Favorite players of the Schafer era

I'll take Andy Iles

He's not the answer.

Whats wrong with Iles?

[Weder]

Mike Sancimino. just because it sounded the best when he scored and Authur made the announcement.

In fact I'm reasonably certain that Mike is the original reason the Faithful repeat the scorers' names after Arthur says them in the first place; it was just such a fun name to yell. I sure don't remember doing it pre-Sancimino...

Was just talking about this with friends — I'm cranky and think this should have stopped when he graduated. Sancimino is very fun to yell with great gusto. Many other names, not so much.

It's a running joke. Someone else can pull up the actual thread, but we had a "Andy Iles is not the answer" post riiight before he went on a record-setting shutout streak and cemented his place in net.

As a fan, I'd have to say my favorite is Jack O'Leary.

This is why I keep coming here.

I was the one who posted that Andy Isle was not the answer to Cornell's goaltending back in the day.  I still stand by that assessment !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My biased selections:
Sam Paolini ( we are still in touch on occasion and his name was fun to yell), the McRae twins, Danny Powell (briefly dated him so I had to include him), and Doug Murray (another friend who was always so nice) and of course Stephen Bâby (anyone who has their own chant  is a fave)

Ben Scrivens here.  I think I'm biased because of the non-assuming demeanor of his parents.  I met them in Albany because they were sitting near me and I noticed them cheering for Cornell during or right after the National Anthem.  I asked his dad if he was related to anyone on the team or some such and when he responded that he was the goalie's father rather than boasting that he was BEN SCRIVEN'S DAD, I felt an instant bond. His Dad got a kick out of my posting the Takedown video, too.  But it was great to see Ben's longevity in the NHL. The dedication to play goalie at that level for 9 or 10 years is awesome.

I too love Scrivens. I worked in the Appel dining hall throughout my stay ('09), and one weekend morning shift (in what must have been his freshman year), one large embarrassed looking kid f'ed up one of the waffle makers. I knew it was Scrivens, and my demeanor must have given it off, because he thanked me and said I could add him on Facebook or something (please take a moment to consider the difference in such a gracious offer back then vs. now). Never had a doubt he was better than Davenport.

The Appel waffle makers and soft serve will forever be missed

Doug Murray.
Solid Leader. Talented and left it all on the ice as a defenseman on a team that crushed opponents.

Doug Murray

For his bemused post-game bar appearances alone.

[Anne 85]

I enjoyed the Vesce-Baby combo. I swear Vesce made the hit and Baby took the penalty on more than 1 occasion! (It's not his fault he's the biggest and the strongest...)

[Big Dingus]

Can Donaldson

[CKinsland]

Greening is also mine. I have a gameworn Greening jersey that I wear at away games. I've run into his cousin at a few games.
