Vermont/Dartmouth Weekend

[Cornell Fan]

So who's going to be at these games? I'm planning to make the trip at least for Dartmouth on Saturday and possibly also UVM on Friday. What sections do people have tickets for? Do you think it is safe to get tickets at the gate, or is it necessary to reserve them online/by phone? Hopefully the team will bounce back after the tough outing last weekend with a strong showing.

Myself plus one will be at both games.  I'll post where I'll be when I look at the tickets later.

[calgARI '07]

I'll be at both.  
Vermont: Section 15, Row E, Seat 9
Dartmouth: Section 3, Row H, Seat 14

[Killer]

We'll be at Dartmouth.

Section 4, Row H.

[Will]

Okay, where myself plus one are sitting:
Vermont: Section 15, Row B, Seats 7-8
Dartmouth: Section 3, Row E, Seats 10-11

Look for me in the red #19 jersey.

Okay... looks like UVM is a wash for me. My girlfriend and the other people coming with me have to work late today so we wouldn't be able to make it up to Burlington in time. But we'll try to get seats in section 3 or 4 around row H when we get our tickets for Dartmouth. Thanks for the information!

uscho.com picks the New York State teams to sweep this weekend. But the column thinks more of Colgate's offense than Cornell's:


Cornell 3, UVM 2
Colgate 4, Dartmouth 3

Cornell 2, Dartmouth 1
Colgate 3, UVM 1

If Juan Martinez is right, that's going to mess up McKee's GAA average by a couple hundredths.

(Remember we did this what-if math last year to see if Jim Howard of Maine would break LeNeveau's record...) McKee is at 1.19GAA right now (7GA in 5.886 games or 353:07 playing time). If he gives up this many goals in two 60 minute games, his average becomes

0GA .....     0.888GAA
1.........      1.015
2 ........       1.141
3   ........     1.268
4   ........     1.395
5   ........     1.522
6   ........     1.649
7   ........     1.775
8.........     1.902

The only stat Jim Howard is competitive in this year (so far) is minutes played. He's No. 2. McKee is #1 in GAA and #3 (tie) for save percentage, 94%. But the year is yet young.

I _may_ be there tomorrow night.  Will probably be up in New England this weekend and might make the journey.

I am now definitely planning on being there.

Since the game thread was deleted before I knew it existed, can someone please post a brief summary of what happened and, because I'm too lazy to go to other sites, what the final score was? :-)   I've dedeuced that there were two majors called, one on Moulson, and that we lost or tied, but I need more info.  I'm sure there are others like me who are just checking the forum today.  Thanks!

The last time Cornell had a 2 goal lead in the third period and didn't walk away with a win was February 5, 2000, when Cornell tied Brown 2-2 in Providence after giving up two power play goals in the third period. Sound familiar? (Another similarity - Cornell's two goals in that game at Brown were both scored in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd period, the first of which was scored in the first minute).

I'm so bored.

Oh, and the last time we blew a 2 goal lead at ANY point in the game was November 24, 2001, the first of a two game series @ BU. Cornell led 2-0 early in the second period, before BU came back and, eventually, won, 5-3.

Lynah needs to be rockin when the team comes back for the next three home games.  With there road record being 0-2-2 we need to boost the morale!  Strange though, we had a better record on the road last year than at home.::bang::  Amazing what at announcement that you are moving to hockey east can do for your program (from worst to first in a year).  It sounds like the Dartmouth fans willed there club to the win, we'll get them at Lynah later in the season by that time we'll see if we are going to compete this year or prepare for next year.

The Dartmouth what? Clearly you're not referring to the two completely empty student sections until the third period. Or maybe Thompson's half-step-above-a-morgue atmosphere. The outcome of the game had nothing to do with the people in the seats and everything to do with the players on the ice.
