[quote Cornell95]from the TV coverage (I didnt have audio, apparently sports bars are doing Friday night Karaoke these days?)... you wouldnt have known there was a single Cornell fan, or even anyone wearing something red ::wtf::[/quote]

There was that lady wearing a red UND sweatshirt.  Apparently she didn't know the colors of the other team playing.

Me plus one (maybe more?) for Friday!

I'm not sure what you could possibly do with this, but UND has a kick-ass aviation program.  Perhaps a fight (Cornell)/flight (UND) joke?

[quote tretiak]what's the appropriate time for the first "where is richter" chant? starting line-ups, first goal?

i'm making up a list of notorious harvard alumni who cheated...
1. richter, who cheated on a test
2. teddy kennedy, who cheated on a spanish test
3. eliot spitzer, who cheated on his wife
4. former enron ceo jeffrey skilling, who cheated people out of their savings
5. mark zuckerbug, who cheated people of their privacy with facebook's news feed (a stretch i know)

is there anyone else? maybe a way to say teddy kaczynski (the unabomber) cheated?[/quote]

What about that chick that plagiarized her book?  Was she Harvard or some other non-Cornell Ivy?

Edit: Kaavya Viswanathan is indeed a Harvard alumna, according to IvyGate, my fave Ivy League blog.

[quote Trotsky]From the "Oddities" file.  Schafer as coach has a perfect record in Game 3 of the season (14-0-0).  This is true of no other game, and hasn't been since he lost a Game 21 in the 2003-04 season after being 8-0-0.[/quote]
It scares me that your statistic-keeping is such that you know this.

On a side note, moving to California has thrown off my Cornell hockey schedule...I missed this game not because I forgot it was tonight but because I forgot it was at 4:30 PST. ::help::

[quote RichH]
Now, I live in central CT, and I'm struggling to comprehend the obsessive provincial compulsion of many locals to associate with the concept of "New England" here.  Not only is this place nothing like VT, NH, and Maine, but most absolutely laugh at the idea that Central NYS could have things like fall foliage, maple syrup, outdoor activities (both lake and mountain-based), and harsher winter weather.  For some, there might as well be a wall built at the NY-CT border, even though the Hudson Valley is closer than Boston.[/quote]

I'm from Connecticut!  And yes, it's not like VT, NH, and Maine, but it is like Southern New England - Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and itself.  There are also a LOT of people that regularly travel into Northern New England, but not so much outside the region, to ski, to visit family, to go to summer camps, or to summer houses.  I don't know many people that cross the border to do that, unless they were originally from outside New England.  And except for the western third of CT, we pretty much all like the Boston teams (except for hockey, where there are still a lot of Whalers fans who've scattered their allegiances).  We're a region for a reason.

But you're right - we draw a line at the NY border and pretending that the rest of the United States can't compare is silly.

Now, back to the discussion of Eliot Spitzer and his hooker

[quote Josh '99][quote jtwcornell91]This sounds like a whole lot of FUD.  We know almost nothing about the new service and yet you're convinced the sky is falling on the customer service front.  OTOH, CSTV explicitly designed their webcast last year to work only on a single browser/OS combination, sticking their finger in the eye of Mac and Linux users.  At least we know the new system is supposed to work on a wider array of platforms.[/quote]You know, I think there should be a rule on the Internet:  If you choose to use an OS that everyone *knows* isn't universally supported, you forfeit the right to complain when it's not supported.  :-P[/quote]

[quote Liz '05]I like living close enough to make trips like this  Barring some academic crisis (or cross-country to California), I'll be there.[/quote]

Damn cross-country to California!

[quote ForkEmDevils]It is time that everyone must realize McKee was the product of a defensive orientated system at its height.[/quote]

I can't speak for everyone on this board, obviously, but what you're saying isn't much of a shock to me.  Leneveu and McKee both left Cornell with at least one season of ridiculously good numbers, and have struggled some in the professional ranks.  We knew that Cornell's skaters blocked a ton of shots, so that the typical shot these goalies were seeing was low-quality.  We also knew McKee wasn't as mechanically sound as Lenny, but he made it work and definitely improved while at Cornell.

I'll still be cheering for him, though, because he's a Cornellian, one that I saw play every weekend in person for two seasons, and because his parents are so incredibly nice.  I'm not suggesting he be deified or that the management of the professional teams are idiots, but I want him to have the best possible chance to improve his play and get to the next level - and a goalie logjam isn't really helpful in getting him playing time.

Very interesting, ursusminor.  Thanks!

2010 and 2011. Cornell's commitment to fledgling programs goes beyond hockey.[/quote]

If I'm in Norfolk in 2011, I'm going.  Who's with me? :-P

[quote ftyuv]What I want to know is... is he getting two minutes for hooking, boarding, spearing or roughing?  And is the woman getting a matching minor for holding the stick?  Speaking of matching minors....[/quote]

I'm pretty sure she was the one hooking.

jeh, my comment was going to be "But is it pretty?" I think you've summed it up in about 100 times more words, though

[quote Swampy]Big Red Puckhead is reporting another recruit, Vince Mihalek (5', 10", 175) of the USHL Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, has committed presumably for 2009. Here is the link http://www.bigredpuckhead.blogspot.com/.[/quote]

That looks like a fun name to shout
