Cornell vs St Lawrence 02/22

Starting the thread early because I just got this email:

Big Red Hockey Fans,

We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to inform you of an important update regarding the Men's Ice Hockey game against St. Lawrence on Saturday, February 22nd. The game will now begin at 6PM, rather than the previously scheduled start time of 7PM.

Your existing tickets remain valid, and no further action is needed on your part. Doors will open an hour before the new start time.

Please adjust your plans accordingly to ensure you don't miss any of the action. We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the game!

Last home game of the regular season. Suspect there will be some sort of Schafer ceremony, necessitating the change.

They are home again in 2 weeks, no? Clarkson and Saint Lawrence?

In the Sun article it says schaf will miss the next home series (union/RPI) for his son’s wedding. I’m certainly interested to see a test run for Casey as HC

What i think CU 2007 is saying is that the game which has been changed to a 6PM start is the last regular season game for 24-25. It's Senior Night and Coach's last Senior Night.

The timing of his son’s wedding indicates (to me at least) that Schafer was planning to retire after last season but changed his mind.

Or that's a really assertive fiancée.

Either he changed his mind before the season or was planning to sneak out without fanfare. That would have been quite a shock

This implies Casey will not be at the wedding. Does this mean he has had a falling out with Schafer?

Anyone have any insight on why Mosko is still being scratched? He dressed for 11 games last year and seemed reasonably competent in the ones where I watched him play. Is he injured or something? If not, I’m not sure why the coaches are still favoring the likes of O’Brien, Rayhill and Wolfenburg instead.

Wondering if he (or even Murray) will finally draw in for the North Country trip with the roster taking another hit after tonight’s looming suspensions

Must be injured

This could have been a chance for crowd-sourced coaching. Lord knows the Faithful know exactly what strategy to employ, certainly after the game at least.

Great joke! Yes, I’ve repeatedly said I know exactly how to coach this team (actually never said anything of the sort and have been consistent that I don’t actually know anything), and you repeatedly calling me a clown is definitely going to get me to tone down my rhetoric.

Once again, I said something extremely benign (I thought terrible special teams and careless turnovers were a coaching issue) and it appears to have broken you. I wrote a totally mundane forum post and now I live in your head rent free.

Yes of course, we would just take a look at what's going on on the ice and simply Not Do That. Never mind that most of us, myself included, barely know how to stay upright on skates... :D

eLynah may not be the warm and cuddly place to improve – "you go, girl, we got your back, now flip the top on another cosmo" – one's sense of self-worth and fulfillment.

Better to channel Ned Harkness, Dick Bertrand, Lou Reycroft, Brian McCutcheon, Mike Schafer and probably Nicky Bawlf: "When you go into the corners, remember: elbows up."

Bumping early, so we don't have to make a new thread, with the reminder!

I’ll throw some odds out there for the game tonight.

Schafer cries: +150
Schafer’s jersey gets retired: +900
Schafer announces hes coming back for another year: +1000000

What are the odds the ESPN+ feed actually shows the senior night ceremonies?

Rayhill on the lineup sheet, let’s beat slu up enough to get him some ice time.

I'm gonna guess he gets ice time anyway as it's seniors night and he is a senior. Rayhill goal would be [chef's kiss].

Rally towels per seat tonight. If I see extra after the game, I can save a few to possibly send to people, if that's of interest. Supposedly there are commemorative pucks for the first 1k fans. I'm going off to forage for a meal, let's see if I grab one.

Would love one (and be willing to pay for shipping, etc. if able to swing it).

The incidents I saw with Clarkson they were warranted. Our guys kept shadowing their goalie, getting inside his uniform, thrashing about near him. That'll get you knocked on your ass in any barn.

Cornell powerfully did not allow a shorty for 5 whole minutes. I guess that's all I can ask for...
