Without any flames, I believe you are mistaken.  In the three years I had
season tickets, I never once saw someone throw a fish at a player.  The only
thing I've ever seen thrown at opposing players at Lynah are front pages
from the Cornell Daily Sun.  Mike, if you (or other HOCKEY-L'ers) were at a
game where you saw this occur, please say so and I'll get off my high horse.
If this is speculation, well, please don't speculate.
