Re: LeNeveu - 21 years ago
Whoa, I never implied that Schafer should prevent him from going or even ask him not to go. Everything I said was about him choosing to stay with the Cornell team for the last big nonconference game. I just feel that this year could be something really special and I would like to see the whole team out there. As for loyalty between school and country, sure country is the choice to make.by nyc94 - Hockey
Re: LeNeveu - 21 years ago
But what would your law firm do if you had a big trial starting at the end of December and you decided to take off for a month to do pro bono work in another country while leaving a first year associate in charge? I'm thinking they might pack up your office for you. Look, I don't know what the coaches expect of the players in this type of situation. Since this seems to happen all of the time Iby nyc94 - Hockey

That's not good. We need to win the Maine game. I guess I have mixed feelings about the players going off to pursue other glory. I would probably be more opposed to it if he was receiving a scholarship but still, he did get a spot at possibly compromised admissions standards. How are we going to feel if he gets injured while playing for Canada? I was in school when Manderville and Ratushny wby nyc94 - Hockey
Re: Thoughts of BU-CU & Beyond - 21 years ago
I think every game is important if we ever hope to crack the top 6 in the polls - something we havn't seen despite the wins against BU and Harvard.
