Avash-
You are totally right.  Keeping the other team from scoring is the job of the whole defense.  Mckee was shakey at the begining, but he got it together really fast for a freshman goalie.  The defense as taken a mighty loss [Bell, Murray & McRae, three steafast preformers] and has much to learn, but they have good talent that will hopefully come together.
Those of you who are trashing McKee's preformance, give him a break.  He has made a mighty leap in the last few months and we should be priviliged to have him.
On the same note, lets give Marr a second chance, perhaps against Princeton this weekend.  Just like McKee, he had a rough first preformance.  A second ECAC game early in the season will allow to him get his mind back in the game without going up a team like a hahvard .

Well, it is possible to win a lot of high scoring games.  You need to have a high scoring team, with speed and offensive talent.  You also probably need a system that encourages offense.  Naturally our recent record in high scoring (4 or more goals for both team) games will be relatively poor or at least mediocre because Cornell plays a system that is not conducive to high scoring games.

I'll go out on a limb and say that as long as Schafer is the coach when Cornell plays a lot of high scoring games the results will not be very good.

Keep in mind also that, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we currently have the worst power play in the country right now?  We had plenty of opportunities to win both games with the penalties WMU took, but couldn't convert.  If someone has the figures on-hand feel free to post them (and the PK #'s too).

Well, UConn is 1 for 23 on the PP and is twice as likely to allow a SHG as score a PPG on the PP. Can't imagine we are worse than that....

I don't think that's really going out on a limb all that much.  B-]

Oh, it's a limb.  Just a very thick, sturdy one :-D

Well, as long as Schafer is the coach, Cornell will not play many high scoring games.
