Seven Women's Hockey Players Make Team Canada Meco Cup Roster (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2012/11/19/WICE_1119125625.aspx).
It took OT but the women beat Dartmouth 2-1. Woods and Saulnier had the goals. I had the game up on my computer but couldn't really concentrate due to a family dinner so have no comments about the game or quality of play.
Unfortunately the Women fall to Harvard as well. (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2012/11/24/WICE_1124121444.aspx) It will be interesting to see how that mixes up the next poll.

Sad that we lost a spot to Clarkson. Glad we'll have a chance at them this weekend.
Canada, with 7 from Cornell, (http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/209154/la_id/1.htm) wins the Meco Cup. Here's the roster. (http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/201516/la_id/1.htm)
So the recruiting thread on USCHO lists four forwards and a goalie as committed for next season. I assume that there will be at least two defensemen coming in as well. So that seems like a large class given there are three seniors on this season's roster. Can I assume that the expectation is that Jenner and possibly others will be out for the Olympics? And will there really be four goalies on the roster next season?

I am aware of one defenseman that has committed for next season. She was select for the Canadian U 18 team that played a three game series against the USA this past summer. She is suppose to be very fast.
Today's NU game has free NU video here. (http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/northeastern.portal?mode=link&eventId=82843&broadcastType=video#)
The BC game is here for about $10. (http://www.bceagles.com/allaccess/?media=342989)
And of course there's always Redcast audio.
NU video has very good quality so far. Syncs well with Redcast audio.

Women win 4-2. Looked good, especially the 42 day layoff. BC tomorrow.

3 new recruits from the same team seems unusual. Does that mean plan B?
Does a 4th goalie mean someone's transferring?

Couldn't agree more. It is so sad when I see such a professional high qualty stream / well done broadcast on all levels and then I compare it to what we at Cornell get. Not only is the quality better but, right there in big letters on their site "All GoNUxstream live and on-demand broadcasts are provided free of charge for all fans," they do it free for all. ::deadhorse::
Score 1-1 Sorry I should have posted the free earlier. The women look quite good. BC came out strong and got a goal at 15 sec. Early shots 5-1 BC, but after that CU looked good and shots ended up 12-11 BC. We still have too many penalties, we are the most penalized in ECAC, 12-1/2 min. per game.

Recap here. (http://www.ecachockey.com/women/2012-13/Game_Stories/20131301_Cornell_BC) Considering no games in 42 days, and no real practices, they looked good this weekend. Obviously could have beaten BC. Unfortunately it makes it hard for them to get ahead of them in the PWR. We need to beat Harvard and then again in playoffs, and have Harvard do well in the Beanpot. We'll never get ahead of Minny, but could with Harvard and maybe second. Much too early to worry.

3 new recruits from the same team seems unusual. Does that mean plan B?
Does a 4th goalie mean someone's transferring?
Plan B meaning we didn't get our top ranked recruits? If so, I don't know. Seems some top Canadian juniors are still uncommitted (at least publically).
Plan B meaning we settled? If so, I am not sure how this applies to the IVYs and non-academic scholly schools. Seems to me in such situations you would gladly take all comers who are good enough to play. We are not holding schollys for the super star recruits, because of limited schollys. That would be a BU, Hockey East situation.
WICE got back to winning ways with an 8-1 drubbing of Syracuse. Jenner scored her second hat-trick of the season, an she's on pace to be the first Cornell player to 200 points since Digit Degidio/Murphy (136 points after tonight). The North Country teams come to visit Lynah this weekend.
The women get off to a slow start [no score after one period] but beat St. Lawrence 6-0.
Quote from: dag14The women get off to a slow start [no score after one period] but beat St. Lawrence 6-0.
Bizarre scoring situation in that game. The first goal, midway through the 2nd (which I couldn't see from Section B), was reviewed and called off, but still counted on the scoreboard, box score, and in the goal announcements. Whether she had two goals or one, it was another great game from Jenner. Campbell also looks more incisive than last semester, and although Woods went off injured in the 2nd after blocking a shot, she came back on and took some shifts in the 3rd. Winning tomorrow is more important.

We're definitely seeing some mojo returning to the Big Red Women... Jess Campbell is back to playing at a high level, Jenner continues her dominance all over the ice, Slebodnick is sharpening up in net... freshmen D Poudrier and Richardson are looking a lot more comfortable playing the system... Jill Saulnier is playing with perhaps more intensity than anyone else on the team... Taylor Woods is a pesky and skillful freshman forward of the Saulnier mold. Freshmen Brown, Zorn, and Murray are dealing with various injuries and might not be back too soon, with the loss of Zorn perhaps most impactful due to her great poise and puck possession skill. Senior forward Erin Barley-Maloney has become a key playmaker, and of course our all-american D duo of Fortino and Rougeau continues to be our bedrock and possess perhaps the most savvy and hockey IQ on the team. Things are looking up, but beating Clarkson tomorrow will be crucial.

There were two reviews in the 2nd period. The first rang off the cross bar and didn't count, which looked like the correct call to me (I was over in H during the 2nd). The second review was more interesting as it looked like the puck may have crossed the goal line and then was cleaned out by a SLU player before having the rebound buried. The SLU goalie appeared to argue that the rebound was kicked in the net. I think in the second review both pucks might have been goals, though the initial shot was close.
Women beat Clarkson 3-1. Overall a good effort against an excellent team, although there were some periods of sloppy passing and poor judgment calls on the clear, etc.
And we were lucky. Clarkson had a 3 on 0 and didn't score....I guess they don't practice that play.

I thought we were excellent and fully deserved the win. Jenner should have scored on that ridiculous set of moves late in the 3rd. We're now tied for 2nd in the ECAC, and we need Sucks to lose some games down the stretch.
We definitely deserved the win but against nationally ranked teams, we can't afford to make any mistakes because good teams will make you pay.
Dag, Ben, agree on all points. Clarkson is a tough team and Erica Howe is a first-rate goalie. Lauren Slebodnick came up huge for the Red, especially in the 3rd. Clarkson was able to keep our defenders honest up at the blue line... case in point was the 3-on-0 which resulted from a gamble by Poudrier to go for a puck in the neutral zone with no support behind her. Pretty damn satisfying win, and a treat to watch. Great intensity and level of play from both teams.

Maybe, but her goal, Cornell's second, was pretty neat. (http://www.ecachockey.com/women/video/2012-13/20131901_Cornell_Clarkson-desktop.flv)
The video of the first goal failed to do it justice the camera angle is not wide enough. Barley-Maloney won the face off cleanly back to Campbell [I think] who was parked in the high slot. Her one-timer was a rocket down low and the goaltender never had a chance.

women beat Yale 5-0. A thorough beat down.
The free video feed from Yale, complete with video replays, was better than any paid RedCast product. From the broadcast announcers comments, I am guessing it is a student enterprise, at least in part.
And Clarkson beats Harvard 3-1, so Cornell and Clarkson are tied for 2nd, four points behind Harvard but both with a game in hand.

Since CU is shacking up with Google in NYC for the moment, maybe someone can go down the hall and get a similar YouTube setup for us?
Women win 4-2 over Brown, Jenner gets a goal and three assists. Clarkson and Sucks (in overtime) both win as well.
Great team success - perhaps Schafer should take some notes..

I'm confused....
Quote from: Sun PreviewBased in Erie, Penn., the Lakers have the nation's third highest scoring offense (4.38 goals per game) and its third highest scoring defense (1.50 goals allowed per game).
...
The Red is the nation's highest scoring offense with 83 goals in 20 games, averaging 4.15 per game. Cornell is also second in goals allowed giving up just 32, averaging 1.59.
Lakers score 4.38 gpg, Red score 4.15. Cornell is #1 and Mercyhurst #3?
Lakers allow 1.5 gpg, Red allow 1.59. Cornell is #2 and Mercyhurst is #3?
Apparently, per USCHO, Cornell is #4 in offense and 6 in defense. Mercyhurst is 3 and 3. The Gophers lead both categories with a 5.65 gpg and .77 gaa.
Maybe the Cornell ranks are ECAC only?
The lesson is to never trust the Sun, even though they likely take things straight from CBR writeup (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2013/1/28/WICE_0128132714.aspx) which has the numbers corret.
The bench has been getting shorter the past several games. From what I've seen, a couple of injured players could be out for some time, but has anyone heard anything about players returning this week?
Quote from: WederThe bench has been getting shorter the past several games. From what I've seen, a couple of injured players could be out for some time, but has anyone heard anything about players returning this week?
It's the same three players who have been out since the winter break: Brown, Zorn, and Murray.

Pittens wasn't listed in the box scores for the Brown and Yale games, and I wasn't paying close enough attention to the video for the Yale game to remember if that was correct.

Sorry, you are quite right. Just went back and watched a bit of the Yale game and I didn't see her taking any shifts.
4-0 win over Mercyhurst after a great first period and some good penalty killing in the third. Union & RPI next.
Root for Harvard in the Beanpot. It's about the only way we can move up in the PWR.

We should also note that Sucks tied 2-2 with Dartmouth, Clarkson beat SLU, and Jenner notched her third hat-trick of the season tonight.

And if we beat Harvard, and they help in the Beanpot, we might get third. Second seems too tough, but I haven't tried to see if it's possible. Maybe someone needs to write a script to do that.:-D
Women beat a pesky RPI team 3-1. 2-0 after the first, an ugly second period where we survived only because RPI is chippy but otherwise inept. Stronger play in the third but all in all, not the best effort from our team. The RPI fans might argue about the officiating [and one guy was pretty vocal throughout the game] but my sense was that it was pretty bad both ways meaning inconsistent calls.

Officiating seemed bad both ways to me as well. RPI put a lot of effort into this game and nearly made it dicey. A lot of interferences and cheap shots went uncalled which definitely played into RPI's favor. Lots of frustration on both teams. Not the best effort from the Red to be sure, but the overall trend in their level of play since dropping the OT game to BC is very encouraging....Campbell, Jenner, and Slebodnick have all been on top of their games, and now the lineup is finally being replenished by the freshmen Brown and Zorn to add some valuable depth.

Sounds like comments here about the RPI men. :)

Our win, combined with St. Lawrence's come-from-behind victory over Clarkson, puts us alone in second, one point behind Sucks. It also helps us by moving SLU back into the TUCs.
And now we need Harvard to beat BC, to move up in PWR.
at least we have something to be proud of this year

It's also going to be a miniscule crowd at Quinnipiac on Friday night if the major snowstorm predicted for CT on Friday materializes. Getting up that long, steep hill to the Q rink isn't going to be fun!
Speaking of, is the snow supposed to be bad for the Ithaca area Friday?
Inquiring, driving minds want to know.
AT this point, all the attention is focused on New England and the coast. Unless things change, travel/weather in Ithaca should be no worse this weekend than is typical for February.

Central New York is on the western edge of the predicted path of Nemo and likely west of the area where the normal snow/air movement from the west collides with the mass moving in from the south, which is why I said, "unless things change." That is why we have a winter storm watch in effect. Ithaca currently shows 2-4 inches expected Friday into Saturday. That is pretty normal for February.
Of course, it is crucial to factor in where one is driving to Ithaca from....Rochester and Syracuse -- not bad. Philly to Ithaca could be a mess. Unless you leave today!
This question applies to both the men and women, but since we're talking about the weather here, this seems as good of a place as any to post it. As has already been mentioned, Hamden is expected to get a lot of snow tonight and tomorrow morning. What happens if the roads are closed and our women's team can't get to Hamden and/or Q's men's team can't get to Ithaca? I assume the games would be rescheduled for a Sunday or a weeknight? How often does it happen that games get canceled due to weather? I don't think it's happened in the last few years. This problem would probably also affect Harvard and maybe Dartmouth (I'm not sure if they're in the storm's path that far north).
I think the women are already on the road. They practiced this morning and I know they travel today. I am also fairly sure that the Q'pac men's team will arrive in Ithaca today. Most teams travel on Thursday since Ithaca is several hours away from every other team except Colgate. Even Union and RPI tend to come in the day before.
According to CHN all four Hockey East men's games scheduled for Friday have been postponed.
Friday's women's game has been moved up six hours (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2013/2/7/WICE_0207132604.aspx), from 7 pm to 1 pm.

I love how on the current CornellBigRed page (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2013/2/7/MBB_0207134650.aspx) where they talk about all the cancelations and time changes, they headline it with a picture of the men's team and then at the end say their schedule is not expected to change. Maybe they think the picture will capture attention or is it false advertising?

Judgment call. How about giving benefit of the doubt to the trained professionals?
A lot of Boston is shutting down already (BU no classes, Harvard cutting back at noon (or is that every Friday?). GoHarvardDotCom could use something like this:

Cornell sent out an email this morning noting that there is no current plan to close the university but that there always remains the possibility that things might change. It isn't snowing here yet and snow is predicted to start early afternoon. Local weather forecasters, unlike the Weather Channel, are currently predicting 3-5 inches locally today with more accumulations possible overnight.
Snowing quite hard in New Haven area. Will be surprised if more than a handful of fans make it to Q for today's game. I won't be among them!
Looks like the game will be streamed for the snowbound:

Surprised if more than a handful of fans make it to any Q game? If the 6"-12" of snow planned for NJ doesn't materialize or gets plowed, I want to try to make the Princeton women's game Saturday at 4.
3" of snow in Ithaca is not an emergency situation.
Predictions in Ithaca are now one inch of snow by 6 p.m. with more presumably falling over night. But how much more and how quickly it accumulates remains an open question. So with any luck, those already in central NY can get to the men's game and home again without incident.
Quote from: dag14So with any luck, those already in central NY can get to the men's game and home again without incident.
The way the men's team has been playing, perhaps it's better luck if they can't make it to the game!
I couldn't get the audio or video from the Q site. But ... surprisingly... the Redcast audio feed is up and running. However, I tune in and Q scores :(.

The last time I dreaded a weekend the way I do now was during the spring of '95,
2-0 Q after 2
3-0 EN SH
3-1 PP 1min
4-1 EN
So, I didn't get to see the game, except for the last 7-8 min. Did anyone see how we did in the beginning?
Quote from: Jim HylaUp to 3 in PWR. We could overtake BC, with some help. Of course that requires us to win out.
Maybe I should shut up.
Loss drops us back to 4th in PWR. Sucks plays back-to-back-to-back from Sunday through Tuesday against Yale, @Dartmouth, and then against BU. Their game against Brown will be a week from next Tuesday. Hopefully their busy schedule will result in dropped points.

But beat BU.

4-1 over Princeton this afternoon.
Quote from: dag144-1 over Princeton this afternoon.
Nearly got a good break in the Clarkson-Union game. Union led twice, but Clarkson came back to win. We're joint top with Clarkson on 30 points, Sucks is third with 29 and two games in hand.
Team dominated Princeton but could not open up a 1-0 first period lead. Felt like Cornell far outshot Princeton. (States: 46-15 shots.) Trying to shoot from the point through a swarm of players did not work. Nor did superior passing (couple nice behind-the-backs) when the final pass / shot didn't go in the net. Princeton tied early in the third. Cornell pulled away late plus an ENG for the 4-1 final score. Tough weekend to play on the road (not that it helped the men) with a long bus trip from Quinnipiac to Princeton after the Friday loss at Q.
Huge game coming up for the Red against Harvard on Friday... It's being promoted pretty heavily, they're giving away rally towels, and it's the only game in town. Cornell vs. Harvard has become a pretty fierce rivalry on the women's side in the past couple years. Some talk (https://www.facebook.com/events/461666503898868/) in the air about letting the fish fly for the first time at a women's game. Calling all ye Faithful to pack Lynah Rink, give these ladies some loud support, and maybe start a new tradition. Unfortunately I cannot go, myself.

I will buy and throw fish for Friday if I know that I won't get kicked out of Lynah. But I doubt that will be possible.

I agree, I doubt you'll have the strength in numbers as with the men. Nowhere to hide. Plus the women could be penalized with the game held up. Not a good idea in a crucial game.
A goal for this game (other than winning) is to fill Lynah Rink for the first time for a women's hockey game. Students and CU Staff get in free. I believe that tickets are just $6 each for the rest of us.

I really hope they sell it out. With students getting in free, everybody should bring 30 of their best friends.
At the very least, everyone should bring fish posters. Same goes for those traveling to Lynah East.
Quote from: jtn27At the very least, everyone should bring fish posters. Same goes for those traveling to Lynah East.
A crowd full of different fish posters would be far, far cooler than throwing fish, and lot more creative.

Creative, yes. Cooler, perhaps. But more memorable? More intimidating? More outrageous? More likely to become a tradition? Actual fish on the actual ice. I'm not surprised to see that the alumni on ELF don't want to get thrown out of the rink or cause a scene or be embarrassed or whatever middle-aged people might reasonably be concerned with. It's up to the students, plain and simple. And if the rink staff are ready for it, like with the men's game, no reason it should result in a delay of game.

There's really nothing "outrageous" about the fish tradition anymore. I'm all for continuing it, but we've just been going through the motions for years.
Tying a chicken to the net was pretty outrageous. But the problem with traditions that commemorate specific events is they wind up just being me-too-ism. The first guy to throw an octopus on the ice in Detroit was a performance art genius. The hundredth guy? Not so much.
Note that this is not "embarrassment with causing a scene." PLEASE cause a scene -- that's what adolescence is for. If anything it's kind of sad that teen rebellion has become so imprisoned in the distant, long-dead carcass of reenacting what were the once daring actions of their middle aged precursors. "If your parents like your music you're doing it wrong."
I'd love to see the womens fans come up with a completely new and off the wall tradition of their own. And by all means, as jaw-droppingly offensive as possible. :)

Well said, Greg. I agree 100%. And, frankly, this goes for the mens' team's fans as well: I'm sick of Lynah being stuck in some late-90's repeating loop tape that sounds worse with each passing year. Fuck the old traditions: come up with some new ones, get people excited, and make noise.

Speaking of, there was a couple at the Friday game with half-and-half Q/Cornell jerseys and "Hilbrich" on the back. I assume that was John and Sue Hilbrich.

I think this is just another symptom of its not really being fun anymore. I can only speak from my own experience, but as much as I like hockey, what really got me excited to go to games as a student was the whole experience, which meant symbiosis between the team and the crowd. The crowd energy that existed in 1996 is simply missing nowadays, so I know if I were still a student I would have a much harder time caring: the game wouldn't be my number one priority. Not sure how you fix this.

I'll lay aside my belief that "you make your own fun" for now, but this has been a gradual slide since the early 2000s, and by the very solid and fun 2005-06 seasons, seeing big holes in the student sections by the opening faceoff was the norm. Now it's entire sections. Maybe one can make the argument that some air escaped the balloon after a dominant 2003, thus breaking the upperclassmen-teaching-freshmen chain, or maybe the old success-breeds-entitlement arguement applies, but I really think it's more of a cultural change. Collegiate social activities are now structured differently now, and the connectivity that current students have simply has had a greater impact on how things are done. Waiting around in an arena even 30 minutes before the puck drops isn't as attractive an option anymore compared to getting other priorities taken care of. I can't talk to how the social rituals have changed (Maybe the fact that collegetown bars are a dying species is another symptom?) but since things can now get done on the move, its less of a commitment to work/eat/pre-game/meet-up on the fly. Before this era, there was a lot of "let's meet at the rink at 6:15" planning ahead of time, and you don't have to do that now.
Similarly, look around at a game, and there's not a lot of noise being made during stoppages at all. There's a lot of device-checking happening instead, which is a cultural change in ALL aspects of life, for both young and old. We're conditioned now to check the facepages, twits, and the instaflikrs given any downtime, and a whistle at a hockey game is just a perfect Pavlovian "OK, things have stopped" signal. Maybe it's not a lack of connection between the fans and the team, just that that connection has been replaced with a stronger, more omnipresent, accessible, and personal one between the fans and the digital world that's sitting in their palms.
Yep, it's hard not to sound like a "Kids These Days" grandpa, here, (and I'm guilty of some of the above behavior too, I'm ashamed to say). I'm really not trying to fault anybody here...I'm just trying to explain it.

We've also been trying to do "Great Taste/Less Filling" after each Miller goal since the end of last season, but he hasn't had many home goals since we thought of it. I think we've done it twice.

Based on the SSS of the two games I saw last weekend (my first at Lynah in 5 years), I believe if you give the fans a reason to get into it, they'll get into it. Cornell gave the fans just one goal over 120 minutes and was putting the last touches on a 7th straight loss (with no wins at Lynah in 9 weeks), and yet the students were very loud and excited over the final five minutes Saturday.
Don't get me wrong -- smart phones have turned kids into joyless, uninteresting sheep. BUT it's not that social ill that's a downer for the Cornell crowd. The '87 and '93 crowds were pretty uninspiring, too. Just win, baby.
jtn27 and I have been keeping track of the people around us in B -- in front and to our left (towards A) are mostly facetimers, and the people directly in front of us haven't showed up before 7:25 for any 7 PM starts this season. The best way to fill up the student sections earlier is to base the quality of the viewing experience on punctuality -- make them general admission.
In other WICE news, Sucks beat BU in the Beanpot Consolation, re-arranging #3 through #5 in the Pairwise. It's Sucks, BU, Cornell, pending NE-BC for the Beanpot title. We want Northeastern to win and SLU to get back above Q at the bottom of the TUCs. And beat Sucks on Friday.

My favorite was when the girls next to us decided that the middle of a game would be the perfect time to do each other's hair.

During the 2006-2007 season, a friend of mine got threatened by an usher for being too loud/annoying. The friend wasn't swearing, or saying anything off-color. Just a lot of "you suck, I bet you're sick of hearing me (he had moved from B to D to follow the sieve), etc." An usher told him to tone it down.

Allow me to move the goalposts a little. He wasn't saying anything that you don't normally hear at Lynah, or that would get you kicked out. He was more annoying than insulting, and certainly not offensive, yet the usher threatened to toss him. I posted about it here, but most people figured my friend was swearing.
For all I know, the usher misheard him and thought he said something worse than it did, but it wasn't a good sign.

I actually see it your way, when it's a matter of "suck" and Section B. Local community standards dictate what is smut, and the word is unremarkable for that locale (though mind-numbingly dull).

I actually see it your way, when it's a matter of "suck" and Section B. Local community standards dictate what is smut, and the word is unremarkable for that locale (though mind-numbingly dull).
But you're not being fair to RIP. That's their only cheer (with novel variations such as "Clarkson still sucks" ).
Quote from: TrotskyQuote from: RichHQuote from: Kyle RoseQuote from: RichHWell, showing up with 5:00 left in the 1st is a new tradition.
I think this is just another symptom of its not really being fun anymore. I can only speak from my own experience, but as much as I like hockey, what really got me excited to go to games as a student was the whole experience, which meant symbiosis between the team and the crowd. The crowd energy that existed in 1996 is simply missing nowadays, so I know if I were still a student I would have a much harder time caring: the game wouldn't be my number one priority. Not sure how you fix this.
I'll lay aside my belief that "you make your own fun" for now, but this has been a gradual slide since the early 2000s, and by the very solid and fun 2005-06 seasons, seeing big holes in the student sections by the opening faceoff was the norm. Now it's entire sections. Maybe one can make the argument that some air escaped the balloon after a dominant 2003, thus breaking the upperclassmen-teaching-freshmen chain, or maybe the old success-breeds-entitlement arguement applies, but I really think it's more of a cultural change. Collegiate social activities are now structured differently now, and the connectivity that current students have simply has had a greater impact on how things are done. Waiting around in an arena even 30 minutes before the puck drops isn't as attractive an option anymore compared to getting other priorities taken care of. I can't talk to how the social rituals have changed (Maybe the fact that collegetown bars are a dying species is another symptom?) but since things can now get done on the move, its less of a commitment to work/eat/pre-game/meet-up on the fly. Before this era, there was a lot of "let's meet at the rink at 6:15" planning ahead of time, and you don't have to do that now.
Similarly, look around at a game, and there's not a lot of noise being made during stoppages at all. There's a lot of device-checking happening instead, which is a cultural change in ALL aspects of life, for both young and old. We're conditioned now to check the facepages, twits, and the instaflikrs given any downtime, and a whistle at a hockey game is just a perfect Pavlovian "OK, things have stopped" signal. Maybe it's not a lack of connection between the fans and the team, just that that connection has been replaced with a stronger, more omnipresent, accessible, and personal one between the fans and the digital world that's sitting in their palms.
Yep, it's hard not to sound like a "Kids These Days" grandpa, here, (and I'm guilty of some of the above behavior too, I'm ashamed to say). I'm really not trying to fault anybody here...I'm just trying to explain it.
Based on the SSS of the two games I saw last weekend (my first at Lynah in 5 years), I believe if you give the fans a reason to get into it, they'll get into it. Cornell gave the fans just one goal over 120 minutes and was putting the last touches on a 7th straight loss (with no wins at Lynah in 9 weeks), and yet the students were very loud and excited over the final five minutes Saturday.
Don't get me wrong -- smart phones have turned kids into joyless, uninteresting sheep. BUT it's not that social ill that's a downer for the Cornell crowd. The '87 and '93 crowds were pretty uninspiring, too. Just win, baby.
I agree, I was impressed with how well attended the games were and that the students did cheer. Do they get there on time, NO, but that has been for >15 years. Remember why coach changed the senior presentation to after, rather than before, the game. They come late, but do come. I don't know where the prior comment that whole student sections are absent comes from. I've not seen that.

B was less than half-full for the first period of the game against Q.

C was very sparse last weekend, but that's because it's not students, but us old traveling (or in this case, not traveling) farts.
The kids are alright. They may be the only ones who
haven't given up on the team (including some members of the team).

A lot of the rink was less than full at beginning of the Q game. It took me 2 hours to get down from Syracuse, usually 1 hour. Fortunately I left at 5. Not that that should matter for students. More impressive to me was the very good crowd for P. At least most fans haven't given up.
Quote from: Jim HylaAt least most fans haven't given up.
Yeah, I never understood the "I've given up on the season, so I'm not going to go" way of thinking. I like hockey, I like watching hockey, and as long as it's not a despicable effort or embarassing thuggery (neither sounds true), it will still be entertaining for me to watch and cheer. Sure, it's always a better feeling to win every game you see, but I can't honestly say I don't have fun when I'm at any game.

The legacy of missing the playoffs your first three seasons is you never, ever think winning is the point of going. It's the point of the team's play, but not the fan's experience.
This may also be 42 years of being a Mets fan.

I don't get it either. I go hoping for win, and well played hockey win or lose. I also go to watch the freshman and see who I think will develop into hopefully a stud player or two by their senior year.
Someone at Lynah on Friday will have to check during the anthems to see if Jess Brown follows through with this:
Just a reminder for those in TWCNY area, who can't get to the game or who would stay at home to watch the men, the women's game with Harvard is on TWSports channel.
Women's victory tonight moves them into 1st place in the ECAC, with Clarkson losing to Princeton. Cornell is now 16-3 in conference, Harvard is 14-2-1, and Clarkson is 15-4. We've gotta win out and hope that Clarkson beats Harvard in Cambridge on the 23rd.
More ominously, the lady goofers are 30-0 and ranked number one. If they win their remaining games, they'll be the first undefeated, untied D-1 hockey team since 1970. Can't let that happen.

Great effort tonight, could definitely have scored more. The second line looked more dangerous, and Campbell seemed to have a bit of the top-end speed from last year. Sucks also hosts SLU (who tied with Q tonight, keeping Q as the last TUC) next weekend. Unlikely that Sucks would lose either of the rescheduled Yale or Brown games, but with six games in twelve days, it could happen.

They're about to go 31-0-0 with an 8-0 win over Bemidji State. I don't know how anyone can beat them.
The Harvard goalie has a GAA of 1.24 so scoring 3 goals is actually quite good....She made some phenomenal saves tonight.
Laura Bellamy, Harvard's senior goaltender, leads the nation in saves percentage [.958] and GAA [.078]. Does anyone know why she did not play tonight?

They've been platooning all season. Don't mess with the rotation?
Official attendance was 2182. More importantly, there were a lot of raucous students in the crowd, as well as the band. At the end of the game, several players took a run and jumped against the glass at Section D where the wrestling team and friends had been leading the cheers throughout the game.

The women's game vs Dartmouth is on Redcast beginning (pregame) at 3:30 this afternoon for others who are trapped inside with this ooky weather.
Current standings (http://www.uscho.com/standings/division-i-women/2012-2013/) and stats (http://www.uscho.com/stats/team/cornell/womens-hockey/2012-2013/).
Halfway through Senior night, still scoreless vs the Big Green.
Edit: Halfway through the third, still 0-0.
Women are as accomplished at shooting at the goalie's chest as the men.
3:25 to go in regulation, we go on pp. This just moments after we lucked out when Dartmouth made a perfect pass right in front but the Green simply muffed the finish.
Edit: Dartmouth shut us down on the kill.
The Lynah crowd sounds great.
After a Cornell goal in ot is waved off, we settle for a scoreless tie. Very exciting game.
0-0 Would be nice to see the no-goal.
Only goal was the dude who hit the between period $10,000 slapshot jackpot. Anyone get video of that or have a capture of the game stream? That was a ridiculous shot. Through a puck size hole from the far blue line on one attempt.
I saw the board up close. The hole was literally 1 inch larger than the diameter of a puck.
Here is video of the $10,000 winning goal potted by Rich Trinkl; this goes on the list of crazy things I've seen at Lynah:
[video]www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqd80O2dKbc[/video]
Hope the radio station had insurance on the contest.
I worked this all out, so I may as well share. These are the possible RS results and playoff seedings...
Current Table
Schools ------- Pts Conf All
Cornell -------- 35 17-3-1 22-5-1
Harvard ------- 34 16-2-2 20-4-3
Clarkson ------ 34 17-4 25-8
St. Lawrence - 28 12-5-4 17-11-5
Quinnipiac ----- 27 12-6-3 18-10-4
Dartmouth ----- 24 10-7-4 15-8-5
Rensselaer ----- 18 8-11-2 10-19-4
Princeton ------- 14 6-13-2 11-15-2
Colgate --------- 13 5-13-3 10-19-3
Brown ---------- 10 5-16 6-19-1
Yale ------------ 9 3-14-3 4-20-3
Union ----------- 4 0-17-4 7-22-4
Us, Harvard, and Clarkson will be the top three. We play at Union, and Harvard hosts Clarkson. I will assume that Harvard will beat Yale on Tuesday for the purposes of these permutations, as it is extremely likely.
If we beat Union, and Harvard beats Clarkson, Harvard will win the RS title and home ice. Clarkson will finish third.
If we beat Union, and Harvard and Clarkson tie, we are guaranteed to finish first (the first tiebreaker, head-to-head, is tied; we would win the second tiebreaker, wins, with 18 to Harvard's 17). Clarkson will finish third in this scenario.
If we beat Union, and Clarkson beats Harvard, we will finish first on 37 points, and Clarkson will finish second, beating out Harvard on the tiebreaker (head-to-head).
If fail to win against Union, then Harvard or Clarkson will take the RS title.
SLU and Q will be 4 & 5. If Q beats Brown and SLU ties with Dartmouth, or Q ties with Brown and SLU loses to Dartmouth, Q finishes 4th on head-to-head.
Dartmouth is locked into 6 and RPI into 7.
Colgate can finish 8th if they win at RPI and Princeton fails to win at Yale (Colgate wins the head-to-head tiebreaker).
In short, we need to beat Union and root for Clarkson.
Cornell & Clarkson both up 2-0 after 1 per.
Women beat Union 4-0. Clarkson beats Harvard 3-1.
Quote from: dag14Women beat Union 4-0. Clarkson beats Harvard 3-1.
Put another way: four straight RS titles. Yale beat Princeton and Colgate won, so we will face Colgate at Lynah next weekend.
And we're second in the PWR. (http://www.uscho.com/rankings/pairwise-rankings/d-i-women/grid/)

Quote from: Chris '03Cornell 5-4 in OT in game one with goals at 19:19 (3) and :39 (OT).
Wild game with a lot of penalties. 43 PIM, which is the most I can remember seeing in a women's game. Gagliardi got 5+Game Misc for what I thought should have been a simple two-minute boarding penalty near the end of the first period, for a hit down in the corner by Section A. Six of the nine goals were PPGs, and Slebodnick will be cursing her luck on the first two Colgate goals -- one was a 5x3, and on the other Colgate got a 3-on-1 after a Cornell stick snapped when one of our players was trying to whack the puck down their end from center ice. Saulnier was notably absent, but Jenner was brilliant, scoring three goals and adding two assists for her fourth hat-trick of the season.

The Colgate player went down, and got back up, quite easily. I agree with you, thru my shaded eyes, it was not a particularly egregious penalty. She skated pretty softly into the 'gate player.
Ithaca Journal article (http://www.theithacajournal.com/article/20130301/SPORTS03/303010097/Cornell-women-topple-Colgate-overtime-ECACH-tourney-opener) says Saulnier is day-to-day and won't play Saturday. Hope it's not too serious.
I disagree; from my angle in section N, she hit the player squarely from behind in a clearly illegal check. I would not at all have characterized it as "skating pretty softly." My thought at the time was surprise -- I think it would have been called in a men's game. It was a stupid hit; she made no effort to avoid or minimize the contact and earned the first major penalty I can remember seeing in a Cornell women's hockey game. You don't have to paralyze a player for life to earn a major and GM for hitting-from-behind. The point of the sanction is to prevent harm.
I am a huge fan of Coach Derraugh and Cornell women's hockey so I don't make this statement lightly: Cornell was awful in the first and second periods. Stupid penalties, bad decisions on the clear, poor passing and careless mistakes. In spite of that, they outshot Colgate 2-1 but were losing on the scoreboard. They got their act together in the third period and started to play with focus. It was pretty clear that there was no way Brianne Jenner was going to lose that game, even if she had to play the entire third period herself. Which it looked like she came close to doing.
This is a team that can go to the Frozen Four if everyone is healthy and they stay focused. They clearly have the skilled personnel; they just need to nail the mental game.

They couldn't get out of the defensive zone for most of the the last ten minutes of the second period. It was probably the worst stretch of play I've seen at home in the last two and a half years. As you said, they got their act together and created three good chances (including the goal) in about thirty seconds of overtime.
The game had a bit of the same feeling as Game 1 from two years ago against RPI, when Cornell played badly and trailed 2-1 until Johnston scored a stunning equalizer with 7 seconds left. They won it early in OT, and then crushed RPI the next day to win the series.
Jenner is a tremendous talent with her combination of size and skill. How do you all think she compares to Johnston?

What an amazing comeback. 2 goals in the last minute to secure the victory. Will need to play much better next weekend if they want to secure the ECAC championship.

Rough day for Colgate athletics. Between this, the lacrosse game, and their men's hockey team already lost 5-1 to Brown today.
Quote from: Cop at LynahWhat an amazing comeback. 2 goals in the last minute to secure the victory. Will need to play much better next weekend if they want to secure the ECAC championship.
Probably beats yesterday for drama. Again, they didn't play at their best, particularly in the first, but they improved as the game went on, and Colgate collapsed in the final minute. We'll play Q or SLU on Friday in the semifinal -- Q won today in the 3rd overtime to force a Game 3 tomorrow afternoon.
On the Jenner/Johnston comparison, it definitely seems like Jenner has developed, over the second half of the season, into the totally dominant force that Johnston was for WICE the last two years. She beat at least one player with her puck handling on nearly every zone entry tonight.
To show how little is thought of the women, the ECAC site has all the game stories, but still shows Clarkson and us playing at 4PM today. The men's side is OK.

You really have to feel for the Colgate team. They really brought it for the playoffs, and got nothing but heartbreak to show for it.
I've watched those videos several times now, and I still don't know how Rougeau's shot found that top corner for the equalizer. She started her wind-up as soon as the puck squirted backwards off the faceoff, and three bodies were converging in her shooting lane at contact.
I can think the words "amazing" and "incredible" a few hundred times more, and it still doesn't accurately describe what happened this weekend. And it only gets tougher from here on out.
Let's Go Red.

The third goal was sooooooooooo soft. Credit goes to the team that played until the buzzer.

Is there any reason these games have to be played in the afternoon? Night games would draw far better attendances.

Not unless they wanted those of us who would be watching the men, in person or on computer, to also have a chance to watch the women. Personally, since I'll be in Princeton, I like the idea.
Sunday game has to be early because of NCAA selections, which are that night at 6 p.m. They can't play that game at 7. Maybe the latest would be 3 p.m. start, but that's pushing it if SLU wins because they're not going to get a bid unless they win. That would only give committee an hour to redraw the bracket.
That said, not sure about Saturday's reasoning.
::EDIT:: Also, just checked on other conferences. Hockey East is a 1 p.m. start Sunday for the title game. WCHA plays its title game on Saturday at 7. CHA, which doesn't get an autobid, is also playing on Saturday.
::EDIT 2:: And now that I think about it, Saturday's games have to be early because having someone play at 7 p.m. Saturday and then 1 p.m. Sunday would be a pretty short rest. So with early Sunday a mandate, early Saturday makes sense.

Originally, the schedule on the ECAC site had the games as Friday 4/7 and Saturday 4. No explanation for the change.
Ah, these women are students? Playing Sat/Sun means they can miss fewer classes? Nah, there must be some other reason for the schedule

Don't forget that DST begins on Sunday, so that means that there is even an hour shorter turn around next weekend.

Last year's marathon final game was Saturday afternoon before the men's quarter-final game.
Quote from: dag14Ah, these women are students? Playing Sat/Sun means they can miss fewer classes? Nah, there must be some other reason for the schedule
Then why do they normally play Friday night/Saturday afternoon? The ideal combination for minimizing missed classes would be Saturday night/Sunday afternoon (which I believe is the HE schedule). And if that were the case, it still doesn't explain why MICE and WICE have different schedules -- the women never play Saturday night games, the men only play at night.

The ECAC women used to play Saturday/Sunday before there was a Hockey East women's conference. For Cornell, that led to the occasional late Sunday night arrival home from places such as Maine and Colby.
Hockey East's women's tournament is here in Hyannis.

Taylor Woods with the hat trick -- scored game winner on a re-direction of a beautiful Jenner feed with about 1:35 left.
With Cornell leading 2-0 midway through the 2nd, St. Lawrence scored a soft goal, and dominated the rest of the period, tying it late on the 2-on-0 break. 3rd period was fairly even, with neither team having really grade A chances until the game winner.
Should be a good final tomorrow against the Harvard-Clarkson winer
Quote from: scoop85With Cornell leading 2-0 midway through the 2nd, St. Lawrence scored a soft goal, and dominated the rest of the period, tying it late on the 2-on-0 break.
From Section B it looked like a great wrister to the top corner of the near post.
WICE was in control in the first, they got their forecheck going and kept the puck pretty well. As you said, SLU came back stronger in the second, and right before they tied I was thinking that if we could just get to the intermission with a one-goal lead, we'd be alright. 3rd was pretty even, but they keep coming through in the clutch.

I thought the first goal was soft given the sharp angle, but I couldn't really tell how it got into the net. Perhaps the SLU player deserves more credit than I thought.

If the angle is impossible then how can one fault the goalie? It was one of those throw it at the net moves that sometimes pays off. Wish I could lift the puck like that from any angle.
Cornell will meet Harvard (Sucks) Sunday at 1 pm for the ECAC championship.
Harvard defeated Clarkson 4-2.

Huh. I don't have an account, but can view the video just fine. Yes, I'd also prefer videos on more open sites since I'm sure it's a flip of a privacy switch away from the wall of the garden being raised, but in this case, I can watch it just by clicking on the link. Great quality, too.

The video was posted by a page, not a person, so it's public. Generally speaking, the only way the page can make it private is to delete it. If you people want this up on Youtube or something you'll have to talk to the admin, maybe post to the page or comment on the video or something. It's an actual Facebook video, not a pass-through link, otherwise I would've posted that instead.

There appears to be some issue with logged-out viewing on mobile. I can play the video just fine when I'm logged in, but when I'm logged out attempting to play the video redirects me to the login page. Worse, logging in from that point takes me to a blank page, and I have to go back and reload the original video link to get things running. I'm using Safari on an iPhone, but I assume it's behaving similarly on other browser/device combos.
Kyle, were you hitting the login page on play? If you log in and then use the back button to return to the video it should work.

I didn't even click on the link. I was just being snarky about Jason's not having a Facebook account. (Yeah, I'd personally rather all these things were on Youtube myself for the same general reason I'd like to see Cornell pursue Youtube as a video distributor, but even if I had no desire to use Facebook as a social network I'd still have an account with all false information just to get access to stuff like this.)

Box score (http://cornellbigred.com/boxscore.aspx?id=13759&path=whockey) There were All-Name Team players in goal at both ends: Emerance Maschmeyer for the Harvard Crimson, Lauren Slebodnick for Cornell. Despite the popularity of the web, both names are still available as .com URLs.
Slebodnick and Maschmeyer would be a good law firm.

That was a heck of a ride the last month of the season. This senior class accomplished a lot and will be missed a lot. Don't know if it's too early to look ahead, but next season's roster could look very different depending on how far certain players make it in the Olympic tryouts.
Most gutting game I've seen at Lynah. Not quite the worst possible last game as a student, but very close. They could have won 4-1, Saulnier was flying in the first, and Rougeau nearly made lightning strike twice at the end. I think Slebodnick was the saddest athlete I've ever seen after letting in the last goal. Next year is going to be tough, losing the top D-pair to graduation and probably Gagliardi, Jenner, Saulnier, and Poudrier to the Olympics. Fulton, Leck, Woods, and Brown will have to step up on the offensive side. Really, really disappointing that none of the great teams of the last four years could win a national title. Proud to have watched some of the best Cornell WICErs, though. (Sorry for the rambling, I guess I need a few days to digest the game and the season.)

Why in the the tag line for the Hockey Forum do we still put "and women's" in parentheses? Women's hockey should no longer appear to be an afterthought. How about just Discussions about Cornell hockey?
Quote from: George64Why in the the tag line for the Hockey Forum do we still put "and women's" in parentheses?
Obviously because most of us are still primarily (or solely) interested in men's hockey.
Compromise: put "men's and women's" in parens. I.e. Discussions about Cornell (Men's and Women's) Hockey.
That way the women aren't as much of an afterthought and for newbies (or troglodytes ::whistle::) it still makes it clear that the discussion includes both teams, not just the men.
LOL. Why change a culture when you can just change a label? ::wank::
Quote from: TrotskyQuote from: George64Why in the the tag line for the Hockey Forum do we still put "and women's" in parentheses?

And without the label women's hockey posts would liely end up in "Other Sports" as a result.
The use of the word "still" (not to mention "troglodyte") rankles though. There are demonstrable differences between the men's and women's game and it's perfectly reasonable for fans to prefer one to the other. It's not a question of prejudice.
Actually it's because there were briefly separate fora and it's just a reminder that both are here now. But if your panties are a-bunching I'll change it.

The use of the word "still" (not to mention "troglodyte") rankles though. There are demonstrable differences between the men's and women's game and it's perfectly reasonable for fans to prefer one to the other. It's not a question of prejudice.
I wasn't saying it was a question of prejudice for
everyone who's not interested in women's hockey. Someone who isn't interested in women's hockey may simply not be interested in women's hockey. No more no less. It's just like someone who isn't really interested in basketball.
But there may still be some people who would think that women's hockey isn't deserving of the respect of those who do enjoy it. Those people are the troglodytes.

Very nice.
Quote from: TrotskyLOL. Why change a culture when you can just change a label? ::wank::
Why wank away? Changing the label is a positive step in changing the culture. And I have no real non-alumni-pride interest in women's hockey.

Wow, a 6 foot tall goalie! I wonder if she leans on her stick like Dryden :-D

Based on her bio she could probably be third string on the men's team.

Based on Schafer's track record, *I* could be third string goalie on the men's team.
And I can barely skate.
