Yale's in New Haven.

Yale's in is in New Haven.

That doesn't fit the meter.

I'm going by listening online and memories of the 2002 ECAC series, so I'm thinking you're right.

"Yay-el's" sounds better than "Yale is" because the latter is too clearly enunciated. You can get away with it with "Prince-ton's in New Jersey" because the "ton" is secondary to the "Prince," but the "is" is equal strength with the "Yale," so you wind up tripping over the "is."

Also, my section's been doing it the good way for 40 years, so I'm too old to change now.

Drives me nuts when I hear the students past 2005 or so do the "FRUS-TRAAAAY-TED" cheer wrong. They've tried to jam the last 2 syllables together so it comes out "FRUUUUSSS-trated". It's the TRAAAAAAAY emphasis that is supposed to really twist the knife.

Islanders fans don't do "Let's Go Isle-and-ers" right anymore, either.

Kids today have no rhythm or pitch. Or adventure. Or taste. Or passion. Or attention.

Dat ass, tho.

Everybody's healthy.

That one-timer was so good that the camera couldn't keep up with it.

These announcers can't count.

FYI, the twitter link score is wrong. Score is 3-0 good guys at end of 1.

The Yale goal was reviewed and called back.

lol i turn on the game and cornell is up 3-0 after 1 and all i can think is "ah shit here we go again"

From what I saw, Cornell gave up nothing 5x5, but the PK had to get bailed out by a Yale goal being overturned by an offsides that occurred ten seconds before the shot and had little to do with the puck going in. Still, a pretty dominant effort on the road and a promising win (though no signs of the PK improving).

Winning Percentages as of now:

.846 Cornell
.845 North Dakota
.844 Mankato

The cameras couldn't keep up with much tonight.

Cornell goalies, wins, career:

78 Dryden
65 McKee
65 Scrivens
58 Iles
57 Galajda

I attempted to take a couple of screen captures of the zone entry that was ruled offside. I'm guessing the ref and linesman that reviewed the play could actually see the puck. We can't, but we can kind of infer where it is, and based on that the entry definitely felt offside.

Didn’t Dryden do that in 3 years while the others took four (except for Galajda, who has the rest of this year and all of next)?

McKee only played for three years.

NoDak and St. Cloud tied 2-2 in the 2nd.

About time for Cornell to go into juggernaut mode. Did I hear the announcers say "first shutout of the year" for Cornell? I knew we'd blown some shutouts late in the third but it is our third.

Clarkson loses to Harvard 5-2 so now we're ahead in the ECAC, 15-2-2 vs. Clarkson's 15-4, sole possession of first. Let's please not choke at Brown as Colgate did tonight, 3-1, such as a choke is when you've got one more when than Brown.

Surprised no one has pointed this out yet, but with tonight's results Cornell has locked up first or second for the regular season.

Cornell - 32 points
Clarkson - 30 points
Harvard - 25 points
Quinnipiac - 24 points

Three games remaining.

I think they meant of 2020, not the season.

Anyone know when we last went a season without a shutout at home?

Which one of the statisticians here has the best record for predicting upcoming games, versus analyzing past games? I'm retired and hate to waste precious time perusing column upon column of numerical historical examples leading to false conclusions. Honest. Who has the most successful record as a predictor of future games? I can read CHN for hockey history.

Age,

If you need a project perhaps we can work on an Ignore feature? It would really help oso not see the stuff that gives him bad feewies.

Apparently no-one is willing to quantify the accuracy of predictions based upon the charts, graphs, and data compilations presented on this site, but I may be wrong.

osorojo
Apparently....but I may be wrong.

Yale center Brett Jewell who was helped off the ice last night during the Cornell game is back in the Yale lineup tonight against Colgate. I'm glad he was not seriously hurt.

Last night announcers said he was back in the third period.

Yup, you got it right.

According to an email from Schafer, it was Bauld who first suggested Yale was offside on the reviewed no-goal:

"Senior forward Noah Bauld was the first guy to say Yale had gone offsides. We checked with the guys upstairs, and Yale was clearly offsides. It was a good call by those guys looking at it, and it was a turning point, as we came right back and upped the score to 3-0 at 13:11 of the opening period."

A reminder that Brandon Thomas is a fucking national treasure.

We probably shouldn't let him write anymore since he exposes 97.8% of all other hockey writing as juvenile and/or inept.

Nothing terribly wrong with the writing. It's just the written analogue to a jar of Marshmallow Fluff.

Yeah, Brandon's writing is fantastic--both in style and in substance.
