Second title ever, first outright.

Goddammit.

I think a little part of my soul just died.

Ah, the Ivy League hockey title. That and five cents will get you...

another banner on the rafters.

That's a pretty cheap banner. They must be using unregistered immigrant labor in Jersey.

KeithK · February 17, 2008, 08:21:49 PM

Considering that it's banner that I like to have I will not disparage it.

All six contenders have now won within a five year period.

I like winning the Ivy League title also. In the Dalmatian Spectrum (TM) it ranks ahead of any Belts, right behind the Cleary and well behind the Whitelaw.

We're returning to childhood. Nothing makes you covet a no-longer favored toy as when your sister wants to play with it.

Well, unlike most of the posters here, I've never cared about the Ivy League title. Paraphrasing what I've posted before, I'll start caring when all 8 Ivy League schools have D1 hockey teams.

My sentiments exactly. The ECAC title (and beyond) is the only thing that matters to me.

Which reminds me of a quote from Ken Dryden on his recruiting by Harkness. Maybe someone has the exact quote, but it goes something like "Princeton (where he was supposed to go) told me they were building for the Ivy (or ECAC) title, Harknes said he was going for the NCAA."

I should probably clarify my point from above, especially since I never actually made it.

I would certainly prefer that Cornell win the Ivy League hockey title rather than incur the losses that come with not winning it. Plus it's another banner, and it does come with a pretty nice trophy. But unlike in, say, basketball or lacrosse, winning the Ivy League title in hockey has absolutely no bearing on the postseason, ECAC or NCAA. So I tend not to attach any real significance to it, sacrilegious though that may be.

Case in point: what do you remember from the 2003-04 season -- that Cornell won the Ivy title (shared with Brown), or the Quarterfinal Series That Never Happened? ::scream::

I smile every time I see this.
