No bus, there are tickets (check with Cornell Ticket Office early in the week if you want to sit in the Cornell section), probably like 8-12 bucks--not too bad.  Stick around for Saturday and you'll get to watch the game in an awesome barn.

I bought tickets from Cornell last night and they still had some. However they have to send them back Tuesday I was told, so if you want some call Monday. There must be some people driving up. I am, but only from Syracuse.

Clarkson getting crushed 6-1 about halfway through the third at Colorado College so the Championship Belt stays in the WCHA. Clarkson lost 5-2 last night.

Collegehockeystats put Riley as first star. I like the radio pick of Barlow. It was his terrific pass that got the winning goal.

Even if there isn't a bus I highly recommend taking the trip. Clarkson is a big game, and like redhair said Saturday at Appelton is a great rink.

I didn't even have a place to stay when I went (should've know there weren't enough hotels in Potsdam to satisfy the faithful). A Clarkson fan offered up his apartment to my friends and I while he spent the rest of his night in jail after being arrested for multiple reasons. Add to that the weather being absolutely freezing, and how is that not your typical North Country trip?

For those in a similar situation, I'd recommend looking in Odgensburg or Massena (I've stayed at hotels/motels in both towns after the Friday night game), especially if you plan on going to Ottawa during the day on Saturday.      Both choices are probably better options than a jail cell. :-P

Can't remember there having been a CHA bus to Clarkson/St. Lawrence before... it's an extremely long trip.  I suspect we'd have heard about it by now.  Is there a rideboard somewhere on any Cornell website these days?  Or you could try Craigslist and/or Facebook.  I know some Lynah Faithful make the trip every year, just not as many as for most away games because of the remote location.[/quote]The old CUInfo ride board page http://www.cuinfo.cornell.edu/Student/RideBoard/ sends you to ZimRide, a service of Facebook http://www.zimride.com/.

Amazing game. Cornell controlled posession almost all game long and Scrivens was rock solid- this seemed kind of like an '04-05 game. WHOA! I CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID THAT!

I'm very, very happy with this game. Many guys hurt, hostile rink, patience and focused, measured rage. Controlled win. Almost no dumb penalties, and an Iggulden-like 2-minutes-left goal with great patience.

BTW, are ALL colgate cheers just Lynah copies? From the TV, it sounded like all they have is "let's go gate" and "and they still suck."

Also, Scali has got to slow down on the shortie attempts and one-time them- second time this weekend!

And imafrshmn was quite clearly on TV with his blue hat after the ENG.

Awesome game!

OK last thought- the highlights from yesterday were sweet. Scrivens had a divine kick-save and Greening split two defenders so bad he broke some guy's stick. Can I call him Iggulden from now on? If this guy stays, he's gonna be incredible.

Somehow, I doubt that the Lynah Faithful invented either "Let's Go [Monosyllabic Team Descriptor]!" or "[Opposing Team] returns to full strength...AND THEY STILL SUCK!"  This still doesn't take away from the fact that Colgate student fans are among the worst fans in the ECAC, if not all of D-I hockey.

Sweet!  

Good game last night.  Our team D and PK are looking real good.  The thing that concerns me, as others have talked about, is that we don't generate a ton of scoring opportunities and when we do, we haven't been the keenest in capitalizing on them, so it's gonna be hard to win down the stretch unless we expect to limit the opposition to 1 goal a game which is optimistic.  Another note, Scott and Sawada are really missing Mike Kennedy.  Patrick has a long way to go in his development.  Pray that Mike's injury won't keep him out for much longer.

At this point, pretty much most of the cheers that many of us think are traditional "Lynah cheers" are done everywhere in one form or another.  Blame the internet, blame people picking up things gradually from visiting fans. Even Union does "It's all your fault!" now.  UNION!!!  The only things I used to hear at Achilles out of their fans were "Red and White make pink!  You're gay!"

About the only unique cheers for other ECAC teams I can think of:

Clarkson @ 1 minute announcement:  OooooooooooKAY!!!  And xxxx still sucks!
RPI on a penalty announcement: "penalty on #xx, Joe Opponent"  SUCKS!!  "Two minutes for" SUCKING!!!
