The Gallagher play is at about 46:30 in the Redcast video.

[quote Ben Rocky '04][quote Other Rockey]haha, true some of us have to leave so the others can fit.[/quote]

Mostly cause you take up 2 seats, fatty.[/quote]

At least she can spell her name correctly.

The ticket information and form can also be found here.

We were the ECAC, not the ECACHL.  and we are currently moving to be ECAC Hockey.

was it just me, or was there a lot of talk about the ECACHL before there was an ECACHL...

[quote billhoward]Maybe he's playing the wrong sport:

Cornell sports profile>>> An accomplished baseball player as well, he was the most valuable player of the Minnesota American Legion state tournament in 2004, an award whose past winners include Dave Winfield and Terry Steinbach. A two-time letter-winner in baseball, he was selected to the Gopher All-Conference team in 2004.[/quote]

or his trying to play both sports doesn't work for Schafer.

He was.  Scrivens, Krueger, Greening, and Scali were the only freshmen to play that weekend.  That would mean Milo, Nash, Romano, and Gallagher were the ones left behind.

Why is everyone being so tough on Milo?  He was our best 2-way freshman that saw regular playing time.  He was also the only on that was put on penalty kill.  He may not have produced offensively as much as everyone would have liked, but his contributions went beyond that.

[quote oceanst41]This is like the equivalent of Gramatica busting his ankle after kicking a field goal. Granted the field goal wasn't even a game winner, so he probably still takes the cake. However, it is more humorous than getting hurt while during play or because of a cheap shot.[/quote]

Actually it was worse than just injuring his ankle.  He actually tore his ACL.  How do you do that jumping up and down?

[quote Avash '05][quote Josh '99][quote ftyuv]So you have to dress at least 18 players, it sounds like. [/quote]I have to imagine that if, say, your team were on the road for the weekend, and they ate at, say, the Pizza Hut in Canton, and they all came down with, say, food poisoning?  In that case, they probably wouldn't make you forfeit the game if you only dressed 16 skaters.  But hey, the NCAA has a track record for being stodgy about unimportant rules, so I could be wrong.[/quote]

Recent instance of Cornell dressing 16 skaters: http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0304/boxes/mclgcor1.j31

(Cam Abbott, Ryan Vesce and Charlie Cook were all injured... and Byron Bitz and Ryan O'Byrne were serving Game DQs)[/quote]

If I remember correctly we were down to 15 by the end of that game because Wallace went out with an injury and it seemed like Downs played the whole third period.

[quote Ben Rocky 04][quote Josh '99][quote Giffy]The city did put up more money for the Steelers and Pirates new facilities just 8 years ago, totaling $840 million.  If you ask me, the money on the Pirates should have been spent on the Penguins, who are and will be much more competitive over the coming years.[/quote]Of course, nobody knew 8 years ago how effectively the draft lottery would get rigged in Pittsburgh's favor (resulting in how competitive they'll be in the coming years).[/quote]

No matter how well the Steelers did last year, or the Penguins are going to do this year, Pittsburgh shouldn't have spent money on the stadiums.  Past spending on the other facilities doesn't mean that they should continue to give in to unreasonable demands.[/quote]

Quote from: Ben Rocky 04The Steelers would never hold the 'Burgh hostage for this kind of cash, because their ownership cares about the city & their fans.

I'm not disagreeing that Pittsburgh shouldn't spend money on stadiums, I'm just pointing out that your thought of the Steelers might be wrong.  The city immediately respected their request for a new stadium, if they had not I'm sure the Steelers would have threatened to move, at least to a suburb of Pittsburgh.

yeah, i guess they probably didn't.  But did anyone really think the Pirates would get better?

[quote Ben Rocky 04][quote KeithK]I think we can definitely blame Rendell.  For lots of things unrelated to the Penguins :-D.  But on this one Ben is absolutely right.  It makes little sense for a municipality to build arenas/stadiums for professional sports teams.  If your business requires a new facility to be competitive do what every other type of company does.  Secure financing and build the facility yourself.  (Though admittedly it's standard procedure to seek tax benefits too...)[/quote]

Aww, Keith, are we having a moment?  :-D

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for tax breaks for new developments, rerouting mass transit systems to bring the public to a new facility, perhaps even city- financed parking garage next-door or municipal help in securing construction loans; but paying half the cost, or any of the cost for a new sports 20,000 seat facility is a bad idea, and its bad government. A local, county or state government should do everything it can to foster economic development within the realm of government (better schools, police, parks and infrastructure), but this stinks of corporate welfare.  A smaller rink like those in Rochester or Syracuse is much more reasonable for a city to partially own, since it can be used for local youth hockey and other events.  An NHL rink is too huge for these uses.  The Steelers would never hold the 'Burgh hostage for this kind of cash, because their ownership cares about the city & their fans. This just speaks volumes about the ownership of the NHL franchise's attitude.

Grant, you're right that professional sports keep young folks in the city, but I'd suspect the availability of good restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and the presence of CMU, Pitt, UPMC, and low cost of living go a long way too.  Pittsburgh is one of the smallest cities in the US to have three major professional sports teams, and because of that, perhaps this move was inevitable (though the dorky city planner in me has to point out that the KC metro area is actually smaller than Pittsburgh's by about 400k people, but I think they only have two major teams at the moment).[/quote]

[quote Will][quote Winnabago]What time of year are they generally available?  The FAQ doesn't mention it, I always thought it was at the beginning of the season, around Red/White, but there have been a few posts lately about purchases made now.

If I can go the next time I'm in Ithaca, that would be good news.[/quote]

Generally, they become available once the new jerseys arrive, and thus the old jerseys are no longer needed.  Unfortunately, when the new jerseys arrive in any given year is anyone's guess.  Ideally, it should probably be before the season begins, but at least in recent years (perhaps beyond that?), the team has been forced to use the old jerseys for the first few games of the new season.  Additionally, I think the players (and their mothers) get first crack at the jerseys when they become available.

Remember, the game-worn jerseys do NOT come with the nameplates, so make sure you know which numbered uniform(s) you're looking for before checking out the selection.[/quote]

It doesn't even completely depend on when the new jerseys come.  This year for example, the new jerseys were here and were used for the red/white game.  Yet the old jerseys weren't for sale until December.

Can't listen to the game right now, any chance you could post score updates?
