If I read that right, wouldn't that be 8 out of the last 8 first round games they have participated in, instead of 6?

No; we lost in the first round in 1996 to Lake Superior State, and in 1991 to Michigan. The white background means it's a round we won; the grey means we lost.

This is the rare situation where I would say northeastern was a bit too aggressive on the forecheck in the first two periods. Not in the sense of giving up the odd man rush, but by the end of the game, NU was sitting back, and we were able to make some nice plays and draw some penalties. Exciting win. Hopefully tomorrow will be fun.

Gallagher played an amazing game. Right place, right time. I hope he isn't doing any serious harm to himself though.

This was so amazing. I made li'l Sidney cry by letting out a yell when Barlow banged home the game winner.
It's funny. We won by a goal and the first Northeastern goal was a lucky bounce off of two Cornell defenders. And still I felt like Northeastern had the better of the play for most of the game. Cornell simply couldn't clear the zone when facing a mediocre offensive team for very long stretches throughout the game. Cornell's passing was sloppy and, at times, seemed random.
And yet... and yet... Gallagher scored a muckers goal, they converted on a power play chance at the end of the game to tie (questionable penalty call there, but I'll take it) and get a beautiful rush at the end to make sure that there is no OT and I can get Sid home in time for bed.
So sweet.

I love Bob Norton. Bob Norton is our best weapon. Three years ago it was "Colorado College has too much firepower for Cornell." This year it was "You have to like Northeastern's chances going into the third period."
It is exciting to see how much bigger and redder Bob Norton's nose is every year....how much fatter he is. He didn't even bother to comb what's left of his hair this year.
He said Cornell lost to Princeton in the ECAC finals at least TEN TIMES. Let's see....they position him as an "assistant coach at UNH from 1970-77..." so just exactly what makes him qualified to provide commentary based on his professional positions over the past 32 years? It's all about the booze....BOB.....
It's March, Bob Norton is back and we're going to the next round. Life is good!

By the way - does anybody know if there's a reason he hates us? Or is it just that he really doesn't like our style of play?

Some observations from the box score:
Cornell won only 40% of the faceoffs.
On ice for all three CU goals:
Gallagher and B. Nash [and also Alex Tuckerman]
Davenport was on ice for the two NU goals.
Barlow had 7 of Cornell's 32 shots on goal, 6 in the third period alone.
No other player on either team had more than 3 (Kary had 3 for CU).

I think it's a great venue to watch a game. Excellent sight lines all around. The Cornell section was on the side opposite the benches, so they were probably using a smaller hand-held camera when they showed us. There's an "upper deck" where you get a great view too. That's where the pep band was, and I sat up there in 1997.HockeyMan

There was a much bigger crowd for the second game. Mostly Notre Dame but there are also a lot of Bemidji fans in town. We will be outnumbered.

Here is the ranting of a BU fan in today's Boston Globe, commenting on the Northeastern-Cornell game story:
"I am a BU fan, but NU DID NOT lay an egg. The tough thing is Cornell is NOT a team anybody halfway decent should ever relinquish a two goal lead to, the way that Cornell plays, yet they scored two legit goals, although I woulda been upset with my defenseman taking that penalty with a one goal lead with less than five to go. That being said, the tying goal is a solid PP goal. THE ONE THAT HURTS IS THE UNCHARACTERISTIC FIVE HOLE GOAL that Thiessen stops 99 out of 100 times. "

Schafer's comments on that:
'When asked how they can improve their faceoff draws in Sunday’s Midwest Regional final, Cornell head coach Mike Schafer didn’t hesitate.
“It’s really easy. We’re not going to have to play against Joe Vitale. We heard he was good coming into the game. He was unbelievable. He must have been near 90 percent tonight and we have some good guys on faceoffs.”'

Vitale was 25 of 35, so roughly 70%.
Otherwise, NU was 19 of 35. Only Rassey (1 of 5) was less than 50%.
For CU, the only guys better than 50% were Punches (3 of 4) and Barlow (2 of 3).

I think some people relate our goal scoring to our style.. It seems to me that since the RPI series we have been pushing forward much more on offense, the bigger issue we just dont finish plays. we need to start scoring some goals that dont require screens or deflections or get mucked in. NE didnt do much more either, one double deflection and a blown D coverage for a breakway are hardly a domination offensive performance.

I talked to someone affiliated with BSU (asst coach or trainer?)who thought they have about 150 fans here. It'll be a small, but hopefully loud, showing of fans from both sides.
Regarding BSU's play; in short, they were fast and tenacious. I don't think they ever relaxed, even when up 4-nil.

I think Josh mentioned hearing Bemidji fans. They have fans there but mostly they cheered at the goals and at the end. However, there was a group of about 10 really drunk guys right behind us who kept cheering. They're the ones who started chanting "WE WANT CORNELL!"
Not sure how they sold the tickets since our section was a mix of Cornell and Notre Dame fans.
Is anyone able to explain Notre Dame's cheers and various "dances" that go along with the cheers? Or maybe the hand gestures meant something. I don't understand

True that! He has always dissed Clarkson and St Law, though I'd bet he has had a few drinks with Joe Marsh, another New England native.
And he has no respect for anyone in the ECAC, except perhaps for Harvard.
