could everyone else have given up on the voting section, or is our secret weapon running all day?

Quote from: JerseygirlNah, dude, like a Frozen Four game against UHN, a Lax NCAA final against Syracuse, or a basketball game against the #1 ranked team in the country to snap a 54-game home win streak.

In the Lax NCAA tournament last year (don't think anyone mentioned it, apologies if someone did), Cornell pulled out two upsets just to get to the finals, including a win over number 1 ranked UVA. Up to that point, Virginia had lost just two games all season, both to number 3 ranked Duke. And, not only did we beat them, it was a resounding win (15-6). Yes, we lost a heartbreaker in the finals, but UVA was favored to win that tournament until we defeated them. It wasn't the Biggest Game, but it was definitely a Formidably Sized Game that we won, and I would have put it over beating Syracuse in the final had we come out of the final with a win :`-(.

For the most part, people don't think of Ivy League teams as playing in big games, let alone coming close to winning them. Beating the spread on Kansas by over 15 points is a win for our team's national recognition, even though it won't show up in the W column.

Quote from: mnagowski5-2 final. Nice game Red. We're still over-rated, however.

Over-rated based on the 4th ranking they showed us with today, but I don't think there has been an update to those since mid-December. Any idea when new ones come out?

Quote from: mnagowskiGary Melrose is complimenting this Cornell team more than I can stomach.

I wonder which NHL team he would have used to compare the Cornell team that showed up in Florida. His Red Wings comment earlier amused me.

Cornell goal (Collins), 14:48 left.

Cornell has had 33 shots on goal through two periods. More than we've had in any full game since the 5-2 win against Princeton in November.

We definitely looked like we were having some trouble covering the ice at the end of that power play. Don't know if that's a function of the ice size or a well-executed UNH offensive.
