cornell whiffs on a 2-1 and a couple more hacks early.. there is noone in the bldg, perhaps 1-200 people.
and now the B2 stream is gone..
cornell has missed on 3 different rushes early 1 on 1 with the goalie.
10 to go and kennedy misses on a wrap around and nichols cant put the rebound home with a couple wacks..
zollecek ? scores off a bouncing puck on the PP.. Cornell had the puck for the clear misplayed it , it then bounced around and the brown player swung at it and i went towards the net where iles seemed surprised and let it by..
sloppy goal.
another PP coming for brown.
brown with a long head man pass clears the D for a breakwat and Andy step ups for the save as the player deeked too much
brown with a good cycle and a nice shot from about 10 ft out that Iles stops. since the 2nd PP brown has played much better. a game that CU could easily been up 2-3 goals early, now CU lucky to not be down 2-0.. cornell lots of puck control but no shots, brown played well the last 5 minutes.
cornell goes on the PP 3 min in
cornell playing so sloppy.. 3 guys with the puck and they drop it near the net and noone gets it almost letting brown steal it for a goal..
as the PP ends cornell creates a chance and gets stoned down low again by Clemente
Cornell needs to step it up
Brown scores on a bouncing puck play by Zollecek? cleared the D jumped over a check.. Isles look to make the save and seemed to kick it in trying to find the puck?
cornell in trouble losing to a team that hasnt brought the puck into the zone with numbers all game.. everything off mishandled pucks or deflected/bouncing pucks.
cornell now on PP.
cornell with no good chances during the PP.
brown with huge shift never let the D off the ice and cornell lucky to get a save.. announcer complaining about several non calls..
much like the first.. cornell controlled the period for all but about 2 shifts and brown almost scored on both of the those..
replay shows iles kicked the puck in on the 2nd goal or it was laying on his leg.. The D misplayed the puck and then missed the check.
shots 23-20 brown..
brown playing back and cornell not finishing when any speed.
the announcer is complaining so much about missed call on cornell.. apparently cornell has paid off the refs
clemente with a big save on a partial break by jillson backhand attempt. the pucks are being left on the doorstep and cornell yet to be there.
kennedy with a nice move skates in and clemente stands tall.. then cornell draws a penalty after and extended nice shift. about 10 to go.
announcer wants a 5 min penalty on zolneirchuck ? and gets it now a 5-3 for 1:45
5 on 3 for Cornell, with 5 minute major on Brown
cornell controls the faceoff throws it around and gets no shot thru.. brown clears and cornell gets it back down for a faceoff.. brown dives and clears. cu still not real good shots
finally scores 3:31 left on the PP.. roesler i think after a pass down low is deflected
Cornell 1, Brown 2
Major penalty on Brown continues
cornell wins draw and misplays puck again and its cleared
cornell with awful backhand sloppy crossing pass turns into abreak away shot high.. 1:40 to go on PP.. just so sloppy
cornell scores from Collins. still time on PP..
Another PP goal.
Still major penalty continues for 1.5 min.
penalty expireds but brown loses stick and cornell with several chances.
this announcer is amazing.. still complaining about the major that he at the time says he deserved it.. now it shouldnt have been..
brown shows some life cornell breaks out 3 on 2 and misses open net rebound with 1 to go
announcers says its a real nice crowd, there cant be 40-50 people behind the brown bench?
brown wins..
shot from way outside iles makes toe save and the puck sits for ever and finally gets swept in.
bad loss considering brown played well for all of 5 shifts in the game..
Disappointing loss. On to New Haven.
Heartbreaking loss...swept by Brown.::thud::
When was the last time Cornell went a full season without getting a shutout?
Thanks for the active and detailed game thread, Mike, but seriously - it's ILES.

94-95. As in, the last year before Schafer.
The prior 3 seasons before Schafer we didn't get a shut out. Since then, 62 shutouts in 16 seasons, including 12 in ECAC playoff games.

Thanks. That's the longest run about to end.

What does your statement mean, Isles?
It means that upprdeck referred to our goalie as "Isles," but his name is spelled "Iles."
We knew what he meant. Give the kid a break. Spelling mistakes weren't the problem tonight. The lack of offense on the ice was.

You're right, Toni, I'll lay off.
Quote from: upprdeckbrown wins..
shot from way outside isles makes toe save and the puck sits for ever and finally gets swept in.
bad loss considering brown played well for all of 5 shifts in the game..
I don't know what game you were watching, but sitting in Meehan it was clear Brown was all over Cornell from the opening faceoff until the five minute major. They beat Cornell to the puck all night, bottled up the Cornell breakout, and were in control of the game until that penalty. Schafer even had to call a time-out 2:04 into the third period to kick the crap out of the team because they looked like they were just going through the motions. When was the last time you saw a coach feel he had to do that? Unbelievably indifferent effort by a team playing for home ice in the playoffs.

I couldn't agree more. It was sloppy, they weren't recovering pucks from the boards, they weren't aware of each other on ice and were sending pucks to empty areas (or Brown players), they allowed a number of weak turnovers. I know AJH will have words about this as he and I sat next to each other during the game. They were sluggish, and only during the extended power play did they seem to have it together. While I'm not saying Brown played stellar hockey, they played with greater intensity and speed than Cornell tonight.
Also, attendance wise: all the Cornell fans were on the opposite side of the rink from the Brown sections and there were several hundred of us, easily. Before the game I chatted with high school seniors who have been accepted and were experiencing their first game, an unfortunate one, but they did start learning some of the cheers.

Ugh. This even came across on the radio broadcast. I know Providence is depressing, but still. The 1985 team had an eerily similar (http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/1985/box19850224.html) game at Brown. It was an inexplicably lazy effort after an outstanding January-February run. That team recovered and got to the ECAC SF where they were dispatched by the most dominant squad I've ever seen, the eventual National Champion RPI team.
Quote from: Al DeFlorioI don't know what game you were watching, but sitting in Meehan it was clear Brown was all over Cornell from the opening faceoff until the five minute major. They beat Cornell to the puck all night, bottled up the Cornell breakout, and were in control of the game until that penalty.

We played like this all year, but our record doesn't show it. A lot of our wins after the winter break were mostly luck IMHO.
In any case, looks like we will be missing that first round bye and drawing Harvard:
If the Engineers beat the Bobcats (which they probably will), Princeton loses to Union and beats us in a comparison (tied in head-to-head, but higher winning percentage), and Harvard holding off SLU (likely since they've been playing better lately), we'll be paired up with SUCKS next weekend at Lynah.
But anything could happen obviously.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong but if Harvard beats SLU they finish 10th. If we finish 6th we would host 11th which would be SLU - because they lost to Harvard and own the H2H tiebreaker over Colgate.
We have lost SEVEN points to three of the worst teams in the league. With even just four of those back, we'd be in third, winning the tiebreaker with Dartmouth. We're probably right where we deserve to be.

I stand corrected! Didn't notice that SLU and Harvard were tied in points.
Well, then let's add SLU to the mix. Even if Colgate wins against Brown today, they cannot finish higher than last because they lose head-to-head compared to the Saints and the Crimson. Unless we pull out something special against Yale tonight, those are our two most-likely opponents next weekend.
Quote from: ajh258... Princeton loses to Union and beats us in a comparison (tied in head-to-head, but higher winning percentage) ...
Small consolation, but Princeton cannot beat Cornell in the tiebreakers. They split head-to-head and each would have the same number of league wins (it's league wins, not overall), so it would go to record against the top 4, and due to Cornell's better record that Princeton's against Dartmouth and RPI, the Big Red would get the higher seed no matter which (or even if both) of those teams joined Union and Yale in the top 4.
If RPI or Dartmouth wound up tied in the standings with both Cornell and Princeton, the Big Red would win the three-way tiebreaker based on better head-to-head record against the other two.

So it's top 4 league record comparison? Hmm, did not know that.
If RPI loses tonight, then we still have first round bye, assuming Princeton cannot beat Union? Maybe I should go to the Quinnipiac game tonight instead.

If Colgate tied Yale last night, Cornell certainly has an opportunity to win tonight.

But that also shows how tough the bottom teams can be. Getting a bye is all the more important this year, as first round "upsets" are likely.

That's the great thing about sports! Is a Cornell win tonight likely? No. Is it possible? Yes. Hopefully, it will be an excellent game, as Yale is playing for first place and we're playing for a first-round bye.

The league website does't currently spell out the infinite loop fix, but based on past explanations, I keep a page on the full ECAC Tiebreakers (http://69.31.82.90/~whelan/tbrw/tbrw.cgi?ecac.tiebreakers)

Go watch that second Brown goal. First, crazy acrobatic moves. Second, for the life of me I can't tell how the puck ends up from under Andy's body into the net. Does he accidentally kick it in? Does D'Agastino tip it? My guess is that Iles assumed the puck was already in the net, based on everyone else's reactions, and made a sloppy move. Regardless, one of the strangest looking plays I've seen live.
