Re: 2020-02-21: Cornell at Yale - 3 years ago
I attempted to take a couple of screen captures of the zone entry that was ruled offside. I'm guessing the ref and linesman that reviewed the play could actually see the puck. We can't, but we can kind of infer where it is, and based on that the entry definitely felt offside.by andyw2100 - Hockey
Re: Incoming Recruits - 3 years ago
ugarte 20 years later and it looks like getting Kanji ice time on senior night is an improvement to the policy Kanji was one of the incorrect answers to one of the scoreboard quiz questions last week. I'm not certain, but I think the question may have been who was the last player to wear the number 1 before it was retired.by andyw2100 - Hockey
Re: 2020-02-14: Cornell 5 Union 2 - 3 years ago
upprdeck he had 6 PP not like they swallowed the whistle. Both Bennett and the Union goalie seemed upset about stuff that happened around the Union goal. I noticed it during the game, and then today I watched the ESPN feed during and after Union's third no-goal. When the ref skated over to the Union bench, presumably to explain why they were overturning the goal, you can see Bennett animatedlyby andyw2100 - Hockey
Re: 2020-02-14: Cornell 5 Union 2 - 3 years ago
By the way, did anyone else see Bennett's interactions with the officials after the game? He was yelling in their direction and giving them an obviously sarcastic "thumbs-up." He did this at least twice. That would seem to me to be the kind of thing the league may not look kindly upon.by andyw2100 - Hockey
Re: 2020-02-14: Cornell 5 Union 2 - 3 years ago
Jim Hyla Look at the replay around the 2 minute mark. Rinaldi interferes with Galajda before the initial shot. He appears to catch the right skate/leg of Galajda, knocking him to his knees. That does not allow him to quickly get to his right to make the save on the rebound. Good call and I wonder who from CU saw it. I could have missed it, but I didn't notice anyone on the Cornell bench askinby andyw2100 - Hockey

Jim Hyla andyw2100 Trotsky I had no idea the boosters still did a bus. I'm not sure that the CHA has been doing the bus trip every year. I know the past couple of years we've just driven, but that could be because we were starting out in Syracuse, not Ithaca. They try and do a bus every year. It depends if they get enough sign-ups. Sometimes they bring the band. Years ago you could plan oby andyw2100 - Hockey

Trotsky I hope everyone is home, safe, and warm. How is the weather up there today? Is anyone planning to make the trip to Hamilton? Flurries and the roads are fine. We drove to Ithaca from Syracuse this morning, and will be heading to Hamilton on the CHA bus this afternoon.by andyw2100 - Hockey

ACM andyw2100 upprdeck colgate comes to ithaca, drives home, then back to ithaca then home again. that same trip 4 times in one weekend will suck Probably still less driving than most away weekends though. You are basing all of these comments on the mistaken assumption that the visiting team in the Cornell-Colgate series travels on Thursday and stays overnight in the home team's region.

Re: Perfection Returns to Lynah - 3 years ago
SwampyI'm really glad to learn Dan's family is here for the celebration. Maybe something is planned to honor his memory that we don't know about, and I will be pleasantly surprised tonight. During the ceremony for the 1970 team between the first and second periods there was a special tribute to Dan Lodboa, which included a moment of silence.by andyw2100 - Hockey

Re: Visiting Lynah guide - 3 years ago
Weder Sweet Melissa's is also very good. (As is Cayuga Lake Creamery if you have time to get up to Interlaken.) There is now a Cayuga Lake Creamery store in the Dewitt Mall in downtown Ithaca. I believe a single scoop cone is about $5. The ice cream is good, but not $5 per scoop good (at least in my opinion.)by andyw2100 - Hockey
Re: Visiting Lynah guide - 3 years ago
KenP How is Purity as compared to the Dairy Bar? I like the ice cream at both Purity and The Dairy Bar. I think the Dairy Bar ice cream is a bit richer and creamier. Oddly, though, I don't think that is true of the Dairy Bar chocolate and chocolate varieties. I generally will order some variety of chocolate when ordering ice cream (Chocolate Bittersweet at Purity) but now won't order any varietby andyw2100 - Hockey

Re: Polls 2019-20 - 3 years ago
Trotsky This is the first time we have successfully defended the poll pole position since I've been tracking polls, and I assume since 72 or perhaps 73.

Re: Fortress Invitational - 3 years ago
cu155 Looks like debate over shady Flowrestling subscription tactics is leaking to elynah ....they could make it easier to cancel. I posted at the time I did this, to try to help others, but I canceled literally within a minute of when I bought the subscription. I knew I didn't need it beyond the month, and canceling at purchase time still gave me the month, of course. Edit: My post from earby andyw2100 - Hockey

CU2007 ACM I can deal with a guy who can't keep up with the play. I have a problem with a guy who doesn't read the line chart or the pronunciation guide properly. I mean, they teach reading in what, the second grade these days? Personally I’m enjoying watching Driven and Ragoosh I'm just upset to learn that Galajda is a senior.by andyw2100 - Hockey

Re: Penalty Kill Woes - 3 years ago
I have no data to support the following, as it's just a feeling based on having watched the games, but it seems to me that there have been a lot fewer overlapping penalties than normal. The result of that is that our kill percentage is not being inflated as it usually is by successfully killing a twenty or thirty second penalty. And of course there are the recent five minute major penalties asby andyw2100 - Hockey

Swampy But once I realized it, I also realized I’d have to FF to search for the OSU/Cornell game. While doing so, about midway through and almost an hour before the game, one can hear two commentators discussing what “a pain in the ass” it is to live adjacent to a golf course and how golfers would get pissed when the commentators’ dogs barked.

Re: Fortress Invitational - 3 years ago
I also just purchased a month of Flo access. I then immediately looked for a way to prevent the next monthly charge. The way to accomplish this is to cancel your subscription. On the last screen before cancellation it warns that you will lose access after February 3, which is fine. (I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't lose access immediately.) There's no reason not to cancel immediately. Ifby andyw2100 - Hockey
