UMass-Lowell 3 Cornell 2 (final)

[quote ebilmes]It was an incredibly stupid play, but I question whether it was right to pull Scrivens. He's found himself in plenty of similar situations in other games -- he falls down, or comes too far out of net -- and those easily could have led to a goal. This time the puck actually found its way into net.[/quote]
Maybe he hadn't learned the lesson because he has gotten away with it at other times.  This time he got burned and gets pulled so he can think about it.  Not that conservative is necessarily the right way to play but you do need to know the difference between aggressive and stupid.

Hopefully, it sticks, and it saves a more costly mistake in a conference or post-season game.
