Hell and damnation.
Cornell hockey just lost a chance to go to the Frozen Four by losing to something called the Bemidji State Beavers.
Yes, I don't know what that is either. We all gathered at the Sports Depot to watch the debacle, and spent a good part of the first period trying to figure out both where Bemidji was and how to pronounce it. Schnabel just gave up and suggested we called it Jumanji, which stuck. This was mostly based on getting to chant, "Jumaaaaanji!" "Sucks!" Jumaaaaaanji!" "Sucks!"
That was, unfortunately, the highlight of the game. Cornell got hammered and I, for one, propose that we move our Cornell-sports-on-national-TV gathering place to another venue. Too many bad memories there, plus the train passing right by the window every few minutes always scares the crap out of me.
Perhaps the most regrettable thing about the whole evening was Cornell's inability to score on a wrap-around shot from behind the Bemidji Beavers' goal. If they did that, I could have run my original title for this post:
"Backdoor Puck Frustrates Beavers."
