Saw this announcement for the incoming players:
Incoming players article in Sun

When the headline starts with "McDavid" that kind of draws attention.
Yes, she is related (cousin). Talk about having pressure on you.

Regardless, it seems like a great incoming class.

Quote from: 617BigRedBesides Love Story, Slap Shot and Mighty Ducks, any other connections between hockey and the big screen?

Mystery, Alaska
.....

Mystery Alaska has a direct connection to Cornell Hockey via the newspaper scene. David E Kelley was captain of the Princeton hockey team in the late 1970s and likely learned it form the Lynah Faithful during that time or soon after (Unless Jeff explains that it came from Scranton).

so is cornell

Good. :-( I would rather we go flat broke, and our beloved alma mater turn into a ghost town, than buckle to these clowns.

I'm not sure how this relates to Cornell's own legal action but there was a lot of press recently about how Cornell and Columbia were the only Ivies that didn't officially support Harvard's legal action. I'll leave legal terms like "Amicus Brief" to the experts.
Crimson article on who is supporting Harvard[/url

If Cornell is not offering support due to its own separate legal action then that is one thing. But I hope we are not cowering in fear.

No love for Derrick T. Harmon (there is another Derrick Harmon on pro football) in football? Lots of accolades during his time on the Hill and he won a Super Bowl ring with the Niners in '85. Note that this was just after Cornell was demoted to the second division.

Derrick T. Harmon
Aside from remembering him for his prowess as a running back, he interned with my company in our Geosciences group one summer while he was still on the Niners (IIRC). So he wasn't just a jock (not that the others are).

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

What the f--k happened to the Elynah I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh?

I'm kind of leaning more towards John Winger's inspirational speech from Stripes:
Stripes Pep Talk
A prophetic tidbit from that (substitute "Cornellians" for "Americans"):
"We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts! "

Not sure if it prophetic, but I solved today's wordle in 3 using the following hopeful words:
UPSET
SWEET
SHEET

Here's to a sweet upset on the ice sheet today!::cheer::

Quote from: Chris '03Not sure where else to note that Mark Carney,  the new Canadian PM Designate, was a backup goalie at H in the 80s.

Interesting. Does that mean that his politics are progressieve? :-D

FWIW, I was able to get the game on my laptop by logging in through a Disney+ account (with ESPN bundled). Not working through logging in to ESPN+ directly.

I can't believe that I never noticed, ASU plays hockey in Mullett Arena! **]

Before you T-off on me, my apologies if this amazing fact has been pointed out before.

Quote from: toddloseMaybe a bronze bust at the entrance of rink for players to touch prior to getting on the ice.

Or give him a statue outside (that should be for harkness or Dryden in my mind however)

Ring (or Wall, given the building geometry) of Honor isn't a difficult concept, folks.

Given the amount of displays in the hallways, I think adding one for Schafer should be a piece of cake.

Maybe Schafer has gained a few pounds, but I don't think the display should be a piece of cake :-D
Rather it should be a statue of him breaking a stick over his head. Or if it is just a bust then perhaps and interactive one where players can break things over the head for luck.

Quote from: chimpfoodI'm cheering hard for Vermont, Marshall's pretty much all foreign team just seems to be against the spirit of college sports.

Yes. Four Americans out of like thirty.

Pot calling the kettle Red? Wasn't that long ago that Cornell ice hockey was the wild Canadian horde.

I enjoyed the first game of the USA-Canada Rivalry series in women's hockey that is kicking off the PWHL season. I was generally impressed with the skill, speed and physicality. I think they are allowing a lot more contact these days in the women's game. The game was held in San Jose at the arena where the AHL Baracuda play (Sharks affiliate).

There were Cornell alums on both sides (Brianne Jenner, Jaime Bourbonnais, Rory Guilday) I wore my Cornell jersey/sweater and yelled out "Red!" during the anthem. A few people in the stands near me noticed and commented.

The USA seemed to have a bit more jump and better goaltending as they got out to a 6-0 lead and won 7-2.

If there were a team near me in the SF Bay Area, I would go to some games. I will also watch the next few games of the rivalry series (NHL network) as I think Canada was not happy about the blow out. Lots of tussling towards the end of the game.
