It's really unfortunate that challenged reviews can only be used for alleged major penalties, because there's a lot of situations where a missed call should have been a minor, but the refs are only able to rule it major or nothing.

This one's shaping up to be a classic gongshow

I tell ya, these refs are letting EVERYTHING go today. There seems to be a lot of confusion about what constitutes a body check in women's hockey. But they've also missed a bunch of interferences and crosschecks both ways. Really absurd lack of control that would never happen in the men's game.

Loss aversion bias. It explains everything all the time.

Because they are travel partners with Harvard, we are wired to always be a little less up for them or have a little less energy. Them's the breaks.

Quote from: scoop85Always good for a chuckle when the announcer, in acknowledging the large Cornell contingent in a visiting rink, says "they always travel well from Ithaca." As if there aren't thousands of Cornell alumns within spitting distance of most of the rinks we play in.

Lol, it's total fantasy land stuff. "The Ithacans came in droves of stagecoaches and caravans across the hinterlands, picking up merriment seeking hitchhikers along the turnpike, as they are wont to do"

Band sounded GREAT tonight too. Extra fun performances of Time Warp and Schafer Beer Victory Song.

It's been too damn long since we've beaten the Donatoids. Let's (f-ing) Go Red!

Quote from: TrotskyHarvard announcer on the left has a textbook HYP Shit Eating Grin.  It's genuinely impressive.

Indeed it is! Good observation

Almost done with the Colgate weekend, and they have thoroughly kicked our ass in both games. Really good team in Hamilton this year and we don't nearly have the depth of talent to keep up.

They said she's out long-term, whatever that means

For the life of me, I don't know why they resurfaced a stripe of ice for the shootout tonight but didn't last night. They've got some really good ice on those rinks and we got to see full periods of high speed hockey.

Man, Cornell athletics has been running the same promo ad for a zillion years now. "Now I'm in this place where I know how to balance my life, and it's great."

There is nothing like the comforting sameness of Big Time Sports Atmospheres. Your tradition is my tradition!

Quinnipiac is a really good team once again. And trying to play from behind meant we were vulnerable to being pressed coming out of our zone. Goaltending was a little suspect tonight but we just got unzipped for most of those goals. In a lot of ways it was a better performance than last week against Harvard. We have yet to find the golden balance between game control and fluidity. That comes with maturity.
