So Much Winning
and so close in the yale game to a totally unblemished ivy slate.Trotsky
In addition to the RS title, we should also stop a moment and appreciate the second undefeated Ivy season since Ned.

It really is an amazing year so far. Hope they can keep it up. They are right up there with the best teams in the country.
This year has been great. If we could only "disappear" Union, we'd also be back to league normality.
It feels like 2010 (if that team had played in a weak ECAC) with an admixture of 2002, although I'm (barely, infinitesimally) slightly less confident in our goaltending than I was during either of those two seasons. (Only because Galajda is a freshman.)
I think this team could go very deep. Whether they do or don't, I think next year will be gangbusters. (All we're missing at this point is a dominant power play.)

All we're always missing, it seems, is a dominant power play.

I know this is a recency bias, but it would suck to lose a national champion from our conference. Union looks to be strong for the foreseeable future.

On the one hand, maybe. On the other hand, fuck em.

I'm not sure whether Union has good academics, but they don't pay their players in the same way that we don't pay our players. Cough.

Union has a very good undergrad reputation with concentrations in the sciences and engineering. Their grad school has an excellent MPA program among other things.
OK, then we don't kick them out for academics. We kick them out for being annoying and having ugly sweaters.
Tonight's win was @CUBigRedHockey's 23rd victory this season. Cornell has won 23 regular-season games only twice before (1967-68 & 1968-69). Tomorrow, Cornell can tie the program record of 24 regular-season wins (1969-70 & 2002-03). #ECACHpckey #LetsGoRed #LGR [t.co]

One caveat is that Cornell didn't begin playing a 29-game regular-season schedule until 1995-96. Cornell played only 24 regular-season games per season in its Harkness Era heyday. #ECACHockey #LetsGoRed #LGR [t.co]

Here are our RS v PS records which I have unaccountably only taken back to 1982 as of yet.cbuckser
