Top 3 goals/plays of the year

In light of the recent TBRW award voting, I thought I'd poll the ELF crowd as to their favorite three Cornell moments/goals/plays from the '06-'07 season. I want to try to limit this to on-ice moments from the players themselves, so no funny chants, fan interactions, ref injuries, or coach incidents (although I didn't see many flying clipboards, or Donato/Gaudet freakouts this year).

The moments can be just beautiful plays or goals, funny incidents (see Alec Richards's snow construction techniques), fights, or just plays that showed heart, determination, passion etc. (man this is starting to sound like an Ari column).

I'll start with mine:

1. Kennedy's breakaway GWG, Harvard @ Lynah
2. Killing off the 5-minute major to end the game and our losing streak, Colgate @ Lynah
3. Topher's goal, Union @ Lynah - he blazed up the right boards, outskated two Union D-men, and just wristed a beauty, top-shelf past Mrazek from a funky angle. Unfortunately, it was also his last goal of the season.

1. Kennedy's GWG vs. Harvard
2. Mitch Carefoot’s Goal @ RPI… he gets absolutely demolished, and still scores. I am sure there must be video highlights somewhere… one of the gutsiest plays I’ve ever seen at any level.
3. Davenport's amazing post-to-post save on a point blank shot to preserve the win @ Princeton in the final minutes... He made an NHL caliber save that I think was the best play either goaltender made all season.

I've only been to two games thus year, but of those, either the first or second goal against Princeton, it was an incredibly hard shot a couple yards from the net, with the goalie completely out of the way, looked like it was going to rip through the back of the net. Not a turning point or anything, just a solid goal.

Another great one I forgot about, but it was @Union, not RPI...video can be found


Here. Carefoot's goal/demolishment starts at ~1:35

Down in Florida, seeing the freak tricks of geometry that got a dumped puck in the net against Ben Bishop was pretty funny, and might have been a favorite moment if Cornell had actually won the game. Aaaand that's about all I got.

Good catch, that whole weekend just seemed to run together for me. Great play nonetheless

Definitely the Harvard GWG, the bizarre one in Florida, and Carefoot's goal.

Great play but that Union comeback was panful to watch.

I appreciate being able to watch the video but why would someone add a soundtrack to a highlight reel? I would rather have listened to the calls.

*shrug* Some Union fan thought it would be a good idea. There was a bit of a discussion about this back when the game happened...ended with a lot of agreement about the state of today's music.

I thought we had all agreed that this particular soundtrack was awful. *shrug*

Yes, that was the agreement I'm referring to.

Whoops. Totally read that (and responded as if it read) as "disagreement." My bad
