Yale Game Thread

I guess if we are going to see Shane this year it will be at Appleton.

My first year was the Fawcett Edmands year. The next year, with Dadswell and the notable addition of Nieuwendyk and the notable sunstraction of the Hockey East schools, we jumped way up. Partly the upgrade in goal, but obviously other issues there.

I can't remember if it was Edmands or Fawcett but I do recall one goal which was a puck flipped practically into the rafters (back in the days of no cross support beams and no silver conditioning) which simply came down onto the back of our goalie's mask and thence into the net.

This was right after back-to-back seasons with All-American goaltenders (Hayward and Eliot).  It was... suboptimal.  We gave up 5 or more goals 14 times in 26 games.

Yes. It was a much higher scoring era but still

I thought that goal was vs Dadswell

Which goalies dressed for Brown-Yale?

Meanwhile, at Notre Dame, Matt Galajda is 7-1-0, 1.38 GAA, .943 SV PCT.

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

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.

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.

I assume he chose the number. 12 was available his freshman year.

Please tell me why one should be annoyed with a player wearing 13. Please come up with something other than "bad luck". After all you're supposed to be a scientist.

Eventually the number is going to have to be used, or Schafer will break his "rule" and allow "non-traditional" numbers. 69 anyone?

Oddly, Galajda didn't play in either of ND's wins over Michigan this past weekend. I wonder if he's hurt.

Sympathetic illness/injuries, Galajda and Howe? Meanwhile, that is quite a feat for ND to take down the #1 team twice, in OT.

You know, one downside to Galajda transferring is he's going to get two sets of alumni-fund appeals.

Clarkson-ification.

Geez no apologies Dunc.  I never heard of it before and the video was fabulous.  Even had a few shots of Dryden.

The man, not the town.  Thanks.

Not only didn't Galajda play, by CHN Box Scores, he wasn't even dressed for either game.

Both games went to 18 min of OT. So is that only worth 52%?:-O

But which tradition? The "tradition" of not using 13, or the tradition of only 2-29?

One of them had to give and personally I'm glad you lost.:-D

[Trotsky]

13 is my favorite integer so fuck y'all who are afraid of it.
