I went back for the last two periods of Union-St. Lawrence. Best atmosphere I've seen in that building since Cornell-Harvard in 2005. Union is solid and will be a worthy opponent. The Union fans were in great form last night, and the Cornell crowd will need to be more cohesive than yesterday afternoon to match the Union contingent's enthusiasm.

Be kind. Maybe the Union band is small and so they went with the NCAA hoops tourney instead?Jim Hyla

Not only does Union not have a band, their AD is hostile towards visiting bands...
not like our band has ever done anything to draw the ire of opposing ADs...

2-0 Whitney ppg with 2:35 left in the 2nd. Scrivens also broke his own record for consecutive shutout minutes a while ago.

In that case, the live bloggers at USCHO say that no goalie has ever had two shutouts in the ECAC championship weekend.

Looked like P. Kennedy. Shot went the length of the ice from the corner to Scrivens's left. I'm guessing he was just trying to get it out of the zone.shand35

If I'm not mistaken, I think Cornell won the ECAC's when the championships first moved to Albany. So, a fitting end to an era, winning the last ECAC's in Albany. Of course, feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

I was sitting about 6 rows up. PKen definitely collected the puck along the half wall, looked up toward the empty net, paused, and then saucered it up deliberately toward the goal. It covered the entire neutral zone in the air, bouncing only a couple of times before entering the net. To me, it looked like an intentional shot all the way.Al DeFlorio

Edit: now that's what I call a "soul devouring juggernaut." 2 PPGs and lights out defense. Union only had a few good chances on net all night, and most of those were in desperation time at the end of the game. During the 2nd half of the 3rd, Cornell had several long stretches of possession in the Union end that were slightly reminiscent of The Shift (vs. UNH). It wasn't quite men against boys, but a clearly dominant win for Cornell.

And as I always say when this game comes up, it was really the Mark McRae end-to-end, weaving-through-the-entire-Harvard-team goal near the end of regulation that was actually more impressive. Of course, I say this with no disrespect to Sam "Harvard Killer" Paolini.

I've been attending ECAC tournaments since the mid-60's. That was one of the most dominating tournament performances by Cornell that I can recall....In the first period of the semifinal game, Brown had some hope. The subsequent five periods of hockey were absolutely lights out in Cornell's favor. Nice job guys!!

This has to be as dominating a league postseason as any team and goalie has had. In four games, we never trailed and gave up just one goal (in the first period of the first game). As Scrivens said after Friday's game, "kudos" to the Big Red!

Scrivens's continuous shutout time is now an ECAC record, according to the USCHO article by that Klump character, surpassing Mark "Dexshow" Dekanich, who was one of our favorite sieves to heckle from section A during my time.

Tremendous overall team performance. While perhaps we were fortunate in avoiding Yale, I don't know if it would have mattered with the relentless and disciplined effort.
While Greening, Nash and Gallagher have raised their games to even higher levels, and Scrivens (although not severly tested last night) has developed beyond my wildest expectations -- the key to me with this team's growth is the improvement of the "secondary" players such as Roessler, Jillson, Esposito and Collins. We simply have better scoring balance than the past few years.
I was also a leader of the Whitney bandwagon last year, and while he sometimes is a little scary with the puck, I think he will be all-ECAC before he's through. Add D'agostino, Ross and Birch plus the incoming guys, our D should continue to be a strength next year.
A one-and-done tournament is always a crapshoot, but we're going to be a tough out for anyone next weekend.

From Dan Sweeney's (IJ) recap of press conference.
Schafer
In the BU game, we tried to protect the league in a bad way. We didn’t stay aggressive. We talked about that between the second and the third tonight was we have to stay aggressive in what we’re doing and pinching our defensemen and being aggressive with the puck down low in our zone. ... It wasn’t a lack of energy it was a lack of experience of how to play on the big stage.
But a great week for Cornell sports. Women’s hockey and wrestling and basketball. You want this week to keep going.
Scrivens
Even look at Dartmouth. We were really kicking ourselves. We thought we really hurt our chances for the NCAAs by losing that one on the road. Credit to the coaches, they kind of gave us a kick and we responded well.
Staying within myself. Maybe when I first got down here you’re kind of used to juniors where you can get away with a little bit. I probably started to wander a little too much when I was younger. But since I matured so much I kind of realized to stay within myself. I’m not Marty Turco or (Martin) Brodeur. I’m not going to be giving breakaway saucer passes anytime soon. It’s get back there, set the puck for the guys who can move it and get back to the net.
DARTMOUTH GAME: "Eventually you’re just going to have one of those games where it’s a wakeup call for you. I can remember all five of those goals. I admit I played a couple of them poorly. … I didn’t go back to the drawing board. I kind of got back to what I was doing to make myself a successful player on this team."
"It was more of a wakeup call to what was making me successful this year and in past years."

The one advantage to not being there was seeing some of the interviews on TV. Greening and Scrivens were both very well-spoken and neither gave the typical cliched responses. Their answers were well-formed and inciteful. It is a pleasure to know that classy guys like these are representing our program.
