Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but from an MSG Network press release:

"Cornell, which is expected to wear camouflage jerseys during the second period of Saturday's game in support of The Wounded Warrior Project..."

Should be pretty interesting. Red camo or regular camo?

Agreed. This team didn't show up for the biggest game of the year. We'll learn a lot about their character tonight, against a team with absolutely nothing to play for other than spoiler.

Didn't discourage me from heading down today, just have to get a bit of an earlier start. Hope there's still a good sized crowd like last night.

Am I reading it right that a "playoff pass" will give me access to both games today?

What happens if Yale wins tomorrow? Would that help us?

So, naturally, Yale loses. Let's just take care of business in AC next weekend and not worry about the PWR.

On that note, and I know this doesn't belong in this thread, but does anyone know if the athetics department gets a ticket allotment? I'd like to make the trip down to AC from NYC next weekend, but can only make the Saturday session. Before I buy on ticketmaster, I thought I'd see if CU had a particular section.

Regardless of series length, opposing hockey teams only shake hands after the series is decided.

From my vantage point in 209 (CU zone), the whistle blew before the puck came down. I guess I was one of the only people to see that it was in the air. At the time I was screaming that the puck was in, but no one seemed to agree until Millan moved away. The whole time they were reviewing it I had the sickening feeling that it would come down to the whistle blowing while the puck was in the air.

Haven't been able to see a game in almost a year, and I won't even pretend to know the line combinations, but tonight we absolutely dominated play for the last 43 minutes of regulation. At no point was I worried about a second BU goal. It was as though the team realized they could skate and hit with BU (after 17 minutes of getting outskated and outhit), and once they turned it on, there was almost constant offensive pressure. Unfortunately, this team suffers from the same sickness as the Rangers I've watched many times at the Garden this year: the need for the extra pass. I have no doubt that with some more SOGs, a rebound would have been there for the tying or go ahead goal on a number of occasions.

The refs were abysmal. I can only remember one or two games I have ever blamed the refs for a loss, and this has to be one of them. The obstruction/interference call was ridiculous. It was strictly a call so that the refs could maintain control. I understand needing to take charge and not let the game get out of hand, I've been in that position as an official before. But there is no excuse for calling a penalty on first player contact when it's already a power play. The fact that it ended up being the difference in the game just makes it worse. The embellishment, a classic case of an unsure ref evening things out. The fact that they missed two hookings, a contact to the head/roughing (does forcing a mask off not count all of a sudden?), a holding the stick, and a tripping penalty didn't help. Maybe the Red should have embellished the infractions more to help them out...

Frankly, having not seen a game this year before tonight, I was impressed. This team, with better passing (geez, I know the Garden ice sucks, but how many times can you lose possession of the puck with no pressure) and more shots on goal, can certainly make some noise in the NCAAs if given the chance. Can't wait to catch them at Princeton in a couple of months.

I just got off the phone with them as well. At the moment they are "still unclear whether demand will require a lottery." Not sure how that will be determined, but they will be on sale at some point tomorrow. I was also told they have 116 and 118, not sure what happened with 117.

For those going, which hotels do you plan to stay at? I've never been to Albany so I'm not really sure where to start looking.

Same here. But they felt bad so they gave me 3 months of HBO+Cinemax free. Not a completely wasted effort, I guess.

Same here, no audio. There was some for about 10 seconds a few minutes ago, so hopefully they're working on the problem.

It's up on the B2 site now www.b2tv.com

It looks like you can still only purchase the entire tournament for $20. Does anyone have experience with this and know if before the game there will be an option to purchase the championship game individually?

He has the perfect facial expression for someone who just scored an own-goal in the photo accompanying the article.

They're not wrong, they are from the womens team. 3 years ago the team was switching the company that provided jerseys, and the swim team took the old ones. In fact, now that I look at it more closely, that photo is three years old.

Topher started and recorded an assist on a PP Goal in hist first game with the Jackals. Can't say I'm surprised at all.
