You did the links just fine, but what does it have to do with Cornell hockey?

Just a tangent from the BU game.  Sorry if it was inappropriate.

Nice article, thanks. Beeeej tends to be ultra picky. Keep posting.

Well, there's the pickiness factor. And then there's the eLynah tradition of never letting a good deed go unpunished by a snarky comment. (Which I tend to embace most of the time.) Anyway, keep posting.

Why do you debase tradition?

That's fine.  But this is the Cornell Hockey discussion, not the college hockey discussion.  Of course out of town scores are relevant because they affect Cornell, and bashing our own rivals is just tradition.  But there should be some limit to what's appropriate, and I don't think an article about two other schools' rivalry in another conference really qualifies.  That said, it is just my opinion, and I didn't remove it, 'cause there are also limits to what I'll bother with when it comes to "policing."

I have removed some other posts in the past, though.  That's sometimes good fun.  ::banana::

That gets you an extra ass-kicking.

She obviously didn't know exactly what to do, and was asking for help. I can understand why she'd be confused since her possibilities were to post on:

"Men's Hockey", "Discussions about the Cornell men's hockey team" or

"Other Sports", "Discussions about sports other than men's hockey".

So when she's posting, which is appropriate, Cornell men's hockey or sports other than men's hockey?::pop::

Maybe "John Spencer is Dead", but not all would see it.

Rather than just give a terse "... but what does it have to do with Cornell hockey?", why not tell her what to do. That would help a new poster, who obviously cares to do it correctly.**]

Well, then, my answer would've been "Post it on USCHO."
