Regardless of how anyone feels about "Mary...lamb", "Pinball Wizard" was just the best ever--THANKS!!

Mr. Timekeeper

No doubt, this was certainly the most exciting Cornell Hockey game to date, and one of the greatest comebacks in all of sport.  I worked the penalty box for that game, so I had a great view of everything.  I remember seeing, after one of the many unbelievable saves by Bill Milner, someone above section M, in frustration, punch the circuit breaker box on the wall.  This caused the lights to go out, and the time period while the lights were warming back up created an unofficial time-out, giving us a chance to re-group.  I'll never forget Lance Nethery hanging his head in resignation when Randy Wilson skated free with the puck and headed into our zone towards the empty net.  Steve Hennessy followed Wilson, and when Wilson's shot hit a water puddle and went wide, Hennessy said, "Holy f**k, he missed the net!"  This got Lance's attention; he took the pass from Steve who had retrieved the puck; and, you know the rest....  When the fans came onto the ice, it was just complete bedlam.  I tossed the contents of the puck bucket onto the ice; I wonder if any of those pucks are still around?  Thanks for posting the video clip and newspaper articles.  I used to have the Ithaca Journal clippings and a cassette tape of the third period and the overtime, but they are long lost, much as the days of my mispent youth....  Speaking of which, as Arthur Mintz and I reflected upon before the Sacred Heart game, this is my 50th. season of watching the Big Red in Lynah.  My Dad took me to the first game played in Lynah, the N.Y. Rangers vs. the Rochester Amerks in 1957--unbelievable--what a long, strange trip it's been!!  Thanks Again,  "Mr. Timekeeper"

To recall the punchline of a very old joke, "You put sheet on my pizza I keel you!"

Try Sammy's on the Commons--order by the slice.  Fantastic eggplant pizza, among many others.
