For anyone going and not buying tickets from CU, CU is selling tickeyts in Sec 24.

Here's the LP ticket link.

A win is a win, but given how we've played this second half + home games against Union, and how Brown is red hot, our chances don't look great...

Per Anne, Section 24 is being sold as "General Admission."

Per Anne, Section 24 is being sold as "General Admission."

We bought seats in 24 right after the game, from the Cornell box office. They were selling actual seats in 24, and marking the sold seats on a seating chart. The two people in the two windows were coordinating with one person who had the actual tickets, and a third map, and all three maps were being kept in sync.

So I believe Anne's information is faulty.

Union is a very good team and we looked better than them all three games.

If we play a good game we should have a good shot against brown.

Brown's a good team too. Won that crazy marathon against Princeton; then fought their way against QU coming from behind in the third (and a blocked empty net end of 2nd). Brown making Lake Placid this year isn't a fluke - they capitalized on opportunities when it counted these past 2 weeks. We've all watched enough hockey and sports to know how hot teams in post season is the most deadly...

So anyone have a view whether meeting Brown on Olympic ice favors or disfavors Cornell? The old thinking when Cornell was big and bruising was the extra surface was a disadvantage. Is Cornell now built to take advantage of the ice vs Brown? Or is the regulation vs Olympic debate overblown?

playoffstatus.com gives us a 63% chance of beating Brown and a 93% chance of making the tournament.

Assuming we have a 100% chance of making the tournament if we beat Brown, that means (.63 * 1.00) + (.37 * x) = .93, where x is the likelihood of making the tournament if we lose to Brown.

Therefore, x = (.93 - .63) / .37 = .30 / .37 = .81

An 81% chance of making the tournament if we lose to Brown.

Edit: LOL, they did the math here. Least I can still divide.

Their cut-line is top-15. That's way too lenient.

We also bought right after the game and were able to pick seats. However my email says GA and I'm at work, so I can't check my tickets. When I tried to buy from CU online just now they said "The Cornell allotment includes ALL-SESSION TICKETS ONLY in section 24. If purchasing online, tickets will be assigned best available in the section."

So I think the GA is just because they can't enter the seat numbers online, but you get exact seats.

We'll find out Friday.

cornell had almost 4 k at the 3 games this weekend.. the other 3 teams combined 5k+.. Harvard with 900.. Quin/Clark around 2.

A lot of the locals throughout the Adirondack region mostly identifies with Clarkson. If they wander in for the tournament, you’ll have a good chunk of people cheering for Tech, especially when they’re up there with three Ivies.

I would assume a Cornell-Clarkson final would mean overall good attendance in the tournament.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ in the U.S. with Perry Laskaris on play-by-play and former Cornell captain and assistant coach Topher Scott '08 providing color commentary. The same production can be viewed by international viewers through a different platform via Stretch Internet. The game can also be heard on WHCU (870 AM, 97.7 FM) and worldwide via the station's website with 15th-year play-by-play man Jason Weinstein on the call and Grady Whittenburg providing commentary and interviews from rinkside.

The Big Red's sophomore class averages 1.34 goals per game, which is highest in ECAC Hockey and fourth-highest in the nation.

Senior forward Mitch Vanderlaan (10-18–28) ranks second on the team in overall scoring and third in assists. The Big Red's second-year captain is also the team's active leading scorer with 95 points in 128 collegiate games.

Freshman forward Michael Regush (11-3–14) scored nine of his goals in ECAC Hockey play, which tied for the most in the league among newcomers.

Cornell ranks sixth in the nation in team faceoff percentage (54.4%). The Big Red won 43 of 69 draws (62.3%) in last Saturday's Game 2 vs. Union — including a monster night from sophomore Kyle Betts, who was 19-2.
• Michael Regush (56.2%) and Max Andreev (55.6%) and both rank in the top 10 nationally among rookies. Senior Beau Starrett once again leads the Big Red in draws taken with a 55.9% success rate.

If you think of Brown as a team with the skating finesse of the 2014 Union team and us having defenders all with the speed of Douglas Murray in his final year with San Jose, then there's an added advantage of the wider rink for Brown. But this is a Brown that was 8-9-5 in ECAC play and 15-13-5 overall. They no longer have Yann Denis is goal. Cornell should win. Look, people all already talking about how overall #1 seed Duke will need make it out of its region. (Uh, basketball.)

These 5 minute collapses, are they due to personnel, preparation, or are they just the gods messing around?

We're pretty healthy this weekend, and relatively rested, so shortage of personnel should not be too much of an issue.

Great job so far, Cornell. Anyone know anything about the women's game?

wow, a graphic at intermission! maybe they can do it during the game

Is Mallot out for the next game? Didn’t hear the call.

upprdeck
why did he get a major? did they actually rule contact to the head or just for interference?

upprdeck
was there any replay that showed any contact at allto the head? the tv shots i saw some some shoulder to chest contact

None that they showed at the rink. In fact, nobody had any idea why they were reviewing anything until they sent Malott off. And it was announced a "Contact to the Head" at the rink, but everyone pretty much thought it was a make-up call.
