That's an exaggeration. Not looking like shit is imperative; a win is important; a decisive win would be nice.

Cornell did not play there type of game all night not in the first ,second or third.That type of run and gun ,put it all on net will not work.We need to have better puck controle and slow the game down.

I too was very disappointed with the outcome of the game especially considering how well they played in the 1st period. Even after the 2nd period, and being down a goal, I thought we were still very much in the game.

The defensive lapses (and penalties) really hurt. Solid defense is our bread and butter and as past seasons have shown, our D needs both the defensemen and the goalie.

When we got the puck in UND's zone, I thought the offense did a fine job moving the puck and getting quality shots on goal.

What were the defensive pairings last night? In the first period it seemed like Mike Devin was paired with Krueger, but later it seemed like Devin and B. Nash were paired up. I don't think the latter is a good combination.

I hope our guys come back strong tonight and put "Be disciplined" (with respect to penalties and covering their man) at the top of the tonight's to do list.

For those that bought the FSSN internet video feed, is it worth the $9.95? Or should I just listen to Cornell's audio feed? The latter might be better if we get the same defensive effort tonight.

LGR!

I'd say Davenport. Although the D was on Thanksgiving break all night, Scrivens included. Hope for a better show tonight.

I used it last night, and plan on using it again tonight, so for $5.00 per game I'd say it was well worth it. There was some stuttering, but it wasn't a big deal, and it was usually only the video that would pause, while we still got play by play audio. There's a thread about the quality of the broadcast, and the (minor) problems we experienced last night.

It really sticks in my craw when the ref standing right next to the play and watching it doesn't call anything, but the penalty comes from a ref halfway down the ice.  [/quote]

Often times the plays that happen right infront of an official are the hardest to call. when you are close to the play, as an official you have to be much more aware of where your feet are, where all the players are, where the puck is, and most of all, where the player/puck is going. it also, simply do to the geometry of a humans field of vision, being close to the play makes it much more difficult to see everything.

All that being said, I didn't see the play or the officials position with respect to the play

I didn't want to start an other ECAC thread since I can't keep it up, but Princeton losing (not loosing :))to Mercyhurst 4-0 and Conn over Brown 3-0.

Princeton tied it up in the third with 2 extra attacker goals, only to fall 6-4 with 2 M'hurst goals in the last 2 minutes.
