Solid all-round effort by Cornell. Rip Van Nash (2G, 1A) now wide awake from his junior / much of senior year [edit fixing dumb mistake:] sophomore / junior year scoring slumber (relative to what so many expected of him); loved the great effort on his second goal where I thought he had no chance because of the bad angle then - bam - in the net. Too bad Scrivens came one goal shy of a shutout. Our PP could be better but it still got one.
It's not over yet. There's still game 2 and we've shown we could choke once before in that situation (to Clarkson) after a rousing game 1 showing. But what an incredible winter season it's been so far vs. Harvard in all sports, both sexes.
I loved the idea of getting a chance to take four games from Harvard this year but was also nervous about the Cantabs' ability to break out of a slump and act, well, Harvard-like in the ECACs of this decade. (As opposed to one-and-done Harvard of the NCAAs.) Now it's looking good. Let's apply the crusher Saturday. LGR!

Picky, picky. But thank you. I'll FMP.

Gallagher has played 30+ more games, though.

Gallagher's point totals sloped up his first three years: 12, 18, 32, then 36 (so far this year).
Nash's point totals were flatter his first two years: 32, 35, then 30 (so far this year). If Riley played at the scoring pace of his past 5 games, he'd be at 60 points this year.

Gallagher has never been drafted (at least, not in the NHL draft).
The 149th pick in the 2006 draft was Juuso Puustinen (http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=95371) of Kalpa Jrs., Finland, by the Calgary Flames.
What's your point? How many factual errors am I supposed to allow you before I stop believing anything you say?
My bad, trying to look up stats, draft info, points for the last half-dozen games online late at night. It explains but doesn't excuse errors. What's the point, you ask. Riley Nash has been a great player at Cornell. For those who hope for more from a player each year, Gallagher has showed improvement since his freshman-sophomore years. Nash had exceptional first and second years but the progression this year was not noticeable statistically, then in the last five games he came through with a bunch of points. I believe if this is transcribed correctly, Nash's scoring of late (past 8 games):
Brown 0-2--2
Yale 0-1--1
Colgate 2-1--3
Harvard 0-2--2
Dartmouth 1-2--3
Union 1-1--2
Yale 0-0--0
Harvard 2-1--3
A player's contributions aren't just G-A--Pts. Nash hasn't let Cornell down except relative to what you hope he could step up to. But Nash has been a real scoring factor now. He's a 60-point scorer at this pace. It's a great time to peak if we're going somewhere in the postseason.
Kudos to Nick D'Agostino for the two goals as well as an assist. Nick has improved all season, and big hopes for a huge post-season flurry!
What ever happened to David McKee? I read somewhere he was accused of rape or sexual assault, and was kicked off his team. Did anything ever come out of that?

There's thread drift, then there's this ... ::nut::
The word you're thinking of, would it be Tourette?
(But a good question for some other part of the site.)
