Hockey @ Princeton this Saturday

[arugula]

It was wonderful walking up the old ramps to get into the Garden. I could feel my body get excited with each step.

I know this feeling from 85 and 86.  I've never been as thrilled to enter into any other barn.

I was also there those years.  Crazy loud atomosphere.  The timbers at the Garden truly swayed, which may have had something to do with shoddy construction too.  I recall the 1986 double ot semi-final game with Clarkson and being worried that the T would stop for the night.  My late roommate and I stood along with everyone else for basically the entire night, which in the Gahden sometimes meant banging your head on the overhang.

I remember that in the corners at the top of the rink the seats were all over the place and the rows lost their integrity.  It was like the top of an ear of corn.  :-)

The 86 ECAC SF is still the most exciting game I've ever seen, and the greatest performance by a Cornell goalie I have been present for.

If you had asked me then, I would have said dadswell was more likely to have the great nhl career than Joe.

I don't know about that, but when Joe scored 50 in his first couple years I was dumbstruck.

Funny, my wife is a Yale grad and her friend was friends with Mike Schwalb who was in the nets for Yale the next night, so I've heard a bit of being on the other side of Dadswell's hot streak.  Good Yale team with Randy Wood but the Red were not being stopped that year, at least not in the ECAC.

Wait a second, I'm getting (am) old.  Got it all reversed.  Yale was the double ot semi.  Duh

we havent played at the level of the bad teams as much as we havent scored given all the chances..  

we outshot union by over 10 on the road and tied.

quin we played an avg game at the stats show it as an even game

dartmouth we lost but we out shot them 40-17.. thats just the way hockey goes some nights
dart game 38-22 and another close game but good effort

harvard was the game that we probably deserved to lose out shot by 13 at home..  

but harvard has played way below their talent level all yr.

we will know in 3-4 weeks whether we have leveled off our just hit the mid yr lull with the break..

[Trotsky]

Welp.  This is happening.  There's one stinker every year.

[ugarte]

Welp.  This is happening.  There's one stinker every year.

i thought the statcast was glitching

we had 2 spurts of cycling where we produced tons of chances but other than that little zone time.

Quin has gotten goals on the pinch and some good bounce rebounds but this looks just like the harvard game, no pressure and very sloppy D.

we went 2 months with solid games and now its been several in a row and not great effort.

We had some huge road crowds in the early 2000s. I remember being at Yale games where it seemed like at least half of the rink consisted of Cornell fans.

Cripe! It's hard to think of 15 years ago as being the good old days. Then I looked and the mirror and I saw a Do Not Resuscitate waiver staring back. My take on "If thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee." Even millennials are starting to look real old.

Yep, my nephew, who I remember holding when he was only 17 days old, just turned 20.  

Face it, Bill.  We're old.

The most poignant moment was when a friend at the Springfield Newspapers, my first stop on the pro circuit, looked at his firstborn and said, I can see myself dancing at her wedding. Fast-forward 30 years and he is. Tick, tick,
