Harvard v. Cornell

[gwm3]

Yes, I definitely saw a Harvard player get hit in the face with a fish while he had his helmet off for the anthem.  It is very unfortunate that a few morons had to make us all look very bad.  Throwing fish after the first toss is bad enough, but throwing bottles (which actually caused Coach to look up and yell at Section A at the end of the game) is extremely classless.  It reflects badly on the 95% of our fans who provided strong support for the team last night, and on the school as a whole.

When Coach Schafer yelled up at the crowd "no more" with a motion across his neck it was not very cool.  The bottles at the end of the game were unfortunate  and WTF was that pillow right at the end of the game?

As for the game, Harvard really played terrible (Colgate is on a roll, Harvard better watch out).  Harvard allowed Cornell to have way too much space all over the ice and our guys took advantage of that.  Capouch got really frustrated last night and at one point slapped his stick against the boards by the bench after a hard hit, not what a captain should be doing.

The Harvard coach got really out of line when he was banging a stick against the bench, he deserved the penalty.  

Go Brown go, around the bowl and down the hole, go brown go! LGR!!!!

Presumably you mean the conduct that inspired Schafer to tell people to stop was uncool, rather than his doing it, right?

I liked the announcement in the second intermission that the players would like the fans not to hurt their team by throwing anything on the ice.  I think such an announcement in the first intermission would have the best chance of heading off the second period idiot penalty.

Actually I was coming back from the booster room at the end of the second intermission, and I passed one of the first fish-tossers being escorted from the rink by the cops; the jackoff seemed pretty pleased with himself.  Unfortunately, I didn't process the whole scene fast enough to yell at him that he was an idiot and he had just gotten Cornell a penalty.

Actually, Sam was one of the few people in the rink that knew it wasn't a hat trick, since he had just skated over to the scorer's table to tell them the fifth goal wasn't his.  Unfortunately Arthur didn't have a chance to announce it before Sam scored again, and I'm out a crappy CafePress "Harvard Sucks" hat. ;-)

Check out the Boston Globe articlehttp://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/033/sports/Harvard_shows_some_fight_but_too_late+.shtml. Seems like a pretty decent article for CU, missing all the stupid stuff by the fans. Of course, it also skipped all the stupid stuff by Harvard.

Sorry, the link no longer works to get the article, but if you go to it and then go to Sports, then Colleges, you will be able to open the article on the CU-HU game.
