Yale Game Thread

Somebody kill a bandy every time they play Chelsea Dagger or Sweet Caroline.  Fuck Chicago / Fuck Boston.

a) that would be only 2 PIM
b) Sweet Caroline in combination with Don't Stop Believing is the universal announcement that the Reunion music tent is winding down the final set. Sweet Caroline also gives drunk girls of all ages a chance to believe they carry a tune like Adele.

Maybe if the refs did their jobs properly, players wouldn't be trying to kill each other with six minutes left? Just something to try.

Students. Sing the Gary glitter song after the band stops. It's fantastic. Gonna keep beating this drum

[Trotsky]

Another solid win; great defensive effort -- just 3 shots on Nate in the third.

New cheer -- "Five point weeeekend!"

Not a student anymore, but the band started playing it earlier, so now they finish the two verses before the refs drop the puck.  It sucks.  Need to bring back Gonna Fly Now when the teams come out and transition into Glitter.

So, according to my calculations (FWIW), that was our 400th ECAC RS win at Lynah.  400 - 140 - 51.

We all have our traditions. Meanwhile around the ECAC, Colgate students probably have an app advising what kind of pizza is served free at today's game to entice them, and Quinnipiac students time the middle-of-second-period bus back to main campus from the hill to maximize party time.

Wait, we don't play Gonna Fly Now any more? :-(

I was also going to complain about Malone wearing #13, but I see from looking at Greg's numerical roster that we're otherwise actually out of numbers between 2 and 29, with 25 out of circulation.  Of course, he's a Junior, so I either didn't notice it in 2018-2019, or I did, and have forgotten getting annoyed back then.

New cheer -- "Five point weeeekend!"

Did they actually chant that?  I was thinking it, but I'm impressed if the students were on the ball enough to do it.

I have trained my entire family to chant "Boston sucks" at the bom-bom-bom part of Sweet Caroline.

We chanted "Five point weekend!" "Five goal season!" at the front of section B, but I don't know that it made it all the way to the back of the section. "Six point weekend" last weekend definitely happened though.

[Iceberg]

Well, I think it's safe to say that Yale will finish solidly 12th in the conference this year because they just did not look good and I wonder if they'll even win a game. It's wild how far things have fallen for them since they were a fairly regular NCAA team up until 5 years ago.

As far as Cornell is concerned, though, the guys will need to be a bit less sloppy with the passing against BU next weekend and especially against Clarkson in the North Country.

The band still plays Gonna Fly Now, they just tend to start it a decent amount before the teams leave the locker rooms, so by the time the puck drops, it's already transitioned into Gary glitter and 2 verses are done.

Some nice saves by McDonald.

I agree on Fuck Chicago, I puke every time I hear Chelseas Dagger

But Go Bruins and Go Red Sox
