St. Lawrence 0 @ Cornell 1, Final

[hypotenuse]

I am sorry to say I am old enough that I was at that Harvard game where Dave Elenbaas was greeted with the chicken. I offred the program to the Cornell archives last reunion.

Being a Cornell hockey fan means knowing that "greeted with the chicken" isn't a euphemism.

[hypotenuse]

Indeed. We did win that game, by the way.

Anybody else bow down in front of their computer when Ben made those saves?

I would give the third star to either Greening,M.Kennedy or Krueger.

I'm not a B. Nash fan, and when you have 3 of your team's 7 penalties (one of the 7 as too many men), I think you'd have to score a hat trick to be considered a star.  Perhaps it was meant to be R. Nash, not B. Nash?

[BMac]

It depends on when- during the intermission, some drunk dudes were sing just "hey baby." During the second, with the band's help, it was Baby, as in the player.

[BMac]

Clearly a 5-min, by the way. 100% textbook. Grossly dirty. M. Kennedy could have gotten very seriously hurt.

Nope, I distinctly remember the color guy giving it to Brendon and offering some kind of explanation, while I was simply thinking "wtf?"

Box Score has:

1. Greening
2. Scrivens
3. Gallagher

That sounds about right.

Man, now that reminds me of the ill-fated ECAC playoff series against Clarkson in 2004.  We were leading them either 5-0 or 4-0 in game one, down to the last few minutes, and a guy down my row said:

"Hey, you know which cheer we haven't gotten to do in awhile?  It's Friday night, and you can't--"

*red light goes off*

"Aaaaaargh!"

And we know how the story of that series ends...[/quote]

The way I remember it, some idiots near me started the keys with 4 or so minutes left, which technically fit into the equation since it was a 5-0 lead, but there should be an implicitly obvious rider to that rule that YOU DON'T DO IT DURING A FUCKING SHUTOUT!

Well, all the keys are saying is that you lose. Unless you believe in some weird superstition, that shouldn't say anything about a shutout, shutout or not they still lose. I think we get way too critical about how people cheer. Let's be happy they do it; no one can say that only the people who post here know the correct way. I hate the prolonged die, but that's the way 98% want to do it, so what!

So, I don't see that everything we say is implicitly obvious, and I can still enjoy the game and atmosphere. We still out-cheer the rest, so go and enjoy it.
