If he hadn't done it, I would have, and also pointed out the spelling of numerous and Niagara.

I actually enjoyed the misspelling "numerice."  That takes creativity.

In four games since his suspension by the ECAC, Eric Burgdoefer has resumed his pursuit of the NCAA PIM record.

Feb 6 (vs. Union) 2 min, roughing
Feb 7 (vs. Union) 2 min, hooking, penalty shot for Union

Feb 13 (vs. Brown) 2 min interference, 10 minute misconduct
Feb 14( vs. Yale) none

He leads the team with 88 PIM and Rensselaer is still #3 in the nation behind Ferris St. and Mankato.

But don't you kind of miss having players like him?  (Well, not exactly like him, but you'll get the idea here.)

Mike Schafer  Sr  1986   91
Rob Levasseur So  1987   95
Dan Dufresne  So  1994   80
Matt Cooney   Jr  1996  104
Steve Wilson  Jr  1996   83
Greg Hornby   Jr  2003   98

All of them great performances of a kind.

The one-two punch of Cooney and Wilson was a sight to behold.  Cooney was like a guided missle, and Wilson was the best pest I've ever seen on a Cornell hockey team.  He absolutely infuriated opponents.

Maybe they were assholes, but they were our assholes.

Kind of funny that Dufresne had the lowest of the six listed above, given how we used to joke that the bench in the Cornell penalty box had "Reserved: Dan Dufresne" etched onto it.  And as guided missiles go, I think that's a more apt description of Hornby; Cooney had a great hit, but he rarely started setting it up a minute and a half beforehand using his psychic powers the way Hornby seemed to.

T'wasn't just a joke.  The old bench actually had that carved in it.

Agreed on Hornby.  Cooney's hits were timely and surgical in nature.  He was the perfect tool to blaze a trail for Chartrand. (God, I loved that line).  But Hornby locked in his target from across the ice.  It really was like a heat-seeker.  I enjoyed screaming "HORNBEEEEEE" and always getting the *BOOM* of the hit to punctuate it.

As for Steve Wilson, the word "agitator" comes to mind.

I hope someone thought to give it to him when they took it out.

How about them apples? If we had a few more players like this, we would have a chance at the NCAA title. In fact, some of them did.

Your list is also a good representation of guys who couldn't skate well.  Maybe they would have incurred fewer penalties if the NCAA allowed double runner skates.

I hope Bergdoerfer contributes a lot to the RPI effort on Friday night.  He can help Lange fish the puck out of his net after each goal.

As I mentioned at the time, Scali had a hit the other night reminiscent of early Hornby, when he was a somewhat less-guided missile, careening across the ice to line someone up.

As for Johnny Olds, I don't recall if he skated well or poorly.    But, I do know that his skates never stopped until the whistle blew.   Constant motion.   Fun to watch!!
