Ticketmaster showing seats available for this competition at $60-$89, sections GH behind Cornell goalie (first, third), also Section O visitors. Per game. Two tix in the visitors section, $60 each, adds to $155.02 with fees. Maybe that includes a Taylor Swift T-shirt.

I did not click through.

The AIC sweaters are sweet. Let's admit them and kick out Q.

firewagon second period and it's 5-3 Big Red with 4:30 left in the period.

Completely forgot we had a Thursday game. Looks like I have missed some excitement.

What was the deal with that 4th AIC goal? Were they reviewing to see if it was kicked in?

billhoward
Fourth AIC goal did not appear to come from the shooter's stick. It could have been kicked in by the AIC skater or possibly off the skate of the Cornell goalie, ex-AIC goalie, Ryan McInchak, who'd been in for about 20 seconds. Too bad. 8-3 sounds like a Cornell blow-out, 8-4 sounds like a high-scoring game that Cornell controlled.

Trotsky
The only 2 bad things I saw:

1. The glass Stienburg is chipped again.
2. Shane gives up 3 goals on just 11 shots.

I just want us to win again tonight. 9-5 / 5-3 / 16 PWR is fine to start the new year and gives us a platform to take off from.

Cornell extended its unbeaten streak in home games played on Thursdays to 14. The Big Red is 13-0-1 dating back to the beginning of the streak, which began on Nov. 28, 1963. During the stretch, Cornell has outscored its opponents by a whopping 86 goals (115-28), which includes nine games with five-plus goals.

The Q shots must have been pretty even in periods 2 and 3. Maybe -1? I think period 1 was 18-0.

So what was up with the AIC 4 man weave.. several times they played D with just 4 guys and let cornell have at it while the 5th was hanging out at the other blue line..Cornell just kept cycling the puck for 30-45 secs.. They did that multiple times.. Dont recall the last time I saw a team do that consistently.

Isn't this the hockey version of "parking the bus"? The other team is better, so you clog things up to prevent scores at your own goal, and you plan on a counter-attack to score a goal yourself. In this case, the guy hanging out by the blue line leads the counter.

IIRC, this strategy was quite common when teams visited Lynah in the the late 1960s, almost always to no avail.

OK so I am watching on ESPN+ but through my cable provider, Xfinity. I can't seem to find the setting to turn off the closed captioning using my remote. It's just not there. I didn't change anything from last night where there was no CC. Thoughts?

It's not a big deal but the are a lot of I Sing infractions and a Car Deli scored two goals.

scoop85
A couple of ugly PP’s. As Ugarte might say, there has been zero crispness in our play tonight

three pipes so *some* crispness but my god so many passes back to the blue line sliding out of the zone

I need to see slomo on the second Cornell goal. I think DeSantis may have whiffed on the high stick and then tapped it in from the doorstep but it may have just been a ricochet after Psenicka's shot popped in the air.

That’s what I thought happened too. Grady was going on and on about the high stick, but I think DeSantis missed on the high stick swipe

given how this one started, i'll take how it finished. switching to ... is this BU-Harvard game going to OT the Beanpot?

I could have sworn DeSantis waved and missed with the high stick and the puck dribbled in off his arm.

Nope. It's a regular OOC game at...Walter Brown

BU on a real nice snipe off a 2-on-1 for the win.

One good thing, where by good I mean nobody cares. That ended a 7-shootout losing streak.

I thought DeSantis tapped it in after the high swing but reviewing the video is rough as I don't see the instant the puck enters the net.

thanks this is exactly what i was looking for. you can't see it enter the net, really, but you can basically figure out that it hits the defenseman's arm on the way down. a black puck hits a black jersey and the first person to see it deflect is desantis.

See my pic. It's the stick.

After it hits his stick, it goes downwards towards the ice but actually hits the side of the goalies right leg pad, pops back in to the air but is still moving backwards and goes up and over the line
