Captains announced

This is hardly new. The original Hall of Fame announcement was made on June 26.

Quote from: hypotenuseAn interesting project. As a 1973(!) graduate, I feel that like a game of telephone, or that Star Trek episode with the Coms and the Yangs, some of the cheers have become garbled over the decades. The one I miss most is the cheer after we score, which went ONE! WE WANT MORE, hopefully followed by ONE! TWO! WE WANT MORE,, etc. This was done slowly and deliberately, so the full impact of our scoring prowess could be absorbed by our adversary.
Over the last decade(?), the words are said,  but without any understanding why, IMHO.
As for RED, I always thought we stole it from someone else, maybe Colgate. It was not done during my era.

One funny anecdote. At the first game at MSG on Thanksgiving weekend, maybe 10 or so years ago. The Garden had some guy on hand to sing the Star Spangled Banner. No one had bothered to tell him about our little tradition, and so when he got to rockets red glare, and the place erupted with RED, he literally stopped for several beats while he tried to figure out WTF. A highlight of the evening.

I was an Ithaca freshman during the 1988-89 season - my first game at Lynah as a reporter would've been November 1988 or maybe January 1989. Back then, there was no press box - just a press row of seats, about 3 rows off the glass. The crowd was definitely doing the "Red" thing then - because I distinctly remember nearly having a heart attack when it happened.  I was totally unprepared.

There was a pressbox at Lynah, at the top of section C, but it was very small, only had room for WHCU, the visiting radio, the SID, and the Ithaca Journal reporter. All others with media credentials sat, as Adam described, in a row behind the timekeeper and announcer, who were directly behind the single penalty bench.

Just posted on Facebook a few minutes ago.

Quote from: chimpfoodI think Caron Ryan might come in a year early. We need a center and I don't think any of our other recruits coming this year are, and he's put up good numbers in the BCHL. By the way, where did you guys hear about fisher?

The Vees posted about it here.

Weird ass development path tho. Full year at Northeastern and then full year in the BCHL.

It's unusual, but not unheard of. Sometimes players do a year in Division I, but something isn't quite right (maybe he thought he should be doing better than 1-1-2 in 29 games at Northeastern?) so they return to juniors for a year before coming back to Division I, often at a different school.  I would say this path was more common before the transfer portal, as back then players would have to sit for a year if they wanted to transfer schools.

We had somebody go back.  Cairns?  I can't remember.

Troy Davenport.

Now wait a minute.  I didn't see anywhere it said that I had to be intelligent to post here

They dropped the eLynah entrance exam requirement about 8 years ago.

But is there still a swimming test?

Same lines as last night.

Quote from: BearLoverPecknold is a fucking disgrace.

Did somebody on Cornell get hurt? Seemed O'Brien started taking regular shifts only at the end?

O'Brien for DeSantis. Couldn't tell if it was injury or strategic.

Lines. At least, our lines.

Quote from: stereaxIn the Halls, Episode However Many:

- Guilday spotted some kids wearing ECAC champs merch with her name and number on the back. "That's so cool!" Took pictures with them. Now having a chat with their parents. "It's far, it's really far" - I assume telling the kids they can't come to watch the Frozen Four. Now chatting about Ohio State. "You guys are the best, seriously!" :')
- Grober ditched her hat with her mother and scuttled off to chat with UMD 11. Might've gone to the same high school. Returned to her parents though.
- Regalado and Bergmann were pulled into the video room. Just hurried out, Regalado exclaiming something about "thirty-one hundred".
- Delianedis has a (girl?)friend here who's wearing a Superman cape with her number on it.
- I think the players on the team who didn't dress for the game today have on silly costumes. Saw a girl dressed as a bear and a girl in a red bodysuit.
- UMD fans and players have filtered out by now (19:05ish). A couple of dogs though - Avar's mom(?) with two dogs (one gold, one black/brown) and someone else with a golden retriever.
- "The Grobers are going to come with us, so that makes it ten - maybe eleven" (a couple presumably parenting another player, on presumably dinner plans)

Alright. Bus time for me. Good fuckin' game.

I'm going to guess "thirty-one hundred" refers to attendance, which is 3135 in the official box score.

Quote from: TrotskyFun fact: the eng was a ppg.  Every little bit helps!

Apparently only the seventh time that's happened.

Line chart. DeSantis out, Donaldson in.

Quote from: andyw2100This is a question for ACM.

For the firs two Yale challenges of goals, I believe you made an announcement that used the word "challenge." For the third Yale review I believe you used the term "Official Review." Listening from the stands, we thought that perhaps that meant that the Yale bench had convinced the refs to review the play on their own, without it being a challenge. Since Yale had already lost their timeout when they lost the second challenge, if the third review was not a challenge but rather something the refs were reviewing on their own, then had the review not resulted in the major penalty, Yale would not have been hit with a minor penalty. If, in fact, the third review was also a challenge, then Yale was risking a minor penalty. So my question is did we hear something wrong or miss something in your announcements, and/or was the difference in use of words not actually significant? Or were we correct that the difference in what you announced was significant, and that the third review, was, in fact, a review that the refs were doing on their own, with no potential negative ramifications for Yale?

In mid-January, the league sent out a directive trying to standardize the announcements to be made in challenge and video review situations. Unfortunately, the directive did not include the situation that occurred in last night's game, namely a coach's challenge for a major penalty. I used the closest scenario they provided, knowing that the wording was inaccurate and would probably cause confusion. It was, in fact, a Yale challenge, and would have resulted in a minor penalty against them if the challenge had been unsuccessful.
