Wow, is this pace fast.
Section A almost completely empty. Will BigDingus try to claim it was full?
We scored, but I didn't actually see the goal....

This probably correlates strongly with how much we hate Q but... Pecknold coaches them to play with confidence and purpose. Their positioning in the defensive zone is clean, they are aggressive on the forecheck and they don't idly knock the puck back and forth when they have possession. We're holding our own but something about what I'm watching got my typing fingers going.
Thank god Fegaras let that one go (and good on Psenicka for calling for it and getting the tip). I was getting mad as hell about two more minutes of the umbrella bullshit on the PP.
The umbrella PP needs to go. Occasionally it works such as on the 2nd goal, but no movement below the faceoff dots makes it too easy for PKers
Shoutout to Hank Suarez... nvm
Quote from: IcebergThe umbrella PP needs to go. Occasionally it works such as on the 2nd goal, but no movement below the faceoff dots makes it too easy for PKers
I don't think it "worked" on the 2nd goal. The second goal was a shot from the point that was deflected and didn't have anything to do with the fact the D passed it around at the point repeatedly. The Cornell PP sucks. If the D isn't giving you anything down low and is blocking the passing lanes, shoot it on net for a deflection or rebound. That's how the 2nd goal was scored. Not from endless passing at the blue line.

I think he's saying the same thing. Ondrej made the play by stepping in front of the defender bodying him and calling for the puck. Possible that he gets benched by Schafer for moving his skates on the interior.
We have been playing well since our last kill.
Seger has recovered tonight in FO, 18-8.
We need to deaden the opponent's bench for stick banging, it's irritating.

Quote from: arugulaQ drops from 5 to 8. We go from 16 to ....... 16. Discuss.
Yeah, our spot in the Pairwise is brutal. As I mentioned yesterday in another thread, there was a big gap between Cornell and the top 15 heading into the weekend, and the top 15 is almost all national powers who have managed to keep winning over the past few weeks. The gap is now smaller, but it's still enough that Cornell is in a very precarious position.
Cornell is playing pretty well, let's hope they can keep it going and stack up wins. I remain worried about Harvard next week.
Awful second, great third. Overall I thought Cornell played alright against one of the best teams in the country. Our PP continues to be the weak link. It improved a bit as the game went on, but still way too little of getting pucks to the net.
Now I think we need to pretty much win out to lock up a spot. Against the remaining schedule it's possible but hard to expect us to not slip up once or twice.

An RPI of .54 is usually the cutoff to get in. We're just over .55. I'm not sure if it's usual for the top 16 to be higher earlier in the year. But I'm choosing to believe that this is a good sign. 10-4-3 with some big wins is very good.
Beautiful rip from Bancroft, what a win.

I guess we need to hope the teams in the top 15 play each other and knock each other out. Aside from Quinnipiac, they're literally all Hockey East, NCHC, or Big 10 teams.
St. Thomas is leading the CCHA? Huh.
I hope to hear the dull thud of that Bancroft goal over and over in my dreams tonight The guys were so pumped to win that one. It was great to see the synchronized bouncing in the celebration and also the way they raced up the tunnel after the salute. That was such a weird game. Under ten shots on goal into the third. A short handed goal against. A penalty shot goal. So many stops and starts with very little sustained play. The Big Red finally wore them down around the midway point of the third. Penney and Devlin both had some crushing hits. There hadn't been much physicality early on so it was nice to get that part of their game going in time to turn the tide. That opened up the ice for them to find their offensive game. I'm going to believe all this upcoming week that tonight was the emotional turning point of this season.

I was wondering if Schafer emphasized the hitting during the second intermission, because it was very noticeable given how little physicality there was in the first two periods. The big hits definitely seemed to help turn the tide, especially after going into survival mode for most of the second period.

My impression was that there we had a couple SOG in the first period that somehow didn't get counted. And at least one Q shot in the third that went wide that Shane gloved anyway that was counted.

It is what it is. I think the point is that people are going to push back when you come on here and declare how full it is but the broadcast shows huge empty sections.
We'd all love to see a full student section night in and night out. But that's not the present reality.
weather probably kept few people home last night, but student effort has been poorish for several years now..
Quote from: upprdeckweather probably kept few people home last night, but student effort has been poorish for several years now..
There have been some games this year where the student crowd sounded louder on the feed than I've heard them since 2019-20 or so, for what that's worth.
Aren't students returning this weekend? If yes, I'd wait for the next home weekend to evaluate the student section.

Some of this might be shenanigans but some can be attributed to perspective / site lines . I have been at games (not Cornell) and looked across the rink at a section and said "wow that section is half empty, I am going to cheat into that section for a better view than the seat I paid for." But then when I actually get there in the thick of it, it seems there are WAY fewer seats than I saw, and it's awkward, and I panic, and go back to my original crummy seat with my tail between my legs. Maybe it's just me?

In our day we'd be sure to come back Friday when break ended to attend both of the weekend games. It was a sacrifice of course to spend the weekend at school with no schoolwork to worry about, but that was before Cornell apparently became a place where fun came to die.
I thought it was appropriate that Mack got credit for an assist on the game winner. He drove the offense on some of their finer scoring chances later in the game. How often though do you assist on a goal of a player who replaces you on a line change? Mack handed it off to Robertson as they exited the zone and went for the change. Bancroft comes on and meets Robertson as he comes around the net. Eleven seconds after Mack gave up possession of the puck the game is over. I'm sure it happens more often with this OT format as guys bring the puck back out and reset but I hadn't considered it before.

Exactly this! Some of the most memorable--or is it least memorable--parties I attended occurred on the Fridays
and Saturdays (and often Sundays) right at the end of Winter Break. The band always came back to campus in style.
Last nite's game was sold out. No tickets were available yesterday for the game. Re our frosh, they have been outstanding. They account for about 40% of our goals & assists this year. If Robertson gets drafted this year, that would make 6 of the frosh class.

nobody is blaming you and the students there because you guys are the ones who actually show up. It's just understandably disappointing to see less interest in something that we all care so much about.

Yeah it was sold out.. aboout 10 min into the first period though Section O had a huge section of empty seats.
So people came late or spread out

In the late 80s, early 90s the ECAC schedule was pretty much fixed year to year. The first conference weekend in January was typically UVM-RPI, and we'd get extremely engaged crowds of the students who came back early both for hockey and, um. They were not numerous but if anything they were louder and more exuberant than normal -- what I imagine 60s and early 70s crowds to have been like. They tended to be a different type of crowd because the Facetimers were still back in NYC and Five Towns. There was also no band, and it was Fucking Cold, so the fans needed to create their own energy, and did.
That was a fun few years, about which I am hazy on details.
Also students just show up late. That definitely needs to be worked on but it fills up much more than at the start of the 1st
Quote from: Big DingusAlso students just show up late. That definitely needs to be worked on but it fills up much more than at the start of the 1st
Been true for 20 years. The solution (GA) is not practical though by god you'd see a
real crowd then. Darwin works wonders.
As a student in the 60-70's, I didn't know enough to get season tickets. As a townie with season tickets [stood in line for a long time], starting in 1976, we arrived an hour early to watch warmups. And to get the best spots on the rail because standing room in old Lynah was way better than seats in Section N!

Given the preceding week is rush week, it's a good week to be back; even if you're not Greek, there are enough events here and there to keep one busy in between the games.
The students don't come back now because they are all in Europe skiing. Welcome to the new Ivy League

And we spent the night at Barton Hall to buy session tickets the next morning. In the years before they opened Barton, we began lining up outside Teagle at five a.m. in the bitter cold. Just a bunch of pampered, over-privileged wusses today, too busy sipping craft cocktails in Collegetown.
Classes start tomorrow so I think this is a case of a lot of students just waiting until the last minute to return to campus. For all the folks like me who tried to get back from the break earlier, there were a great many who didn't and I'm sure that's still the case.
As far as rush week goes, it has changed a lot in the past one to two decades as Greek Life has been tagged with more restrictions. Up until a certain point in the Skorton years, rush week was a full week before classes, and so the campus would be very quiet and devoid of undergrads aside from the students who were participating in Greek Life events either as hosts or guests. For anyone who wasn't involved in Greek Life, there really wasn't anything to do. Usually, there would be hockey games on a weekend around that time but they definitely wouldn't be at full strength attendance or atmosphere.
I don't think this is because of different generations, it can be traced back pretty clearly to the pandemic. Crowds in the 19-20 season were great and having a year off and then limited capacity is likely what did it.

Some philosophy. This Winter is a lesson that the NC$$s can't be the overdetermining goal. Enjoy the games one at a time, and let PWR take care of itself. This is, in microcosm, the human problem of worrying about the future and never savoring the present.
We just beat Quinnipiac! Marinate in that. Enjoy the fruits of fandom.

Not only beat them, but held them scoreless 6 on 6 and on the kill. With four freshmen d-men skating. And five freshmen forwards. Q was averaging 4+ per game, third (I think) in the country. Stop kvetching.
At some point we will have five freshmen on the ice at the same time. The last time I can remember that happening was around 1989 in Troy, and they scored on us in about 8 seconds.

I just realized the fourth line, at least in name, was all freshmen: Devlin, Catalano, Kraft. So any time they aligned with the Mosko-Fegaras pairings, we had 5 freshmen out there. I didn't notice but it must have happened, and fairly often, unless Schafer was explicitly avoiding it. Grady at least never mentioned it.

Kraft is a sophomore.
Until this past weekend, when Mosko was inserted into the lineup, I believe each defensive pairing consisted of one freshman and one upperclassman. So outside of a jumbled or delayed line change, it would have been weird for five freshmen to be on the ice at the same time.

Grady wouldn't have mentioned it. That would require paying attention. Jason perhaps. Not Grady.
On Quinnipiac's SH goal, can someone explain why Rego played the guy with the puck rather than the open man (Z. Tupker)? Just a mistake? Tupker's goal was way too easy.

I think Rego got caught trying to do too much. He tried to block the passing lane and close in on the skater with the puck, which is great if it works, but that's a big if.
The best defense is still just percentages and sometimes the baddies score.
Quote from: martyQuote from: BearLoverOn Quinnipiac's SH goal, can someone explain why Rego played the guy with the puck rather than the open man (Z. Tupker)? Just a mistake? Tupker's goal was way too easy.
Can you explain why you would ask a question of us that you should ask of Rego?::popcorn::
Because, as others in this thread have noted, defending 2-on-1s is fairly basic hockey strategy that even many of us laypeople are familiar with. As others said, the usual rule is to play the pass and let the goalie play the shot. Rego played the shooter, though, leaving Tupker wide open for an easy goal. As Dafatone noted, he didn't do much to play the shooter either. I was wondering if somebody had an explanation, or if Rego just goofed.
Maybe they were just doing a solid for an old teammate?

Grady is an excellent announcer. Your comment was bad and you should feel bad.
Unfortunately, Grady spends too many words on random tangents and not enough on the game itself. He needs to track the action better.

Exactly. Good pipes. Seems like a nice guy but too often ignores the game. I assume he would be different on radio.

I think he is capable of being a very good announcer, but at the moment, he simply doesn't pay enough attention to the game or keep up with the action. The Binghamton Rangers stuff is the worst of all, but there are many other tangents he goes on during the game which have little or nothing to do with the actual hockey being played. There needs to be a rule that he can only bring up these topics during a play stoppage and he must commentate on the action while play is underway. It's been pretty bad for several years now. I hope he can improve because he seems like a capable announcer and good guy.

He and Vannini have gotten a bit too chatty while the action is going on. He seems to stay better on task doing the women's games. The young lady from IC who's doing the color on the women's games has been quite good for a newbie.

Grady has deliberately moved
towards being more chatty. In his stint as the Cornell radio guy he was the second-best PBP man I have ever heard (Dean "Scooter" Vrooman) at any level. I assume he went to the more chatty persona to appeal to the derpier AHL audience.
Vanini is remarkable. His eyesight reminds me of Johnny Peirson on the Bruins' broadcasts. he sees stuff in realtime I have a hard time seeing on replay when I'm looking for it.
My nitpick about Vanini is that he uses the word "great" way too many times, making it lose its impact.

As someone who can't stand constant blabbermouth sports speak, I'm fine with Tim only talking about the plays he thinks are interesting. Everyone misses a whole lot in hockey which is part of the joy of the game.
When I get home from a live game I often look at particular segments to see what I've missed. And as much as I hate 5 minute referee reviews of plays that depend on camera angles and slomo, I do like to hit pause and watch in slow motion if I am curious about a play.
We are blessed to have two good announcers and two great color guys.

Agreed!!! Top on my NFL mute list is Tony Romo. Arguably, he knows a lot, but I don't care. I just want to enjoy the game. Fans at stadium survive without the endless analysis. Also, too many graphics!

Quote from: dbilmesMy nitpick about Vanini is that he uses the word "great" way too many times, making it lose its impact.
I'll allow it, for no other reason than it's something different than the near constant use in sports broadcasting of the word "unbelievable" for anything that is deemed mildly positive
Quote from: VIEWfromK... The Big Red finally wore them down around the midway point of the third. Penney and Devlin both had some crushing hits. There hadn't been much physicality early on so it was nice to get that part of their game going in time to turn the tide. That opened up the ice for them to find their offensive game.
Just read some Schafer quotes in chn roundup https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2024/01/21_Weekend-Roundup-Cornell-.php
"We started getting going and back to playing physical again, which I thought kinda deteriorated for us. And that went in ebbs and flows," Schafer said. "If you don't play physical against them and bump them — they're not big hits, but you better make sure you make contact — and I thought that turned the game a little bit
"Nine freshman lineup tonight. When you look around as a coach and see that many young guys out there against a good hockey team, it just makes you wonder sometimes, like, man, we could be in trouble here. But it was a team effort."

Jason & Grady are paragons of objectivity by comparison.
Quote from: ERThey're good but just as much homers as anyone else.
imo "homer" doesn't mean that you are more excited when the home team scores. it means that you lose objectivity around penalty calls and the relative abilities or moral worth of the teams. in that sense, i think grady and tim are not particularly vocal homers even if they obviously want cornell to do well and their calls reflect that mood.

I'd also say that they do a good job keeping some energy when the other team scores. There are a few broadcasters for other teams that all but drop to a whisper on a Cornell goal.

I don't know about that thread, but Trotsky certainly overtly rooted for Q, and so did others. Trotsky can answer for himself here. (He justified it with the theory that it would force Schafer to try to win even harder, lol.) After a quick skim I don't see anybody rooting for or against Q in that thread one way or the other. Not sure why you're point me to this thread.

Because my memory barely lasts three weeks these days, I decided to go back in this forum to see how people "rooted" for that outcome. If it were true, celebrations or at least "atta boys" would have been apparent in that thread more than any other. Like you, I didn't see any. You seem to be still fighting a long-dead fight.
The main agenda Trotsky has here is to lob chaos bombs to ruffle the easily ruffled. I'm never surprised when you're a target.
