Yale @ Cornell, 11/18/2022

No place like home! Let's rock Lynah tonight!

6:30 and the derp cuts over in time.

Kempf, Wallace, and Andreev all out tonight. McInchak, Mack, Bancroft in.

Things have been really no bueno for Yale so far. They've been shut out their last 4 games. Woof.

1-0 on a grindy tip from Tupker at the end of the first. Getting chippy in the second (both ways).

Great work to hold the puck from O'Leary who centers a perfect pass to Seger who sent it in. 2-0 4 minutes into the second.

Donaldson drives hard passes back from the goal line to Tupker who bangs in his second. Floodgates opening up.

Cornell goes on the PP 5:30 into the second.

Yale surely in the running for last place in the conference this year. Hopkins is basically being left out to dry

bing-bang-bong donaldson up top to mitchell in the circle across to bancroft for an easy tip in and his first Cornell goal on the PP. 4-0. 7 minutes in to the second now.

wouldn't mind seeing keopple get some ice time (and shane a break) in the third

Damn it feels good to outskate Yale.

only concern is steinburg left the ice after getting hit on the hand or wrist early in the period (his glove was still on the ice for seger's goal iirc) and i'm not sure if he's been out on the ice again.

We just need to hope Stienburg's hand is okay.

Yale is not looking good, and I think we’re on our game tonight.

Vanini said Matt's lost glove might actually have confused Hopkins on Seger's goal.

This is the Yale we knew and loved from 1988-2007.

Another PP. Malinski to DeSantis who makes it 5-0 on a soft goal that Hopkinson can't believe went it.

Also, false alarm: Steinburg was back on the ice for the PP.

Every year that passes I feel better about 2013. They caught lightning in a bottle, but it wasn’t the beginning of some dynasty.

At that time, I wished, of course, that it had been us, and I continue to hope that, someday in my future, it will be our turn one more time, but, at this point, I’m kind of, “Good for them. In no reasonable world can they hope it will happen again anytime soon.”

When we have the confidence to play creatively we sure are perdy.

Maybe so, but you don’t have to be a dick about it.

Quinnipiac 4 Princeton 0. OK, so what?

Shots are 12-12.

Hearing Tim and Grady’s break commentary has made these interminable ads far more amusing.

So, let's practice 3x5.

Breaks 301 minutes without a goal for Yale.

I know the broadcasters mentioned Yale was shutout twice in both meetings last year, but I'm pretty sure that was the first goal allowed against Yale for at least three games against them

win tomorrow and up to 3rd by ourselves in the ecac

The CHN box score gives Ian Shane two assists. One on a Cornell goal and one on a Yale goal.

it also has this fuzzy math for shots

Yale 7 5 24 18
Cornell 26 18 15 31

Actually he left both his gloves on the ice.

Besides the usual poetic heartbreak for billhoward, I get to put away the post "Hey Yale, It's November, and YOU CAN'T SCORE."

I'd love to see desantis and O'Leary on the same line for a few shifts just to see what would happen. Who's our fastest/best skating centerman to send out with them?

Lynah seemed to be louder and more full than the last few years. Could be wrong

O’Leary was just a wrecking ball last night. But boy is Yale just dreadful. How did that happen? I think AllIain is an excellent coach-can’t recruit? If you combined Allain and Drury-who can’t coach his way out of a paper bag but boy can he recruit-you’d have the worlds greatest coach.

I wonder if Yale admissions hasn’t been as generous to Allain as they were a decade ago. That’s what happened with Princeton lacrosse in the late Tierney years, leading to his move to Denver.

It was two games Friday: first 50 minutes, excellent execution, some good bounces, Yale shot wide on two gaping (okay, 2 feet on the left side in the second) chances. Then we took penalties in the last 10 minutes esp. the 2-man-down. Shots were like 10-3 in the first, total of 16-4 in the second after the fourth Cornell goal, and 25-6 when the seond period buzzer sounded.

Announced attendance 3,700, every section except the bowl end pretty full by the start of the second period. (photo)

Probably Seger, but I'd switch DeSantis to center and send out Mack. Speed kills.

As a Section C Exile, it was wonderful to see the kids extend all the way from A to H. I hope cheers are starting to sync up again.

And if you combine Allain's recruiting and Drury's coaching, you get Gaudet.

And to Dartmouth hockey, circa 1982. They never recovered.

My impression from some alumni is it happened to RPI in the last decade as well, and they are only now starting to dig their way out of it.

As another Section C exile, now in M, I think you may be expecting too much from sections D,E,F, etc. From the C split down very few students even stand for the Alma Mater.

We are trying our best, but most of the students in the further sections (D,E,F) are not season ticket holders so are not privy to the traditions and chants. (Surprisingly a decent portion of A seemed to not know the chants last night either) hopefully as the season progresses we will get more synced together

Someone needs to bang together a cheer-guide app , then get a big mouth lynah veteran who'll act like an idiot and try to start the cheers, and get them a permanent seat somewhere near the bottom of C.

In typing that out I realized that all the students standing for the whole game makes it more difficult to get cheers organized. Back when people sat for games and didn't stand all game, if someone down near the glass stood up, turned around and yelled their cheer or intention back at the crowd it was pretty obvious it was happening. (Says the not-quite-yet-codger has never liked the stand-all game bullshit)

Dunc, another Section B vet here (normally row A, but currently out with COVID - should be back for Sacred Heart) - I was thinking about printing a bunch of 1/4 cards with some of the basic cheers and then a QR code with a link to a site with the rest of the info, but not sure about the cost or if Lynah staff would yell at me for trying to distribute. I don't think we need a full blown iOS or Android app, but a website that loads quickly on the crappy Lynah WiFi should be good enough.

Given the COVID cancellations and the (insert expletive directed at Cornell ticketing/leadership) single-game ticketing system last year, the current seniors only have the 2019-2020 season of experience (if they went as freshmen) and everyone else is complete rookies. As a super-senior, I've got slightly more than that, but barely. Looking at the livestream last night, it didn't look like D/E were even doing the Alma Mater.

We NEED to get the word out about what we are yelling before Harvard on 12/2.

Shoot me a PM or an email if you want to try and coordinate.

I like the students standing all game, if only because it leads to a marginal drop in sucking on their iPacifiers. I'm hopeful B and D can coordinate and get C on the same page. Also, we did go a whole year without games so it's up to the seniors to make sure all the lore is passed on before they split. This s a good opportunity for some cheer Darwinism, too. If the leaders in those sections do their jobs we can kill remote control goalie Jeopardy forever.

Band’s in New York today, so it’s probably a skeleton pep band. Doesn’t justify piped in crap, because what’s wrong with just letting people cheer or talk? But that’s probably what’s going on.

I heard no piped-in yesterday when the band was better in attendance.

And apparently so is Colgate tonight because they're up 6-0 after two periods. It's going to be a loooong season in New Haven

The Kids are alright. A cheer for Dunc & laserwhisperer for posting here & carrying on. I was worried this forum was going to be ‘65-‘97 old dudes talking over each over forever. Please keep it up.

I was thrilled to see the keys out vs Yale. Lynah’s in good hands.
