man blowing the clarkson game hurt but at least it wasn't the playoffs

[RatushnyFan]

Rego had a strong game

[BearLover]

Nice play by Haiskanen to keep the puck inside the blue line and find Stienburg for the winning goal. Andreev was a force every time he was on the ice. Really strong performance tonight from the top of the lineup down to the bottom.

The happiest part of tonight for me though was seeing the student section rocking. Uniting the students by giving them Section C was the right decision. I just hope the townie side fills up next year. I wonder if most of the empty seats formerly belonged to antivaxxers.

I'd be surprised if there's a big antivaxxer contingent in Ithaca. More likely it's that the townies are taking a more cautious approach to attending large events.

Ithaca, no. The surrounding towns, though...there's a reason Tom Reed keeps getting re-elected.

Yup.  Ithaca is Austin, Texas.

Was this a "win one for the Gipp[Schaf]er" situation?  Huge turnaround after the first intermission.

The reason Tom Reed keeps getting reelected has nothing to do with Ithaca, nor the suburbs thereof. He gets reelected because his district covers all of rural southwestern NY. It starts just outside Binghamton and goes all across the PA border past Jamestown. The classic dump a Democratic city into a huge Republican rural area, thus negating their votes.

Now that the district configuration is changed, so that Ithaca is combined with Syracuse, see who wins.
