Quote from: pjd8 on November 11, 2025, 10:24:12 PMA game with 13 Ferguson points and 10 Murray points is a different league entirely.

Oh, but to have Death on our team again. Hockey players have the best names.

Pronounced "Deeth."  Went on to stay locally as, what Arthur, a dentist?  Doctor?

Fundraiser for Cornell in Alumni Affairs. And a referee.

Quote from: Weder on November 09, 2025, 08:31:20 AMJust got around to reading this email from the athletics department:

QuoteCornell Athletics invites you to Lynah Rink on Friday, November 14 at 7 PM as we celebrate the life and legacy of legendary goaltender Ken Dryden '69 during our ECAC Hockey home opener against Brown.

A two-time All-American and the backbone of Cornell's 1967 national championship team, Dryden's impact reaches far beyond his Hall of Fame playing career with the Montreal Canadiens. His leadership, character, and excellence helped shape the foundation of Cornell Hockey and continue to inspire generations of Big Red student-athletes.

The evening will feature a special pregame tribute, including a video celebration of Dryden's life and legacy, a ceremonial puck drop with members of his Sigma Phi Society fraternity, and the debut of a helmet decal featuring his iconic silhouette — a symbol synonymous with one of the sport's most distinctive goaltending stances. Members of the Dryden family, including his wife Lynda, will be in attendance.

Dryden was a three-time All-American.

You mean the timeout we lost when we challenged their goal for offside?

Quote from: Trotsky on November 01, 2025, 07:04:39 PMI assume it is CORN-why-eh, not corn-WHY-eh.

Can't say. But the guy pronouncing it corn-WHY-eh is the same guy that got Fegaras right last night, while the other guy was butchering it.

There are pronunciations on the line chart referenced above.

Rookie mistake. Never read anything into sequence on the line chart.

Quote from: scoop85 on October 31, 2025, 07:27:06 PMWhat do people thing about numbers on the front of our jerseys?

Non-traditional, but anything that helps identify the players is a good thing.

Dave Nulle passes away.

Alex Rauter in Japan.

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.
