Brown vs. Cornell 2/16

I don't really know what to think of this matchup but if it goes anything like the last time, that would be nice

Play our game, stay outta the box.

According to an email sent out earlier today by the Athletics Department, the Yale game is a sellout but there are still tickets available for the Brown game tonight. Cornell can clinch the Ivy title with a sweep this weekend.

nice to see crowds coming back for the last few games.

Cornell can clinch the Ivy title with a sweep this weekend.

I was wondering about this but that makes sense given that most games have been played and the Ivy teams outside of Cornell haven't been very great

Cornell has two home basketball games this weekend which conflict with the hockey games. Hopefully that doesn’t impact attendance too much.

I’ll be at my first game in a year tonight. Let me know if you want to meet up Bearlover

Mosko and Fegaras back, Wallace and O'Brien out.

4 minutes, 2 posts.

6 minutes, 3 posts, 1 goal.

We're moving our skates on the pp.

Faceoffs: 10-0 Cornell. All centers are at least 2-0.

Colgate and Clarkson both trailing.

Think I just saw you in the bathroom

DeSantis is so snakebit.

Like I said.

Protecting the lead in the third we are 7-0 in shots.

O'Leary making friends; tripped twice out there with no call.

Robertson is unbelievable. He has looked like Lane Hutson (BU) skating circles in the O-zone on multiple different shifts this game.

Shot attempts are 60-18.

Psenicka playing tonight as dominant as he did the first half of his Freshman year.

Why is Grady talking about crowd size with 2 minutes to go and Brown’s goalie pulled??????? He has been a lot better lately with the tangents but this one was inexcusable.

When was our last penalty-free game?

What happened at center ice after the stick salute?

Does anyone know what was going on when several players from each team knelt in a circle at center ice after the game? Was it a prayer circle? Has it happened at other games this season?

Anyone know what the weird little center ice prayer circle thing between O’Leary, Fegaras, and a couple of Brown players right after the handshakes was about?

Someone mentioned it in another thread, but the fact that Whittet is still employed is amazing. He must have some really good blackmail on somebody in the Brown administration because I don't know how he's lasted as long as he has

Definitely haven’t seen it during this season. The Brown goalie initiated it and was clearly looking for O’Leary.

We played our game, and stayed outta the box.

Nice to see you again

They were praying

Good crowd and dominant win tonight. Should have been at least 5-0. This team is really firing on all cylinders (I’m sure they’ll lose to Yale tomorrow now that I’ve said that). PP looked a little better; at least we’re willing to shoot it on net now. And it was nice running into BigDingus in the bathroom. Always fun to see a BigDingus in the bathroom.

A much more consistent dominant game than the last few even with the less scoring. Brown barely even had the puck to score.

Missed most of the game but the highlights were something else. We could have won that game 8-0 and it would have seemed too close.

A nice thing about having a team with more offensive pep is we can hit 5 posts and still win comfortably. There was a time when the monumental bad puck luck we had last night would have cost us points despite the chasm in control.

At least Grady's tangents are short and hardly detract. I'll take anything he cares to mention about any day of the week over Tim "No Doubt About It" Vanini's drawn-out, repetitive ramblings that almost never add any useful information and is borderline homer. I mute the feed anytime he starts talking.

You both have poopy pants. I love Tim and Grady.

Finally, an answer to the Big Red What?

Back. At. The GRIND.

There continues to be a complete dedication to earning the puck in every zone from the bottom of the lineup to the top. There might have been one legitimate hit last night (Bancroft leveling that guy behind the net) but they use their strength and size to take advantage of every situation. In the offensive zone this workman like mentality created a dozen or so Grade A scoring chances. In the D zone they snuffed out just about everything that Brown could muster before they could even attempt shots. Most of the Brown chances against came from poor puck management on the part of Cornell. Would have been nice to cash in on one of those earlier chances but they never changed their approach. I thought the Walsh goal could serve as a nice reminder to their future power plays that sometimes no shot is a bad shot. There did seem to be less of looking for the slam dunk and more straight forward on the one power play they had. What a beautiful sequence on the Stanley goal. I thought Walsh was in a scoring position but that little pass opened things up and the stay at home D man walked right in and picked his post, I mean corner. What a shot! One of my favorite parts of the game was to see how much Schafer trusts his entire lineup to generate offense. Twice in the third period the fourth line (with the converted D man Mosko playing wing) was out there for offensive zone face offs. Pretty important depth for a team with growing postseason aspirations.

Is there somewhere I can watch the highlights?

Watch it in real time, then at half speed. Some really great passing.

It’s so exciting to see us playing like this with such a young team. The ride this season alone has been amazing and I think in the next few years we will genuinely be competing for a national championship.

Huh, why was Mosko playing wing? Did someone get injured during the game?

Pretty sure he was the extra skater. He did take a turn or two on defense earlier

Yes, Devlin went out with an injury.

I’m guessing we don’t want to watch this one at half speed.

I'll own up to that. I hate being a hater and spreading hate. Couldn't help it. *edit* Can't stand repetitive phrases.

At least Grady's tangents are short and hardly detract. I'll take anything he cares to mention about any day of the week over Tim "No Doubt About It" Vanini's drawn-out, repetitive ramblings that almost never add any useful information and is borderline homer. I mute the feed anytime he starts talking.

They’re both fine. Grady just needs to eliminate the tangents. It was truly bizarre that, with the game hanging in the balance, Grady launched into a minute-long discussion about last weekend’s attendance.

I either didn't notice just because he's easy to listen to or, also likely, had skipped well into it after Tim started talking during stoppage?
