Cornell vs St Lawrence 02/22

Also just wanted to say - when dss28 and I recorded a very brief video (under 30 seconds) with our toddler Isaac to submit for Schafer's farewell (because without him leading the team, she and I likely never would have met), we did not expect it to get any attention among what we thought would surely be dozens if not hundreds of submissions. The fact that they played it during the game, and Isaac's "Go red!" to close it out got a laugh from the Faithful, just absolutely gave us life and warmed our hearts to an extent that it still has not faded a couple of days later.

It also more than made up for the fact that at the very first game of his life the night before, Isaac threw up a little on the very understanding woman in front of us. ::doh::

I cannot wait for many, many future trips to Lynah with our son.

It seems to me like the team has finally gotten to a place where they're consistently playing pretty well, but it's probably too late now. Too late for an at-large bid surely and likely also for a bye, and the injuries and lack of consistency in the lineup have made it so that the team still can't build cohesion. If the season were half over I'd think Cornell could finish well, but I think the hole they had to dig out of was too deep and it's very remote that Cornell strings together a bunch of wins in a row to win the ECAC, particularly if they don't get a bye. If no bye, I think the odds are well under 10%.

He was in good company.  Many of us at the rink felt nauseous in the 3rd period.

Congrats on your wonderful son.

The past two weekends we have seen the potential of two of our most important offensive players get rediscovered (Walsh+Bancroft).  If the rumors are true about a Castagna return maybe there's enough season left for him to get some wind in his sails.  Still gotta get Robertson back as a driving force.  Charlie Major has the makings of a player.  The rest of this season is hopefully about extending Schafer's career and ruining a team or twos hopes.

That was terrific!  How come you didn't go for the tropical backdrop though?  Maybe for Casey's retirement you could step up your game!

Isaac's pronunciation probably won't be quite as adorable when he's in his thirties.

Oh noooo!!! Hoping everything is okay, hahah. The pilgrimages to Lynah must continue

Oh, totally, thank you. He was just a bit overwhelmed by it all, especially after a smidgen of carsickness on the long ride. And the woman's jacket was washable. :-)

O'Leary!
ACM: "The Cornell goal -- "
Bancroft!
ACM:  "No, not that one."

We got what must be an exceedingly rare "The *first* Cornell goal was..." call from Arthur.

Unusual maybe till this year. Most importantly in the Harvard game
Kraft at 1:16
Walsh at 1:23

I thought there was an earlier one, but can't find it. Maybe declining memory with age or an exhibition game.

I remember one from back in like 99 or 2000 when Arthur decided to hint to the team that it was in fact acceptable to score more than one.

I might be making that up, but in those days more than one was a pretty good night for the offense.
