MSG: Red Hot Hockey

[Al DeFlorio]

still no plans for tv at this time

Noticed this when I was accessing the CU/Navy basketball game. So possibly here?

https://watchstadium.com/?s=Cornell

Thanks. There's an app, but apparently it can't stream the service's premium content (at least on iOS) which I assume the MSG game will be, so you need to use its web browser interface.

Roku, maybe?

I think Colgate(?) used stadium pre-espn+ and the roku app worked to stream it. I know I've watched cornell at least once that way.

I've watched Stadium on Roku but was puzzled by the comment above about "premium content" on Stadium.

Well, after last night's morale-boosting 4-0 setback against Sacred Heart in front of family and friends on home ice, BU heads to MSG with zero momentum and on the virtual Road to Perdition.

After all, this is a team that has scored the same number of goals (43) as their opponents, but has only managed to win 4 of 14 games. But when the defense gives up as many scoring chances as it does every game, it makes more sense.

I'd feel a whole lot better if BU could sneak Clayton Keller (would-be senior), Brady Tkachuk (would-be junior), Joel Farrabee (would-be sophomore), Dante Fabbro (would-be senior) and Jake Oettinger (would-be senior) into the lineup against Schafer's Marauders, but that won't be happening.

I just hope the Terriers decide to show up, because I know the Big Red certainly will. I also hope this doesn't turn into another similar disaster from many moons ago (31st anniversary approaching on 12/10!) when Cornell, powered by the likes of Rob Levasseur, Trent Andison and Casey Jones, put eight up on the board in an 8-2 thrashing of the Terriers at Boston Gahden. The Gahden, of all places! Never mind that BU came back to beat the Big Red 19 days later in the Syracuse Invitational, the damage had already been done. And I'd never get back those two wasted tanks of gas.

I've been to the first six RHH games but will be sitting this one out.

Enjoy the game -- I'm quite sure you folks will. Either 4-1 or 6-2 for the Ithaca squad.

Some great reverse psychology right there. Now, let's try some double reverse psychology. .... BU can't play any worse than Tuesday, they will be pumped by MSG. ... Cornell was last 8-0 in '71-72, when they lost to .... BU .... in the finals. And as for knowing Cornell will show up -- welp, there was last year....

The Hockey Gods punish reverse woofing even more strongly than vanilla woofing.

Hockey Gods aint nuthin to fuck with.

Swing and a miss, Ad.

I was merely expressing my thoughts about the outcome of the game and it had zero to do with using "reverse psychology" in any way.

Of course I'd like to see BU put it all together, play a solid 60 minutes, and knock off a talented and unbeaten team. But at this point of the season for both schools, that doesn't seem likely. That's it.

The Hockey gods may be nuthin to F with, but like Adam, you completely misread the intention of my post.

Perhaps if I had typed "enjoy your ninth straight win on Saturday night en route to a 37-0 record and a third National title for the Big Red" you would have a beef.

IMHO it just adds up to a likely Cornell W on Saturday night, in what I hope will be a close, well-played game. I just don't think BU is ready to knock off the No. 2 team in the nation at this point. Guess we'll find out.

I reckon I should've saved myself the time and postage it took to send you the Ned Harkness article from a late 1970s issue of Hockey Magazine all those years ago...

like Adam, you completely misread the intention of my post.

One possibility is both Adam and I missed the towering insight of your post.

Another is you are being teased.*

I leave it as an exercise for the reader.

* And quite gently for around here.  I for one am amazed you didn't attract a Typical / :-| autoreply.  Yet.  (oh crap, there's a third one I've forgotten.  Anybody?)

...

Not to speak for others but as someone whose been on this board for pretty much its entire life I'll just say that the Hockey Gods, jinx, reverse-jinx etc are bandied about here with tongue firmly in cheek and I think the replies you saw were meant as goodnatured ribbing/jokes premised on that. There's no reason for you to know that. I (and I think a lot of others) appreciate fans who come here into "enemy territory" and take part in civil conversations.

Figures.

[Trotsky]

Thanks.

Indeed, 'twas just ribbing - and my reply was meant to mitigate the wrath from the hockey gods
