[quote Trotsky]Two interesting backchannel points from the radio crew "off the air":

1. Cornell has "the goalie recruit they want" in attendence tonight. I assume that's Theissen.

It very well could have been Theissen. His team played last night but he didn't dress http://www.bchl.bc.ca/leagues/hockey_boxScores.cfm?clientID=1413&leagueID=2393&gameID=233714. If he was there, he picked a great game to experience the Lynah atmosphere. I didn't see him but will keep my eye out for him tonight.

There was a kid following around Davenport prior to the game which I didn't recognize. My first reaction was it's probably a recruit.

The kid I saw last night looks a lot like the photo of Brad the BCHL has :-)

Nice:-) I figured after we got Scrivens that we'd be done looking at Theissen. Both Scrivens and Theissen are 86' birthdays and I find it hard to believe that either one of them would agree to come in 2007. Would Schafer have 4 goalies on the roster next year?

This would be assuming McKee stays...

Considering his play this season, I don't think that assumption is at all unrealistic.

I'm actually wondering if this says more about Dan DiLeo than anything else. I believe he has dressed for one single game all year, in a game when Chabot didn't dress (I guess he was sick). I thought I heard DiLeo was injured at the beginning of the season, but I have to believe that's been rectified by now. If Schafer isn't seeing fit to dress him as a secondary backup for games, I have to wonder if DiLeo actually has a future with the team. Is there something I'm missing here?

You brought up what I was hinting at. Like I said earlier, I can't believe McKee will be anywhere other than Ithaca next season. I guess we'll wait and see what happens with Theissen. If he doesn't choose Cornell this could all be a moot point.

We all hope David McKee stays all four years. However, he is no spring chicken. Isn't he the same age as David LeNeveu, gave or take a couple months? Someone completing college at 24 or 25 doesn't have as many pro years looking him in the face as, say, Sidney Crosbie.

Are there other influences? His family is comfortable, so it's not as if David needs to turn pro a year early to pay back his tuition loans. And OTOH, he is not as dependent as some of us on our Cornell degrees to earn a living.

The entire Mckee family - not just David - has been great for Cornell hockey. His father attends more games than Mike Teeter (this year - not lifetime - that's a record that won't be beaten).

Arthur's going to give it a shot. :-)

I've seen Pokulok's father at every game this season I've attended (including road games). I hope this bodes well for Sasha's prospects of returning next season.

just a guess, but we there a rule change about dressing 2 goalies instead of 3? everyone used to dress three, now they only dress two, anyone know anything about this?

On the other hand, the average goaltender takes many more years to develop than a skater, and many hit their NHL stride at 29-30 years old.

A few of our opponents this season have dressed three goalies for the game, or so collegehockeystats says. So I'm guessing it's not a rule change.
