Clarkson SUCKS!

[Q]their bad is LOUD[/Q]

No, their band is horrible.  They weren't loud, they were just bad.  You were close.  ::rolleyes::

there's going to be Cornell video on the web as Al pointed out!  Woot woot!

It's interesting that we end up playing the team that we ended the season against.  We're basically trying to beat Clarkson three times in a row on the same ice (or at least 3 of 4).  I wonder how often this type of thing has happened and how the playoff series went.  (The fact that Clarkson played last weekend does change things a little, but it's still an interesting question, at least to someone who'e more interested in writing about hockey than finishing his work before the weekend...)

It really is amazing how many seats are available.  I think the most sickening thing I heard was at the beginning of the season, this guy told me he was thinking of selling the rest of his tickets because we were doing so badly.  If finishing second in the ECAC is bad, I'll take bad any day!

Also I don't know if this has anything to do with lack of students buying tickets, but even though I had a line number and got tickets, I never received Gene's email about buying playoff tickets.  (Not that that's an excuse or anything...)

I'll be there nice and early to cheer on Cornell.  I'm giving up going to a concert for hockey.  I know I have my priorities straight (too bad other people don't...)  I'm looking forward to watching the House of David take down the Golden (Moldin'?) Goliaths. :-P

:-)

LGR!!!

Clarkson blows!  Bu too!

I think the lack of enthusiasm stems primarily from how easily we threw ECAC opponents aside last year.  Now, a lot of the people expect that, and so this season is a letdown.  I have a feeling that next year, the enthusiasm will be back.  If we go on a hot streak and win the NCAAs, people will be enthusiastic because we can win it all with a non-dominating regular season, if we fall flat, people will want to cheer us to greater heights.  Anyway, that all aside, KICK CLARKSON'S ASS THIS WEEKEND!!!

cornell is not alone. over in the wcha, north dakota, denver and minnesota will also be playing the same teams against whom they ended their regular season...

I partially fear Clarkson too from my days on the hill and from our home record which has certainly improved but is not, nor has it ever been, what it was last year.  If anything, you would have thought last year's home playoff series was a lock and fans would have stayed away.  Why I don't know but I do recall I think three years ago arriving at Cornell on Friday afternoon and the ticket office still having tickets left and switching my seats for 'better' seats - read:  student side.  I guess the ticket office has given up on student seats since they told me I couldn't sit there earlier this week.  Sad, very sad.  If you're going to stay away because the team isn't as good as last year, then you don't fit the mold of what's filled Lynah consistently for years.  Last year was special but it's years like this where we're good but we wonder are we good enough, Martinez' comments aside in this weeks ECAC column, that add mystery, suspense, drama, intrigue - all the more reason to come out but I thought the fact that Cornell hockey was playing was good enough.  

Maybe somebody should remind people of the feeling of celebrating on the ice with the team if you win this series.  While chanting 'Lake Placid, Lake Placid' made it even better, there's still nothing like that moment.  You can't get that at Albany and you can't get that in the NCAA's and I'm not sure at how many schools you get that chance.

This is the first time in 10 years that I won't be at the QF series - under the weather to make the long drive, but I will be screaming at RedAR's TV and screaming more if I see an empty seat.

It is pretty sad that this weekend's series wasn't sold out soon after tickets went on sale.  Current fans must be a bit spoiled by the success of the last couple years.  Anyway, for those fortunate enough to be going to the games this weekend, I challenge you to get as many of your rowdy friends as possible to go and raise the decibel level this weekend.  Could our mediocre home record this year be partially due to poorer than usual fan support?  If so, don't let it happen in the playoffs.  They used to say the Lynah faithful was worth a goal a game, and maybe two for the Harvard game and the playoffs.  Help our team get a sweep!

[JordanCS]

It is quite sad that it didn't sell out.  If I weren't in Kuwait (and aside from that, Germany), I'd be there...I'm just bummed that this will be the first year since '95-'96 that I haven't been to at least one CU game.    LGR!

I fear part of the townie section will be noticably missing as well.  The person I bought my tickets off of said her son is on the IHS hockey team and that they have some sort of championship series this weekend too.

Hopefully, the townies who can't come were all able to sell/give away their tickets to someone  ::worry::

Colgate is in the same boat as well
