I am pretty sure Fox and Hound (1501 Spruce St. in center city) will be able to show the game.  It's a great sports bar downtown near the theatres, and it's just a short walk from all the regional rail trains that come into Suburban Station along with the Walnut/Locust subway and the Patco train to NJ.  It also offers free wifi and a very good selection of draft beer - not just Miller/Coors etc. but also things like Newcastle, Sierra Nevada and Bass!

--- I'll post updates here when I find out more.

I don't know about every game, but certainly the second BSU goal was crap: Scrivens needs to stop those kinds of wrist shots from the top of the circle with no screen.

FWIW, that's where I started to lose hope.[/quote]

I haven't seen him play that many games... so I'm sure it doesn't happen every game.  But it sure seems like teams get 3-4 quality scoring chances on Cornell and score 2-3 goals, which is not good.  And I HAVE seen a number of losing box scores where Cornell substantially outshot the other team and lost.  Teams that play trapping, defensive styles need to have opportunistic scoring (think Kyle Knopp or the other really small guy we had on our Frozen Four team) and great goaltending.  We had neither this season, which is why things ended up the way they did.  

Also, one other thing that bothered me.  As soon as we scored I was thinking "please don't give up a goal on the inevitable Cornell post-goal letdown".  That is also not a good thing.  It seems every time we score we relax a little bit while the other team turns up the intensity.[/quote]

This definitely seems true to me.  I don't think the major problem with Cornell's team is related to physical strength or hockey skills such as passing and shooting.  There has to be some psychological component involved ... I am recalling the dreaded New Hampshire game in Buffalo from the Frozen Four and how the team looked like a squashed pound puppy for a few minutes after UNH scored the first goal.

Maybe in the off-season and in the early practices for the 2009-2010 season they will work on that all-important psychological skill of positive self-talk ... the ability to tell yourself that you are able to do what you're doing and that you have the ability to win.  If this is already part of the team's work, great!  It should just be re-emphasized then.

In any case, this was still a great, enjoyable season and I'm proud of the work the Big Red accomplished.  Let's Go RED !

How does the Krach math work?

Would the 70% win figure be calculated as the following:

210.4 / (83.81 + 210.4)

Let's Go RED ! ! !

OMG?  This could be awesome ! ! ! !

Possible copyright issue?

Justin.tv is amazing!

I second the poor ice conditions.  It seemed that every time the two zambonis drove around the ice, they would miss small slivers of ice and have to go back again to fix what they didn't get the first time around.

Let's hope the little strip of parking spots by the football field has some space left by the time I get there !  This frigid weather here in Albany is not conducive to long walks outside...

We should make a cheer loosely based on Sarah Palin's rhetoric (drill, baby, drill) .... Win baby Win !

Don't waste too much money on hotels!  Hotels in the Albany, NY area are only really expensive during the summer horse racing season... the rest of the year bargains can be had easily.

It's probably possible to get a hotel in the neighborhood of $50-60 for a 2 1/2 or 3 star on Priceline.com (however, getting a hotel this way eliminates earning airline reward credits, which may be a consideration for some).

What an awesome game!  Post-game beers at Triumph == very cool!

Getting lost on back roads around Princeton and almost winding up in New Brunswick instead of I-295 South towards Philadelphia == NOT cute...

At a Starbucks in Haddonfield, NJ now... heading up 295 to Princeton in a little while to catch the game

Let's Go Red ! ! !

Cornell needs to use this loss to motivate themselves for their upcoming games in January, which are quite important for their ECAC standings.  The longer a winning streak, the more interested opponents are in spoiling the streak and other psychological matters come into play.  With this loss, the Cornell Big Red could think of January as a clean slate, and they can go out and skate well and pull that inner drive out they'll need to be victorious towards the end of the winter months.
