The rink sold out for this game months ago but there are quite a few tickets on sale at Stubhub. Not sure what to expect tonight given the past two weekends
Call me crazy but I think this weekend will be the start of the turnaround
as bad as its been going we are still pretty good in betting odds to win the title. still the top pick in the ECAC

Lagging indicator?
I'm generally optimistic, but we do tend to struggle at Princeton.
Please post updates for those of us that can't be there

I'm sorry, but this is insane. I don't know much about betting odds but is it possible nobody has bet on this and so the odds haven't been updated? We are far out from even getting a bye. Quinnipiac should be the clear favorite.
DirecTV says it's on SNY tonight....and replayed tomorrow...and replayed Sunday.
Quote from: DafatoneI'm generally optimistic, but we do tend to struggle at Princeton.
Hardly. Last year was an anomaly. That was the first loss in at least over 5 years at Princeton. The games are typically close, though, whereas at Lynah it's usually a Cornell blowout

Confirmation bias, maybe. I went to one game at Princeton in the 00s and we lost. So every time it happens, I notice.

I have no idea. But we were 20-1 and now 28-1. So it has moved.
Quote from: chimpfoodCall me crazy but I think this weekend will be the start of the turnaround
I hope you're right. Did they lose a couple more guys to injury last weekend, or did I imagine reading that somewhere?

Lineup changes, according to WHCU pregame: Keopple in goal, Major out injured, O'Brien and Rayhill(!) playing up front.

Class of 1992
O'Brien and rayhill on the same forward line is brutal, let's gut one out.
Those of you not at the game in person should consider yourselves lucky. You missed the very...bizarre music selections and puck drop ritual that was a clear posterization display by a rink sponsor.
These announcers are good.
Woof.
Let's hold goalie tryouts when students get back.
Soft Princeton goal.
Nice move by Walsh
1 - 1
Beautiful!
Quote from: iceSoft Princeton goal.
It was actually a very good shot through a screen. Never a good idea to let a guy just skate up the slot like that.
And Walsh basically scores the same way after good work in the neutral zone except he didn't need a screen
Quote from: iceSoft Princeton goal.
No; screened and deflected.
Walsh really blew past those guys. Loved the no drama shot.
Exploding after the Walsh goal. 3 or 4 near misses.
Y'ello. How we lookin?
Will Liam Steele be the new Rayhill? Happy for Rayhill.
Quote from: stereaxY'ello. How we lookin?
Much better than some prior games. Princeton being beaten in the neutral zone, which is making a large difference in Cornell's ability to make plays in transition
Quote from: TrotskyQuote from: iceSoft Princeton goal.
No; screened and deflected.
He should have grabbed it.
2 - 1
Great pass by Psenicka.

Quote from: TrotskyQuote from: iceSoft Princeton goal.

While there may have been a deflection and/or a screen, the shot was from outside. I think Keopple had time to adjust and stop it.
Quote from: TrotskyGreat pass by Psenicka.
God I love that guy so much. Feels like he's always doing the right thing.

Editorial neutrality matters now that Trump took ABC for $15 million. Cruz '92 may have one of his interns monitoring the feed.
Really good shift there to finish it. Great period.
Good period for Cornell. I saw one post and one crossbar.
More of that, please!
Bill Cleary looks exactly like Rudy Giuliani now.
Period One Thoughts:
Remi would have saved that if he was 6-12 inches further out. Soft, unfortunate. But, I guess some of us got their wish to see him start. I'm not mad about it.
Cornell looking like Cornell on the ice- the fore-check, the hustle. Maybe need to see a little more body on body. LGR!

Well, I wanted him to start last Saturday against SHU when the game didn't matter. As for the goal, I think it was soft despite the slight screen/deflection. Need to see more being judging Keopple though. Still too early.
Psenicka's shot hit something before it got to Kovich. He definitely set that up by actually shooting the puck though.
And Keopple basically swept away what looked to be a sure goal after some funky deflections
Big save by Keopple.
This has been the Rego-Suda show so far.
3 - 1 Bancroft.
Good hard working goal.
It would be great if Bancroft and Castagna started potting them, especially on pp. They are so important.
Recommendation: Port City (Alexandria) Monkspell. It's a Tripel and it legit holds up against the Pantheon.
Quote from: ice3 - 1 Bancroft.
Nice to see us actually jumping on rebounds for a change. Among all the other things that haven't been up to snuff, having dominance in the slot has been lacking lately.
That one had both Bancroft and Walsh with a chance on it.
Quote from: TrotskyRecommendation: Port City (Alexandria) Monkspell. It's a Tripel and it legit holds up against the Pantheon.
Port City has become my favorite DC-area brewery. Solid all around.
LOL. What was that guy doing? It's not like it helped with the play or positioning any. He just had the notion to mount him.
We never got inside.
Un-energetic Cornell PP.
Ufda. Official time of Harvard's 4th goal at Dartmouth: second period, 20:00.0
Feels like Walsh wins a lot of his faceoffs but also gets kicked out a bunch
Kraft tips a Robertson shot. 4 -1
Deflection in front; nicely done
Getting chippy at the end of P 2.
Keopple has looked good other than the goal
Great period, I think keopple has to start tmrw if he keeps them at 1.

My worry with Keopple is that he never seems to come out to challenge shots.
He's playing well tonight, all things considered.
Why couldn't Cornell have played like this last weekend when I was watching both games in person? And tomorrow night I'll be in Hamden, where I will be expecting the worst and hoping for the best.
Missed the first period entirely, listened to the second. Sounded like Keopple did a great job that period and that the ice was tilted toward the P goalie.
what a beauty from castagna
Castagna makes it 5-1
Quote from: TrotskyIt would be great if Bancroft and Castagna started potting them, especially on pp. They are so important.
Done.
Second Princeton PP this period.
i want to see a successful pk followed by rayhill triple-shifting for glory
"Ze-bee-ska"?
Shoutout heafdog, hear you loud and clear on the ESPN plus stream.
Lots of after the whistle poking.
This would be so soft, not even a bad scrum at all.
A face masking major. That's a rarity
Kovich gets a 5 for hitting a P-man in the head with his hand.
5 - 2 PPG
Princeton's Wang scores his first career goal to make it 5-2.
I hear this place is restricted, Wang, so don't tell 'em you're Jewish, okay?
9 mins of PP time for Princeton this period.
Just get out of here now without injuries or DQs.
That was a perfect deflection by Walsh
Accidental goal.
Bancroft PPG through traffic. 6-2
RAYHILL ICE TIME BITCHES!!!

Thank you for saying it.
Keopple played a good game after he got warmed up.
All the shoving/punching was surprising. Don't know who the instigators were but Cornell needs to be more disciplined, no matter what.
The biggest difference between Princeton and Sacred Heart was their goalies.
Cornell had a lot of puck luck in this game. Per CHN's xG stat,* our expected goals were 2.4 and Princeton's was 1.9. Cornell exceeded xG by 3.6 and Princeton by .1. This suggests Keopple played an average game, overall.
*AFAIK the CHN xG stat only takes into account shot location, not type of shot or other variables considered by more advanced xG models commonly used. I would guess that the CHN xG stat is more reliable than a layperson's own eyes, despite its limitations, which is why I reference it here. I don't have access to the more advanced xG models, though they seem to be out there for college hockey (eg. the RPI hockey blog seems to reference them).

Princeton played better than the final score. To keep beating the same drum, we were able to clear a bit of space down low on both ends and that seemed to make the difference.

The biggest difference between Princeton and Sacred Heart was their goalies.
I had the misfortune of sitting near relatives and friends of the Princeton starter this year again and the one woman (I assume mother) was thankfully a lot quieter this time. Near the end of the game, one of the kids in the adjacent section ran through a bit of the telephone taunt and I don't think the group liked that too much, lol
My 2 cents:
We started off well, but Koepple should have stopped the first goal, not to mention the D never should have let him skate in so cleanly. It looked straight in from my angle (I was parallel to the top of the circles), That took the wind out of our sails for a while, and Princeton was beating us on the puck in the corners. Fortunately we got one back against the run of play, which pepped the guys up. After the second goal we were in full control. From that point, we pounded them in both zones. I think by the end we'd worn them out.
Castagna's goal was a beauty. Hopefully he's got his mojo back.
The power play was awful. We kept trying to get the puck down low, but with Princeton bunched up in front of the goalie, there was no place to go with it. So...toss it back to the D, the 2 D-men pass it back and forth, and then drop it back down low with no place to go with it. Lather rinse repeat. Ugly. The guys on the point need to shoot occasionally, just to keep the PK honest.
OTOH, our PK looked really good. The goal Princeton scored was a seeing eye shot and Koepple was screened on that one.
I don't think anybody in the rink saw the 5:00 major. When they started reviewing the replay, I had no idea what was going on. It sure took a long time to get a decision. And that may be the first time I've ever heard of a face-masking penalty in hockey in over 50 years of following the sport. I'm not even sure what it is. Is that grabbing the face mask like in football?
Anyway, it was nice to get a decisive win. Hopefully this is the start of something lasting.

Apparently so. I've never heard of it either but that's what happened. The Princeton guy popped Kovich in the mask and Kovich responded by grabbing his mask back and giving a tug. I didn't expect hockey gloves to allow the fingers that much freedom, tbh.

The broadcasters (one a former player) said that there's one or two of those called every week in the league this year, and players have to control the urge, knowing that. I don't think it's true that they call it so often.

I don't understand "the goalie should have stopped" type of statement. I guess if I was a great goalie or even a mediocre goalie I might have that opinion but I'm more of "the goalie would like that one back" mentality mainly because I'm a mediocre skater who is in awe of EVERY D1 player.
That said I also wish the D had prevented this goal but i can't even skate backwards worth a fart - though i sometimes fart when trying.
that facemak call was weird. Never seen it. Im not even sure you can grab a mask with the gloves on. Sure you can push the mask around,. But thats the same scrum you see every game when it gets chippy.
WHat I dont get is why its a 5 min major if they want to call it.
but in reviewing the rule its kinda catch penalty
"A.R.: At a stoppage of play, a Team A player moves an open hand back and forth
(e.g., facewashing) on the face mask of a Team B player. RULING: A major
penalty must be assessed to the Team A player for face mask. A game misconduct
may be assessed at the discretion of the referee. A player shall not grasp, push
with an open hand or move an open hand back and forth (e.g., facewashing) on
the face mask of an opponent."
Its clear it happens often and never called the way the rule is written

The rule seems overly harsh.
Has everyone here not worn hockey gloves before? With modern hockey gloves it's very easy to grab helmet cages. And face masking has been a penalty for as long as I can remember. It's just so uncommon that many people don't really think about it. I see it and spearing as similar types of penalties--rare but always results in a major.
Also, the rule gives the referees the option to assess a game misconduct, but Kovich was just sent to the penalty box and re-entered play after the end of the major. They evidently didn't deem it that serious but had to call a major by rule at the minimum.

The CHN app last night had Bancroft's first goal credited to Rayhill. Since I hadn't yet started watching the game, I was pretty surprised to see 1) That Rayhill was playing; 2) That he had scored a goal; 3) That the goal was unassisted, meaning he must have made a great play.
In any case, I'm glad he actually did get on the ice in the final minutes.
Being heard over the murmurs and whispers of the Princeton fanbase, is not a high bar to hurdle. But thank you.

Quote from: BearLoverQuote from: upprdeckas bad as its been going we are still pretty good in betting odds to win the title. still the top pick in the ECAC
I'm sorry, but this is insane. I don't know much about betting odds but is it possible nobody has bet on this and so the odds haven't been updated? We are far out from even getting a bye. Quinnipiac should be the clear favorite.
I was gonna take my daily shot at Clownlover, and after some analysis...I guess I still will, except it's a jab and not body blow, body blow, knockout.
There's a big spread in league games played so far so we can't ignore games in hand. I took current ECAC standings and projected what they'd be if the teams not yet having played the 12 games Q has played out their games in hand. I assumed they had the same point winning percentage as today in doing so. (Data from Chn as of now Saturday afternoon.). PPT1 and PRK1 are projected point totals and team rank if 12 games were played
Team GP PTS GIH1 PPT1 PRK1 Pt%
Clarkson 9 21 3 28.0 1 0.778
Quinnipiac 12 27 0 27.0 2 0.75
Dartmouth 10 19 2 22.8 3 0.633
Colgate 9 17 3 22.7 4 0.63
Harvard 11 18 1 19.6 5 0.545
Union. 11 18 1 19.6 5 0.545
Cornell 9 14 3 18.7 7 0.519
Rensselaer 11 12 1 13.1 8 0.364
Princeton 11 11 1 12.0 9 0.333
Yale 11 11 1 12.0 9 0.333
Brown 11 10 1 10.9 11 0.303
St. Lawrence 9 8 3 10.7 12 0.296
I'll agree with Clownlover that we shouldn't be on anyone's radar as far as having good odds to win. That's nuts. And if there are actually decent odds out there, he's probably right about the lack of action, and id plunk down a bet super quick if I found them.
But we're not that far out from a bye after GIH are factored: only 4 points back and only 1 point back of Union and Harvard above us. It'll be a tight race between Dart, Colgate, union, Harvard and us to get the remaining 2 byes.
Btw, don't know where upprdeck is betting, but FanDuel shows these odds...last updated in April....

In my mind, it means the same thing.
I don't necessarily prefer when something happens after every whistle but I felt like they needed to start being more engaged and that's the easiest way to appear as such. I thought there was more of an effort to generate offense from the point. Maybe it only looks that way because they were rewarded with a couple of goals that originated from out top. I just hope they can continue to have successful traffic. As a second half of my life pessimist, I thought there was no way that Castagna was not going to pass on that two on one. What a snipe.
