Quote from: ugarteI'll take a three point weekend.

Cornell coming back to win game 1 in OT more satisfying than Colgate coming back in game 2 and settling for a tie. That early season loss at Princeton smarts even more seeing howing close the 4-9 teams stand now.

Colgate coming back to tie game 2 more satisfying that Cornell winning game 1 in OT...LOL. A 1-pt weekend for 'Gate ain't gonna do it. Right now I'd bet on Cornell to rise to the top of the league if they continue the way they're playing. Things seem to be jelling for you guys; should make some noise in the playoffs..and maybe LP? Our team is going in the opposite direction...sad. Well, it's been real visiting your board. Thx.

Quote from: cuhockey93Starr was surprisingly silent for a rivalry game. I can't believe the Cornell fans with the Corn and L weren't being harassed more for all the trash they were talking.

I was in the "old folks" section which is always pretty quiet. But I thought the students were a bit voiceless - usually much more noise at a CU-Gate game. Maybe it's all the frosh who have not been indoctrinated about these contests yet. Couldn't hear the trash talk from the Corn - L fans, but the two pep bands were into it.

I was there. Sorry about the feed; it is a typical Colgate feed that begins at 7 and ends at 9 by computer....no extra time given, sadly...so no OT. The puck in offf a Cornell player, I think Buckles(?). I was impressed with Cornell in the 3rd - you dominated us and we were spent from all the banging. Too many PIM for 'Gate; playing 4x4 takes it toll on the bench, and we were without guys to begin with. Finn made some mistakes and our guys just had to get physical...ugh. Your team is fast when it has to be - muct faster and trickier than I anticipated. Fun game to watch....except for the outcome. Please give us two points tonight at Lynah to keep good Central NY vibes going! I'd even take one point tonight; 'Gate is losing ground as the rest of the teams pass us...yikes.

Overall a fun, exiting game to watch; always a lot of energy at Starr for these games + the Cornell and Gate bands.

In answer to someone's question, Starr has one more season in it.

Gillam is at the top of all stats for goalies in the ECAC, so I know we will have trouble penetrating him if he plays. As I recall Cornell is known to traditionally be a great defensive team, so with Gillam in goal you should be all set. Charlie Finn made a few mistakes last weekend vs. Harvard and his numbers have suffered lately. When he's on his game he's great. It's up and down; still waiting for the consistency in net we thought we'd have this pre-season. Anyone coming to Starr tonight? If so, dress warmly; its blowing and drifting out there.

Sorry guys about starting this thread and hijacking your board, but I felt the annual rivalry between our teams deserved to be highlighted and commented on. Your last second win over hated Harvard resonated at Starr when the score was announced; I was there. Good for you guys! Our top line of the Spink twins and Kyle Baun is the one to watch and our most potent force. After that we have gaps in the lines - lots of shuffling around, Murphy will help on the second line...(I believe that's where he will be). Your B-H-B line looked very good in the few videos I've seen. Don't try to set me up with a pity party; I know these games are for blood and honor, and you guys are always good. Each team will be fired up by the fans at Starr (sold out) and Lynah on Sat. Should be two exciting games.

I don't see any threads here about this weekend's Colgate-Cornell games. WTH? Both teams have short benches with lots of players dinged up. What is the feeling of Cornell posters about these two games? I know you guys are huge - maybe the tallest team we'll face. If you beat us up, we'll be in bad shape for Saturday's game at Lynah. We have speed, but is it enough against a very good Big Red team? We get Darcy Murphy back after a 2-game DQ; that should help our offense. But missing Spiro Gulakos, Captain & our main D-man will continue to hamper the overall effort. What's the latest on your roster? Any key players coming back for tonight's game?
