Dartmouth @ Cornell 2/28/14

[RichH]

So I'm away from the internet for an evening and nothing on the board for a recap? I go to a box score to see that CU outshot them 30-14 in the 2nd & 3rd. Was that an accurate indication of the game? I'll just assume that we had "plenty of opportunities, but nobody could finish. stood on his head and the refs screwed us."  

Anything?

The refs didn't screw us.  Our finishers' shots weren't bad at all.   stood on his head.

I think we would win this game 9 times out of 10, but this was #10.  Dartmouth matches up with us very well but frankly I thought we destroyed them in all three zones.  Shit like this happens.  If we beat Hahvahd it's all just a footnote.

Can I just say how much hate I hold in my heart for Bob Gaudet?

the goalie made saves, but i think it was me we have a team that doesnt shoot very well.  easily 6-7 shots from inside 10 ft we hit the goalie.  in one flurry we had 75% of the net to shoot at and the goalie was on his face and we still hit him 2-3 times. we dont have any finishers and we missed our semi breakaway again.

Grant was very good, but we made it too easy on him with some point-blank shots directly into his chest.  As but one example Buckles came in all alone on a nice feed and the shot went directly at Grant, who hardly had to move.

It was one of the more frustrating games I've seen in a long time, in that we did just about everything right but score.  That, however, is our achilles heal as we all know.

I thought CU played well, especially in the second and third periods. CU was certainly the team that performed better in all facets of the game except scoring. Yes, it is the most important aspect, but I thought on most nights they get the two goals they need to win with the opportunities they created. the Dartmouth goalie played well and CU just couldn't finish. It is a shame to loose a game like that but it happens.

If CU plays like they did in the second and third periods then they will beat most opponents.

How many goals did they score in those 2 periods?

Nice job cherry picking! Well done!

Sorry, I guess I just don't understand. I thought that putting the puck in the net played an important part in the game. My bad.

Are you trying to be obtuse?

I clearly commented earlier in my original post about the lack of scoring. You chose to quote the last sentence of my post and tried to take it out of context as what I assume is a poor commentary on the team's lack of scoring last night. Hence, my cherry picking comment.

Don't feed the trolls. Some people don't understand distributions.

"If we play that way all the time we'll do well" means "statistically if we play that way we'll score more than our opponents."
