Favorite players of the Schafer era

[stereax]

[Quick edit to say, since I only started watching Cornell hockey this year I think I'm automatically disqualified from actually participating in this one, but holy shit that's hysterical.]

Why would you be disqualified?  Plenty of us fell in love with Cornell hockey soon after we witnessed our first game (or during that game, even).  Your memory of Cornell hockey may be shorter than most of ours but it is by no means less valid.

I mean... you're right, but it's... I dunno. It doesn't feel like memories of the Schaefer era, per se. Y'know?

YouTube review time

Some watch this channel.  ::crazy::

Will have to check it out when I have a minute

Castagna made that play when he was only 18, his freshman year.

Matt Moulson

...and I am surprised no one mentioned him at all. One of Cornell's all time greats, both at the University and in the NHL.

Still my play by play name when playing NHL online with friends.

[Jim Hyla]

Stephen Baby

Totally agree. He was All-Everything when he played.

Vesce and he were 1 & 2 in points for the 3 years they played together, Vesce was a year later.

But Baby was always out there whenever needed, in any situation, Offense, Defense, PP or  PK. He'd be the first skater out in any situation. Except when he was in the Box. After-all there is a reason the band still plays his song, and why the fans still know his name. (Even if they know nothing about him.)

If I was drafting a fantasy team, he'd be #2, right behind Lodboa.

I'm only correcting Jim because I know he'd correct me ... they only played 2 years together - Vesce was 2000-04 - Moulson was 2002-06

but they were indeed both great to watch.

Baby had a unique ability to show up in clutch situations.

David LeNeveu was incredible to watch, even though Ben Scrivens was even more lovable.

My all-Schafer team, purely for the feels, not talent.

F Topher Scott
F Mitch Carefoot
F Mitch Vanderlaan
F Jack O'Leary
F Cole Bardreau
F Greg Hornby
F Cam Donaldson
F Kyle Knopp
F Teemu Tiitenen
F Dan Svoboda
F Shane Palahicky
F Kryztoff Wieckowski

D Matt Nuttle
D Jeff Burgoyne
D Sam Malinski
D Brian McMeekin
D Jared Seminoff
D Justin Krueger

G Hayden Stewart
G Omar Kanji

This I can do, since one isn't enough:

F Colin Greening
F Brad Chartrand
F Matt Moulson
F Mitch Vanderlaan
F Ryan Vesce
F Mike Iggulden
F Jeff Oates
F Matt Cooney
F Mitch Carefoot
F Greg Hornby
F Cam Abbott

XF Jon Castagna

D Mark McRae
D Doug Murray
D Steve Wilson
D Jeremy Downs
D Dan Dufresne
D Michael Suda
XD Jason Kendall

G Ben Scrivens
G Dave LeNeveu
G Eddy Skazyk

The forwards are 1st line, 2nd line, etc., as are the D.

Castagna is coming off the bench to sneak down the slot, and Kendall is coming off the bench to start a fight.

I am yet agog regarding the defensive talent on that 2003 team. I mean, I had to leave Charlie Cook off to fit in others! There has never been a more perfect pairing than Murray and McRae, in my opinion.

On the goalies, no question that LeNeveu was better technically, but Scrivens is the goalie that can steal a game. So could Eddy!

I drove through Vaudreuil-Dorion, PQ earlier tonight.  The hometown of Sasha Pokulok.  I really enjoyed the way he brought the puck up the ice.  It was fun watching him those two seasons through his ups and downs.  I wish he had stuck around to finish his development.  I can't blame him though for trying to capitalize on his draft status.
