Cornell @ Clarkson is USCHO's Game of the Week.

Casey's starting to look like Ed O'Neill.

Michael Scott?

Michael Scott?

There is something very The Office about that photo.

Let's call him the love child of Michael and Toby.

Since you mentioned "The Office" I have to post this:

Weighted quite a bit more on the Cornell v. Clarkson side, this article nonetheless deals with both North-Country teams: USCHO GAME OF THE WEEK: Close friends off the ice, Cornell’s Schafer, Clarkson’s Jones take rivalry to the ice Friday night.

I know, it's rather late. Sorry!

CBR reports Donaldson's Goal Helps #3 Men's Hockey To 4-2 Win at #7 Clarkson.

ECAC repeats the same Clarkson Edged Out By Cornell in Top 10 Battle.

Sun says No. 3 Cornell Pulls Off Victory Over No. 7 Clarkson in 3rd Period, Stays Undefeated

Nice quote from the /sun article:

“I think it is a statement win,” junior forward Cam Donaldson said. “We haven’t won very many games against this team. We’ve only won one [before tonight] since I’ve been here and it was huge to finally get a win — especially on the road.”

But terrible reporting:

Though the first period presented multiple opportunities for both teams, it ended scoreless. The competitors looked evenly matched, with equal numbers in the shots category and play happening on both ends of the ice.

Better complete quote from the USCHO article:

“I think it is a statement win but of course, it’s early in the season,” said Donaldson, who scored the game-winning goal on a power play with 9:34 left in the third period. “It’s good to stay undefeated (5-0-0), but we haven’t won very many games against this team. We’ve only won one since I’ve been here, so it was huge to win get a win, especially on the road.”

From CBR:

Shots by Period
Team 1 2 3 Tot
COR  7 17 7 31
CLK 15 11 5 31

clarkson threw a bunch of long shots into traffic but didnt get many inside the dots all night. when they did Galajda made the saves that we needed.

we missed many of the shots we have been making inside the 15 ft range. Those are the shots that if we make we will be solid as we get multiple of those each night so far this yr. Its great when the long range shots/deflections go in but you cant make a living on those.

Aren't all regulation victories pulled off in the third period?

Clarkson did a great job keeping their sticks on the ice down low and making those in close chances harder to convert than they were against the lower quality opponents cornell has seen so far this season.

All in all a pretty nice weekend.

Thank you as always Jim.

Thank you as always Jim.

You’re welcome, it’s actually fun to see how different sites report the same things. Makes me appreciate Brandon every week.

I’m sure it’s been discussed here and I’ve just missed it, but why is St. Lawrence playing in some DIII school’s barn?

They're renovating their own barn, and they're going to finish behind schedule.

Thinking they should serve Fosters in Roos Ice House.

It's a nice time to revisit one of my favorite TBRW pages.

It's a nice time to revisit one of my favorite TBRW pages.

Looking at that page, since 1985, and with the exception of 2002, every time we've taken four points on the north country trip we've also won the ECAC championship.

More than twice the crowd size of the Dartmouth/Princeton game at Yankee Stadium.

pretty cool! I had not heard of this. I wonder if the game at Met Life was,ahem, quid pro quo for using Cortland as the training facility? (sorry/not sorry)

No, not really.

From the IJ the week before the game. Cortaca Jug 2019: How athletic directors collaborated for a matchup in MetLife Stadium.

Best quote to quickly answer the question.

"How it started

Urtz (SUNY AD) admits much of the heavy lifting on this project was done on Ithaca’s side, calling himself a passenger in a car driven by Bombers.

Whispers of Ithaca and Cortland playing downstate, perhaps at Yankee Stadium, had circulated but Bassett (IC AD) said things didn’t become serious until she received a proposal from Marc Hudak in June of 2018. Hudac, a 1990 IC graduate, played football for the Bombers and is president of the New York City Chapter of the National Football Foundation.

Hudak connected with leadership at MetLife Stadium and things started to take shape."

Read the article for more, it's fun reading.

Not exactly news from last weekend, but didn't merit a new thread. Nice article about Barron from the CBC

I've never really played with or against Justin, but turning pro is the ultimate goal for both of us, so I think we're both on a pretty good track.

Well, imagine the two of you playing together next year defending a national championship. Working to make it two in a row could be very special

Justin plays Major Junior, so he forfeited his NCAA eligibility.

That's a great piece, thanks. Had no idea Crosby was from NS.

BOTH end zones had "Ithaca" in it, in IC's colors. So it was clear who was driving the show.

Nice iconography in that page, too. The skeptical bear should be brought back to replace Huggy Bear.

Since you brought this up, can we talk about how awful the new 2019-2020 Clarkson logo is? The one where the knight has weirdly biologically shaped eyeholes and is staring straight ahead? I think it's bad.
