#1 Quinnipiac (18-1-3, 12-0-0) at #16 Cornell (10-6-1, 7-3-0)
Prior meeting (http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/2023/box20221105.pdf)
Kind of a tough stretch if you include BU last weekend considering that Princeton is a bit resurgent, Harvard is Harvard, and games against Dartmouth are always close. Most of February is against the lowest teams in the league, though
much easier to compete when you are scoring goals at a decent clip.. lets see that continue.

Mike appearing on the WHCU pregame with Jason two weeks ago.
7 players on the Q roster (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/reports/roster/Quinnipiac/47) are listed, ahem, "graduate students."
Just imagine how sophisticated that locker room must be.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Browning was getting a master's in biomedical engineering when she played as a grad student last season.
Jason on the First Round going to 1 game: "The best way to avoid having a bad night is not to have that night at all."
Words to live by, in so many contexts.
Really fun period so far.
13:44 Cor Berard (Dirven, Seger)
Cornell 1-0
After 1: Yale 1 Harvard 0
After 1: Cornell 1 Quinnipiac 0
EXCELLENT period.
We had more goals in the first period than we had shots in the first period in Hamden.
ah good a first period one-goal lead against a top team. i am at ease.
Three outstanding kills. Now stay outta the box!

And Malinski.
Was that really a DELIBERATE knee? If so give that fucker a 5.
Poor decision by Bancroft, but Shane bailed him out.
I love that behind the net POV.
Another great period. Cannot let our attention waver. Must stay ON IT. These guys are lethal.
two goal lead a little better. not bad. let's finish it.
OK. One shift at a time.
FINALLY someone's in front for one of the billion rebounds we've had in the last 2 games. 3-0 when O'Leary pops it in.
That's how you do a counter-attack.
3 04:34 Cor O'Leary (Malone, Suda)
way to go JOL - fan favorite in the student section - we love to chant his name haha
The backup goaltender already making an impact...in the wrong way
I want Suda to score a goal so bad. He's been MIP this year IMO. Didn't expect him to get nearly this much ice time.
Oh shit bad bounce and Psenikca makes it 4-0 on the backup goalie who had gone behind the net only to have the puck take a weird bounce off of the endboards.
The cliché of 2-goals being the "most dangerous lead" doesn't apply to us, because I think it's 3 for Cornell. That's when we get sloppy. That game at Brown.
Oh fuck yes.
Cor Psenicka (Malinski)

Well. That was wonderful.

I agree. My god, that was another truly satisfying win.
Quote from: TrotskyWell. That was wonderful.
Indeed. Incredibly, we could have won by much more.
Speaking of 2020 tonight serves as a bit of payback, as that season QU whipped our great team 5-0 in Hamden in our only real stinker that season.
Quote from: TrotskyUp to 11 in PWR.
Oof feels pretty underwhelming considering where we were before BU loss
But it's Def a step in the right direction and the game was absolutely magnificent
Also Q still 2
From TBRW's Top 10 section, tonight's four goals is the largest margin of victory the Big Red has had over a #1-ranked team (dating back to 1983).
Very effective game. Cornell was tenacious the whole night and while Q had a few good opportunities, they were mostly outmuscled and nullified.

We have now knocked off Q as a #1 four times in the last 10 seasons (not including the year we sat out).

Shane was really solid tonight. He displayed great positioning and played with the same confidence he showed against UCONN. And killing those 3 first period penalties so decisively was a huge boost.

he was shaken up for a bit on the bench but took his ref shift pretty soon after that

Games over .500, in conference.
That was a convincing win. Not because the game was lopsided, but because after tonight it's impossible to deny this team is capable of making the NCAAs. Cornell has played some strong opposition this season (Q, Harvard, BU, UConn), and in each of these games play was at worst even (and at times tilted towards Cornell). Against weaker opponents Cornell has consistently looked like the better team.
If Q's first deflection that beat Shane trickles into the net instead of across the crease, it's 1-0 Q and a different hockey game. But it was a great team effort for Cornell from top to bottom.
Obviously, there's still a long way to go, and losing tomorrow against Princeton undoes everything that happened tonight. Cornell looked so amped up the whole night that tomorrow's game really screams out potential letdown.

I always thought "trap games" typically come before an anticipated opponent, but I guess that one could conceivably happen after one. Everyone in the league knows Princeton is getting something going by now. It doesn't stand to be a cake walk.

It also feels really great to spoil a perfect league record. Like that.
For everyone that was complaining about what they felt was an uncreative offense, what about the Bancroft attempt at the Michigan style wraparound lacrosse shot?
To actually see the situation makes that shot choice possible in real time is impressive enough; but to actually attempt it takes a set of balls.
His body language looked like he was pissed he didn't convert the chance. That's one cocky kid
Something only Brown could do:
They are on the penalty kill from the opening whistle. 2 minute bench minor for a "protocol violation"
The announcers aren't sure exactly what brown did, but protocol violations are for things like coming out of the locker room late or not clearing your guys off the ice in a timely manner.
First time I've.ever.seen this penalty in 50 years of watching college hockey.

According to the Brown website, the penalty was for staying on the ice too long during warmups. It also says that they were
one of three ECAC teams assessed that penalty last night.
Sounds like the league has a new bogeyman.

I don't know if I'd call it a trap game. Cornell knows Princeton has been good lately and the coaching staff is definitely harping on it. I do think though that Cornell expended a lot of energy and emotion last night and may not have as much left in the tank for tonight. It reminds me of Harvard losing to Colgate the after beating us in OT the night before.
Shane was nominated for the Hobey Baker the day before yesterday. When I tried to vote for him, I saw that last year's winner was Minnesota State goalie Dryden McKay. Nothing like putting pressure on your kid from the opening bell - but I guess it paid off.

Dryden McKay was literally named after Ken Dryden
QuoteWhile Dryden is indeed named after Ken Dryden, it wasn't Ross' idea. Dryden was originally going to be named Dylan, but Ross and his wife Chris decided that had to be scrapped about two months before he was born.
"Dylan McKay was a character on (Beverly Hills) 90210, so we couldn't do that," Ross said with a laugh. "We were sitting in our office, talking about names we should do ... and she looked up on the shelf, and there was a copy of the 'The Game' written by Ken Dryden. It was a signed copy that somebody had given me as a gift.
"She said 'what do you think about the name Dryden,' and I said 'well yeah, I think that's an awesome name.'"
Turns out naming their son after a legendary goaltender was a better choice than Luke Perry's famous character.
"It worked out well that my mom brought up the idea," Dryden said with a laugh.
Ross, who played in one NHL game with the Hartford Whalers, a relief appearance in the 1990–91 season, didn't have to push Dryden to hockey. While Ross became a chiropractor in the Chicago area after he finished playing, he was still very involved as a coach in Dryden's younger years.

About 500 short of a full house, 3794 announced vs. 4267 capacity. It looked right barren as the game began (photo). But the energy was there, nervous energy until we got up 3-0.

Are you going to be there again tonight, Bill, in those seats? If so, come say hello if you feel like it. We're just on the other side of the red line in M, and approximately the same row you appeared to be in. (We're in Row 11.) I'll be the big guy in the game-worn away Scrivens jersey.

Nice shot, bill. And not for nothing, Section B looks impressively packed, considering this was still a "break game." I guess I wasn't paying too close attention to the stands while watching, but I thought the rink looked full (noting that Section E is typically a blind spot for the cameras).
Now that our seats have moved from C t M it is wonderful to see the unbroken student sections from A all the way around.
They just need to rip the seats out of C and put the benches back in.
Quote from: TrotskyThey just need to rip the seats out of C and put the benches back in.
The red seats are gone. (I think they were just attached on top of the benches.)
These are the first quotes I've seen from Pecknold following last weekend's Q losses. In the New Haven Register, he said:
"First of all, Cornell and Colgate both played very well," Pecknold said, and he said the feel in the rinks was a "Super Bowl" atmosphere.
"I just felt we weren't prepared for that kind of playoff atmosphere. That's on me; I thought we were, but we weren't," Pecknold said. "It's not what we wanted, but it's a teachable moment."
Lynah was solid but far from electric given the attendance is down from the good ol days.
If you win it, they will come.
