Hostility of Lynah

[ctenah]

Does anyone know of any actual articles online or in print about the hostility of Lynah?  We've all heard and know Lynah to be the worst place to be an away team, but has there ever been an official list or even article?  Or is this simply a well-known reputation?

Go to USCHO and do a search for "Lynah."  You'll find a fair number of links to stories that mention Lynah's reputation.

There was a NT Times feature in the 70's which discussed the crowd.  No idea what year (if I had to guess, I'd say 1977).

Here's a Mike Eruzione interview on CSTV.com:

IIRC, There was also a Sports Illustrated article maybe about 4 or 5 years back. I don't have any more details than that.

These are some of my favorites, centering on the Harvard at Cornell game:

edit: I had a third article listed, but it doesn't go to the correct site.  It was an article called "Hockey à la Halibut" and was found by searching on google with the following terms: lynah fish harvard serves.  You might want to check out the cached version of the article.

I always like the ones from the Harvard perspective:

The first one is well doing and respectful of a powerful opponent.

The second is the ravings of a whiny little bitch.

[ctenah]

Aye, that last one I'll agree is just some uninformed prissy whore.  Even I'll defend hotelies in this case.  ::nut::

I think a lot of these opposing reporters already have the story written before they come.

[ctenah]

True, they probably just fill in the score details or whatnot to make it accurate.

[Q]Dov Grumet-Morris motioned to the small boy sitting in his father’s arms near Harvard’s end of the rink. The boy was wearing Cornell red, as were the surrounding fans, but the Crimson goaltender still gently tossed the puck over the boards as Harvard finished its warm-up. The boy grinned with glee as his father handed him the puck, but a voice interrupted the scene of holiday cheer.

“You still suck!” screamed the red-clad fan behind the pair.[/Q]

Heh.  That was me.  A few (anonymous) seconds of my fifteen minutes of fame.  You know, if fame can be anonymous.

[Ack]

We made it into that picture too...awesome.  (Fake) V-necks are an embarrassment to Sucks hockey, and Sucks hockey ____
