At least the 3s look like 3s instead of the unholy offspring of 3 & 7.

Veilleux didn't change his number to 15, and I'm going to be mad about this all summer.

Quote from: ugarte on June 26, 2026, 01:17:02 PMI can't believe I didn't know that Ryan Hughes' son was on the incoming roster. I saw Ryan score four goals in a 5-4 loss to BC at Lynah.

"Hughes your Daddy!" clap-clap-clap-clap-clap

As a freshman in 1992, the first semester after he left, several Lynah vets told me how much they missed screaming "HUUUUUUUUUUUUGHES" when he got the puck at key moments.

Similarly, if you want your athletic kids to be popular with fans, name them something with an "oooo" sound: Lou, Mookie, Raoul, Boo-urns, etc

Pretty sure that Hughes played his senior year ('92-93), though he may have wished he hadn't. That was a rough time to be a fan and it can't have been easy to be on the ice, either.

Memory: what a bitch.  Especially of that year for CU hockey

Quote from: stereax on June 22, 2026, 11:36:35 AMBU is awesome, UMaine will be great too. Omaha ofc we pay them back, RIT is a tradition it feels like.

We've only played RIT four times ever. Last was 2010.
Wait for real??? I swear it feels like we play them every year.

Am I getting them mixed up with RPI? I am, aren't I.

I would love if we scheduled RIT more often. Their student section could go up against the best of the east in terms of passion and creativity, honestly. BU, UNH, Maine, Vermont, Clarkson, RPI, and us.

Quote from: dag14 on May 26, 2026, 11:15:23 AMSyracuse fans always find something to complain about when their team loses.

Well that sounds familiar. Now that I think about it, Cornell fans tend to find something to complain about when we win, too.

Nothing on MSG's website yet. Occasionally they have it before anyone else, though probably not intentionally on Cornell's part.

Usually July?

We've heard as early as April in some years. Can never hurt to check.

As I age I'm finding that a task as simple as moving a mouse can absolutely hurt if I'm not careful.

Quote from: Trotsky on May 19, 2026, 02:37:46 AMI know I started this thread and all, but, having now read through it and followed the links and stories, I realized I just don't give a shit about what goes on off-ice.

The team I love are those who are wearing the sweater as I watch a particular game.  Whoever comes out the tunnel is yay.

The rest is codswallop.

Dammit. Every time I'm clicking on any of these threads, that's exactly what I think to myself. I realized long ago that I just don't care about following any of these commits, draft rankings, decommits, Junior pipelines, prospect-hugging whatever threads/discussion. I'm going to show up in the fall and cheer on the players hitting the ice dressed in our sweater. That's all I care about. Learn new players and their strengths and development.

I recognize that a lot of people do like that stuff, so I just stay quiet and let those who do have their fun or stress or whatever gets people occupied.

So Greg isn't alone, I'm just upset he took the credit. :-)

Quote from: arugula on May 16, 2026, 12:21:37 PMVgk!?!?  Now you lost me.  Pure evil.

Tawdry, but not evil.

The only evil in the NHL is the Slave States. FLA, TB, NSH, CAR, DAL. 

I can't abide any team south of the line connecting DC and St. Louis. L.A. Kings get the exception for longevity.

Given the Bay Area's hockey history, are you OK with the Sharks? Fun fact: San Jose is south of St. Louis.

I meant what I said. I made one exception for a CA team. Sorry, team teal.

Quote from: Trotsky on May 16, 2026, 03:42:07 PMSpeaking of TBRW, does the Report Generator not work for you on your mobile?  Yes, yes, the form factor sucks for the iPacifier, I know, I know, Paulette's gonna fix that, but I am talking about base functionality: do the pdf reports not display on your Pocket Epistemic Prison when you try to generate them?

I coded them, poorly, with VBScript, which I assumed had no issue with Android or iOS, but then again today is the very first time I ever used my Overpriced Masturbation Accessory to look at the site.

It works for me.

Quote from: dbilmes on May 11, 2026, 10:21:39 AMNot that it's any consolation, but we weren't the only home team to lose a first-round game. Richmond lost to Duke, and Virginia lost to Georgetown. Syracuse nearly lost to Yale.

Yale will always be first in gentlemanly club life.
