We will obviously lose this game in OT so I don't know why I'm thinking about going. But I am. So... is it really $17.75 each way to take NJ Transit to Princeton from Penn Station?

Shouldn't it be "Dr. Mrs." rather than "Mrs. Dr."? At least that is how it would be in German.
BTW, what are the flood predictions for later this week for the Potomac where you are?

I assume all of metropolitan Point of Rocks is going to be underwater, including the MARC station. My home is high enough in the hills that if it floods we have way, way bigger problems than my basement.

Well most of us could have figured out she's not you.

Does anybody truly appreciate how difficult it is to hold one's breath for an entire third period of hockey??
What a welcome, if not overwhelming win.

Sometime you gotta try three periods. The oxygen deprivation explains all you need to know about Cornell fans over 45.

Cornell felt aggressive on the forecheck. Cornell felt like the better team and yet Princeton almost tied us. We sat at the Cornell-attacking first/third end and when Princeton at the other end hit the left pipe loudly with 20 seconds to play, it just about woke sleeping babies 200 feet away. Didn't realize Princeton actually outshot Cornell 32-30 for the game. (Box score) Princeton did a lot of backpassing including clearing its own zone and a missed backpass actually was a shot-against-on-goal.
Once again the game was an (air-quote) "sellout." Traffic into the adjacent garage and surface parking was backed up for about 15 minutes and one of the traffic cops said it was all the hockey game. Had us briefly nervous about getting in but then a Tiger can't change its stripes. Actually a lot of the traffic was a museum fundraiser. As usual, there were a couple hundred available seats you could choose from with your $12 SRO tickets. This is the stands opposite in the third.

I know that this team is offensively challenged, but I was shocked by the large number of defensive breakdowns and puck giveaways right in front of Gillam. We were very lucky that nobody on Princeton can finish.

Lately, this team seems to be playing to the level of its competition. In my time watching Cornell hockey, I've seen a lot of young teams do that.
For what it's worth, Hilbrich (a senior, of course) was not doing that last night. I thought he had a great game; in particular, there was a drive to the net he made from the corner (in the 3rd, I think) that looked like the "old" Hilbrich.
Augurs well.

Yup. Combine that with the fact that we sometimes can't really coordinate our breakout, and we either turn the puck over for no reason or strand one or two puck carriers behind a forecheck while our forwards rush out of the zone.
But that was a much needed win and a productive 3 point weekend on the road. Unfortunately, since Princeton sucks, we slipped from 14th to a tie for 14th in the Pairwise.
Just gotta keep winning.

really just no more zero pt weekends. get 3 at home and 2 on the road and a good chance we get backclose to top 10 by playoff time. even 2 ties last weekend probably makes a big difference and we had both of those.

So Bearlover, is the glass a quarter full or three-quarters empty?

In view of what was said above about playing level, we REALLY need 4 points from the home RPI-Union weekend.

Wow. What a disappointing win. We should have handled Princeton easily.
We absolutely couldn't handle their first period forecheck, which caused all of the giveaways. We just looked sloppy and incompetent.
We improved in the second, but as others said, couldn't finish.
If Princeton didn't suck so badly, we would have given up the lead in the third (CLANK!). Fortunately, Princeton didn't pull the goalie soon enough. Otherwise, the way they were playing in the last few minutes, they would have tied it up.
Still not optimistic. A win is a win, but it was a nail-biter that shouldn't have been.

And fix this. I barely consider a 1-0 win against Princeton a win after the run we've had.

Regardless of how good / bad Princeton is (and how strong our team is), for the past 10 years, playing at Princeton hasn't exactly been a cakewalk. According to TBRW.info, looks like, since 2006, we are 5-5-1, including last night's victory.
I recall a year where we had a really good team and we got crushed at Princeton 5-0. Don't remember when that was but it always stands out in my mind.
