Looks like the player originally in the zone before the puck reached back with his skate to try and tag up and may have done so before the second Dartmouth player touched the puck? Or it may have been impossible to tell whether he was successful in doing so on the replay which would have prevented the referee's from overturning the original call.

There's a simulation-based projection of who we'd play in the ECAC Projected Standings thread on USCHO.

53% Union, 20% Brown, 18% Princeton and the rest Colgate or RPI.

I stand corrected. After listening to the interview, it's clear he meant Cornell games and, after looking up the history, it's also clear he's (at least partially) right. There have been games of 15, 16,18 and 12 Cornell total shots since last year.

I'm not convinced that comment was aimed directly at Cornell. It seems to apply more generally to Clarkson this year and may have been an assumption by the writer that wasn't really intended that way. But goalies do seem to like being busy.

Riley Nash back with the Bruins hoping to display the offensive skills we know he has...

Alex Lyon apparently not returning for his senior year at Yale. I really had no idea he'll be the first to leave early under Keith Allain.

UMass is reportedly hiring an ECAC head coach, but not ours.

Kyle Betts too, so it looks like 6.

Providence - mainly due to fondness for the battles we had with them from '78-81 and admiration for the style of hockey they played then, but not really anything they've done since. Their current team, though, reminds me of their teams from that era. Plus the Jankowski connection; he would have looked good in Red.

Makes me think of the very enjoyable webcast of the Nov. 2007 game at Hanover (thank you TBRW) in which the Dartmouth announcers were conspicuously absent. Only the sounds from the rink came through in a 4-1 Cornell win.

Willcox, McCarron doubtful per Coach Schafer in IJ:

Senior Joakim Ryan missed eight games in November and December after suffering a hand injury in the opener, and junior Reece Willcox and sophomore Patrick McCarron are currently nursing injuries; their returns are doubtful for this weekend, Schafer said.

An opportunity on the right wing-challenged Bruins for Ferlin (and some nice words for the program):

My recollection of 1980 is only slightly different. First, the BC game. BC had 3 PPs in the first period, but left the ice down 2-0. It was 5-0 by the middle of the third period and a BC alum and his young son got up to leave. As they were walking up the aisle, a particularly strident Cornell fan (not me) said: "How come you're leaving? The game's not over". To which the young boy said " Oh yeah? BC could beat Cornell in another game any day". To which the Cornell fan replied "There are no more games kid." Beautiful. The PC game, I believe was 5-2 late in the 2nd period, when Brock Tredway scored in the final minute to give us hope going into the 3rd. Roy Kerling won it with a seeing eye slapshot from the point mid- to late 3rd. The Dartmouth game was the only of 4 between the 2 teams that year that Cornell won. They met in the NCAA Final Four consolation game in addition to the 2 regular season games.

The final RS game was a gem (in retrospect). It was at BU, not Harvard, and Cornell needed a tie for the 8th spot. BU rallied from a 5-0 deficit to tie the game and send it to OT where Brian Marrett won it for Cornell to send them back to Boston the following Tuesday against BC.

Over 30 years ago now, but still nice to think back on.
