Wow they sure are a lot better than we are. Currently 4-1. Was 2-1 when I turned it on, it looked OK very briefly but the difference in skill level in basically every aspect is striking.

The power play right after the first post was kind of hilarious. A terrible outlet pass by Gillam got picked off but it ended up helping the Red, since Harvard's attempt at offense was turned into effectively a 5 on 3 when a Crimson player got caught way behind the play. Cornell cashed it in immediately on a beautiful pass to Angello, waiting all alone by the far post.
And then a Holding penalty on Harvard with 5 seconds left in the period gives Cornell another PP to start the third.

I'm especially impressed with the Harvard commentators.
Are they Shakespearean actors in the off season?
Great baritone elocution.

Are they Harvard guys (on ILDN)? They seemed surprised to hear Safety School chants.Johnny 5

Anyway, Weidner fired in a beautiful pass ~30 seconds into the period for the third PP goal... and now Cornell is back on the power play again.

Now 4-3, but I get your point. Just like in basketball, where Harvard is recruiting guys no Ivy has since Bill Bradley went to Princeton, Harvard has been loading up with top-rated guys in hockey and lacrosse. After decades of relative apathy in athletics, Harvard has gone "all-in" in leveraging its brand in athletics. Ammaker, for one, has made no bones that he wants to compete with the big boys.

Still far better than the new guys they have in the Dartmouth booth, not that the old ones were any good either.

Just like last night's telecast, it's a shame that these rinks don't permit for better camera angles. It's tough to see what's really going on in front of either goal.

Nice scrambling with the extra attacker to no avail. The third period was better but I'm constantly amazed - and this is a complaint going back decades - at how bad Cornell seems to be at passing the puck tape to tape.

You guys need to join chat, rather than post here.

I'm with you on that, but I do think that's getting better, albeit slowly

An undermanned Cornell team came within a goal of a great comeback, but that only obscures the real problem here, as OP stated: there is a massive talent differential in every facet of play between Harvard and Cornell. It's no longer about coaching, it's clearly about recruiting at this point, as Yale, Q, and now Harvard have been skating circles around us for years.
