From Athletics:
The Cornell women's ice hockey team faces Princeton at 3:30pm this afternoon in the first round of the ECAC Hockey playoffs. In the event the game proceeds into overtime, it may impact the 7pm start time for the Cornell vs. Dartmouth men's hockey game.
Dartmouth has been a notoriously tough opponent for Schafer's squad, but a Cornell win tonight would drop the Green into a tie for toughest RS opponent (http://www.tbrw.info/?/weekly_Updates/schafer_Opps_ECAC.html).
Cornell is 8-2-3 in the last 7 seasons of RS games against Dartmouth (http://www.tbrw.info/index.html?/weekly_Updates/cornell_H2H_by_Team.html); prior to that Schafer's record against them was 10-13-1 .438, so we're actually on an upswing.
Hopefully, the unfinished business with Eric Neiley will be swift and not result in any majors...

Quote"Dartmouth's Eric Neiley took a shot at Cornell's Bardreau. Neiley was ultimately suspended for it, but Cornell is looking for its own form of punishment.
"It will be a physical hockey game, I guarantee it," Schafer said. "Our guys weren't happy with what he did to Cole at the end of the game. It's not NHL hockey where you can go out and go after the kid, but we'll hit him, and every kid on their team, every chance we can get. And we've got to come ready to battle. And we've been more physical our last four games, really stepping it up.
"This isn't NHL hockey where guys square off — you have to use that motivation to play strong and physical against every one one of their guys."
Winning is the best revenge. Ignore the little prick and put some rubber in the Dartmouth net.

But no waterboarding. This could be good, assuming our guys don't beyond the letter of Schafer's law. Does TBRW have a section for Seniors Who Weren't Able to Play Senior Night on Account of a DQ?

Nope. Nor a section on telegraphing your focus on a particular player thus making him virtually off-limits at the risk of a penalty.

Agreed, however...something tells me this will not be the case.

No, winning is the second-best revenge. Creaming the little prick AND winning is the best revenge.
Ouch! After the 1-0 loss we're still in sole possession of fourth in the ECAC with 24 points, cannot reach third because Quinnipac (won Friday) and Colgate (lost Friday) are at 27, but Clarkson is at 23 (won Friday) and Yale is at 22 (lost Friday). So we control our destiny (first round bye) with a win over Harvard.
Sounds as if the Harvard goalie also stole the Colgate game.

Lets all hope Colgate tuckered out the Harvard goalie. I am not sure if McDonald will be playing though judging by how he limped off late in the third period. I don't recall him playing another shift after limping back to the bench.
So I'm away from the internet for an evening and nothing on the board for a recap? I go to a box score to see that CU outshot them 30-14 in the 2nd & 3rd. Was that an accurate indication of the game? I'll just assume that we had "plenty of opportunities, but nobody could finish. stood on his head and the refs screwed us."
Anything?

The refs didn't screw us. Our finishers' shots weren't bad at all.
stood on his head.
I think we would win this game 9 times out of 10, but this was #10. Dartmouth matches up with us very well but frankly I thought we destroyed them in all three zones. Shit like this happens. If we beat Hahvahd it's all just a footnote.

Can I just say how much hate I hold in my heart for Bob Gaudet?
the goalie made saves, but i think it was me we have a team that doesnt shoot very well. easily 6-7 shots from inside 10 ft we hit the goalie. in one flurry we had 75% of the net to shoot at and the goalie was on his face and we still hit him 2-3 times. we dont have any finishers and we missed our semi breakaway again.

Grant was very good, but we made it too easy on him with some point-blank shots directly into his chest. As but one example Buckles came in all alone on a nice feed and the shot went directly at Grant, who hardly had to move.
It was one of the more frustrating games I've seen in a long time, in that we did just about everything right but score. That, however, is our achilles heal as we all know.
I thought CU played well, especially in the second and third periods. CU was certainly the team that performed better in all facets of the game except scoring. Yes, it is the most important aspect, but I thought on most nights they get the two goals they need to win with the opportunities they created. the Dartmouth goalie played well and CU just couldn't finish. It is a shame to loose a game like that but it happens.
If CU plays like they did in the second and third periods then they will beat most opponents.

How many goals did they score in those 2 periods?

Sorry, I guess I just don't understand. I thought that putting the puck in the net played an important part in the game. My bad.

Are you trying to be obtuse?
I clearly commented earlier in my original post about the lack of scoring. You chose to quote the last sentence of my post and tried to take it out of context as what I assume is a poor commentary on the team's lack of scoring last night. Hence, my cherry picking comment.
Don't feed the trolls. Some people don't understand distributions.
"If we play that way all the time we'll do well" means "statistically if we play that way we'll score more than our opponents."
Meh
