Yale had their butts handed to them by Denver in both games at New Haven last weekend. I'm not sure if that's a testament to how dominant Denver continues to be or an indictment against Yale for this (and the past several) season
I would like to see keopple get one of the starts this weekend. Don't want to see Shane overworked and somebody is gonna have to play goalie next year after all.
Cornell dealing with a ton of injuries. This won't be easy.
In other news, what will the fan turnout be like tonight? Guessing around 60% like the last 3 years?

I'm confused. Didn't I complain about attendance one single time last year and then you started attacking me? And now you complain about attendance every weekend?
No Psenicka for warmups, but that was expected I think. Not sure who drew in for him.
Roster is stretched. The coaches learn things and the cusp guys get experience.

I came into Jason late but I believe he said they are hoping for his return for Princeton-Quinnipiac on 11/22-23.
Quote from: stereaxNot sure who drew in for him.
Donaldson.
Video is terrible right now.
Lol, amazing camerawork to not catch that Bancroft goal. Also, the feed is really wonky for me
Pretty sure all five players touched the puck in those 8 seconds

8 seconds! Have we ever scored earlier?

Good to know, thanks for the update. Thought it could be Donaldson, but wasn't sure. That's the guy who just BEANED Yale #6 right?
They seem to have resolved the issue
Video fixed.
Did anyone see the hit?
nm, replayed.
Not deliberate but ufda. Hope the guy's ok.
Castagna down the tunnel again...
Yale with a nice PP goal. Suda fell asleep a bit on the backside
Quote from: stereaxCastagna down the tunnel again...
He's back!!
Major does look like he has some skills.
We have been going down the middle rather than up the wall much more so far this year.
Feels like we absolutely dominated that period but were way too cute in the o-zone. Yale feels like it barely had the puck and the goal they did score was mildly flukey on the PP...
Weak box-out by Suda on the Yale goal scorer.
We get our first Tim "No question about it" drink of the night.
Yale's defensive chasing is working but I'm not sure how long they'll be able to sustain that without getting caught. Regardless, I didn't think the offense did a particularly good job of taking shot opportunities when other options weren't available or very low probability.
Quote from: TrotskyWe get our first Tim "No question about it" drink of the night.
I love this, but it came much earlier. I rewound to the beginning to see the goal (camerawork) and caught two of them in 30 seconds.
Is there ever a question about it?
Yale has far more jump so far in the 2nd. We need to wake up.
The entire sequence leading to Yale's 2nd goal was caused by a horrendous clearing pass from one of our D. Yale then had sustained O-zone time resulting in Catalano's penalty. Just poor stuff.
These announcers called the potential offsides a "50/50 call" and then said they didn't understand why Cornell challenged (lol)
Long, long way to go.
The current Yale challenge is worth two goals.
Do we get a pp if they are wrong (which they are)?
Quote from: TrotskyDo we get a pp if they are wrong (which they are)?
No, they lose their time out
Quote from: BearLoverThe current Yale challenge is worth two goals.
Someday that will happen in an NC$$ final overtime.
Quote from: scoop85Quote from: TrotskyDo we get a pp if they are wrong (which they are)?

I thought they did when they challenged for the major.
I guess a goal review is an official timeout.
remind me never to have taco bell before a game again, spent most of this period slumped against the wall with a stomachache and it's looking to be the same for next period
It's been a long time since we've played as uninspired a period as that one, so we're fortunate to be tied.
Cornell looks truly awful. Also, the crowd is dead (or sounds that way on the stream).
C section is half empty, some others are pretty un-full too. To be fair, should we be chanting for this effort?
This is a more physical Yale team than I can remember in a while but still too many poor passing decisions
Quote from: IcebergThis is a more physical Yale team than I can remember in a while but still too many poor passing decisions
tbh we've been pretty lucky there have been a couple chances where yale basically whiffed on an open net
Huey Hooker is a name.
That line did a good job of making something from nothing.
The ice has been totally tilted in Cornell's favor this period. You know what happens next (Yale goal).

We're in a fucking shootout? Kill me now.
bleh
Quote from: stereaxWe're in a fucking shootout? Kill me now.
Okay do we always suck at the SO? Just so I can be prepared. Hey. Point, I guess. But jesus, we looked like the DOMINANT team out there.
Cornell did not look remotely skilled tonight. They were bigger and stronger in the third but they still couldn't ever juke or pass around Yale pressuring the point. Don't let the shot disparity fool you: Cornell created almost zero high-danger chances. Everything was a shot from the outside + jamming at the goalie's pads. Also several times in the game Cornell had a good rush up the ice and was well set up to hit the trailer but the trailer was on the bench in the middle of a line change. What a ridiculously frustrating game to watch. Last weekend Denver annihilated Yale twice in New Haven with a combined score of 11-1 and then Yale came into Lynah and tied Cornell 2-2. Cornell is not even close to Denver's (or any actual top team's) level right now.
With that said, just like last year's game at Lynah, Yale played for a tie the entire third period. Pretty embarrassing to go into the third and not even try to win but I guess it's a good strategy when you're the much worse team on the road.
No one watches anymore, get used to it.
Either something changes or the program might even fold if this attendance is like this. At least in prior years the ivy league games would sell out. Now it's half full for a game students would all historically come out for.
Furthermore, Horrible tie as well. No idea what that garbage effort was

First you say people complaining about no one watching anymore should get used to it
Then you complain about people not watching anymore
Well that's your classic let down game. Props to Yale, they played well and knew when to hunker down for a tie which I honestly respect. Seems like Schafer is just starting whichever forward line has the most goals in the previous game, a little motivation for them maybe. Anyway, beta brown tomorrow and we're still in a really good spot, just hurts to get only one point in our first ECAC game.
Cornell needs to get healthy. Seems they have too many players in the lineup who aren't threats to score. We miss Fegaras too, seems there's nobody on the blue line besides Robertson who can create anything (not like Robertson was creating anything tonight). Wolfenberg seems to have some offensive talent, wonder if Fegaras could play over Suda when he comes back (highly doubt it though).

Nod nod. Not overly concerned about this one, don't see why so many people were saying it was terrible. We looked like the better team for most of it (well, at least the first and most of the second, can't speak about the third as I couldn't watch it), just didn't shoot, and they got their goals from PPs and played to tie. Whatever. On to the next.
I don't know how good Duluth is this year but NoDak went into their building and scored 7 tonight.
Also thought Shane wasn't good tonight. Giving up a lot of juicy rebounds and just shaky overall. Give me keopple tomorrow.

I think you're right-it was such a flurry of activity
Quote from: BearLoverCornell needs to get healthy. Seems they have too many players in the lineup who aren't threats to score.
Donaldson had the best scoring chance that didn't result in a goal. If he's able to cash in on the open net Cornell wins that game in regulation. Couldn't tell from my seat if the puck was on edge or if he just missed it. He was also one of a few guys who looked to take the body even though his best hit ended in a penalty.
They had no flow in that game. I do believe that most ECAC defenses are tailored to slow games down as opposed to the run and gun of NCHC opponents. Other than on the Bancroft goal there were just a couple of other odd man rushes. There were tons of bodies in front of the net. Plenty of chaos. Not a lot of clean looks but when they did get one Stark flashed a very solid glove.
Shootouts are bad enough but please get rid of the ice scrape! There's no reason to bring the game to a screeching halt like that.

Huh? Shane was fine. The two goals were due to defenders doing a poor job covering the front of the net. Yale's whole offense was basically sending the puck across the crease and hoping someone would tap it in
Quote from: ugarteI don't know how good Duluth is this year but NoDak went into their building and scored 7 tonight.
That plus the common-opponents-with-Yale factor appears to have driven us up to #4 in the PWR after last night despite tying an 0-2 team. Gotta love the early math.
And the carping begins!
We were sloppy at times around the net. There was very little flow to the game the way Yale packed it in,
We had at least 5 chances out front, a couple replays on close ones and a couple that beat the goalie and hit posts or just went wide.
Yale only had the few times it just threw pucks at the net and scored on the 2 PPs because of it.

I attribute the 2 Yale goals a result of penalties-stay out of the box
I missed the game because I was at a fancy work dinner, came home, put it on, and immediately fell asleep and picked it back up this morning in the third, so I missed the second period where we apparently didn't look great.
It's fine. We're fine. We're not going to run the table on the entire season. A home tie against a team we think we should beat, while we're banged up, isn't the end of the world. And for all we know, Yale might even be good this year. Getting swept by DU isn't proof of much.
Also, I remain the weirdo who hates 3v3 OT. It's a different sport. I'd watch a 3v3 hockey league, but I hate it for sudden death. More than the shootout.

It's one thing to have the greatest players in the world play three on three but in a development league like the NCAA I would rather have extra guys get a couple of additional shifts in OT than have your top players practicing bad habits.
Did you see toward the end of OT that Cornell had two defenseman on the ice? Kempf and Roberson were out there for an offensive zone faceoff and remained out for quite a while. Don't see that two D set up very often.

Yeah but that doesn't mean it can't be the goalie's fault too. Shane faced only 10 shots, let in two goals, gave up at least a couple scary rebounds, and let a couple pucks pass right through the crease. Just thought he could have been better.

I agree. 3x3 OT is very exciting in the NHL and pretty boring in college (unless there's NHL talent involved like on BC).

I really, really hate 3x3. If we must, 4x4 would be fine. We could even count the result as a full overtime win, for my money.

To me, it's stealing part of the game from us fans. The shootout is an add-on curiosity, whatever. With this OT, they took away a real overtime and replaced it with a side game of shinny. Bah.

I'm kind of glad they had this game early in the season to send a message that it won't come easy. Big weekend vs a big opponent, then open the scoring 8 seconds into the league slate? I feel there may have been overconfidence brewing. There's a lot of hard work to come, even against the lower rungs of this league.
This isn't a team who wins just by showing up, and is not an intimidating force like in the early 00s. They win by persistence and depth.
In the Sun article Schafer had some quotes that showed he was really pissed. One was him saying that our leadership has been bad.

That backdoor pass across the crease for a yale tap-in was not shanes fault. 100pct on the dmen.
