Cornell 1 Princeton 2

[Trotsky]

Two lessons learned tonight:

1. Don't lose focus against a good team, even for a minute.
2. When you outplay a team for 59 minutes, you should be ahead by more than 1 goal.

[quote lynah80]It looked like Seminoff fell down on the last Princeton rush.  Then on trying to clear the puck, Greening put it on the stick of Fedun and he just shot it in.  Scrivens had no time to react.

A strong effort for the team but a Very tough loss.  I think Locke Jillson played his best game of the season.

They'll shake it off and take it to Dartmouth next week.  Let's hope the team is much healthier.[/quote]

Excellent summary of the final play.  Princeton took advantage of the situation beautifully.

I also thought Jillson was excellent tonight. Showed a lot of speed.

Princeton picked-up their game in the last 10 minutes, and it translated into heartbreak for the Red.

About the 8 min mark I could see Princeton starting to put the pressure on and I was hoping the team was ready to respond to it. They were not.

Full fledged stomach punch loss right there. ::twitch::

Did anyone else get motion sickness from the camera work during that game, or was it just me? The third especially it seemed like they were having trouble following the puck. ::drunk::

Coming home from dinner at a friend's, I saw only the last nine-plus minutes of the game.  I'm not sure I saw a Cornell shot on goal during that time, and third period shots were 10-4 Princeton overall.  The last two minutes Princeton played hungry and we looked disinterested.

From Brandon Thomas's blog at the Ithaca Journal:

10:22 Fedun sent in Lohry after Krueger, the last defender, hit a rut and fell down

10:23  Lohry's shot rolled across the crease with Scrivens out of the play ... Greening on the backcheck swept the puck toward the boards, but inadvertently put it right on the stick of Fedun

[lynah80]

Seminoff fell down in the Princeton end along the half wall on the last play.  He was pinching in and was not back with Krueger when Fedun and Lohry skated into the Cornell end.  All 3 forwards (Greening, Nash, Barlow) were also pressing in the Princeton end and were not well positioned for the transition.  The Princeton rush was very fast.  It looked like Cornell wanted to end the game before OT and was taking some risks.

Yes, it was Krueger who fell down in the Cornell end.  Seminoff had fallen down a few seconds earlier in the Princeton end and was not able to get back on defense.
