Cornell still hasn’t forgiven the Crimson fan who threw a dead chicken at its goalie, Dave Elenbaas, in 1973. The Big Red ended that game with the upper hand by all measures. Not only did it knock off the then-top-ranked Harvard en route to an eventual NCAA berth, but Cornell fans got more animals on the ice that season as well. Later that month, Big Red fans threw dead fish onto the ice and tied a live chicken to the Crimson goal later that month. But Cornell still wasn’t satisfied...
...Crimson co-captain Jeremy Lin has become a household name this year thanks to a feature in Sports Illustrated, 30 points against UConn, and a current second-place standing in the fan voting for the Bob Cousy Award...
...decent team as well. Cornell sent a shock throughout the nation when it took Kansas, ranked first in the nation both then and now, down to the wire.

But the Big Red had more than enough firepower against Harvard last time, beating it by 36. On Friday, we will find out if the loss to the Quakers was a simple speed bump on the road to March Madness or if it was the beginning...

Another future NHL player is Cornell junior forward Riley Nash, picked 21st two years prior by the Edmonton Oilers. The Crimson boasts five more former draft picks—captain Alex Biega, senior Doug Rogers, junior Matt McCollem, sophomore Alex Killorn, and freshman Alex Fallstrom. (Alex seems to be a good name for Harvard hockey players.) Meanwhile, the Big Red have five more draft picks after Nash...
