I am amused that the announcers have at least twice talked about BU not liking to block shots.

Just saw this on Facebook...

Quote from: ugarteI don't see us making the pass for their second goal once if the season was 200 games.

I guess I am less impressed with that pass than most.

Yes, it was absolutely beautiful. But it was also incredibly lucky. I think it was more of a "throw the puck in that direction and hope someone is there" kind of play than an actual intended pass. 49 out of 50 times it doesn't connect. The 1 in 50 that it does, they look like gods.

I think this is completely wrong. The lane was open, Mack threaded the needle to Major, Major threaded it back to Mack, Mack was rewarded with an extremely high likelihood scoring opportunity, which he buried. I don't see where luck comes in, at all. It didn't deflect off anybody, just perfect tape-to-tape passes and great finish.

I may not have included enough of the original quote. The "their" was MSU. ugarte and I were referring to the blind behind the back pass that resulted in MSU's second goal.

Apologies for the confusion I caused.

Quote from: 617BigRedOkay 3-0 so far, so had to do it again...

Was wondering what took you so long...

Quote from: DafatoneMy favorite part was that the announcers kept gushing about MSU rolling four lines and winning late on conditioning, and then we outworked them with all four lines in the third.

And it was the fourth line that drew the penalty.

Perfect Screen Printers was who you had to go to to get a nameplate put on a gameworn jersey.

I wonder why they aren't selling the gameworn jerseys anymore.

They were selling them as recently as 2022...not sure about the last few years though:

I'm not sure the "garage sale" ever had actual gameworn jerseys. The gameworns used to be sold by a guy at Teagle, and you had to write to him to find out when he would put them on sale. These were not part of the athletics department garage sale. If anything did wind up in the garage sale, they were the leftovers from what the guy in Teagle sold.

Quote from: SnowballI was a lifeguard at Teagle in the 80s and I used to "watch over" that test. You wouldn't believe how many students flunked it.

I took the lifeguard qualification course at Teagle in the fall of 1982. Any chance you were in that course, Snowball?

Ah no. I was qualified before. But I worked at Teagle from about 1983-1985. Did you work there?

Nope. Never worked there.

I did lifeguard all the summers between freshman and senior year, based on having been certified at Teagle freshman year.

Quote from: upprdeckwould love to see a better replay as to how Quin got caught with so many guys in deep off the faceoff when you just want to protect the lead .

Schafer talked about making sure our guys knew that we needed to make a play, (and not just clear the puck out of our end.) He made a point of changing the standard penalty-kill mindset. Guessing Pecknold failed to do the equivalent mind-set change behind his bench.

Quote from: SnowballWho's going to give some color: what was the Lake Placid arena was like when Kovich scored that goal? Anyone? Multiple people?

You tell me and I'll close my eyes and pretend I was there.

It was absolutely amazing! The place went nuts. It was such an unlikely and unexpected goal. Since it was just after the penalty, the Cornell fans had become a hair subdued. It really was looking pretty bleak for the good guys. Schafer made a comment in the press conference about people kicking dirt on Cornell's grave. I'm not going to say we had all completely lost hope, but I'm an optimist and it was hard to be optimistic in the moments just before that goal.

What was also really sweet was that those of us in the Cornell section had an amazing view of the puck in the goal. We were basically on the goal line. I remember seeing the shot (which I thought was a pass) and the next thing I knew I could see the puck clearly across the goal line! So many times as fans we react to the players' celebration of the goal, as opposed to seeing the puck itself in the net, but this was one goal that we could clearly see across the goal line the same time the players did! It was exquisite.

The feeling at that moment is why we watch Cornell hockey and endure all the little disappointments along the way. That goal and that feeling cover all the losses 1000 times over!

As long as you only consider the little disappointments, I can agree with you.

I, for one, need a lot more to endure 2003.

Agreed but 1973 was at least 2003's equal.

No question.

I was in Buffalo in 2003 and can heartily agree.

I was in third grade in 1973.
