Brown @ Cornell, 11/19/2022

Brown gets a SHG.

I'll be honest. I don't see what Schafer sees in Keopple.

Shane isn't great, but he's a hell of a lot better...

Alright, I'll eat my words. Keopple looked good. (a lot better than he did in the exhibitions.)

It's more fun to look at the saves and goals in context.

Not having a bona fide number one line is fine but they're getting little out of Berard, Stienburg, Malone, Ondrej. The returning scorers. That needs to improve.

They've all been contributing in ways that aren't showing on the scoreboard, so I wouldn't be too worried.  They're in the mix, they're taking shots, the points will come.

True. They were all more visible last night. Berard in particular.

Agreed on Berard. Malinski even made a few "Malinski passes," i.e. passes from the point heading just wide of the net directed at a player on the backdoor side with his stick on the ice.

Bancroft's behind the back pass was creativity that I haven't seen in some time. If they're blocking all the typical ways of getting it to the front of the net, why not?

Bancroft sure has a lot of creativity in his game, and has a real knack for setting up guys in prime scoring position. Easy to see how he piled up points in junior.

Bancroft is impressive. Like the way Malinski was doing the dance along the blue line thing on the pp. Shows confidence.  Adam Foxian.

I noticed him use that same crazy move he used the weekend prior- where he comes down the left, enters the zone, turns his torso and (right handed) stick to the right as if he's making a sharp turn or lateral pass, but then passes the puck from behind himself *forwards* between his feet and into his left skate, and finishes the  move by kicking it out in front to his stick.

He was too close to the goal to get off a clean shot this time, but I'm willing to bet $20 that he scores off that move sooner or later and locks in a guaranteed ESPN top-10 play.
