The question is, how can they find out how to exploit that potential, not commit critical (if infrequent) mistakes (since they seby Will - Hockey

Re: Keys in a one-goal game - 20 years ago
Overconfidence or stupidity? It's stupidity, to be certain, not necessarily that they are the cause of the resulting goal, but because the fans don't know the tradition. In a one goal game, keys should NEVER be jingled, period.

Re: Ohio State 4 @ Cornell 3 - 20 years ago
Some thoughts: - Offense was much improved, particularly the power play unit. Unfortunately, Ohio State's offense was better. - Ohio State's goals were well-executed, particularly the game winner. Maybe I'm not giving them enough credit, but that seemed like a play they practiced, and it paid off. - Great hustle by the Red to rally to tie it up.by Will - Hockey

Re: Bowling Green 1 @ Cornell 1 - 20 years ago
McKee and defense were both solid. Offense had trouble connecting, obviously, though it wasn't for a lack of trying. It was a good game overall, especially once Cornell got its momentum going, but nevertheless, I'm getting tired of seeing all these ties. I know I shouldn't be complaining, but I know this team is capable of better than ties.by Will - Hockey
