Title - LGR! Who is going to Toledo?
Quote from: 617BigRedTitle - LGR! Who is going to Toledo?
I wish I could
I really wish I could
I'm trying to change work schedules but it's not looking good
I was going to go. I was on the fence. And then the tickets sold out and now they are too much. So if I go it will only be on Saturday.
Yeah unfortunately the first round is always at brutal times. Might hustle over for Saturday if we make it, especially if our opponent is BU
Hahahah good one :'( got EU conlaw until 5 pm and then a bus chartered back to NJ for Friday for the spring break. Will be watching from Ithaca. Somewhere. Plans TBD.
Thanks to DOGE, not me.
Quote from: TrotskyThanks to DOGE, not me.
You didn't get your social security check?
I'm going. I live in Ann Arbor, so an easy trip. I'm going with my MSU alum wife, so a house divided. The situation here is tense. One of our daughters went to Cornell and another went to MSU, so extended family turmoil as well.
I really thought about it. Then I looked at the cost. It would be about $1,000 for the trip (flight, hotels, rental-car) and it's too far to drive. It also helped when I was working and had a ton of frequent flyer miles. It might be better if it was only a two day regional, but when they expanded the regionals to three days a few years ago, that kinda killed travel out west for me when we're a major underdog unless it's a desirable destination. After all, who wants to be stuck in Toledo for two extra days?
Plus, I'm still dealing with an injured cat, so I can use that as an additional rationalization for not going.
Funny that if it was in Boston wife would have no issue going but Toledo is too far. Only an hr or so different
Toledo in March not as much fun
I will be there on Saturday if they get through the first game.

True, but if we've learned nothing else here in the pages of eLynah this season is the poisonous nature of high expectations.

But we'll still blame you for jinxing us.
ESPN says the regional final is at either 4 or 6:30 on Saturday. Why would that be up in the air at this point?
ESPN wants to decide on the order of the Toledo and Fargo finals based on which teams are in them.

First goal gonna be huge Thursday, if we can score first like our chances to shut them down via tough team defense,
if we get behind a goal or two most likely no way we can come back vs. their brickwall in net...

Quote from: chimpfoodYeah unfortunately the first round is always at brutal times.
I hate the new Thursday-to-Sunday regionals weekend. Friday afternoon games were tough enough, but Thursday is ridiculous. Plus we lost Bittersweet Saturday (six games that day; five more in the whole rest of the season).
Firewagon in Toledo in the early game. BU committed a penalty right after tying it up.

You and me both. It was OK, when my sister lived in Mass and we were somewhere in New England. But if we get sent out west, it better be a destination worth visiting or I won't bother traveling.
Quote from: ugarteFirewagon in Toledo in the early game. BU committed a penalty right after tying it up.
And OSU nearly got another one. Make that two.
OSU retakes the lead seconds after BU ties it on the PP.
EDIT: BU then re-ties it seconds later! 3 goals scored in 42 seconds.
Speaking of the BU PP, the way they moved the puck before their 2nd goal it looked like they were playing a different sport than we've been playing all year.
this close to another one as the period expired
Quote from: ugartethis close to another one as the period expired
I watched it three times and still couldn't tell.
Bonkers, but maybe defenders shouldn't be spectators.
According to Jane McNally, the lines will be the same for today's game as they were last weekend. She has not posted the line sheet yet, but typed it into her post.
Mack - Walsh - Bancroft
Psenicka - Kovich - DeSantis
Penney - Castagna - Major
Kraft - Catalano - O'Leary
Robertson - Rego

it took so long to get it stopped in a place where the puck was visible and 0.0 on the clock (which i didn't screencap but trust me)
The last 10 minutes of the second period was some of the most wild stuff I've ever seen.

Yep, clear that the clock hit zero a split second before the goal crossed the goal line.

And BU scores again early in the 3rd and a shorty to follow. Now 5-3 BU.
Gotta admit that the analysis of our game between periods left me non-plussed. Two minutes about how wonderful MSU is then "Cornell is hot right now." Meh.
And now 6-3. Stick a fork in them.

And BU scores off a one-hand fling beyond the goal line to go up 6-3. OSU got away from their game and has paid dearly.

7-3 BU.
BU must have gotten a new team doctor after the first period.
OSU didn't strike me as a defensively dominant team when I saw a bit of one of their games at Princeton earlier this season (they lost both games that weekend). I guess not too surprising that they've given up this many goals
Snowman.
Nothing like a goal 3x6.
Yikes (for OSU.) Let's go Red, beat Michigan State.
Game over.
Bring on the real Red team.
So, we're on ESPN++++++++, the Ocho?
Pregame compared MSU as the "Cornell" of their conference. Hard hitting, explosive, great goalie.
But we have the INTANGIBLES!!!!

We're the Cornell of Being Cornell. Lol.
Ohio State 1 2 0 — 3
Boston U 0 3 5 — 8
Ohio State led 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 in the second period. That was it for the Buckeyes, then BU got the game's last six goals. So much for an Ohio State hockey NCAA double. Two BU short-handed goals including an empty netter. Game 1 attendance in Toledo listed as 6907 of 8000 capacity. So reports of a stadium sellout may be accurate-ish. This probably includes tickets sold but maybe not (yet) in the stadium.
Just saw the MSU lines. They helpfully inform that our Snooze Play is still at .143...
I hope it's just me, but watching the other ncaa games, the teams just look so fast.

Thaaaaat's a nice stat to put up on the big screen.
Quote from: stereaxThaaaaat's a nice stat to put up on the big screen.
Yeah that was great.
GOD DAMN IT.
Tough, bad bounce off the board allowed them to turn back quickly.
Yep when you give up 3 good scoring chances in the same possession the number 2 team is gonna score one of them. Get it together and get that one back.
What are they doing out there? Give up 3 grade A scoring chances in one shift what do you expect. Get the puck out and skate with it.
Couple nice looks, good recovery.
If they could stop showing MSU players. Would be nice.
I worry that we're gonna get caught if our D start pinching
They're bringing up the Dartmouth game. God save us all.
Quote from: stereaxIf they could stop showing MSU players. Would be nice.
ESPN coverage always favors 1st the team with the larger football program and, a distant 2nd, the favorite.
We're lucky they even have head shots of our guys.
God I fucking hate that song. Roast in hell Neil Diamond.
At least we're locking down Howard..?
Do they know they can leave their defensive zone..? Feels like they're refusing to go to the o-zone.
They're picking our pockets too easily
FUCK YES WALSHYYYYYY
YES!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!! Walsh!!!
Whoop
Whoop

Looked like first goal against Maine last year.

Big goal, feels like we're lucky to be tied right now. Our D men are getting tripped up big time by their forecheck. They're sending one guy high for each D man but not pressing aggressively. Instead of sending it up the boards our guys just keep passing between each other until someone messes up. Hopefully Schaf can fix it at the intermission.
Mike's busy, leave him alone.
NO MORE LOLLYGAGGIN! YOU'RE A BUNCH OF LOLLYGAGGERS!

OK, survive to the intermission.

God damn it again.
So, um, note to self...
Grrrrrrrrrr
STAY OUT OF THE BOX
MSU skates to force action. that pp is beautiful. i don't like to see it against me but whew so pretty.
Fucking Howard gets an assist too.
Weak penalty call. Dangerous playmakers for the Spartans
GO AWAY MSU HOLY FUCK
Really annoying to go down on that call
Quote from: chimpfoodReally annoying to go down on that call
agreed weak call but so it goes
Well, Bancroft said he wants to model his game after Tom Wilson's in that recent scouting interview: he certainly has that knack for taking stupidi/ill-timed penalties, weak call or not.
Last minute PP goal with rough (especially on a soft cross check call) but we can hang with these boys. Lots of hockey to play.
MSU very fast skating, physical team that plays defense and has skilled players up front. Faceoffs the biggest thing keeping Cornell in the game
this is a rough team for us. our method of clearing the puck is throwing it blindly away from wherever we are and that is a bad formula for playing this team, who will basically always beat us to the puck in open ice. we're going to win by 1 or lose by 5.
Two pucks skittered off the corner weirdly to Shane's right. The first one led to a goal.
Ohio, build better rinks. Maybe we can take advantage next period.
Goal one: bad bounce off Zamboni door
Goal two: PP bc of a bullshit cross check call
We look pretty good. Guess attendance wouldn't be so good with Cornell/bu regional final.
Quote from: toddloseWe look pretty good. Guess attendance wouldn't be so good with Cornell/bu regional final.
Let's find out.
.
i think we can win puck battles if we ever get the zone
Done a good job in many area. a couple bad clears and a real soft cross check call
But I think we can create off the forecheck, lets hope we start to understand how to get it deep better
Let's see if we can't establish more of our forecheck in the 2nd period and swing the momentum. Game is fully up for grabs.
Ryan's busy, leave him alone.
"the ice is a little bit choppy" that's right walshy you tell em!!!
Quote from: toddloseGoal one: bad bounce off Zamboni door
I'm glad Schafer mentioned it during the interview. It happened not once, but twice. :-(
Quote from: HeafDogQuote from: toddloseGoal one: bad bounce off Zamboni door

Same! Entire team's a little bit angry, I think.
So will we just keep handing them goals or what? Wake the *+++ up
Liked that shot from Stanley. More shooting please.
AGAIN IN THE FUCKIN ZAMBONI AREA.
Not sure why the puck was dropped while a linesman was trying to point something out but what can you do.
Of course Jack's scrapping. He's like a tiny yappy dog. A chihuahua.
These announcers might as well be MSU. I typically don't mind and meh it's ESPN so of course it's shit, but this is embarrassing even for Bristol.

They did mention how attendance would be great if msu advanced.
MSU has more speed. They have gotten sticks into passing lanes when we start to create something,
We're having to work a lot harder to generate chances than MSU, who know how to play with a lead. Tough position to be in.
They just know more about MSU -- natural factory school bias for Bristol. Like I said, I typically don't mind but this is more offensive than usual.
The CU feed is fine except for the occasional Sturmtruppen interloping.
Quote from: imafrshmnWe're having to work a lot harder to generate chances than MSU, who know how to play with a lead. Tough position to be in.
Yes, but that was also true of when we beat Denver. We can do this.
the way we're so indecisive with the puck influences how teams play us. bad teams fall into a shell and we refuse to try to shoot through it or set up for rebounds. fast teams know we'll hold the puck long enough that a defender can gamble on making a run at the puckhandler without a ton of risk of a pass being threaded to someone moving into the open space. frustrating.

We're looking better in the second. What the fuck 18 saves already for Shane?? The problem is, every time we have a nice set up in the offensive zone, we have one blundering play where I'm screaming at the TV.
Ufda, Nazi News decides to move product right during our rush so back to ESPN. IIRC there is a way to throttle those fucking in-play ads.

Not great.
They don't need to pick our pockets
We're giving it up
3 goals on bad plays hurts
That's such a back breaker after we weathered the storm and tied it up
And there it is again. This is a joke
we're looking... overall better? but christ.
Back breaking goal
Time to make this llike the first game today and have the Big Ten team give up a bunch unanswered.
Can't give up 3 questionable goals, let alone 1.
Well, 20 minutes to go. Alright. Whatever. Figure it out. Augustine is beatable.

this game? (second period only)
The two goals have been on fantastic plays. Augustine hasn't had to stop much but the good thing is that Cornell has been able to capitalize twice on limited opportunities
Wellp, not ideal but it's one period to go and we know there is a real path to victory, as tough as it is. The nonstop defending has taken a toll. Play for
each other, play for the school, play for Coach. Empty the tank.
31-21 in faceoffs, so at least we still control there. Maybe that will come into play later (hopeful foreshadowing).
Somewhere in the second before the goal we started taking up a lot more space. Playing well. Scoring two goals is a lot though.
Stay close and anything can happen.
Hey at least this time it's an Augustine special. God he's a sweet kid. :'(
This game is still winnable.
Quote from: TrotskyStay close and anything can happen.
Exactly. Looks like we're slowly finding our groove. Play 20 good minutes. Score. Don't get scored on. Anything can happen.
We have 2 "clean" goals. They have one (on a questionable cross checking call). Their third goal was like me playing against my 6 month old nephew.
We're playing the #2 team in the country. By polls, the #1. They're way outshooting us, but we're doing what we have to in limiting their big chances. Through two, we're only down one.
We're still in this.

Agreed. But we need to play borderline "perfect". The boards screwed us. The ref screwed us. Miscommunication has screwed us. It's part of the game I guess.

They are still playing with a lot of nerves
We are the best period of our season away from beating the #1 team in the country in what is practically a road game, and going to the Elite Eight. As back to back ECAC Champions.
I want all you motherfuckers to remember how we felt just 29 days ago, when we had just lost to Union (http://www.tbrw.info/index.html?/weekly_Updates/2025_Schedule.html).
Enjoy this.
These are the glory days.

+1. Officiating has been cowardly
We are playing splendidly right now. Obvious we must convert, but there's nothing wrong with our game this period.
I would say the refs are right to let this shit go, but they DID give them the one ppg. That is what sucks.
WE'RE TIED

I know it is late but we need to keep taking the bodies.
Shane again.
We're letting the momentum swing back to MSU. Gotta keep the pressure up and stop just "surviving."
I see us pressing and moving. We aren't retreating. MSU is coming hard and we are matching them.

FFJOL tripped.
They called it on the wrong guy. It was the defenseman, #9.
What are they reviewing...
Quote from: Larry72MSU not the only team that rolls four lines! LGR!
And the 4th line draws the penalty after a strong shift.
I was not aware that was reviewable.
Like, that's the right call and I'd rather put a defenseman in, I think. But still, strange.

FIRST ROUND SCHAFER. Second PP unit out there with 10 seconds to go and get it done. You can't write this. GIMME BU
That was one of the greatest games I have ever seen. Thank you all for sharing it.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Quote from: Larry72This is a more fantastic ending than the Q game!!
What I loved about this one is Cornell just regrouped after a rough second period and dominated. Third period it felt like they won every race and every board battle that mattered.
Also, two incredibly well-coached hockey teams. Support was impeccable, puck movement was good (MSU's was great), forechecking and backchecking from every guy on the ice. Remarkable.
That was glorious!
Rushing through my prelim in 25 minutes to witness that was so, so worth it.
SCREW BU!
Fantastic. Bounced back from a bunch of bad bounces.
And I scared the crap out of my dog!!!

FWIW, Mankato and Western still tied with a minute left in the first OT.
Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82I just scared the crap out of the cat.

Same here, and our cat is pretty unscareable!
In another weird twist, the crappy 3rd goal for Michigan State put them into a defensive shell for most of the third period looking to defend their 1 goal lead. Late goals didn't give them enough time to get their offensive mojo going again. Good for the Red for taking it to them in the 3rd and controlling the bulk of the play. MSU of course was also cursed by the 18-0-2 after leading after 2 period quote by the announcers.

Well if the roles had been reversed and we pulled a penalty, we'd have said the same thing about Cornell. And if we lost 3-2 on that stupid third goal, we'd definitely have said the same thing

Quote from: TrotskyQuote from: SnowballWhat amazing play from Major and Walsh

Holy fucking shit what a time to play your best.
After a subpar season, Robertson's found his groove again in the postseason. His play along the boards where he got off the shot leading to Walsh's tying goal symbolized the effort we played with that entire period. Make no mistake, MSU is a terrific team, perhaps even better than the Denver team that won the NC last year. But after looking like we didn't belong on the same ice for good stretches of the 1st 2 periods, we imposed our will over the final 20 and won as Schafer-like a game as could be scripted.
I'm still in disbelief.
The hockey gods have blessed us all today. My lord, what a thing of beauty we just witnessed.

Give it up for Ian Shane--34 saves today. When's the last time a Cornell goaltender had 30 saves (other than, you know, last year against Maine)? Probably not in an ECAC game.
Obviously the games from your college days always stand out. But, this one felt like Northeastern in 2009. Will remember both of them (and many others) for a long time.

He goes by Tre because he's James Augustine III. And he's a name... and number [zooms in on his jersey number which is somehow 1 rather than 3] to remember.
Kenneth James Augustine III. Trey. Wears... 1. Ok then. You'd expect 33, maybe, if you don't want 3 given that's a skater's number...
He's honoring his grandfather for being the first. You really gonna hate on that fine young man?
Can I hate on that overly-produced dramatic video they made? His grandfather was 91 and passed away a few years ago. It's a little sad, but it's not like he overcame extreme adversity as the piece implied.
At least he didn't live to see this.
Quote from: djk26Give it up for Ian Shane--34 saves today. When's the last time a Cornell goaltender had 30 saves (other than, you know, last year against Maine)? Probably not in an ECAC game.
Pretty sure he had 30+ against BU at MSG last year, and he'll probably need to make about that many on Saturday.

ER, bud, I love Auggy and I have since probably the World Juniors this year. But tonight? Tonight I'm gonna make fun of him.
Has he even given up 4 goals in a game this year?
There was one game on 01/30 vs Ohio State. The only other time? Tonight.
Quote from: College Hockey NewsHoly Toledo (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/)
Cornell did it again, knocking off a 1 seed -- this time Michigan State, thanks to a PPG with 10 seconds left in regulation. The Big Red will play Boston University on Saturday. ... Not to be outdone, Western Michigan needed 2 OT, but survived in a 2-1 win over Minnesota State.

That final 20-30 second sequence on the PP was so masterful, it's almost hard to believe we had it in us. We absolutely undressed Sparty with the last couple passes--those guys were practically shitting the bed. Champagne hockey. Cheers Schafe.

"You just kind of laugh it off. It's a tough goal, not one you want to let in," Shane said. "But like I said earlier, you can't really get too far ahead of yourself. Can't worry about it."
"I wasn't laughing, by the way," Schafer said. "It was frustrating to give up that third one."
Quote from: DafatoneTwo pucks skittered off the corner weirdly to Shane's right. The first one led to a goal.
Ohio, build better rinks. Maybe we can take advantage next period.

From memory, it was about 15 years ago, a non-conference game against UNH (I think on the road), before all the games were televised, but this one was, so the Cornell Club of Rochester was having a viewing party at The Distillery. In the third period, 5x5, Cornell had a shift where they controlled the puck in the UNH zone for a full two minutes, changed all five players at least once if not more, completely tired out the defense, and then scored. It was like watching a power play, except it was even strength.
Cornell won the game, of course.

That's a good summary of what transpired at UNH, a game I believe we won 5-2 with a team led by Scrivens, Nash, and Greening. Unfortunately, I think that's the same season (2010) when we lost badly to UNH as a higher seed in Albany in the 1st round of the NCAAs, which might have been the worst 1st round game of the Schafer era.

YAY Jane!
That was one of the best games I've EVER seen.
But I really thought, based on the chances each team had, that was a game Cornell loses at least 8 times out of 10. Shane was great other than the giveaway, some guys had unbelievable individual efforts (Walsh, Robertson, Major, ...). But other than that...Cornell is going to need to play MUCH better as a full unit to beat BU.
That's not to take anything away from this win. It was an extremely gutsy win that will never be forgotten by any of us who watched.
One of the absolute wildest things about this game was that I can't recall Cornell completing more than a few cross-ice passes on the PP this ENTIRE SEASON. That pass was never available, to the point where it seemed Cornell gave up even looking for it. And then somehow with 10 seconds left in the NCAA tournament they completed two such passes CONSECUTIVELY.
I noticed earlier in the season that the second PP unit looked kind of okay, maybe they should have gotten more opportunities over the course of the year.

There was a huge snowstorm. I recall driving home with my then girlfriend (now wife) and being genuinely terrified.
The first round NCAA loss to UNH was the same weekend as basketball in the sweet 16 vs Kentucky.

Yep. I went to the game in Syracuse and then drove to Albany the next day.
Sadly, I drove home the day after that.
while the whole sequence was nice, on replay how good the saucer pass from Mack to Major was stood out
Major made that look easy, and I would venture there arent many guys on the team with the hands to collect that and then send it back

I was sitting two rows directly in front of the Judges table at an adjudicated concert band competition watching the end of the game in my lap. I didn't let myself twitch but I'm pretty sure I did start crying.

As I mentioned last night, I missed almost all of the third period. So, with some time to kill sitting in my car during alternate-side parking, I watched the third period. That was the best period I've seen Cornell play all year. Maybe since Barron left? I got chills as soon as FFJOL got hacked, when the first golden chance on the PP got stopped, when Mack saucered the puck over to Major... it's worth reliving if you haven't relived it yet.
I am going to miss this senior class more than I expected but goddamn Major has taken huge leaps in the last month. The growth potential of the team that Casey Jones gets handed is insane. Ready for BU and whatever comes after.
Any chance Schafer unretires and comes back for a few more seasons? j/k but lets send him out with a national title win!
Maybe around like '14-15 or before the shift to more attacking style when we hadnt won much for few years was walking back from Sucks game over that bridge back towards Harvard Sq. and was about to talk with friends again about how Schafer had to go, just one FF trip we need new coach to win in modern game etc. then turned around and guess who was walking right behind us with his staff... ::bugeye::
Lesson learned and on to success in the years since! LGR

I'm surprised you say this. It was by far Cornell's best period of the game—periods one and two were really bad—but even in period three things could easily have gone south in a hurry. I will have to go back and rewatch, but I recall around four grade-A scoring chances from MSU in between the two Cornell goals. MSU played too defensively early in the period, allowing Cornell to gain traction, but Cornell didn't actually come especially close to scoring until the Walsh goal. On the other hand, MSU easily could have scored multiple goals that period. Some they missed eg. Howard back door), some Shane made a great save on, and I think at least one in the third hit the post?

First, we had a few great scoring chances before the walsh goal. We were swarming in that end. It was different from the many times this season when we've had long possessions that consisted of fecklessly passing the puck back and forth along the blue line. We were attacking. Second, the Howard goal was not as close as it looked; his positioning was great but the entry pass sucked.
The four grade-A chances that you are attributing to MSU were no different than our missed opportunities in the third period. Yes, things could have gone south but they didn't because we were dispossessing Spartans with hard hits and active sticks. The most important thing to remember, though, is that we didn't play the third period against St. Lawrence. We did what we did
against Michigan State. Of course they had opportunities to break it open: they are, based on the body of work across the season, a much better team than we are! They are faster than we are, with a more creative vision. I don't see us making the pass for their second goal once if the season was 200 games.
And still, we had a period where we flat outplayed them. Maybe they were coached into a defensive crouch, but that isn't our problem. We took the punches for two periods and emerged down by a single goal because of Shane. In the third, we played great hockey.
MUS had more team speed. And there were times they just knew where the teammate would be and made that blind pass. That is tough to defend.
Quote from: BearLoverThat was one of the best games I've EVER seen.
But I really thought, based on the chances each team had, that was a game Cornell loses at least 8 times out of 10. Shane was great other than the giveaway, some guys had unbelievable individual efforts (Walsh, Robertson, Major, ...). But other than that...Cornell is going to need to play MUCH better as a full unit to beat BU.
That's not to take anything away from this win. It was an extremely gutsy win that will never be forgotten by any of us who watched.
MSU wins that more often than not, but I thought we played extremely well. When given the opportunity, MSU scored practically at will, such as a weird bounce off the zamboni door or their one PP. They had other high danger chances and Shane had a great game, but we kept MSU from having chances good enough that they could score easily with their massive talent.
On the other end, we attacked well and converted the big opportunities we got. Augustine's save percentage on the day was awful, but none of the goals were the least bit soft other than giving up a big rebound leading to the tying goal.
Save for a could've-been-backbreaking-but-wasn't third goal against, we played almost exactly how you'd deaw up a win for us.

One of our PP issues all year has been the bumper position not moving enough. Usually we have a guy camped in the center slot, allowing defenders to stick to him and clogging up the ice.
Here, Mack made the first pass above the bumper, then recognizing what was up, Psenicka drops down to screen the goalie, opening up the center of the ice for the feed back to Mack.

Ondrej Psenicka, doing the little things right. On the goal cam from above, you also see him lock up the stick of the defender closest to the puck.

Watching it again (and again, and again), I'm starting to see a set play there. Boy, it looks like someone saw something in how MSU was setting up its kill, whether on tape or in the moment. Yes, I think Psenicka has great sense, but he moves almost before the play has a chance to develop.
Amazing, amazing, amazing.
Quote from: ugarteI don't see us making the pass for their second goal once if the season was 200 games.
I guess I am less impressed with that pass than most.
Yes, it was absolutely beautiful. But it was also incredibly lucky. I think it was more of a "throw the puck in that direction and hope someone is there" kind of play than an actual intended pass. 49 out of 50 times it doesn't connect. The 1 in 50 that it does, they look like gods.

I think this is completely wrong. The lane was open, Mack threaded the needle to Major, Major threaded it back to Mack, Mack was rewarded with an extremely high likelihood scoring opportunity, which he buried. I don't see where luck comes in, at all. It didn't deflect off anybody, just perfect tape-to-tape passes and great finish.

I may not have included enough of the original quote. The "their" was MSU. ugarte and I were referring to the blind behind the back pass that resulted in MSU's second goal.
Apologies for the confusion I caused.

For me, the most impressive thing was that the passer was on his ass a half second before the puck arrived. To get on your feet and instantly make that pass shows pure instinct. Same with the shot. You can't expect the puck will be there can you?
Didn't Mack score on a spin-o-rama at Colgate in the QF series? That's probably the prettiest goal we've scored.

Exactly. I feel the same way about most of the sports center top 20 type of saves for goalies too. It's the ones where they are just flailing and hoping for the best that look coolest, but it's mostly luck when it happens.

The four grade-A chances that you are attributing to MSU were no different than our missed opportunities in the third period.

The most important thing to remember, though, is that we didn't play the third period against St. Lawrence. We did what we did against Michigan State. Of course they had opportunities to break it open: they are, based on the body of work across the season, a much better team than we are! They are faster than we are, with a more creative vision.

I'll just say I don't think MSU went into a defensive posture by plan. Cornell put them there.
That dominant 2 minute shift early on in the third put MSU on their heels. Cornell was changing one guy at a time at will while the 5 guys in green and white had to keep slowly collapsing towards the center of their zone. Defending for that long kills the legs.
That wasn't the only shift where that happened, either, it was just the longest. Cornell was a bit more disciplined and a bit more lucky with clears and stoppages in the second when MSU was dominating, so they didn't have the same level of awful long dragging defensive shifts, and by the last half of the third Cornell had the jump and energy for sustained bursts.
MSU was winning every race and board battle in the second. They were losing nearly all of them by the middle of the third. They were still faster and still dangerous, and we saw that right after the game tying goal, but they couldn't keep it up.
