Cornell vs Harvard, ECAC QF Game 3, 3/15/26

[fastforward]

After watching the post game interview, I was very impressed with Casey's praise of Ben Syer and indicating he's voting for Ben as Coach of the Year

Well, the other candidate is Reid Cashman who Casey detests

What's the beef between Cashman and Casey?

I think Casey sees him as an extension of Rand. Maybe has something to do with the brawl last year. Casey spoke about it in the Coach's Club meeting that got leaked to this forum...

[Give My Regards]

With the QF series win, Cornell has now beaten Harvard four times in a single season -- only the second time that has happened.  The other time was 2009-10, and the Big Red went on to win the ECAC tournament.

I could also mention at this point that the only time Harvard ever beat Cornell four times in the same season was 1993-94, and the Crimson won the ECAC tournament that year -- but really, why would anyone bring that up?

To be fair, a lot of that I think was carryover from Gaudet's last recruits, and he was very visibly and vocally trying to get his players off the ice after the fireworks started.

Section C is yelling at Healey every time he's on the ice.

...it seems to be working.

Comes through clear as a bell on the broadcast.  People come up to me and they say, with tears in their eyes, sir, Healey sucks.

Seriously, even Isaac legit asked, "Mama Dada why they booing him?" 

[Robb]

Maybe he really has taken over for O'Leary in the FF department!

unfortunately I think there's someone else who the Faithful have appointed as their new Fan Favorite...

The Faithful or Stereax?? 😆😆

The Faithful.

As evidenced by their many, many chants about Hiscock.

(Who, for the record, is also one of my favorite guys of the class, but not because of the last name.)

My favorite happened in game 2, I'm pretty sure.  Forgot who the other player was, but Jason essentially said, "Pirtle brings it across the line, looks for the pass, but can't find Hiscock..."

Healey had a noticeably rough series and some visibly bad shifts. I don't know if he did anything specific to draw the ire of the crowd in game 3 but he was getting attention in a bad way with his play

Oh no we'd been going at him since game 1 😇

Genuinely, the Jocks of Section C just chose three or four guys (Tresco, St Louis) and started harping on them all weekend long. They got a "Healey sucks" going that the whole rink joined in on. More than once. I think at one of those points it was close to the end of game 3 😭

Is there no longer a pizza place open super late? Used to be CTP, and Momma T's, both open well past midnight.

Only on the Commons, which is where several Cornell students go out now along with the IC ones

There is not a single pizza place, or at least one that is open late, in Collegetown now?

I don't frequent Collegetown much these days, but at a minimum CTB is open late and makes pizza bagels. (So not really pizza, but in a pinch...)

Isn't DP open late for basically just pizza?

It is a shame that the internet & smartphones have ruined campus socializing - and thereby late-night pizza availability!  There used to be roaming groups of 10 people moving all around Collegetown after hockey games going from the Nines to Johnny's or from the Chariot to Dunbar's.  Could even get a good "Let's Go Red!" chant going in any of those places when a new group arrived.  Right up til 1:30 AM.  Progress sucks.

I'm still trying to figure out socializing. Mixed results. People in the law school don't like hearing about the NHL trade deadline or my thoughts on the ECAC.

But more generally, especially post-covid it's been tough to find things to do with other people in real life. I genuinely don't know if most of my colleagues have a life. I don't think they do? And I think I'm doing okay for myself between trivia on Thursdays and centering my nonacademic life around hockey in all shapes and sizes (and sometimes other Cornell sports too, if they strike my fancy). I have no idea what other people do. If they do anything at all besides study, some of these people reach levels of nerddom that I can't even fathom.

...Then again, don't ask me about my summer internships. Or my grade transcript. Or if I generally do anything once I get home from class besides graze on whatever's in my fridge and then collapse into bed exhausted.

...I haven't done groceries in like, a month. Jesus.

...I think I'm oversharing again?

But, I mean - point stands. Tech boom + covid migrating so much stuff online = limited in-person third spaces and shit. And no more 24/7 establishments.

I do feel bad in that way for today's students; they won't ever know how hopping Collegetown used to be every Friday & Saturday night.  The supply was there because the demand for pizza & beer was high.  And the hockey or hoop game was just the start of a long night out for so many.  We had Souvlaki House and 3 more Italian places on the other side of Eddy Street alone:  The Chariot, Sa's Place & a full Italian restaurant, Little Joe's.  College Ave had Oliver's, CTB, Ruloff's & the Nines; Johnny's was up on Dryden.  Celebrating hockey wins in Collegetown was a group event.  And it is ironic that maybe this forum has replaced those actual group experiences with a more-convenient way to interact without  the pizza, beer or memories.

I agree with everything you wrote, except for Sa's Place being Italian. While Sa's definitely served subs, like a meatball parm (my go-to), I don't think anyone would really consider it Italian. It was just a really good sub shop.

Of note: Sa opened a few places in Ithaca. He'd open one, sell it, and then open another. I am almost positive he was also responsible for a place similar to Sa's that was open near the old Octopus downtown. If my memory serves it may have been called "King Subs."

I believe it was in the building where Eta Pie is now.

The Palms was on Dryden too.  And a solid post-game group would head all the way to Stewart and Chapter House, back when they 1) brewed their own beer and 2) existed.

The most "unified Cornell" I ever felt was the playoff run Schafer's first year when there were 5 teams all vying for 4 home playoff slots and not losing. Heading down the hill into C-Town from Lynah, the Dino's "club" type crowd would already be out on the streets and they'd see hockey garb and screamed "who won??" (remember, no pocket internet). They'd get the good news and yelled in the full streets!  At least 3 "pizza by the slice" joints open until about 2am + Jason's Deli.  I think Wendy's on the College & Dryden corner was open late, too.

Shortstop Deli up until 2019-2020 had a digital counter displayed with the amount of time since they had last been closed...It was decades. When I heard they changed their 24-7 hours permanently, it was a gut punch that things were REALLY changing. That was something you could ALWAYS count on.
