Not a goal?

[css228]

The ice is a legitimate point, because while BU was better, I still wouldn't say their passing was good.

Full stop. Unless you're arguing that the ice was crappier in one direction than the other, and that this crappiness magically reversed for the second period, my point was that both teams had to deal with the same conditions. BU handled the level playing field better. As a result, I think any bitching and moaning about it amounts to making excuses for Cornell not playing as well as BU.

What is so difficult to admit about this? BU played better. Period. Learn from it, practice more effectively, and get better. That's what I hope the coaching staff is doing, rather than complaining about the uphill ice, the unseasonably warm weather wreaking havoc with players' psyches, or invisible vampires with a love of Canadian blood.

I think that was the exact point I was making. The their refers to BU's passing, as in "Yes, BU's passing was better, but BU's passing still wasn't good". The ice was bad, but it affected both teams, and even if we were coming out of this saying the Red's passing was good, there's no reason to not want it to get even better anyway. However. I will disagree that BU outplayed Cornell. I think that the two teams were evenly matched (BU dominating the 1st and the OT, Cornell dominating the second, and having a slight edge in the 3rd) and the game turned on some absolutely incredible saves by Millan and a nice redirect of a shot that wasn't going to go on net. We'll have to get better if we want to consistently beat BU, but an effort like that in ten games against BU would probably end up close to a .500 record.

For once I agree with you.:-D

Kyle, while I mostly agree with the rest of your post, it's the use of rhetorical devices like this that inhibit getting invited to parties...  ;-)

Don't worry. Kyle thinks all parties are equally corrupt.
