The problem is I have not been starting the game threads, obviously.
Oh hey, Mosko's on the ice for warmups
How would it work for these Princeton jerseys? The name on the back isn't as important as the number on the front?

I guess?? Kooky.
ESPN being fashionably late.
Jason gamely pumping along on the Sebbie Gorka Arrow Cross Childrens' Hour, including an interview with a certain Ben Syer.
Little bit of a slower start to a season that I had high expectations for. Though, it's still early, just have to get over the "scoring more than one goal per game" issue.
Those Princeton jerseys are terrible. I'm baffled why they feel the need to modify them every year, seemingly
Huh. Are those real throwbacks or some dipshit City Connect derp?
I... don't really mind them. I would remove the number from the front and put a small Princeton crest over the heart, but leaving it solid orange with no characters I can support.
"We're orange. Who the fuck else would we be?" (RIT and CC can sue.)
Sure beats the Dartmouth prison stripes.
Whew. Kovich on the spot.
O'Leary and Kraft on the same line
What's the wind chill factor?
First lead in 3 weeks. LGR!

Just get DeSantis out there and it can be the "swarm of gnats" line.
As with the Mets, less action in the game thread when we're winning.
Rego on pace for 15 shots.
OK. Control the rest of this game. I want to see some Cornell Defense (R).
We have dominated since Vanini said "point in case."
A List of Things That Pissed Me Off About This Period, a la BearLover:
- The student section was chanting "safety school". At Princeton.
- We only scored 3 goals all period long. I'd expect at least 7 from a serious contender.
- I saw the iPad kids Trotsky was talking about yesterday. You're at a fucking hockey game. Turn off the cocomelon.
- The popcorn's flavoring distribution was TERRIBLE. Half the kernels had so much powder I was choking.
- Heading off from warmups, most of the players gave high-fives to one side of kids sticking their hands out, but not the other. How ungrateful!
- Not every single seat at Lynah was filled. Back in my day we had people standing on each others' shoulders, there were so many people in attendance.
- Special teams special teams, special teams, special teams special teams special teams.
In conclusion, fire Schafer.
;)
Okay but for real though. Stellar period. Guess the boys do listen when I yell at them that good things happen when you shoot. Loved that we were willing to get in front of the net and cause chaos. Looks like we forgot about yesterday and put out a completely new team on the ice. Two more periods of that, please and thank you.
I just saw part of a BASE jump documentary where a guy dies.
No thanks.
Walsh, after turning the puck over 3x on the PP, gets a penalty as soon as it expires. Come on, man.

I think the safety school is better against the Yales and Princetons of the world than, say, Colgate. In that case, it's just sort of arrogant.
Gate up on Q, 2-1.
No goal but nice pp.

You do understand the entirety of that post was facetious right lol
Idk, I think it's better against a Colgate because the point is to underscore that they're a safety school, whereas for Princeton we're their safety school. I get what you mean though. I'm not seriously pressed about it, not like the iPad kids at least.
Ooh, Schafer on the bench yelling for the PP to "make a fucking play".
OK guys let's cash in this time.
Not bad but I wish they would move as they pass. Be dynamic. Please.

Really like Psenicka as the screener. Got some very good looks.
The second period, aka Penalty Kill Simulator, went as well as you could ask. Now let's stop playing Penalty Kill Simulator, please.

I don't know I'm going by Grady and Tim.
Walsh 10-3 on Faceoffs, Castagna 7-3. Cornell is 24-17 overall.

Walsh did take the first penalty of the pair early in the period.

The arrogance is the point. It's a cheer at a hockey game, not a society ball. Should be liberally applied against all non-Ivies. Particularly Clarkson and RPI, the safety schools of many a Cornell engineer.
To my mind, saying it when playing HY or P has always been kind of stupid.

It is irony, but irony could use a 200-year rest. It was a fine thing before everybody decided they were Mencken.

Shane got TWO penalties? God damn we have a criminal in net...
No. Walsh got a penalty. Ian got a penalty.

It was great when used against HYP when they, say, committed a too many men on the ice penalty. Now it's done so often and so robotically that, as you indicate, the irony has been lost.

HEY A POWERPLAY GOAL
Fegaras and Ondrej both on the board in their first weekend back. I guess they mattered.

Yeah that's what I thought. Must've misunderstood. Damn, I should go to a safety school.

well fwiw i think it was rego with the turnovers but his play has generally been solid enough that i can't be mad at him. and now i can't be mad at walsh either.

That genius PK guru Syer allowed 2 PPG to the worst PP in the country. Coaching, man.

Cornell coaches finally listened to BearLover and changed the first PP unit!
Nothing like the energy and vibe in Lynah when the team is rolling!! Quite a difference from yesterday
Beautiful game today, I'm confident we'll get our revenge on Q at MSG.
Bearlover the clown back at it again
The only puny dingus is you, my friend.
Let's go red. What a night
We were hoping that Syer would come back to town and fix the PK. It was just a bonus that he also fixed the power play! There have been times in the past where it seems that the Cornell power play has tried passing the puck into the net. The Walsh goal was basically that with the perfect back door feed by Robertson. I couldn't tell if it needed to be redirected in or not? Cornell was able to get the puck through all of the bodies tonight. I don't tend to think the refs usually send one guy off in post whistle scrums but tonight they did it twice with Princeton taking some undisciplined penalties that Cornell cashed in on. The player of the game was definitely Shane. He made those two huge first period saves that kept them off the board and allowed Cornell to pull away. He deserved the shutout just for the way he challenged the shooters on both of those plays. Fegeras gets the second star in my book. I didn't notice it yesterday but he's still got a splint on his right thumb. There were many times where he was one handing his stuck on his defensive responsibilities. Grateful to him that he's playing through the injury. If they hadn't been scuffling so much would he be back this soon? It was nice to have a game that was never in doubt. Now that the power play has something to show for let's start buttoning up those challenges.

I had originally heard that Fegeras wasn't coming back till MSG, but was happy to see him back yesterday
The boys need to carry the momentum of yesterday into MSG and take on Quinnipiac handily
