Impressions from SLU(t)/Clarkson weekend at Lynah

[KeithK]

[q]Have we all said "thank you, Schafer," lately? Cuz we should.[/q]Thank Schafer?  But he's the losingest coach in Cornell hockey history!  His 107 losses beats out McCutcheon's 105 and Bertrand's 104.  So what if he's also coached the most games too (355 to Bertrand's 342).

(Just noticed these stats, so I couldn't resist pointing 'em out...)

Weren't the ECACs in Albany in 2002?  I'm pretty sure they were.  I missed them (keeping my perfect record of seeing every victorious Cornell ECAC championship game since 1980), but recall wishing I was in Albany that night.[/quote]

No. They were in Placid through 2002.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but didn't we lose Manderville and Ratushny to team Canada in '92 or something like that.  I know it put a huge dent in the program when they left.  I was a freshman in '90-'91.  I went to a bunch of games but was not a season ticket holder and did not know a lot about the team at that stage.

[cth95]

They were definitely at Lake Placid.  It would have been tough to ski at Whiteface all day like I did and then go to the game after if the games were in Albany.  I remember not really having anything to eat, figuring we would go out after the game.  Then the game ran so late with the 2OT we had a hard time finding anything open.  We got our sweet revenge in the inaugural Albany series with the '03 OT win, though. :-)

If you were wishing you were in Albany that night, I dunno why... its hard to wish you're in Albany even when there IS Cornell hockey there

Definitely Lake Placid though, and I'm glad I got to see the ECACs in Lake Placid that once, even if it had to be that one.

Wow, you don't see that written or spoken often. :-P

I sit right in front of the band in A... it was pretty full on Saturday (it's more the far far left side that's empty). More importantly, every game I try to get the remote control goalie going as often as possible. It started to get to McNulty last weekend while their coach was bitching (he was swurving a bit to mess us up)... there's no better way to get a goalie's head out of the game. As for other cheers- LETS GO RED should be used after opponent goals, not section O sucks.

I agree, the remote control goalie has been lacking all year

It's one of my favorites, and McNulty proves that it can get goalies out of their personal routine. It may not have led directly to any goals in that game, but I believe it was Army last year where a late bendover cost the goalie position on a 2 on 1 and resulted in a goal.

and then there is always that dartmouth goalie...

[KeithK]

Ah, little Nicky!

[gatitita '05]

the problem with the remote control goalie, is that many people have turned it into just "bend over", instead of actually saying what the goalie is doing ("lean", "pose", "tap") after the initial circling. and then other people try to force their way, or just get frustrated with it.  at least thats what I hear in the top of A...

And there are more verbs than Skate, Turn, and Bend Over ...

Glide, Stop, Sweep, Tap, etc.

The band usually does them, but everyone else is already chanting Bend Over.

Edit: We're both psychic.

I forget if it was Pesony or McNulty, but one of them made the bizarre addition of stretching upwards in the crease during his ritual.  Yelling "stretch" by myself didn't really catch on, though.

It's "bahstid", but I suppose I can't expect a "nycap.res.rr.com"-er to be an expert on the accent

Lois, sometimes its appropriate to swear

Back on topic, I agree about the remote control goalie having lost the flavor of the full routine. I still remember that Clarkson goalie with the tap-tap-tap-tap.

And was anyone else in D/E/F for the Maine game at Lynah in 2000-01? With the sweep, sweep,sweep on the opposing goaltender, who was trying to trick us? That was fun

Ive tried to do sweep, chug, tap, etc... both at lynah and on the road... for the last several years, but no one joins in. I've noticed lately though that "AND THEY STILL SUCK!" has caught back on at Lynah recently. So anything's possible!

And I believe he (I think his name was Morrison) gave up the last true Lynah Bounce goal in the third period of that game (it ended 1-1) before they redid the floor and boards that following summer.

Why has Cornell gotten away from the Tuesday before Thanksgiving HEA game?
