I used to park at the crescent lot or garage, but it's probably not much of a walk from the wing lot.

Where do people park for games these days?

Goals from six different players, including the 'extra man'.  How about that? s/

I don't love some of those odd man rushes or 5 penalties, but good on CU for killing a 5x3 and converting on a 5x3. TCB.

You might be able to use the shops to persuade someone to go with you?

The shops..?

Corning has a delightful little downtown with some nice shopping, if that's your thing. The museum and it's activities are first rate. Plan to spend the entire day there.

Very interesting and compelling use for the campus. Thanks for alerting us!

There's an inverse relationship between how much BL talks about hockey and how much he understands it.

Historically, the best place to eat in Syracuse is the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.  It is the original location, has been a gem for decades. Some how this Southern BBQ honky-tonk blues club biker bar in Upstate NY just works and works well. Local produce, sausages and meats as well as some really interesting characters. There used to be some decent pizza and falafel joints up in the college town area.

Quote from: The Rancor on January 07, 2026, 02:33:40 PMWe have scoring coming from all lines.
Line matching you really want to have best on best. Top lines not only have scoring chances because of puck possession, but prevent scoring chances defensively because they are controlling the puck. You're always at all levels going to have stronger and weaker lines/players and coaches are trying to find the best chemistry between all of them. It is a little less science than it is jazz.

getting a little tired of the goals we don't score

Hockey jazz?

I said it.

I'd imagine the entire team is sitting in the back row of Bio 120.

(WS 101 should be a prerequisite for that course)

Promo for tickets in sections D or E - buy a ticket and get one for $3. Not bad!

Quote from: The Rancor on January 05, 2026, 04:19:32 PMRyan Walsh has nearly an identical stat line as Gavin McKenna, who's going number 1 in the draft (maybe). If I told you that at the beginning of the season, you wouldn't put a dime on that bet. I'll take my chances with Walsh and his extra inch and 25 pounds of grit.

in college? sure, i can see it. but in the draft!?

Well, yes. College, probably not the draft.

That's the thing about scoring. If it was so easy, everyone would do it .
As it stands, after 13 games, only 4 skaters have zero points, three of them have skated one game only. We don't have a blue chip super star, and the scoring is pretty spread around.

This is great, thank you!
