Cornell 2 Brown 5 postgame thread

[The Rancor]

cornell's passing sucks. they need to make more crisp, accurate passes.
this includes stick handling, which is weak, too. Brown won on some wonderful individual efforts by a pair of forwards and their freshman goalie. they never backed down as a team. the power play would be better if we could make more than 2-3 passes before running into an opposing player's stick. And for god's sake pinch the boards and keep the puck in the zone so we don't have to reset the PP every 15 seconds!!

Milo isn't playing for some reason while Barlow has been missing since the last weekend before exams.  [/quote]

Barlow missing?  I'm pretty sure I saw him all over the ice this weekend, in many cases failing to convert on some decent offensive efforts.  Did you mean to say Evan S.?

I meant he is doing nothing.

The team is certainly smaller than in previous years but we still have some size as Townie points out.  Could it be that the ckloser enforcement of penalties this season has left some of the guys afraid to play the physical game?  Or maybe with a crowd of younger faster guys the team mindset has moved away from playing that style?  The team definitely has a different personality this season and we'v yet to see how it will play out (over the rest of this season and the next couple).

[quote ithacat]What happened to Goalie U?[/quote]We got too good at producing gaudy goaltending stats that guys left early.  And we're stuck in between with what are probably a couple journeyman goalies right now.

[quote plrd78]You are 100% correct. Scrivens was horrible 3/5 goals were his fault. He never moved out only back. Isn't the goalie stick supposed to be used for something, like poke checks etc....

Not to say Scrivens was good because he definitely could have done much better, but all 4 goals he let in were because of defensive breakdowns that caused odd-man rushes. The 5th goal was an empty netter.

Well, the first goal was a 1 on 4, so I think he let down because he expected SOMEBODY would do something.  I think they may be afraid of taking penalties, too.  

Other than that, they were all odd man ruishes in Brown's favor.  One of the goals was a two on one and it looked like between the goalie and the d-man, they weren't sure who had what responsibility.  Does the d-man play the puck carrier or the pass?  It looked like they both went for the same man.  A fundamental mistake for a goalie.  Makes me wonder if Scrivens it getting taught fundamentals in practice (or if he needs more of that).

The convention is that the goalie always plays shot, and the d-man always plays pass.

Greening looks as strong on his skates as anyone on this team or opposing teams at Lynah this year.  Maybe you don't see it because he is not as prone to taking runs at people as Sawada is, but this guy keeps his feet in the corners, and in traffic, and can be as physical as anyone out there.  He looks like Hynes.

In that case, the d-man screwed up.  He should have let the puck carrier have the shot and let the goalie try to stop it, right?

More or less. You cut off as much angle on the shot as you can while still blocking the possiblity of a pass. Then the goalie should stay square to the remaining angle the shooter has to shoot from.
