"Yale's in New Haven..."
Wish I was there tonight. Keys are: contain Higgins, get *a lot* of shots on Lombard, and use our huge size advantage.
I hope we come out very, very strong. The longer Yale stays in games, as we know, the tougher they are.

The Yahoo! audio feed seems to be connected to the wrong radio station, and is playing oldies. While Yahoo and fansonly.com try to fix that, there's a less-ideal feed at [magazine.14850.com]

Shots in the first were 9-8 Cornell. The Higgins goal was very soft from 40 feet; afterwards Underhill sounded much better.

I tune in late to find 1. We're loosing 1-0, 2. The goal was scored by freakin Higgins from 40' , and 3. We let three power plays go by with no scores!!
But then, as I was just writing this, Matty McRae tied the game through the five hole. All is good with the world)
LET'S GO RED!
Such is life for a Cornell hockey fan.

Was the band playing 'Born In The USA'? Is this part of a new cheer I am unaware of, I didn't hear them play it when I was up at Lynah Feb 8th and 9th (the last time we played Yale). If not, why would they play that song, our best players are from Canada and Sweden!

First, the Higgins goal wasn't that soft, it was a pretty good shot to the corner, though Undy did look bad at first overall. I would say Murray's shot was from just as far away as Higgins, and not 40'.
Second, to actually defend the guy further, Undy absolutely stood on his head tonight, especially stopping a clean breakaway and some great saves on the penalty kill. It's nice to have the old boy back.
Finally, those Yale girl in swimsuits were ugly as shit. Seriously.

I think Underhill played real well after a somewhay shaky start. The Higgins goal wasnt awful, but Matt didn't play the angle very well and gave Higgins lot's of net to shoot at.

It took a while to show the fruits of the labor, but they definitely did this tonight.
As usually, winning puck after puck out of the corner, and putting a pretty decent number of big hits on Yale. Seemed like every big hit was delivered by us....I don't recall any of our guys going down to the ice due to a check.

it was SO sweet to by at Lynah 2nite. nothing like skiing in 65 degree weather b4 the game too.
yale played REALLY well 2nite. great forechecking gave Cornell some trouble.
i thought the goal was soft too but it was a nice shot. the defensemen did not exactly pressure higgins either which was strange.
shorthanded is SUCH a sweet way to win. I am very happy that I get to move to D for tomorrow nite.
great game 2nite, red. underhill made some amazing saves and lombard was off his rocker for a lot of the game. great goaltending both ways. paolini is really turning into a full player. i have seen a huge change in him this season and i love it!

Great game tonight... Always easier to say that when your team comes out on top, of course. As jy3 said, Yale's forecheck was working really well. What I can't figure out is, why (from the way it looked to me) did they stop forechecking after they scored? It was working very well for them, and it really seemed like they scaled it back a little bit, and didn't generate as many scoring opportunities as they otherwise would have because of it.
Thoughts...
- Everybody knows it, but it can't be said enough. Nothing swings momentum like a shorthanded goal.
- Why can everyone score against Yale (2nd most GA in the conference) except us?
- I didn't get a clear look at Higgins's goal, so I can't make any comments as to whether or not it was soft (prevailing opinion seems to be that it wasn't), but for a guy coming off an injury, Underhill played a pretty darn good game.
- If you didn't see it, Paolini's hit on Nam was every bit as brutal (and clean) as Ben described it.
- The officiating wasn't great, but it wasn't awful either. Stuff got missed, but nothing terribly grievous. Better than I usually expect from Dan Murphy, I suppose.
- A "damn good tenth-place team" is still a tenth-place team.
- The Yale brand has an amazingly broad repertoire, and plays it all badly.
- Chris Higgins has mad skills. If he stays four years at Yale, I'll be shocked.
Three playoff tickets: $21
Official game program: $2
Cough drops at Rite-Aid: $1
Watching Higgins give the puck away to Murray for a game-winning SHG: Priceless.

Because they're faster than we are, as are many other ECAC teams. We simply have the size and the depth to compensate and wear the other teams down; as has been said before, over a two or three-game stretch Yale won't keep up with us. It wouldn't shock me at all for Saturday's game to be a goal-fest for Cornell (knock on Bill's cane).
The Yale brand [sic] has an amazingly broad repertoire, and plays it all badly.
True story: The Yale pep band "refused" to leave after the game was over, so they continued to play songs. Rather than let a visiting band take over Lynah, Cornell's band decided to stay as well, and continued to alternate songs with the Yale band. Coach Schafer (reportedly) actually insisted they play the last song of the night, for pride's sake.
Eventually - after nearly an hour of extra music (or so I hear) - the bands decided to play one song together and call it a night.

Yes, I know Yale has a faster team than Cornell. But so does Harvard, and Cornell lit them up pretty well. Anyway, it was more of an expression of frustration than an actual question.

I don't think it was an hour of extra music. A half hour, maybe. After the "Schafer" victory song, the Cornell band decided not to stay, but as it was leaving, Schafer was walking up to the hockey office and insisted that we play the last song. Four songs from each band (and one Swanee from our tubas) later, we jointly agreed to play "Paradise City" together and end it.
The players seemed to find it funny. To the tired Cornell bandies, not as humorous. Some members of the media I talked to were not amused at all - too much pep band meant no tape of quotes from Murray, according to one.

As a fan, I found the band standoff hilarious, BTW. (And in general, it was an entertaining change of pace to have two bands there, even though I was damn sick of the Yale fight song by the end of the night.)
I could have sworn the two bands played Vengaboys' "Boom Boom Boom" together at one of the stoppages during the game, but the guy I asked from our band had no idea what I was talking about, so either 1) both bands accidentally played something that worked together at the same time without realizing it or 2) it was a funky echo effect.

Just because I went to Cornell doesn't necessarily mean that I have a brain!!! Here's how that happened. I was thinking about the sequence of events that lead up to my rediculously long AHH....McRae took that crosschecking penalty which pissed me off, which made me think of refs that really piss me off, which made me think of Murphy, when I meant to say Murray. BTW, I was only listening over the internet, Grady called the goal Undy let in 'soft' several times and described it as a 40 footer, which was the info I had to go on when I described the goal as soft. I love Undy, don't get me wrong, but just like everyone else I have high expectations for this team against Yale or any other ECAC opponent. I for one hope Underhill is the goalie for the rest of the playoffs.

- The officiating wasn't great, but it wasn't awful either. Stuff got missed, but nothing terribly grievous. Better than I usually expect from Dan Murphy, I suppose.
I've got to agree here. Any game Dan Murphy officiates that I don't remember the officiating means he had a very good night.

I dunno. They still had a great shot for an upset coming into this weekend. They were 3 points out of 3rd fer chrissakes. Had 2 of their 12 one goal losses gone differently....

I'm still of the school of thought that you don't go Ivy unless you want the degree, period. Regardless of how good he is, it will take a utter meltdown of the Yale program for him to jump. Given Callahan, Cohen, Hellenmeyer and Higgins have plenty of time left, I think Chris will stick around as Taylor continues to build the program.

Thoughtful comments, John. Agree on all counts.
Yale was a damn good 10th place team.
