As we fell 3 spots in INCH to #9 the following quote stands out. We all know we have had several injuries, but are they that serious? ::worry::

"I don't disclose injuries very often, but I will disclose them after the season's over, and I think [people will] be amazed what this hockey team is going through," Mike Schafer told the Cornell Daily Sun.

Actually, depending on what he reveals, it might explain a lot.

They must be awful if Schafer is willing to use them as excuses. ::twitch::

I interpreted that as his way of taking the heat off the players who have been out and acknowleding what I'm sure are very tough recuperation regimens. Not "excuses."

[quote fenwick][quote min]5. In two of the eleven years that an Ivy league team has won the ECAC RS, the RS winner was NOT the Ivy champion (1992 - Harvard (ECAC) and Yale (Ivy); 2006 - Dartmouth (ECAC) and Harvard (Ivy))[/quote]

Following up on this, there has never been a season in which one Ivy team won the Ivy League championship, a second won the ECAC regular-season title (or was the #1 seed in the playoffs), and yet a third won the ECAC tournament. Let's hope Cornell makes history this year![/quote]

Amen, Bill. (I'm also glad I'm not the only one who thinks about things like that.)

[quote Trotsky][quote jmh30][quote dbilmes] -- During one of our early power plays, our second unit looked awful. Kennedy was on the point and twice failed to keep the puck in the zone at the blue line. Watching the struggles of some of our players to keep the puck in the zone makes you appreciate how good Sasha and O'Bourne are at doing that.[/quote]Sasha and who?[/quote]

You know. From "The O'Bourne Identity."[/quote]

In that case, by all means get him back for the playoffs. Isn't the sequel entitled "The O'Bourne Supremacy"?

Two points of interest on this topic, gleaned from reading the media guide while taking four hours of intravenous therapy this morning:

1. Schafer was awarded the team's "Ironman Award" in 1984 and 1985 for "determination to overcome injuries."

2. The "Ironman Award" winner in 1990 was Dr. Dan Yale. Maybe 2006 will be the another year for the team physician.

Eep. Guess I must have missed something. Hope you're doing okay, Al.

Thanks for asking. Chronic problem. Nothing life-threatening. Not to worry.

We understand. Explaining stuff to RichS takes a lot out of us, too. ;-)

That was more valuable than four hours of therapy. ::nut::

As I recall, Dr. Yale won the award that year for his own determination in overcoming an illness.
