Well, Boucher was actually the second coming of Tim Thomas.

[Trotsky]

Does DC have a SOG this period?

[dbilmes]

6-1 final.... terrible, just terrible...

[Rosey]

Man, that was brutal...

Kinda glad my leg is broken, so I couldn't get to Hanover.  (Well, not really... but it makes it slightly easier...)

let's hope we don't see this "team" for a long long time ... bring back our Big Red please;-)

Anyone who said it was 40% empty is either blind or looking through extremely rose-tinted glasses.

Seating capacity at Thompson is 3500. SRO is another 1000, giving a total capacity of 4500. The students showed up 10 minutes into the first like usual, but they eventually showed up and filled their sections pretty well. Was it as full as last night? Eh, maybe. But I'd say anything over 4000 was a fair count (it was 4215, compared to 4100+ last night), because there was no way you could fit another 500 people in there tonight under current fire codes. I admit it'd still be cool to see some of the crowds from back in the late 70's/early 80's when they let ~5000 in.

But standing room tonight was full all the way around and 2-deep in certain spots, and invariably included some people who otherwise had seats but chose to stand instead.

Hi Ben. Congrats on the win. :`(

We were watching on the video webcast and could see the center section and one or two to either side, on the opposite side of the ice from the camera. Half full is pretty accurate for those sections. From our view, Cornell attacked to the left the first and third periods. You mention students. Perhaps those were the townie sections that were not nearly filled? Either that or half the people were wearing green, never moved, and therefore blended in perfectly with the seats

I think the 40% empty figure is a little exaggerated...
The students definitely weren't there at the beginning of the game and very slowly trickled in, but were pretty solidly packed my the middle of the game - but Cornell fans probably wouldn't have been able to see them, as it sounds like they were in the corner to the right of the camera.  The rest of the sections were mostly full, but with a lot of empty seats scattered around.  I think we've got a skewed idea of what "full" looks like, since Lynah rarely has many empty seats.

First and third, you mean.
