Except it turned out Iggy could score goals. Who knew?

[quote Josh '99]This sounds a bit like comments some Cornell fans made in 2005 when it was said that that year's senior class (Knoepfli, Iggulden, Varteressian, Cook, Downs) wasn't going to be a huge loss with the strong rising senior class returning (Moulson, Hynes, Pegoraro, Abbott, Abbott, Gleed).  Now, obviously Clarkson's rising senior class is REALLY deep, but even so, I believe the parallel stands.[/quote]

I, for one, new that class would be irreplaceable. Man, that was a good year of Cornell hockey to watch, right up there with 02-03.

Ha... It would not have been the first time my brain has failed me at 2 in the morning, and it definitely won't be the last! Darn sleeping habits have eliminated any possibility of me having insomnia; rather, I keep myself up until my eyelids collapse under the weight of my exhaustion. Now that I think about it... it's probably more appropriate for me to wonder if I am now nocturnal!

Edit note... I, ironically, forgot to insert the word "brain" in my first sentence. How's that for calling your shot?

Other than using some big words that don't mean what you think they mean, not at all.  :-)  Your insight is welcome here.[/quote]
Dude, do you have to be a pompous asshole everytime you post?
Go watch Caddyshack.

Yes, as a matter of fact.  Yes, I do.  And you have to take things I say way too seriously and overreact to them, even when they're clearly meant in jest and friendship.  It's in the fine print.

Great post.  If your information is accurate and you continue to post with this level of respect, I am really looking forward to reading more of your posts in the future.

Let me echo the kudos on your well written and informative post.
See what others are saying:
  "The feel good post of the off season" - Roger Ebert
  "The kind of post that you actually read all the way through before     replying" - Gene Shallit
But I am also writing becuase I want to ask a question. You clearly have access to info that others don't. This invariably makes one wonder who you are and how you know such things. I can respect your desire for anonymity but perhaps you could just let us know something like:
1. Just an informed and gregarious fan
2. Friend of someone on the coaching staff
3. Hockey Dad or Mom (parent of a player)
4. Clarkson fan toying with our emotions like a yo-yo just for fun
etc.
P.S. If Beeej's comment annoyed you then just drop an "e" from his name. It drives him crazy.

Some of us narrowed him down pretty quickly with just one click.

Bully for you.

You are too kind. I have no problem answering your question, though I am sure that there will be topics in the future I simply must refrain from commenting on. I humbly ask that in those times my choice will be understood, as I will remain silent purely because I think it is my best course of action.

With another disclaimer (I have no idea where they are coming from, btw) out of the way, the answer to your question:




None of those. **] To give you something of substance, though... probably an amalgamation of 1 and 2, I guess one could say.



And in attempt to possibly clear something up... I have no problem with Beeeeeeeeeej's (too many e's?) initial post in the thread. I have long had a habit of stretching the meanings of words I particularly enjoy so that they might haphazardly fit into my context (I think it's rooted in my growing up in a household with a know-it-all older sister). So by him taking exception to my word-selection is really no surprise to me; quite the contrary, as I would be most surprised if no one called me out on my inherent egregious grammatical and diction errors.



Edit note: I realized I really provided no answer at all the first time around, so I attempted to give something of value, which with this being only my 4th post remains decidedly subjective in my mind.

Sure thing, just as soon as I catch up to all the shit I took defending him.
