Penn State announced its first NCAA Division I schedule today. The Nittany Lions will be visiting our friends in Schenectady the weekend after Thanksgiving.

That's a nice cupcake game for Union the same weekend we face Michigan.

Kris Mayotte is leaving Cornell to become an assistant coach at St. Lawrence. And, yet again, Cornell has no goalie coach. ::uhoh::

I think that you might be a little too presumptuous about the Michigan game. I am losing faith that it will occur with the passage of time.

Union's OOC schedule is lackluster. They've set up a schedule that they will all but need to win the Whitelaw to get into the NCAA Tournament. Their fans and bloggers are blissfully ignorant of that fact.

I think that Penn State has more of a chance against Union than most will admit. I've watched both teams (Penn State and Union) play. If Penn State gains dependable goaltending, they could defeat Union. Penn State has a new goaltender entering in the Fall too.

Agreed. They'd best hope that Merrimack continues to be good and that LSSU doesn't return to sucking egregiously.

I'm a bit disappointed for Penn State that they couldn't get a bit more bling to visit their barn. Quite a lackluster—to overuse a word—first season in D-I, if you ask me.

Running their OOC (or close) and the Cleary Spitoon (even with a few losses) would be enough, too. KRACH might not be impressed, but the PWR would be kinder.

I learned today that Quinnipiac fans (or at least some of them) begin counting down from 10 at 4:30 left in each period to 4:20.

I am willing to bet that they stole it from Brown.

We spent the Memorial Day weekend in Lake Placid and Friday night in a sports bar next to the rink watching the Devils-Rangers final game. The owner says he and a lot of people would love to see the ECACs back in LP (naturally; what else is going on then other then watching snow turn to mud?) and that the LP business assn doens't have its act together and that might be hurting LP support for a bid (what business owner ever thinks a business assn is well run?). I noticed a couple new or renewed hotels, even more if you count ones like the Courtyard Marriott up since the last ECAC LP tournament. Once again on a prime weekend, most have vacancy signs hung out. I think the best thing going for Lake Placid, as Adam noted, is that it's the one rink and town in our region with some sense of history. Lake Placid, Albany, and metro NYC are all okay for the next ECAC site.

I missed this article about the senior awards banquet. This thread seems as good as any to post it on.

I think this classifies as an entirely generic and possibly random off-season question.

I know that there is the panorama entitled Anthem available on the main eLynah page. However, I graduated after the recent renovations, so the picture from 2004 does not resemble what Lynah looked like while I was a student nor what it looks like currently. I was wondering if anyone knows if any similar high quality images/prints exist of Lynah that I could obtain or purchase.

I don't know if there is a similar but more recent picture, but I do know that Anthem looks even better in print than it does in digital form and you really should get a copy.

I will have to get a copy. Maybe my request was a little odd, but the picture is great even if it is not exactly what I experienced during my time there.
