Quote from: BearLover on Today at 04:27:21 PMAlso, why take these games off campus? Women's hockey does not have a large enough following for a neutral tournament to make sense.

I've expressed this sentiment to everyone I have spoken to about this. My prediction is they move back to campus sites as soon as the current contract is completed.
I'm confused how this got approved in the first place. The atmosphere at Lynah last year was great. It wouldn't be great at most other rinks, but still should be better than a largely empty arena like what we have here. Plus less travel for teams and fans...?
The players get a better experience in LP, and their families probably enjoy the resort atmosphere
B.S. Cornell '09 / M.S. Michigan '17

4-1. Passes aren't connecting, and Yale is having their way with possession time.

Yale's coach was singing the praises of having it there during his intermission interview. The players probably prefer it, and the league officials can plan better for the banquet, media sessions, and other events. I see at least one youth team in the stands, probably more. I believe the locals will make a nice showing for the Final and the attendance will beat any on-campus number. It's a good showcase for women's hockey tbh.

I don't care that much, but it feels good.

Yale's goalie standing on her head the last 6-8 minutes or the second.

Either that or to Atlantic City.
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."

Beautiful cross-crease pass and it's 4-2 early in the 3rd.

5-2 Yale. They scored on a 2 on 0, short-handed.

RichH

Cornell gives up a 2-on-0 shorthanded goal. Comeback hopes fading.

We beat them 3-0 at Lynah on Halloween, lost 3-1 at Ingalls in Jan. and are down 5-2 today. Yale has improved mightily.

Tough watch... Yale had the luck tonight but are the better skating team

OK, fair enough. Sad to lose out on a great environment just to play in an empty arena. Same argument re: on-campus regionals for the men, but even more pronounced.

Yale adds an empty net goal with about five minutes to play and an even strength goal with about five seconds to go. 7-2 final.

Aren't png files larger than jpg's?

My go-to is to upload it to imgbb and get the bbcode from that.

Like this (you can quote to see it) -

I think there's a size limit on "native" uploads which is hella annoying.

Yes. I am constantly having to resize my (native) images to 40% or 60% before uploading.
