Re: for those thinking of buying the i2sports feed - 19 years ago
Bill, I find listening to hockey to be essentially worthless. "McKee puts it in the near corner, picked up by McCutcheon. Skates to the blue line, dumps it in the Harvard end. blah blah blah" It's hard to get a very good feel for a game listening to play-by-play like this. Even the ass video i2sports gives us is about one million (give or take) times better than the audio broby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Cornell 2, Harvard 0 - 19 years ago
What is going on with the Harvard coaching? They can't even organize their lines properly after a whistle. And they're supposed to be among the class of the ECAC? Pathetic. Kyleby Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: Cornell Hockey Hats - 19 years ago
Note that they have a list of approved vendors. If Zephyr's not on it, you'll need to find another vendor. It seems likely that Zephyr will be on the "Collegiate Licensing Company" list.

Any word about whether video of Cornell's home games will be available over the internet? I emailed i2sports but have not heard back from them yet. Cheers, Kyleby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Mike Stachurski - 19 years ago
Bill, I can only suggest that those who aren't playing at the varsity level get involved with leagues that are primarily about fun rather than about winning: I was athletically-impaired through age 27, when I started playing hockey for real... but in a local men's league. It's great fun, provides me with lots of exercise, and has given me something serious to look forward to outside of work. Alby Kyle Rose - Hockey

Re: What's with the poor out of conference schedule? - 19 years ago
CU Fan Wrote: Let's remember that Cornell wasn't exactly great last year. Another factor that goes into scheduling out of conference games is that you want to be able to win them. Many of the nation's stronger teams (BC, Maine, etc.) don't like to schedule out of conference games with teams like Michigan, Minnesota, etc. because its damaging to your RPI to lose them.

Re: Schafer - 19 years ago
Sorry, I'm not buying it. First of all, "NHL" does not equal "hockey." NHL is a part of hockey, but (a) it's the most visible hockey league and (b) there are many more leagues, teams, and fans than those that are associated with the NHL. Orders of magnitude. Secondly, counting only "in arena" fans is simply begging the question. I'd be much more inclined toby Kyle Rose - Hockey
Re: Schafer - 19 years ago
I'm talking about the fans, Tub(a). Traditionally, hockey fan demographic has been fairly low-income. This may have changed in the past couple of years, but some parts of the game appeal mainly to rednecks like myself** (e.g., hard body-checking, the occasional fight) who don't have any particular aversion to strong language.

LOL... so I don't go nearly this far, since I think Schafer is actually a very good coach. I just take issue with his zeal in trying to stamp out language and behavior he doesn't like. Hockey is a low-class sport: IMO, just deal with it and let the fans be fans. Cheerby Kyle Rose - Hockey

CUlater 89 Wrote: I disagree if Kyle is saying expansion to these non-traditional cities was a mistake. Your premise is false. My criticism is that the league expanded to too many non-traditional cities simultaneously (where simultaneous is defined by the amount of time it takes to know whether a hockey market can be grown in the city in question).

Re: Tampa Bay wins the cup - 19 years ago
My point is that there are fewer professional-caliber speedy, talented guys relative to the total number of required players. I don't think the league has gone full-bore goon because it's a more-effective game: as you say, TB didn't play that game, and won the Cup. Cheers, Kyleby Kyle Rose - Hockey
