Is the Cleary Cup "shared?" Cornell Sports seems to think we won it, so sharing it would be the only way the following is correct:

"Cornell Men's Hockey locked up its second straight Cleary Cup with a 2-2 tie at Clarkson."

I answered my own question. As per Wikipedia, it is shared:

Oh, that's nice to know.

One more banner at Lynah, I guess.

I don't think we hang banners for that in Lynah. The "ECAC Champions" banners you see are for years where Cornell wins the ECAC Championship.

Certainly not on the front page of tbrw, and Age hasn't updated that box in this forum in years.

Chalk in the first round would also mean we're the recipients of the Union shit sandwich in the second round.

I saw someone post this week saying it would be good to avoid Brown, and I tend to agree. Yes, Union is also strong. But Brown looks like they're finding something in a similar way Princeton did last year. Maybe we had a letdown in Providence, but give them a little credit for scoring 3x to tie a game in 1 minute...that's just impressive no matter who you are.

Hmm fair enough! God, I haven't been physically in Lynah in way too long...

Oh, if I got to choose who we'd play, I'd go for (in order) SLU, Princeton, Colgate, Dartmouth, RPI, Yale, Brown, Union.

I was also really impressed with Brown this year; it's all a land of "be careful what you wish for."

it's fine

That's been me. It's so bewildering to see a hot Brown team that I'm scared of it. Plus, while Union's very good, at least playing them will be good for our RPI. Brown, we face a tough team that isn't going to help us in RPI as much.

In addition to Barron failing to clear the puck on the tying goal, Schafer's postgame comments also suggest he made a mistake by going down to block an ensuing shot:

"The guys up top are supposed to be blocking shots. The guys underneath aren't, [and] we didn't pick guys up," Schafer said, adding that the winning goal resembled a drill Cornell often runs in practice. "The puck came down, hit someone and landed right on their kid's stick."

Highlights

Cornell lost the vast majority of "50-50" battles in this game. I have a hard time believing Clarkson was competing harder, so I guess it was injuries/exhaustion? As has mostly been the case lately, Galajda was solid.

I don't know, Barron got his glove on the puck. There were 2 Clarkson players down low, Betts had his player covered well, but Smith coming back was more interested in the shooter in the high slot, than the Clarkson player down low. The goal scorer was completely uncovered. I think that was the major defensive mistake on the goal.
