Looking at the top of that list, I'm trying very hard not to too excited about our chances too soon.  That's heady company.

Don't!! Having seen all of them, by no means are we as dominant as those teams were. Of course, it's not a fair comparison, since no one will ever be that dominant again. (He says with utmost confidence.::uhoh:: )

But really, as I've said before, enjoy it, we could go all the way. But it' still a young team, and if they start to lose, it's possible that everything will unravel.

If that happens, remember, you shouldn't have been that praising, so don't end up being that critical.

And that's a generic you, not refering specifically to abmarks.

Just enjoy the moment.::drunk::

Not a bad game yesterday. It was obvious from the start that Cornell was the better team in terms of talent but that didn't mean it was going to be easy. Dartmouth's gameplan for most of the night was to clog the neutral zone, use a bit of a forecheck and try to capitalize on any confusion or turnovers. It worked to keep the game even for most of the 60 minutes but Cornell was able to capitalize on a few key opportunities. Galajda wasn't tested too much for most of the game but was ready to make the save whenever a shot was about to come.


The turnout at the game wasn't bad, but there were still plenty of empty seats. A lot of local kids and families were at the game--hardly any actual Dartmouth students from what I could see. While driving around Hanover, I did see the Dartmouth band walking to the rink and in fact, they were at the rink for the whole game. However, they were hardly noticeable or audible except for their parade before the start of the 3rd period. As usual, the canned music was annoying and for whatever reason it has been amped up at Thompson Arena for the past few years.


I did manage to get 2 of the goals from where I was sitting (here and here), but it would seem that the ECAC actually put up highlights of the game quickly this weekend (for once).

Were it not for Cornell fans and Cornell band, the arena might be a quiet place for the D band to study.

A pretty gutty effort by the team this past weekend.  Schafer mentioned several times how they could not go full out in practice last week because soo many of the team members were sick.  To go on the road and beat those two teams when you are not 100% is a testament to their will and desire to maintain their level of play.

that record from 67-70 is just crazy

As a proud member of the class of '74:

As a proud member of the class of '95 who missed just one home game in four years (it was over winter break), well, I'm pretty sure I deserve a medal for the W-L records I endured. :-)

We need a few of these robocams hanging from Lynah's rafters.  What are we waiting for?!

[billhoward]

Yeah, I saw those, too, in the webcast. Not sure what for since something like that is more a security or Facebook camera. Plus there's the danger they'll send Cornell secrets back to the PRC.

PRC already has our secrets.
