Cornell vs. Princeton--ECAC Semis

[andyw2100]

So literally anything is better than talking about Princeton hockey.

Insane thread drift is my favorite eLynah tradition.

Fixed your post.

So how many times during the 70s did you lose your virginity to Miracles?

My first prom was 1980 so it was probably this Wagnerian masterpiece.

I repeat: if you missed the 70s count yourself lucky.  A kidney stone of a decade.

Not going to click. Assume it was Kill Da Wabbit.

Personally, I'm just done in general hearing about eLynah regulars getting laid.

Judging by Princeton's hockey site, for them too.  There is a mention of the ticketing and tourney format for Lake Placid but no other mention so far of what is after all an uncommon achievement by the Tigers.

This, however, is interesting:

The Stanley Cup will appear at upcoming ECAC Men's Hockey Championship on Friday, March 16 at both the 4 & 7:30 p.m. semifinal games. Fans can see the Cup up close and take photos with the National Hockey League (NHL®) championship trophy at the 1980 Rink-Herb Brooks Arena, on the main concourse near section 19, during both ECAC Men's Hockey Championship Semifinal games.

Been trying to do a story on their top players for weeks, and hit nothing but roadblocks.

Mostly talk, and likely little action ::bolt::

I dunno, I think most people know about roadblocks.

If you missed the 70s, you also missed the 60s, except for those that were permanently stoned.

Therefore you missed Cornell hockey's greatest period.

Too bad.

Isn't that our usual defensive strategy under Schafer?

It wasn't choreographed. The team just came out and skated a few laps as part of its warm-up. The first several bars of the Theme to Peter Gunn just happen to be perfect for this kind of fast, ominous skating. I suppose there was enough variation among the individual players that a bunch of them always seemed in time with the music. Alternatively, if your routine was to do 3-4 laps of the rink for the aerobic start to your warm-up before starting stretches, shooting, passing, and similar things, wouldn't you want to time the rhythm of your movement as you did your laps to be in tune with cool music?

In the previous decade, some hockey internet citizen made a post somewhere about how their team skated out to Live is Life by Opus. The crowd gets clapping along to the opening bass drum hits as the team does laps. I can see it. (Apparently, this is also famous because of Maradona).

SCB uses that as part of their pregame routine (or at least they did 15-20 years ago when I was going to hockey games in Bern).  But I think it's before the team comes out, although the crowd does insert some well-timed "Jetzt geht's los!" and "Here we go, here we go, here we go" cheers.  (This is why "Life is Life" is on my euro-jock-jams list.)

Just occurred to me that Princeton has won 2 ECAC titles:

1998
2008

Years that end in 8

Will there be a gathering in NYC to view this game?
