Union at Cornell post-game

[quote BMac]That game sucked. We would have been in second place with a win. [/quote]

Nice try, we would have stayed in fourth, albeit 1 point from second.

Just received an email from ICS in response to my requests for help during last night's Union web cast.  Don'cha just love that last sentence:::doh::

"I am deeply sorry for any issue that you may have encountered during our broadcasts last night.  Cornell was encountering some issues with their bandwidth (internet connection speed) on their end and was unable to stream the game at a continues quality. I assure you that this is not a common occurrence and that Cornell broadcasts usually work flawlessly."

FWIW, after the first weekend's Redcast problems, this season has been much better and more reliable than any since I started watching with I3 back in 2003 (4?).  I didn't have the privilege of watching any games through LynahCam, though.

The lack of Cornell defense when up 2-0 especially that giveaway/pass from Krueger(?) was a bitch, but I have to give Union credit for their D.

This is the third time I have seen them this year and they sure as hell were all over Cornell in the third.  Granted that some of that hanging on could've and should've been called but they reminded me of Cornell's D when they have smothered opponents.

What the hell happened last night at Starr?  Was all the gas let out of the Onion?

From the Saturday Ithaca Journal:

"It was one of the worst defensive games we've played in our own zone in quite some time," Cornell coach Mike Schafer said. "But give them credit. They made some good plays and we didn't respond to their intensity."

Entering the season, Cornell was 106-1-7 in games it led after two periods since the 2000-01 season. So far this season, it has a 9-2-1 record in such a scenario.

I guess that explains Mike's decision to start 8 defensemen on Saturday night.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him do the same thing against Quinnipiac, a fast team that averages more than 3 goals per game.  A big question for next weekend though is Evan Barlow.  Why did he sit out the RPI game?

It was posted that Barlow was a healthy scratch, and since Schafer mentioned his late misconduct penalty in the Union game, that was probably the reason.

He skated 8 defensemen since he didn't have enough forwards.

Who would've thought that 1 loss came in '02-'03, a season in which they went 30-5-1? Down in Florida, with LeNeveu playing with Team Canada, Todd Marr and the Big Red had a 1-0 lead going into the third against Maine and eventually lost 3-2.

Those numbers are pretty gaudy, one loss in 7 seasons. No wonder these kids want a change, they've seen twice as many this year. ;-)
