Have to put up this plug from the article.

QuoteSean Whitney didn't choose Cornell simply because he liked the band, though.

Of course they also have a headline "Cornell wins regional with goal in final moments." So which is it?

[quote marty][quote jtwcornell91]So, to summarize, Yale pulled a Clarkson and Princeton pulled a Harvard.  Now I guess it's up for us to pull a Cornell, i.e., fall behind to Northeastern, come back and win it, then take Notre Dame to overtime before losing.[/quote]

Quite a prediction!::burnout::[/quote]Yeah, but it's wrong.

[quote BCrespi]Is this an impostor Jim?[/quote]How could you think that? Candy and all.

[quote Jeff Hopkins '82][quote Jim Hyla][quote Trotsky]So. How about 1 in DC?[/quote]I'll go for that.[/quote]

At this rate, I'd be reasonably content for 1 playing tomorrow night.::innocent::[/quote]I'll go for that, too.

[quote CTUCK1] Coach Schafer pulling his head out of his ass [/quote]Give me a break.What an extrodinarily helpful observation.::rolleyes::

[quote Al DeFlorio][quote JimHyla]The problem is, Tech can't drop out of second, so don't have as much to lose by losing. We have to hope they are mad about Princeton and don't want to end up with two home losses.[/quote]
The Clarkson-Q game is at a sold-out TD BankNorth, not Cheel.  On ESPNU at 8pm tonight.[/quote]My bad.

Assumming we win, we need Dartmouth or Q to lose. If Q wins they get the tiebreaker with us ( top 4 ), so D must lose. If Q loses we jump ahead of them, regardless of D.

If we lose, we need Q to lose, regardless of D and the others. I think.

If we both tie, Q gets it regardless of what D does.

So the most important thing is for Q to lose.

Go Tech
Go Red
Go gate

The problem is, Tech can't drop out of second, so don't have as much to lose by losing. We have to hope they are mad about Princeton and don't want to end up with two home losses. They might still get an at large bid without winning the ECAC's? I didn't run those options, but hopefully they think that way.

Well, now that I've woken up, I drove back after the game, and donated blood, which I hope all of you do regularly, a few comments, all of which agree with Al. :-)

Schafer is a great coach, duh. Where are all of those who used to complain about those 1-0, 2-1 wins. He built this school around defense, but he certainly knows how to win with offense. The difference between this team and those mid 90's ECAC Champions is incredible. Do you remember getting a lead and then trying to hold on by playing defense for the rest of the game? We still toss the puck in and bang the boards, but the ability to circle back to our defensive end and carry the puck in is light-years ahead of past teams. Although I always enjoyed the beauty of the defensive play, watching this team is alot of fun.

The problem I have is still not feeling secure that they will finally score that go ahead goal. :-/ I'd actually become more secure in watching us defend, even against superior offensive teams.  Hopefully I can learn to accept this. Even greater hope is that we can regain some of the old defense. Maybe we used to make the same defensive mistakes, but never got caught, but now I have a sense of worry at times.

Here's hoping we beat D'mth so coach doesn't have a losing record against any ECAC team. If we can combine old defense and new offense, well... (Who knows a smiley for dreaming?)

[Q2]They didn't salute in the corner, they were at the center and facing the students.[/Q]

(and do ovals have corners?  ...sorry...i'm just happy it's friday...)LFS[/q]No, they don't. If you ever needed confirmation of that just talk to someone old enough B-] to remember the old Boston Arena. It really was more oval shaped, with the boards turning well before the goal line. Because of that it played alot differently, and we would have had to change our board style accordingly.
