Re: Women's Team 2017-18 - 6 years ago
It's 1-1 after 2 periods vs Princeton. Refs have been allowing a lot of physicality which plays into P's hands. Specifically, P has been obstructing Kristin O’Neill off-puck to keep her from gaining her game-changing speed. We're beginning to take control of the game and get the majority of chances but P remains dangerous. 2 Great goaltenders keeping it tight in Boissonnault and Neatby. Next goaby imafrshmn - Hockey

scoop85 In the postgame interview Schafer said there were guys “who didnt play the way we want them to” and that there will be some lineup changes tomorrow. Will be interesting to see who he is referring to, as no one stood out to me (other than Bauld perhaps because of the penalty) as having an especially poor game. So typical of Coach Schafer to seem overly critical of convincing performance.by imafrshmn - Hockey

andyw2100 On another note, what the heck was with the band (bass drum) and the counting of our goals (immediately following "Davy." ) Instead of the regular, dare I say "age-old" timing, the beat was much, MUCH faster, and really annoying. This ridiculously fast tempo then continued into the chanting of "sieve" and "it's all your fault!" I know there areby imafrshmn - Hockey

Re: NCAA tourney - 7 years ago
Hooking GREAT game! Speed, heavy checking, great goaltending, and no trapping. Agreed. One of the most exciting college hockey games I've ever seen. Denver's 2nd goal in particular was an incredible display of practically pro-level skills. The contrasting styles of play made for an interesting matchup. UMD looked like the Cornell team of my wildest dreams.by imafrshmn - Hockey

Re: Women's Team 2016-17 - 7 years ago
Tremendous upset victory for Clarkson. Wisconsin's superiority this year was based on fast pace of play, puck possession, high shot count, and good goaltending. We knew their weakness was that their scoring chances were often low quality, but we didn't have the depth to deal with their pace in our two game series with the Badgers. I didn't have a chance to watch the championship, but it seems likby imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Women's Team 2016-17 - 7 years ago
As close as we came in this match, we still overachieved to get to this position. Derraugh's post-game conference: I can't believe it's time to say goodbye to seniors Hanna Bunton, Paula Voorheis, Kaitlin Doering, and Sydney Smith. They go out as Ivy League Champs, which is nothing to sneeze at in women's hockey. So very proud of the seniors and all the rest of these women all season long. I'by imafrshmn - Hockey

Re: Women's Team 2016-17 - 7 years ago
We didn't get the bounces tonight, and the refs didn't do us any favors either. Clarkson capitalizes on a 3-on-2 with under 2' left to likely seal the deal. Felt like a sucker punch but it was very well executed. Stop the presses! EAG for Cornell , 2-1 with a minute to goby imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Women's Team 2016-17 - 7 years ago
Still down 1-0 heading into the third period, I think it's been a fairly successful game thus far. It's always seemed that in order to beat Clarkson this year, especially without O'Neill, we've gotta just hang tough and give ourselves a chance to steal it at the end.by imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Women's Team 2016-17 - 7 years ago
Down 1-0 halfway through 2nd period, but not looking very good for the Big Red. We're getting pinned in our own zone often; defensemen getting caught on some long shifts, and loose pucks out in front of Voorheis often. Without the speed of O'Neill, it's hard to generate decent scoring opportunities. It also seems like we're saving our energy for the third period with very conservative tactics.by imafrshmn - Hockey

Re: Women's Team 2016-17 - 7 years ago
That center ice camera angle sure makes it look violent, but it's really hard to tell what's going on. A ref has a good angle on it and didn't think it was worth more than a minor. So yeah, this league decision is pretty flabbergasting.by imafrshmn - Hockey

BC wins, so Cornell should get in. Big question is whether we get matched up against Clarkson again or perhaps Minnesota-Duluth.by imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Women's Team 2016-17 - 7 years ago
The way the pairwise stands now, Cornell stands a good chance of getting into the NCAA tourney but the scenarios are strange. Using the pairwise calculator (http://www.bcinterruption.com/boston-college-womens-hockey/2016/10/30/13465322/2016-2017-ncaa-womens-hockey-pairwise-rankings-calculator), we see that the biggest source of uncertainty for Cornell is whether or not BC wins Hockey East; this iby imafrshmn - Hockey

I just caught this quote in the Daily Sun article. Did anyone else notice? Coach Schafer “I think our crowd — our students — have to show up,” he said. “We were excited but I saw our players looking up in the crowd and going, ‘Where the hell are the fans? … I know not everybody is back but this has been continuing on here … To skate out and hear the roar of your student body, there’s no betterby imafrshmn - Hockey
Re: Women's Team 2016-17 - 7 years ago
dag14 Women beat Clarkson 2-1. Really sharp performance from the Red. It was a familiar defense-first formula to make this talented but short-benched edition competitive against a generally stronger and deeper opponent in Clarkson. Strong team defending and solid goaltending led to the upset. Both the Cornell goals were greasy. The one that put us up 2-1 with a minute left was a devious littleby imafrshmn - Hockey
