Re: 2019 ECAC SF Women: #1 Cornell vs #4 Princeton - 5 years ago
I only saw the game after the score was 2-1. Looking at the highlights, I can't understand why the starting goaltender was pulled? The first goal was a dipping shot through a heavy screen. The second just looked to me like a sweet play. The backup certainly was outstanding though. Great game. Really enjoyed it.by TimV - Hockey

billhoward TimV Swampy CU77 Albany, with Nanticoke back, just lost at home to UMass, 14-8. And Albany was owned on faceoffs, winning just 7 of 26. And UMass was owned on faceoffs against Yale by Ierlan ... Not sure what your point is. I'd be willing to bet anyone on this board that Yale's Ierlan will own us on the faceoff when we play them.

redice RichH ugarte Trotsky And they can rest next weekend. Donaldson does not look hurt. Excuse me, but in his celebration after he scored, he only raised his RIGHT arm. I could guess that he's heavily taped up. Thus restrictimg his ability to raise his arms. @ Rich H: Whooosh? Or no whoosh?by TimV - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Trotsky mike1960 This offense can score on anyone but our defense and FOGOs are not ready for Syracuse.Our #1 FOGO is hurt, right? We looked completely overmatched at FO late. Our #1, Racimovicz, is not a great improvement over what is on the field now. I think Graham is coming along, but needs better wing play. I think the second outright faceoff win and attempt at another goal was not a goby TimV - Other Sports
Re: Penalty Killing Streak - 5 years ago
AL DeFlorio and I used to sit in the telegraph office and get the play by play. Distant memory being relatively less affected, I can tell you yes, this is a current record. But the game was more gentlemanly then. The ruffians pretty much stayed with football. And lacrosse.by TimV - Hockey
Re: 2019-03-01: Cornell at St. Lawrence - 5 years ago
upprdeck yeah the ref looks pretty dumb for calling embellishment on the player and then we he goes to ask why he isnt in the box, he is down he tunnel trying to get worked on because he is hurt. I'd have to look at the sequence again, I only had the view that E+ gave me, but it looked to me that he embellished the impact of the hook/interference by going down in an exaggerated way, but in theby TimV - Hockey

Yep. But he tells funny stories. Some of the stuff from his times with European teams are choice. And Marty, on the plus side, you never ever hurt your team by taking a bad penalty.by TimV - John Spencer Is Dead

Re: Cornell - SLU - 5 years ago
ugarte ursusminor Trotsky ursusminor Trotsky ursusminorSomeone needs to come up with a decent metric quantifying how hurt a team is.Missed games due to injury. Pretty simple. That doesn't take into account how important the player is. Swampy was talking about key players.Then weight by points per game or something. But that really undervalues goalies. come on dude. nobody evaluates goalies anby TimV - Hockey
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
upprdeck tough schedule to play 3 games in 7 days and almost do it 2 weeks in a row with 3 of them on the road Based on the way Towson looked smashing Hopkins, agree that a two day turnaround after facing a tough Penn State team will be a challenge. Still, it's the same deal on championship weekend with tougher opponents. And those two followed by Natty Champ Yale are actually three games inby TimV - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Al DeFlorio Towson 17-8 over Hopkins today. They're at Schoellkopf March 10, two days after Penn State visits. Not in Ithaca. Double header weekend in Charlotte NC. Probably no TV. I might have to make that trip.by TimV - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
upprdeck When it says scoring after 80 secs does that only count when teams run it around for 80 secs and then shoots or is that also if a team takes 3-4-5- shots gets it back and finally scores after 80 secs? Good point. The implication in the article is that 80 seconds or more goes by before a single scoring shot. That may not be true if multiple shots are taken (by an "impatient"by TimV - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Swampy presumably an opposing coach said: Anonymous They have to figure out how to deal with what people do with Teat. Jeez people! Stop it. I guarantee you the coaching staff has worked this out. This team has a lot more this year that opposing defenses have to deal with, especially if Connor Fletcher steps up and fixes his shot accuracy.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
In my kinda humble opinion Yale is monstrously overrated. The same annual rates Yale as the Number 2 attack unit, the number 2 defense unit, the number 2 midfield and the number1 specialist (LSM, G, and Faceoff) unit in the country. This after losing the Tewaarton award and leading scorer from last year, and relying on a thin defense that assumes their boy wonder defenseman Chris Fake will noby TimV - Other Sports
