Quote from: nshapiroWhen we were visiting college campuses with my kids, we always picked up the campus paper to check out the quality of the writing. I don't know if my son would be at Cornell now if this article is a representative sample.  Hopefully it is just the sports section that is illiterate.  I might blame the editor, but there is little evidence that there was an editor.

It's been bad for years. It's really just very clear that the writers, try as they might, simply aren't familiar with hockey terminology nor the ins-and-outs of the game. Goalies "blocking" shots, forwards "hitting" the puck into the net. I'm sure they're doing their best with whats available at the sun, but its verylikely they don't have a big hockey fan on staff - at least not every year.

Toronto and five other Canadian NHL franchises won't make the playoffs. Only Montreal is in. Happened in 1973, too.

Montreal isn't in.

Quote from: TrotskyAccording to USCHO, SLU loses junior Christian Horn to the pros.  I had never heard of him.  He was 4-9-13 in 30 GP of SLU's 37.

Must be more to that story, leaving college voluntarily to play in the SPHL doesn't add up.

Albany is great. Nice rink, lots of hotels, bars, restaurants in the vicinity of the rink. Seems to be somewhat the geographic center of the league, though I'm sure some other place with a decent rink is more central (Bridgeport? Hartford?) Wonder if a potential RIT addition might make somewhere like Syracuse, Binghamton or even Elmira more viable.

Good read. Interesting to note that he calls Yale their biggest rival.

Quote from: martyYes, I'm with Jim, there is no NESN on Time Warner.

Tim, Al?
Anyone?

You need a bar that has the Directv Sports Pack.

Does anyone which bar that might be, in Ithaca?

I didn't realize that TWC Does not even offer NESN.    Shame on TWC...::asshole::

I'd call the Fall Creek House or Uncle Joe's if I were you.

Game will be broadcast live on SNY (Sportsnet New York - Same channel as the Mets, etc.) for those who get the channel.
