Trotsky coz Trotsky Interesting they took Stienburg too. Their prospect pool is incredibly thin up front. Not too surprising they signed one of their own draft picks.I thought the article said he was an FA. The article did say that Stienburg was an FA, but he wasn't.by David Harding - Hockey

As a donor, I get regular communications from Cornell rowing. I never received any notice about Chris Kerber’s departure. Given the lack of a prior announcement, I assume he was terminated. It certainly can’t be foby David Harding - Other Sports
Re: Northville-Placid Trail (backpacking/camping recommendation) - 1 year ago
I hiked a couple of sections of the NP Trail and many of the FLT in the mid-1970's. It was a while ago, but I remember more ups and downs on the FLT than NP because FLT was cutting east-west across the north-south valleys while NP tended to follow the valleys. NP felt more remote, with many fewer road crossings, though some campsites were busy back then.by David Harding - John Spencer Is Dead

BearLover It’s a hockey game. We have a chance of beating Denver. We are clear underdogs, but we have a chance. Maybe 2:1 odds? If we beat Denver, then the hardest part is over. Amen. I wasn't terrifically impressed with Denver when I watched Omaha (currently #18) beat them 3-0 in Denver. The next night Denver won 6-3. On the other hand, drop the home game against Union from Cornell'sby David Harding - Hockey

Lot of apartments going up downtown in the vicinity west of North Meadow Street, (i.e. the street Purity, Ithaca Bakery and Joe's are on).

Scersk '97 arugula Have you noticed that we always seem to have small goalies? Watching Shane, he just kind of shrinks into the net. We don’t need a 6’6” keeper like Clarkson, but 6’1” would be good. They claim Shane is 6’0”. Lol. Don't get me started.

Last week our family gathered in Denver for Thanksgiving. Friday evening some of us went to the DU-UNO game Unranked Omaha beat Denver 3-0., so I was feeling a bit optimistic anticipating the MSG game. The DU rink seats about 6000 for hockey. Perhaps due the school being on vacation, I'd guess the stands were about 2/3 full. The place felt dead. I was quite disappointed that there wasby David Harding - Hockey
Re: ECAC Playoff Changes - 1 year ago
upprdeck Its simple math for sure.. Its a couple more possible days in a hotel and food for 30+ people x4. Travel cost is the same. You also have to look at the revenue generated since the league gets the playoff money more than the local school does. just spitball some random numbers, 2K of tickets at say $25 is $5k of income. 30 people is $100 a night for 15 rooms is $1500, food is 30x$1by David Harding - Hockey
