My bad...I didn't realize that the author is an ECAC guy.....I envisioned some hockey writer in St. Paul trying to figure out a way to eliminate any team east of Lansing, MI.

Why not just title it: "Bubble teams, Who's in, who's out? Cornell"

Seemed too specific and negative.

"Never mind"

LGR!

I'm a semi-regular reader of the web page www.uscho.com and am slightly surprised/dismayed by the blog posting: "How to keep Cornell Out" refering to what combination of teams winning and losing will keep the Red out of the Tourney. Why? Is it our style of play, are teams scared to face us?? We beat UND, UNH, tied BU...we are a good team, that I believe hasn't hit its stride all year...maybe this past weekend was different and it looks like the Nash's have woken up a bit.

Why would a national blogger write about how to get us out, and follow it up with a "Get Yale out too"? I know the ECAC is not a power conference, but its better then the CHA and AHA.

Flattering or frustrating?

Well it is easy to dwell on such an abysmal loss to D'mouth...we did win over 'Gate and Sucks, and the Yale loss being only one goal late...looks ok to someone sitting in Minnesota voting....even though we know it should have been 5-1.

I hope the team isn't looking past Brown, the way this forum is!::snore::

broken stick....down 5-0, win 6-5? Fawcett was a sieve? I tried to forget the 11-3 debacle.

I was at Lynah the night Shafer cleared the puck out of the o zone and into the Harvard bench and missed Cleary by inches or feet....1985 or 1986, classic stuff when the old guy jumped up on the dasher and screamed at Shaf.....might have gotten a minor penalty out of it. Same night he broke his stick over his head during pre-game!  Na, different yr.

I'm one row above the frame in the Cornell crowd shot....granted I was sitting with the QU AD, but my daughter and I were proudly covered in Cornell garb. Great pictures. I love the one with the QU fans all texting and what not, as the Bobcats continue the worst 2nd half in ECAC history. The win over the 'Gate not withstanding.

Should be a great time. I'll be there with my brood. My 10 yr. old loves the Big Red and had her first visit to Lynah for the Saturday NDakota game after catching several road games at the Q, the Whale, and even Union! Considering we live in northern CT, the Union playoff game in '08-09 was a trek! My 4 year old asked me why we never yelled "it's all your fault" at the Sioux goalie...have you ever tried to explain that to a 4 year old!!?!  Hopefully she will have plenty of chances on Friday night, even though 8pm is after her bedtime!  Go Red!

Well we all believe it is well past the time to move on....I was surfing earlier this am and found this video, the first I had seen of the tieing goal....as well as our second on the breakaway.

Around 4:30 in is the equalizer. Couple observations....I hear no whistle, but we were all pretty loud at the time. Greening's defensive effort on the feeds to the slot area is weird, out of balance, and pretty weak....speaking of weak, The weak side defense is sad. The first guy is left along in front and the digger/goal scorer is untoucheed. Looks like they were either winded or relying on Scrivens too much.

Also, I've never been a ref, but why are two refs standing next to each other outside the zone 5 feet from each other? Do they stay out of the zone on purpose?

Does anyone have any idea if the annual Florida swing will be picked up on TV? With a solid field, one would hope/wish/dream that we'd be able to see it somehow...thoughts?

Oops. The Indiana game in '87 still stings. ::blush::

Quote from: TrotskyBU hasn't even made the ECAC tournament since 1985.

That's hilarious!  Not really.

The "rich" history is outlined on the right margin of this forum. If you mean all history is measured only by NC's and not overall success then its a good thing Boehiem got his 2 at SU and Elway got his SB. The 11 ECAC's and 19 Ivy titles would lead one to believe that Cornell has a pretty rich one. Some of those ECAC titles were over the Terriers....

Hello gang, frequent reader, new member/poster...don't hold my forum name against me!?!

Did anyone feel that we were "out marketed" Saturday night? The reason I ask is that in my section (88) there seemed like quite a few boys dressed like recruits :-) I thought if you looked at the big picture, BU "sold" themselves better. The opening video compared to ours was laughable. We have a rich(er) history and they were presenting all their HE championships and NCAA Championships...they have an alum (granted it was a Ranger) show up on the big screen getting the crowd riled up....we have some Dean of Students who giggles like a school girl on the screen. We have some staged (looked like it) pep rally video with the football team running through, a quick hoop mention about the back to back NCAA apperances ( no small feat!!) How about a little love from Joe N. and Kenny Dryden if not Moulson? We were not creative in my mind.

Digital video production highlighting our sports teams should have been an easier thing to achieve....maybe in 2011 we'll be better prepared!

Overall, it was a great experince for my daughter and I, but aside from the crowd, the band, and the result, were we losers on the overall stage? Just my $.02.
