Cornell 3 US U18 NDT 3 (final, ot)

How was the crowd?  Was the student side full?

Was anybody else surprised to see Riley Nash on the PK?  Is it possible Schafer is actually trying to make Riley a better player by forcing him to play on the PK?

No. I know they were selling single game tickets to Sections D, E, F, and G on Saturday. They also gave away about 100 seats to the women's basketball, men's lacrosse, and I think one other team. I guess that can be Athletics' new strategy: However many unsold seats there are for each game are given to members of another sports team.

[quote profudge]Jim Hyla,  

5 Min major to Brendan Nash happened about a half a second or so after whistle to end the period....   USA player relaxed and was going to the door to bench which was starting to open and Brendan drove him with shoulder + body to the back into the boards just next to opening door to bench  -  looked dumb and not thinking from stands just 7 rows above where it occurred.   - I think part of it was the USA player had relaxed and straightened up a bit - so hit really sent him flying  - plus opening bench door made it look (maybe was) dangerous![/quote]

Thanks, it sounds like it was justified.

That's possible.  Mike may also be saying that Riley is one of his best PKers.  Not sure whether that says more about Riley or the PK.

Yeah, I'll agree with ebilmes there. I was pleasantly surprised to see A and B at capacity, though. G and H were quite empty, as was K.

F was filled by men and women's b-ball and men's lacrosse, celebrating their successful 07-08 seasons, which was quite nice. Though clearly it was because they had a ton of extra tickets.

Finally, has anyone noticed there's no Section I???

Really?  You just noticed that?  I've been using that as a joke for 15 years.  "I'll meet you over behind section I"

But at least they left Section O. Maybe that's because they were concerned about cheers for section P. "Section P sucks." for example.

Er... if they hadn't left out Section I, the last section would be Section N.  ::dribble::

Yes, and your point about N is? My point is that, presuming they left out I because some might confuse it with 1, if they also left out O, so as to not confuse with 0, then we'd have P.

Yeah, how did you not get that, Beeeej?

I always thought they omitted "I" because it can be confused with "J" in both upper and lowercase forms, and a lowercase "L."  Turns out the real reason was explained in an "Uncle Ezra" question from Feb. 20, 1997.  http://ezra.cornell.edu/posting.php?timestamp=856414800#question9

Dear Uncle Ezra,
Why does Lynah Rink not have a section i?

                                                                  I wonder

Dear Observant,
According to Gene Beavers, Lynah Rink Manager (EAB21@Cornell.edu), Lynah Rink used to have a section "I", back when season tickets were for sections and not for seats.  You could take the "I" season ticket and easily change it so it looked like an "L"...and "L" was behind the player's box.  So the "I" was eliminated.
        Thanks, Gene!

So basically, you could upgrade to center ice seats with a pen.

That was supposed to be a Q.  They messed up the paint job during the renovations.

Must have left my Hyla-to-Esperanto dictionary at home.
