Cornell Alumni in the Pros: April 2012

[ftyuv]

Not a Cornellian, but an ECAC alumus, the much maligned Hyphen is still hanging on in the lower professional ranks.

Shades of misogyny aside, someone shouting "we respect your decision to keep your maiden name!" at hyphen at the 2005 ECAC finals is still the best comment I've ever heard.

+1

A bit off-topic (but what are postseason threads for?), but my favorite was when we were playing UVM. I don't remember the exact working, but during a lull in play one of my friends called out, "Hey UVM! Only two states voted for Taft in his 1912 reelection campaign -- one was Utah, and the other was YOU!" I think the whole section turned around to give him this "::screwy::" look. Priceless.

For Cornell alumni content, he's teammates with Evan Barlow and Joe Devin.  

They're also teammates with some dude named Wacey Rabbit, which might be my favorite hockey name ever because it makes me think of Elmer Fudd saying "wascally wabbit".

2nd only to Bear Trapp.

Other non-CU ECACers doing well include Andy McDonald. He is wreaking havoc on the Douglas Murray's Sharks. The fact that the Blues goalie, Brian Elliott, is also doing quite well does not at all make this series more palatable for CU or Sharks fans. ::cuss::

Clearly, we need to break out the Robert LaFollette taunts the next time we play Wisconsin.

I don't think they'd be voting that way today.

Of course not. Taft is dead.

So although dead people vote it is inappropriate to vote for the dead?

A little random and late, but a bit of nostalgia when Greening scored on Brad Thiessen last month:

Article II doesn't actually specify that candidates for President must be alive.

Of course not. It's perfectly acceptable to vote for dead people.

Tell that to Horace Greeley.

Today the Marlies are HD. on in the Capital District on ch. 3 & 1803 which is HD.  Toronto up 3-2 after two.

Actually, Greeley was alive at the time of the election. He died shortly afterwards.

Marlies won 4-3.  Between periods there was a Marlies feature that included Ben.

Right, but he died before the electoral college met, and although some electors tried to vote for him, congress refused to certify their votes.
