A nice article on the 1979 Boston v. Montreal playoff series and the "Too Many Men" call that sent game 7 into OT. It fits here, because Dryden was in goal for Montreal, his last season in the NHL.

Quote from: Josh '99Oh, the reason I posted this here and not in a new thread is because Ben Scrivens was on the bench in favor of James Reimer. (I feel like that conversation has been had before.) Perhaps Scrivens will get a shot in Canada's next game, against Slovakia tomorrow.
Canada went with Scrivens against Slovakia on Saturday and were rewarded with a 4-1 win. Scrivens stopped 23 of Slovakia's 24 shots and Slovakia's one goal came on the power play. Canada play next against the Czech Republic later today.

Reimer was back in net for Canada in their 4-3 win over the Czechs yesterday and saved 31 of 34 shots. Scrivens is still better.

Ben Scrivens made 29 saves in Canada's 6-1 win over Denmark yesterday.

When should we expect Cornell to put out the release identifying the hockey recruits entering this fall?

They're ordering a style pack option for MS Office called Upbeat Synonyms. Put in "5-foot-7" and it returns scrappy, spirited, hustle, coachable.

Interesting. At ESPN, that's just the definition of "white."

She is a good interview and her description of how teams/players back in her day traveled to road games compared to today was amusing.

The painter/part-time coach was Bill Duthie '71 who played for Ned. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a result of his contributions and success with the women's hockey program, including 6 consecutive Ivy championships. He may no longer be coaching the women's team but he continues to be a painting contractor in the Ithaca area.

She did color on a women's game a few years ago. She was the best hockey commentator I've ever heard.

Canada went back to Reimer for their final preliminary round game against Norway (won 3-2, Reimer gave up 2 goals on 16 shots). Scrivens got the start in the QF against Finland and unfortunately didn't get the job done; Canada led 2-1 after 2 periods, outshooting Finland heavily throughout, but Finland tied it less than a minute into the third and got the go-ahead goal with just over three minutes left. Overall, he gave up three goals on 26 shots; Pekka Rinne stopped 36 of 38 to earn the win.

Not Cornell alum related, but also not deserving of its own thread...

I can't be the only one who finds it weird to be rooting FOR Dominic Moore now.

No. No you're not. Moore and a Keebler elf.

I picked all the best teams when I was five, so I'm not a Rangers fan, but I root for NY teams if my teams are out. I probably liked the Islanders better for a few years until they traded Moulson and vaporized a few draft picks in the process, but oh well.

Strange to see the Rangers won, be happy, and then see Moore scored the goal and be kinda pissed.
