Russian Red Stars

Hopefully CU will announce and email all ticket holders.

Just called the ticket office.
They say the game is a Go.

Thanks, I'm leaving before 5, so it's nice to know. Amazing what a little communication can do.:-D

Loving the Russian flag. Did they do the anthem?

[Trotsky]

Yes, they had a recording of the anthem.

Paging Ryan Coon, Holden Anderson, Eric Sade and Craig Esposito; white courtesy telephone please.

And indeed, it appears we are going to see all of them.  Esposito scored a goal and got a huge hometown hand.

I love that the team captains had a gift exchange before the match... kind of like how little pennants are traditionally exchanged before an international soccer match. Kirill Gotovets was, understandably as a Russian speaker, getting lots of attention from some Red Stars after the game, which was interesting to see. The team took full advantage of their size and physicality tonight and really dominated all facets of the game. I think it bodes pretty well for the return to league play. Also great to see the local boy getting his first collegiate goal.

Yes, they had a recording of the anthem.

And it was the right version.

Borat Theme Played Instead Of Kazakstan National Anthem At Kuwaiti Sporting Even

The Red Stars looked like a young and rather  small team,   they could skate, but as this was the last game of a long tour - and they had  bus  problems  getting here -  the kids looked really exhausted.   Final shots on goal were 52-22 for us -  
The Cornell team  seemed  to let up a bit in the third period after it was already  6-0 at end of 2 periods.

I would like to see a rematch when the Red Stars are fresh. It was a fun game and they showed talent in spurts, but there was a major case of bus legs and general road weariness out there.

It would be interesting to have the Russian team talk about all the schools they played. Maybe it was fatigue, I don't know, but they were outshot by Harvard, outshot Yale, and were pretty even with Colgate. And yet they lost all the games. I wonder how much practice as a team they had, especially on PP and PK. But even if they were tired tonight, we were still a much better team.

And as Age said in between periods, "How did Colgate almost lose to them?" And then to go on and put Minny in their own consolation game.::screwy::

Let's not also forget that we sat our #1 goalie (Iles), half our defense (Ryan, Willcox, Lewis), our captain (JMcCarron), and another regular forward (Knisley). Dustin Mowrey didn't play in the third, anyone have any idea why? We don't need another injury.

Good luck Arthur!

Thanks, but I don't need luck.

Thanks, but I don't need luck.

And you did a great job.
