Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 7 weeks ago
Rewatching the game, that third period was a masterpiece defensively.by arugula - Hockey
Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 7 weeks ago
I’ve had this happen several times during the season. I’d get it synched and the hcu link would go nuts. I’d love to just hear some clips of Jason’s goal calls.by arugula - Hockey
Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 7 weeks ago
I wish the radio stream wasn’t delayed as I’d like to watch live and hear Jason.by arugula - Hockey
Re: NCAA Tournament 2024 - 7 weeks ago
pjd8 arugula Alaska Arizona State earlier this month. A full on brawl. I saw that box. More penalty minutes than the Cornell-Union game that included the height of stupidity established by Leeor Shtrom (And then- And THEN- ). The video is astonishing. Disgraceful.by arugula - Hockey
Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 7 weeks ago
Their job is simple. Accurately describe who the players are. Don’t say smith if it’s Jones. That’s not that hard and you don’t need to have seen Maine play. Bob Sheppard who was the Yankee Stadium public address announcer until age 99 was remarkably unobtrusive and had three simple rules: (in stentorian tones) “be clear, concise, correct”. When a new player joined the team he personally weby arugula - Hockey

The sheet may have been wrong, but they could've actually paid attention to the ice.by arugula - Hockey
Re: Men's lax Cornell at Penn 3/30/2024 - 7 weeks ago
It's a relief to get through Yale and Princeton. Penn seems to be the last of the upper echelon Ivy teams. But the sloppiness on D can really bite you against even lesser teamsby arugula - Other Sports
Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 7 weeks ago
Watching the recording of the game. Ten minutes in, they’re still identifying the Maine goalie as the other guy who was sick. Amazing. Anyone know whether there are any clips of Jason’s call floating around?by arugula - Hockey

Anyone interested in two for tomorrow at face-45. . Section 13, L 7 and 8.by arugula - Hockey
Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 7 weeks ago
Umass controlled the latter part of the game clearly. Denver can be slowed and ground down. I was at the old DU Arena in 1986 where we lost the two game total goal quarter final 8-7. Had we not given up the lead, we would have had a national semifinal against Harvard-Nieuwendyk v. Fusco. Imagine that. As a result of this trauma, I will forever hate Denver(the University, not the city, have seveby arugula - Hockey

Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 7 weeks ago
Actually not convinced that they are selling. If you look at the venue site, all the available tickets are in two sections. The suggests that they're holding back. A refund for Saturday isn't helpful. I can't go Saturday but I want them to be playing. IIRC Albany 2010 was a foursome of Cornell, RIT, and UNH--all local ish and national power Denver. Empty.by arugula - Hockey
Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 7 weeks ago
Any thoughts about tickets? Goi g through the venue-the seating chart is offering g hardly anything and every time I check, the sections change. The Cornell link requires buying both games. I can’t make Saturday. Any idea what’s going on with the venue?or if the package requirement will go away? I just recall regionals in Albany which were empty so kinda surprised.by arugula - Hockey

If that analysis holds than we can take advantage.by arugula - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 8 weeks ago
RichH jtwcornell91 Jeff Hopkins '82 To give you an idea of how second class this tournament feels, there are no programs at the rink and not even a QR code to scan for one (like there was last year). They just didn't bother creating one. Also, there's a single tiny stand selling souvenirs. None of it has the name of the schools on it - all the souvenirs simply have the tournament logo. In othby arugula - Hockey
Re: Basking in the glow of #13 - 8 weeks ago
Yes. Hear hear. I recall the 2010 game in Albany with my Cornell roommate who has since passed. I thought of him today.by arugula - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 8 weeks ago
Really two issues. First a more central location, second a better game day presentation. No program just astonishing. That’s one of the highlights of sports fandom. Digging through the old boxes and finding a program from a game from 40 years ago.by arugula - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 8 weeks ago
The way I’m thinking about it is that Cornell is by far the largest ECAC school with a huge number of alumni in the NYC area. ECAC instead holds the tournament in a tiny village which is difficult to reach and is near the smallest ECAC schools. Granted if Cornell is not in the final four it may not draw but as I mentioned before you can get a crowd for anything when there are 15 million peopleby arugula - Hockey
