Quote from: The Rancor on November 16, 2025, 12:49:46 PMthat first Yale goal really seemed to piss off Cornell.

Well, the Yale guy did make a point of skating past his teammates to bang into the Section A glass.

Yeah, that was a dick move.

good lord we spend 60 minutes challenging parentage and casting hexes and they needle back a little and all of a sudden we are concerned with decorum. the whole arena is made of dick moves!

If anything, it proves the crowd is doing its job correctly.

Quote from: andyw2100 on November 16, 2025, 10:00:21 AMI'm wondering why there needs to be any vinyl that can cause problems if the ice winds up too thin. Why not just go old school and just use paint or dye or whatever it is that used to be used before the vinyl?

For that matter, why not remove all the derp from the ice except the lines, circles, and dots.

Also bring back the perforated red line (for those of us with B&W TVs). I have very very minor sadness to see there's a solid line now, bucking nearly a century of odd but fun trivia.

Quote from: chimpfood on November 14, 2025, 12:15:46 AMWe should maul both Brown and Yale on the dot this weekend, both have been bad faceoff teams so far. And, as usual, both look like bad teams. A sweep would be a great result to give us some wiggle room for next week and red hot hockey.

Oh, it's Pylon Hockey weekend already? This will tell us something to see how this young team responds to the Obstacles on Ice (tm).

Quote from: Trotsky on November 14, 2025, 11:17:00 AMCHN has CHIP. 

I looked it up so you* don't have to: CHIP is a comprehensive-quality stat comparable to baseball's WAR.

* person like me

I still had to look up WAR, though.

(It's not all that relevant to the Mets, you see.)

We're about to piss away Pete's 23.3 career WAR.  Relevance.

There's a miserable, miserable part of me that says let Pete walk, let Edwin walk, and try to have an under the luxury tax threshold reset year.

When/if baseball returns from the 2027 labor stoppage, there will be a different system with different rules.

Quote from: GBR1234 on November 09, 2025, 10:52:31 PMClearly offside. A pity it was the game winner.

How do the refs fuck this up so badly?

Even WITH video review. The homer-ish D announcers even thought it was pretty clear the goal was coming off the board.

Do we EVER win a review decision? (I know we do, but it seems the percentage of reviews that go against us is shockingly small at this point.)

Quote from: Iceberg on November 02, 2025, 10:18:04 AMAlso, there is another regular season game that starts before 7 (randomly the game at Brown later in the season) but nothing else at an oddly earlier time. I completely missed the first period because I thought this game was a 7 PM start.

I almost missed the start, and I had checked the Cornell site after the game on Friday night.

Earlier in the week I had noticed the 6:00 PM on the Cornell site. I didn't hear any mention of that during Friday's broadcast, so after the game I checked the Cornell site again. The main entry still said 6:00 PM, but the "Next Game" entry at the top of the page had the standard 7:00 PM time listed, so I figured the 6:00 PM in the other spot was just a mistake.

On a whim, at about 5:58 PM yesterday I looked again, and at that time the "Next Game" entry had been changed to 6:00 PM.

I rushed to get ESPN up. And had the "game will start soon" banner.

At that point I posted in the Friday night game thread, and then decided to also start a specific thread, hoping it may help some people who just didn't know.

Sorry, for your sake, that I hadn't figured it out earlier.

You would think that the announcers on Friday night might have thought to mention the odd start time for the next night at some point during the broadcast. Perhaps they did, and I just missed it.

I have the CHN app set to give me a "favorite team game alert" 1 hour before each game start. I'm spending a lot of time switching from Eastern Time to Mountain these days so this has been very useful. That was the best way to make me aware of the game time last night.

Bergmann with 17 saves for her 2nd clean slate in 4 games. 5-0 Red over Green in Hanover. Nora Curtis with two PPG.

Quote from: Al DeFlorio on October 25, 2025, 02:50:58 PMPostings on FanLax fall scrimmages thread say MD scrimmage was 6-6 at half and 11-9 MD after three.  Perfetto, then Nurry at attack with Goldstein and Firth.  Waldman, Robinson and Luzzi 1st middies.  Nikolic apparently out.

Thanks for reminding me to go watch the last game that counted again. I'll never tire of it.

Jebus, that really happened, didn't it?

Quote from: ugarte on October 20, 2025, 03:21:05 PMif you miss the color scheme, so be it, but the navigation is great and the layout is simple. I'm good.

A few new features help with navigation and keeping up with new posts with fewer clicks. It feels a bit zippier to me.

Quote from: billhoward on October 19, 2025, 12:08:24 PMThe West Stands were fabulous. Okay, that was fifty years ago, and it reminds me: Saying "you shoulda seen the '70s" to current students is like a Class of '25 (1925) grad telling me (Class of '74) in the Vietnam / 29-0 / Marinaro /first lax championship era how cool it was wearing raccoon coats (and celebrating national football championships) and drinking Bees Knees (gin, honey syrup, lemon juice) in the Crescent. The West Stands:

• • Held 4000 people.
  • Were enclosed, with steel under your feet and behind your legs, so they felt like real stands not what you had in HS. There started about 8 feet above ground level; you could see over the players; compare to Berman Field stands about half as high.
  • Were around 1947 to 2016, held mostly Cornell students, and were a suitable for launching plastic champagne corks between quarters.
  • Were useful at graduation when there are capacity issues.
  See this Cornell Daily Sun 2016 article on the demise of the West Stands: https://www.cornellsun.com/article/2016/03/west-schoellkopf-stands-torn-down-due-to-underuse-disrepair
  
  I have hopes that at some point Cornell moves the playing surface closer to the Crescent (remove the old running track no longer used for competitions) and builds in the space between the garage/press box and the field:
  
  • Maybe a grassy knoll like some schools have for lazing at the game, catching sun, etcetera.
  • Or better, a thin building slides in there, maybe for athletic administration, with an open but covered top level that holds 500 for, say, early season lacrosse, or sprint football. Thus making Teagle Hall available to be reconfigured with a 50-meter swimming pool.
  
  The terrace seating used for lacrosse late in the season was great for getting close to the action, taking photos up close, getting a beer or wine legally, or — this happened also — lets parents and boisterous alums yell at the refs up-close.
  

• It was all downhill after they built the Theory Center (Rhodes Hall) and blocked the views of the Valley from the Crescent (which I only sat in for Graduations and 4ths of July, but still...).

That's a delightfully well-harbored grudge. Well done, and I'll bring it up in the next campus curmudgeon annual meeting.

Is that by invitation or can anyone attend?

A full membership is included as a perk for having an account here.

Quote from: Give My Regards on October 17, 2025, 10:39:01 PMNot that it matters that much in an exhibition, but Katz did not play tonight.  Keopple played into the second, with Cournoyer taking over for him.

Whoops...not sure how I blew that, but somehow Koepple at the start of the 2nd looked "different" to me. You're clearly right, especially now that I see Koepple's jersey number in some photos I took at the start of the 2nd.

Speaking of jersey numbers, the font seems different this year. Specifically, the "3" is a little weird.

They switched to a new manufacturer: CCM, I believe.

I'm hoping the road jerseys have been corrected.

Quote from: CU77 on October 01, 2025, 01:10:30 AMWhy is it blue?? 

I'll direct you to the sticky/pinned thread on the hockey sub-forum.

In short: Age had to quickly respond to issues and got it up & running with a default rudimentary theme. Aesthetic changes will be coming. In the meantime there are color choices in the footer for you.

Quote from: stereax on September 30, 2025, 01:29:30 PMYet another thought - could we put the old ELynah logo at the top, where it says ELynah Forum?

Yes, this template is just a placeholder until I can make one. Or modify this one or something, but I'm going to need some time for that.

Request that first template you make is a dark mode, so we have at least one option for that.

Clicking on the sun icon in the upper left corner may delight you.

It wasn't obvious to me.
