewrite the history books kind of year. And his team is in Buffalo. Post Edited (04-02-03 13:26)by Adam - Hockey
Re: SportsCenter Clip of BC Game Winning Goal - 21 years ago
Maybe it was just my eyes, but it seems that a Cornell player (couldn't tell who, maybe Bâby) was almost offsides on the McRae goal. If you look as McRae takes the puck into the zone, there is a Cornell player dashing to get back across the blue line. I guess hockey is a game of inches. Sorry if this has been covered already. With all the traffic on the board these days it's hard to kby Adam - Hockey
