Hahvahd @ Cornell 01/27/17

from our seats it looked like it went just inside the post and hit some post and net.. it had a muted sound and it came out soft and a funny angle as well.. the ref looked confused then waived it off..

why it wasnt reviewed makes no sense at all. 2-1 late in the game and to not even take a look is pretty shocking to me

The ILDN feed made it look like it only caught net and boomeranged out.

watching the ildn replay it looks like what i saw live from section O..

the puck hits the inside of the post/net  deflected 2-3 inches hit the inside the net and the pops out.

slow mo  you can what looks it changes direction again right after it deflects off the post and it starts to flutter as it comes back out.

Someone at the game wanna explain why they didn't review that "goal" around 12 minutes into the 3rd? What happened there? Hard to tell on ILDN if it was even close.

By my estimation, we got screwed.

Schafer and the coaching staff must have seen more conclusively that it wasn't in, as they didn't look upset at all when play continued, nor did they ever try to get the refs' attention to ask for a review.

Best I can tell by looking right at it real-time from Section O, the face of the puck hit squarely with the inside of the pipe. It definitely got iron, so it's hard to argue that it completely crossed the line. Helluva shot, though, and it could've been a game-changer.

Great game until it wasn't. The defense was so disciplined that they held that team to 10 shots through 2 periods, and four of those "shots" we're basically half-ice clears Gillam had to "save." Frustrating 3rd to say the least.

When they came out like their butts were on fire in the first period we were all like, "Wow"! But, the general consensus was, "There's no way they can keep this up".
So, eventually in the third it goes, again, from aggressive fore and back checking to trying to stay in position and get a poke away or a rebound. The passes often miss their mark. The move up ice is slow and more pass/dump and less carry oriented. In a word, they look gassed.
Some more so than others. Vanderlaan and Angello, hang tough. But, it isn't enough and eventually the wheels come off.
The comment I hear over and over is that they just don't seem to have the stamina to keep it up for 60 minutes when faced with a tough opponent.
Is it a conditioning thing? Or, does a really good team just wear them down?

Too bad. I was starting to get hopeful about the Union game.
Now, can they rebound tonight against a really inferior Dartmouth squad??
Here's hoping.

when you watch it on ildn you see it change direction twice off the post. once goes left a few incges then left and down like it deflected off neting..  the other interesting part was that typically off a post the puck goes someplace when it deflects off the post. this one went down behind the goalie and fluttered.

postgame the coach said they didnt get a good look.

my issue would be it was obviously close, and the next delay was the ice cleaning delay which takes just about as long as a goal review anyway.. the refs got to together and talked too..

and it didnt ting like a post normally does, it was more a thunk sound like post and net at the same time..

[Hooking]

Was it depth or conditioning that ruined the evening?

I think Harvard played better in the 3rd, still they got a ton of energy off 2 goals that just funky deflections both that went in off our D.   then we pressed well down 2-1 and got what we thought was the goal to tie.  after that we really pressed up and they got one nice pass for a break away and the empty netter.

Even in the end, Harvard for 2 periods had 10 shots and half of them came from outside the blue line.  yhey are talented and if you give them space they will give you fits.

It did feel like we ran out of energy a bit late after 2 solid periods of effort.

[Hooking]

Still curious. Did the Cornell defense collapse on the net in the third period? Those deflections are often symptomatic.

[upprdeck]

one deflection  come from just inside the blue line and then deflected again on the way in.  the other came on a shot broken stick change up that was shot wide and went in of someone else.

Tonight's game is the more important game of the weekend. If we take care of business vs. teams that trail us in the standings, particularly Clarkson and Yale, the bye will be nigh.

I'd like to see us really take out our frustrations, via the scoreboard, on Gaudet and crew.

[upprdeck]

still 3 games in hand on harvard but we lose that tie break so beating Dart and colgate is a must to have a shot at getting ahead of them .
3 games in hand on Quin too so tonight and colgate helps there too and we have a 3 pt lead on them
2 games in hand on Clarkson too,  so again tonight and colgate and we have a 6 pt lead on them
1 game in hand on Yale so those 2 games and 5 pt lead on them.

thats for 4th place and not even catching harvard for3rd.

not all that crazy to get to 2nd, not sure catching union is happening without us almost running the table and them totally collapsing.

colg/cornell sweep tonight would be nice to see.
