Yes, Shabby.. it's too bad Gate hasn't been able to beat Union in the NEW RINK yet. Here's hoping that trend continues
You're right, the curse was actually at Starr rink, but we're starting a new "curseeeeeeeee".
Schafer talks about RPI being a "pretty good" hockey team but does not mention Union. I wonder if the Dutchmen are excited to be playing the #1 Hockey Team in the Country? You think they are pyched? 
Great comeback by the Dutchmen; the game could easily have gone either way. I've rarely seen a game so controlled by momentum. When we had it we looked like we could win 12-0. When you had it we looked like we didn't belong in the same building.Fun and exciting game tonight unless you happened to care who won.
Lots of missed open nets by both teams as well our crossbar and disallowed goal. That game could probably have been 8-5.
See you in a few weeks.
I remember the 7-0 beating we gave Cornell in 2015. I believe it was the first round of the ECAC Playoffs. It was at Lynah. Cornell had 10 penalties (deserved 20). Postgame Schafer had nothing positive to say about us. He just whined. I remember the painful look he had on his face. As a matter of fact, I do not recall anything positive about us or any other ECAC team coming from Schafer during 2012 - 2014.
Looks like they have combined their traditional strength in defence with some speed and scoring and that makes for a lethal combination for opponents. We really still don't know how good they are. They actually may be better than their record. They are young and could be strong for a few years. This year the ECAC is weak. Cornell deliberately played a very very weak non-conference schedule. That might have been smart of them. That may work to their advantage in building up confidence and teamwork. Q-Pack did that a few times and went deep into the post season. Not sure how well Cornell will do against Omaha or Minnesota.
I remember 2014 in Lake Placid. A huge group of Cornell's most obnoxious fans were there and they continued to be obnoxious even after the game was well over. A ref should have called an unsportsmanlike penalty on the crowd post game.
I am a big ECAC fan always pulling each season for whatever ECAC team is still in the running. It will be hard to do with Cornell because of their slobbering, whining, obnoxious coach and equally obnoxious, entitled and arrogant fans. I guess I will just have to hold my nose.

With all due respect.. I almost completely disagree with this. Schafer made plenty of positive statements about Union's coaches, players, and style of hockey in the Leaman/Bennett years leading up to 2014. In many ways, Leaman's teams were quite similar to Schafer's with a defense first/tough to play against style, but with a little more emphasis on speed rather than size/strength. I personally recall several press interviews after Union games where Schafer was quite complimentary of U and predicted good things if they kept playing that way.I remember the 7-0 beating we gave Cornell in 2015.
