Mercyhurst 5 Cornell 4

[ugarte]

Big and slow is no way to go.  Cornell's slide into obscurity continues.

I would found an institution where obvious troll is obvious.

They were in behind our defensemen the entire game.  How long did it take them score the tying goal---3 seconds after the faceoff?  The D looked like statues on that play.  I guess the party line this year is "Isles sucks."

Also, way to keep up with the times with a witty retort such as "obvious X is obvious."  The last time I saw that used Cornell's style of play was still relevant.  What's next, an "Oh, snap?"  Is this the mid-90's?  Do you post your messages using the Cello web browser?

Your comedy critique is less trenchant than your game analysis.

Probably best not to feed trolls.

Not a great first game, but there's no reason to panic. We've lost our share of 'cupcake' games to start the season. (Holy Cross for example)

Still, Schafer was unhappy with the effort put forth and he makes a fair point. Two goals off faceoffs is a lot. If a pattern emerges then we ought to be concerned. The Journal's wrap up for those who haven't had a chance to read it yet.

I felt like the 2 problems in the loss were that Andy let in 2 soft goals (1 of which was off the faceoff) and the D wasn't picking up their man. Not using the body to the advantage (umm hey kid, you're 6-3 220, he's 5-9 175, take his candy!) was something they didn't do in pre-season either.
That said, they controlled play for long periods of time, passed well, and generally worked they cycle and the Schafer breakout reasonably well. This team has bought into the system, they just need to execute better. Good showing by the freshman, and erase a couple of soft goals, and we are slapping each other's backs.
Iles is a very good young goaltender. I'm sure hell be able to turn it around.

Quoting SAT words might have been good enough to get you into Cornell, but in the real world it doesn't mean shit.

I don't think you know how the SAT works, much less the real world.
