what a game!

I thought it had been quite a while since Cornell started the season 6-0. If I just did my sleuthing correctly, the last time Cornell went 6-0 to start a season was in the 1971-72 season (my senior year!)! That year, CU won their first eight games.

Donato and his line were -2. Colgate had 5 penalties to Harvard's 3; it was effectively four in a row until they started to even it up at the end.
Perhaps we should rough 'em up a bit...

A few things:
How can Donato be -2 when he scored a goal in a 2-1 game?
Colgate is wining because of great goaltending, Colton Point is .965. Can he maintain that?
Harvard out shot Colgate 31-20.
I'm glad that the ECAC boxscore shows Colgate's first goal at 8:12. The CHN app showed the goal at 8:02, scored by Cockrell with assist by Panowyk. Panowyk had a penalty at 6:02.
I had a difficult time last night trying to figure that out.

I'm in favor of ditching it. I think it has lost its usefulness and it's too likely to harm us with a penalty due to a dumb fan.

Despite the warning talk, has there ever actually been a penalty given for throwing stuff? I can't seem to recall it happening. As well, what is the point of athletics making such a big deal about the so-called "zero tolerance" "no fish policy" every year when there is clearly a non-zero level of tolerance?

If you throw it any time other than pre-game, it should be a penalty. But that's not about the tradition, that's about self-importance and foolishness.

In the late 70's & early 80's we actually did it when they came out for the 3rd period. And yes, they often called a delay of game penalty.
In one game, after they called a delay of game penalty for the fish (and chicken - and a giant phallus with "Harvard Sucks" written on it), Tredway proceeded to finish a hat trick. Hats came onto the ice...and the pissy refs called another delay of game penalty!
Fortunately we won the game 11-4. Harvard really DID suck back then.

The 2011 game. Cornell had just tied it in the 3rd, some idiot threw a fish, delay of game. Harvard PP came up empty, but they scored a minute or two after to take the game.
Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82..... Hats came onto the ice...and the pissy refs called another delay of game penalty!.....
Yes, I do believe that ref was Peter Dawes.... And, I don't recall him ever reffing another game at Lynah.. That was the most horseshit call I can ever remember in
my 50+ years of college hockey.... And, in that era, we weren't scoring many hat tricks... So, that made it a bit more disgusting.
I suspect, the Lynah Faithful had been riding Peter over some bad calls & that was his payback time... But, that is blind speculation..
That photo is going to be legendary. What a shot!

The following is from the article:
Quote from: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/11/8/m-hockey-at-colgate-cornell-preview-2017/In a tradition dating back to 1963 (http://www.thecrimson.com/column/thirty-seconds-to-meaghers/article/2017/1/27/mens-hockey-column-cornell-fish/), Big Red students assail the Crimson with fish when the team takes the ice before the national anthem.
Funny, Paul Kantner said, "If you remember the sixties, you weren't really there." (https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/p/paulkantne101385.html) So maybe that's it. But I really don't recall any fish-throwing at that time and always thought the custom began in the 1970s. I do know from TBRW, that we didn't start to kick Crimson butt until 1965 and prior to that during the sixties at most split with them or lost both RS games to them, sometimes badly. So I always thought any serious hockey rivalries developed in the late sixties, with BU being the most arch nemesis. Harvard was an enemy largely because its coaches dissed Ned's recruiting from Canada, and it was among the best in the Ivies. But Cornell went from bad to best during the decade, and I recall BU, BC, and Clarkson as more hated foes. Art Mintz seems to share this opinion: "Harvard was decent, but they were just another opponent (http://cornellsun.com/2017/01/25/an-amusing-tradition-for-most-a-nuisance-for-others-fish-and-cornell-harvard-hockey/)". So, IIRC, the Harvard rivalry came later, and I don't remember any fish-throwing during my time on the hill, which I departed in 1969. Am I wrong about this?

You are right, the fish started in the '70's, I believe as a reaction to the chicken incident at Harvard. As far as the rivalry, Harvard started playing top-notch hockey in the '68-'69 season with Joe Cavanagh, and the entire Owen-Cavanagh-DeMichele line leading the way as sophs, and then added a second terrific line Corkery-Hynes-McManama two years later.

The grammar is fine, so sic is perhaps not warranted.
But, for a
Crimson writer, "his team's" in "leader of his team's attacking ranks" sounds ever so distant. As in, "Ah, yes, we do have a hockey team over there, old boy!"
And let us not forget the forgettable movie, Love Story, which brought some notoriety to the rivalry.

Thanks. Oh well, this wouldn't be the first time that Harvard was the source of a little revisionist history.
I agree the chickens were great!!!
A shout out to the best Cornell "chicken" presenter --- Bill Silvia (may he rest in peace).
I got the pleasure of seeing him do it my freshman year and then his brother "Redlight" continued the tradition in grand style into the early 1980s.
At Harvard in 1972, the Cantabridgeans tied a chicken to the Cornell net. David Elenbaas (Ag '73, U Toronto Law '81) was the Cornell goaltender. I can't recall if it was before the third period or before the start of the game. I believe that was the only time Harvard did it. Cornell has now retaliated ~45 times.
Interesting note from the ECAC article (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/2017-18/Game_Stories/20171111_Cornell-Harvard) on the game:
Quote"I haven't had much time to think about it. It's a pretty crazy feeling," McCrea said. "I was actually committed to Harvard in the past before I came to Cornell. So that was really emotional for me getting that last goal. It was a great effort from our team this weekend."

As I recall, Harvard wanted McCrea to defer and play juniors an additional year. He wasn't willing to wait and Cornell swooped in. He's been a terrific player for us.

Let's give credit where credit is due. ECAC articles are generally just posting of what the Us put out. The article is from CornellBigRed.com (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2017/11/11/mens-ice-hockey-mccreas-late-winner-lifts-12-14-mens-hockey-past-harvard.aspx) and was written by Brandon Thomas, formally with the IJ and for a number of years now the "Assistant Director of Athletic Communications" covering men's hockey.
In my view, he's the best at this in the ECAC.
The Harvard Crimson game story (http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/11/11/m-hockey-at-cornell-gamer-2017/) left out a key fact -- the name of the player who scored the game-winning goal. For some reason, he mentions Kaldis when he describes Cornell's first goal, but never mentioned McRae's name when describing the game-winner. Even though the story is written from the Harvard angle, that's still an important fact to include. As other posters have noted, the ECAC needs to give Donato some type of sanction for his comments on the officiating.

His comments weren't in public, but something said to the official. I think the 2 min penalty is sufficient.
Not that it should matter to the league, but the penalty went a long way as to their losing. Effectively multiplying the penalty.

Did you see Donato's quote in the Crimson? Donato publicly questioned the officials' competence. I think that will merit a suspension.

No I didn't. From the post I didn't realize that it was referring to the article, rather than the mentioned "other posters".
Reading it, it is more serious, but although I don't remember it exactly, I think Coach Shafer's comments were stronger.
We'll see what happens today.
Anyone know what's going on with Cairns??
I believe Cairns has some type of injury. Hopefully he'll be able to play soon.
Is anybody else's ILDN severely delayed these days? I got a text from an old friend (who was listening or maybe at the game) about the game winner seemingly 5 minutes before I saw it on my screen - really annoying. I don't remember this being the case in the past.

It's been a while since Lynah was that loud.
The 3 Harvard fans out there who post on the USCHO forum are predictably whining about the officiating at the end of the game. I thought Kaldis did a pretty good job impeding Donato without committing a penalty, but Daddy Donato obviously thought otherwise.

I didn't know Teddy had the USCHO app on his phone.
Bench minor. ::laugh::
Aside from winning, the nicest thing for me last night was talking to Patrick McCarron's parents. Although he had a game last night, which they watched on their phone, they said that they plan to always come back for the Harvard weekend.
I don't know how many other alumni parents have that same connection to CU hockey, but it reminds me of the Harkness era. He had Ontario alumni parents that essentially were recruiters for CU. I can only hope that a minuscule form of that returns. Word of mouth can be a powerful thing.

Referring to the officiating (http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/11/11/m-hockey-at-cornell-gamer-2017/), Teddy apologized to his team "for the [lack of] competency we saw out there as well."
Schafer's gotten suspended for less
was the reffing all that bad down the stretch.. the charging call was a good one, and the cornell contact they complained about was barely a touch.. the late tripping was a trip, although surprised they called it that late, but then after ripping the refs and getting a bench minor they may have caused it themselves.
they did let the 2nd harvard goal count when they took out the goalies legs, but I thought that call was Ok, even though we have seen far less count as contact.

Everything about the play to set up the GWG is amazing. McCrea fumbles the pass but the glue on the blue line holds the puck in.
Barron beats a Harvard guy to the puck in the corner so badly that the guy can't even cut him off - and he falls down trying.
McCrea floats into open space to the left of the goalie and starts frantically banging his stick, which Barron hears.
Barron swoops around the net and fires a pass to McCrae's tape.
McCrea cocks the hammer as the pass comes in because he knows time is tight and one-times it.
I still keep replaying it in my head.

The highlights on youtube show clearly the "Harvard guy" grabbing and briefly holding the hem of Barron's sweater while falling in an attempt to stop or slow him.
I love the Harvard guy in the right foreground: shoulders and arms just sagging in despair.
Every Harvard player should look like that for now and evermore.
is it ILDN or the feed from WHCU still going old school across multiple lines to get to the internet.. last I knew the stream was going out of the building on cable lines to a another building then being converted and feed back to a fiber line and sent to ILDN where ever that is and then out to us..

This is all kind of over my head, but whatever it is, its pathetic in 2017.

Turns out on close examination that "Harvard guy" was Ryan Donato.

Malott's goal was a thing of beauty. The Harvard player he beat so decisively was #26, Jacob Olson. While neither is a NHL draft pick (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/reports/drafted.php?st=c), Olson was nonetheless voted the top high-school defenseman in Minnesota and played on a US U18 select team. So he's not exactly chopped liver. Malott so thoroughly beating a player of Olson's calibre says quite a bit about Malott's ability. This should be tempered by the fact that although Olson is a junior and Malott is only a sophomore, Malott is about six months older than Olson.
This obviously ranks up with the greatest Harvard Games of all time and might be the best hockey game I've seen in person (and I've been lucky to see some pretty good ones). Not 2003 ECAC final status, of course (I wasn't there), but in the running for best regular season Harvard clash. 2013-14 (another 2-goal comeback plus Lowry's late-OT winner) is another candidate, as is 2014-15 (Freschi scoring with under a minute to go; Harvard ranked #4). I would give the nod to Saturday night because of the comeback, the McRae Harvard decommit storyline, the fact both teams should be good this year (with Harvard coming off a Frozen Four appearance), the wild ending including the bench minor, and the fact the goal was scored with two seconds remaining.
EDIT: 2013-14 was on Senior Night--maybe have to give it to that one, then.
It's really a shame that such a good discussion of this great game is doomed to be buried in THIS THREAD.

I agree (I hate this thread's title, but that's another story.), but next time start a game thread. That would probably solve it.
Working on it. Give me five more minutes.
EDIT: Okay, I didn't manage to retain anything resembling chronological order, but at least it's all now on its own thread. I did it kind of quickly to avoid complications, so if anybody spots anything that should really belong in the Big Thread, please let me know and I'll try to correct it.

I assumed it was our old friend the Spambot.

Because it had been thirty posts since you had 59 new posts.

Yeah, did anything happen after the hockey game in that movie? I've never bothered to watch past that point...

When they used to show it at Olin every Fall we'd all walk out after we win. That
is the end of the movie.
I hear one of them dies.

I'd watch it for a few minutes more to see a beat up Ryan O'Neal 'cause we did it to him. But after that...get the remote.

And if anyone in the crowd missed this because they were on their phone, I don't see 'em. Impressive.
