Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 6 weeks ago
Are we witnessing the Dave Portnoy-ification of the Cornell students? Just greenlighting all manner of boorishness?by imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Harvard @ Cornell Saturday - 6 weeks ago
sah67 Iceberg I can tell you that ~15 years ago when I was a student, there was no such entry onto the ice after games and there was virtually no opportunity to interact with the players unless you were classmates, working with the team in a media capacity, or socially acquainted. During my undergrad days (a few years before yours), there was an annual “Skate with the Big Red” event where stuby imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
Jeff Hopkins '82 Now 6-1 good "guys" end of 2. Much better. The sixth goal, by Rory Guilday with 20 seconds left in the second period, left the Colgate commentator saying "the Big Red again are in the Red Light District," which is funny but perhaps inappropriate.by imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 2 months ago
The winning goal was a real oddball gift from Lynah rink. The puck bounced hard off the boards just inside the corner and came straight out. We know that Lynah has deep, non-standard corners, within the standard 200'x85' frame. An NHL regulation rink would have ricocheted the puck back towards the goal mouth rather than straight back out, and the Q goalie got caught in no-woman's-land when she trby imafrshmn - Hockey

Regarding the SLU goalie's stick banging... he was having equipment issues (pads/skate?) the whole night and was clearly uncomfortable with whatever was the problem. So perhaps he was trying to get his team to play for a stoppage whistle.by imafrshmn - Hockey

When was the last time we scored 2 or more EA goals in one game?by imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 2 months ago
On the topic of annoying play-by-play announcer tropes, the guy did the whole voice-cracking in the middle of saying "he scores!" thing (for SLU goals only). He scoOOORres! Are we really meant to believe this is an involuntary quirk?by imafrshmn - Hockey

Re: Brown vs. Cornell 2/16 - 2 months ago
BearLover Good crowd and dominant win tonight. Should have been at least 5-0. This team is really firing on all cylinders (I’m sure they’ll lose to Yale tomorrow now that I’ve said that). PP looked a little better; at least we’re willing to shoot it on net now. And it was nice running into BigDingus in the bathroom. Always fun to see a BigDingus in the bathroom.

CU77 Trotsky First shutout by a Cornell goaltender in an NCAA game since The Shutout. Wow! At least in the context of this bit of Cornell Hockey arcana, Ian Shane is The Answerby imafrshmn - Hockey

The lively boards behind goal make it feel like Lynah. Arena also has memories of Matt Moulson's years with the AHL Monarchs.by imafrshmn - Hockey

Scersk '97 Trotsky Scersk '97 Yale is not looking good, and I think we’re on our game tonight.This is the Yale we knew and loved from 1988-2007. Every year that passes I feel better about 2013. They caught lightning in a bottle, but it wasn’t the beginning of some dynasty. At that time, I wished, of course, that it had been us, and I continue to hope that, someday in my future, it will be ourby imafrshmn - Hockey
Rankings manipulation - 1 year ago
It’s recently come out that Columbia had been fudging certain metrics in order to game the US News & World Report college rankings. Can’t say I’m surprised that an Ivy would do this... my only question is who cares?by imafrshmn - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: ECAC playoffs 2022 - 2 years ago
Trotsky Colgate sweeps Yale and will face us. Colgate announcer gives a shout-out to "my friend Jason Weinstein," and wishes Mike Schafer a healthy return. Colgate announcer John McGraw has some hilarious quips and a dorky, nasally affect. Honestly one of the best in the biz.by imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: 2022 ECAC Permutations - 2 years ago
upprdeck Its more hard to find a way for Cornell to make it close to top 15 and have a shot at the NCAA short of winning the ECAC. All or nothing, baby! We’re a dangerous team and we have nothing to lose. LGR!by imafrshmn - Hockey
