Cornell 4 Brown 2, 1/31/26

[VIEWfromK]

I am very pleased with their effort this weekend.  There was a big difference in skill set between them and their opponents but they just went about their business without incident.

The freshmen continue to be the story.  DiGiulian gets his goals in chunks.  Imagine when he figures out how to get to more consistency as his game continues to mature.  He has had a terrific nose for the net.

How many of Veilleux's goals have come in near the dots?

Long has showed a nice ability to finish since he got going.

So much depth to fawn over.

I can't even GET the stream going 😂

People, nobody had an obvious urologist reply? We're slipping.

I think nobody wanted the inevitable colonoscopy reply.

given the ages of almost everyone on the forum i think it's too sensitive a topic

The freshmen continue to be the story. 

Yes, and would we have gotten this freshman class if Casey hadn't come on as associate coach last year? And would that smooth transition had happened if Cornell didn't have such a strong legacy? How many coaches would have given up a head coaching job for a year? We are reaping the rewards of decades of consistent hard work, strong community support, and having the gift of two head coaches who worked well together and have embraced the vision.

Instead—how about XV ripping another power-play bomb?

He needs to wear 15.

I claim "first."

I bow and take a seat on the derivative bench next to Trotsky.

Alexis committed the kind of hockey sin that would have really "ticked off" Schafer... words that would send shivers down your spine.

Totally agree. I would've paid good money to be leaning over Casey's shoulder when Alexis decided to go full goalie-goal hero. We'll probably never know... unless, of course, Keopple shows up in net Friday for Colgate.

If you're ever going to do it, up 3 goals is the time

i said what i said. you can't live in fear.

[Trotsky]

Everyone lives in fear.  The trick is not minding it.

I agree we live in fear.

I mind fear.

I think the trick is managing it.

That was exactly the game I was thinking of. I remember it all too well — watching on ESPN about an hour behind, feeling great after Andreev's third-period goal made it 4–0. Then I realized the game was still going in real time, wtf! I was hoping it was an ESPN issue, but no. Clarkson scored four straight and won it in the shootout.

Cournoyer is awesome — no question — and he's been getting better every game. But his body language said everything when that behind-the-net shot died on the Brown defender's chest and he had to scramble back into position.

Yeah, imagine what it was like in person.

That's permanently imprinted in my brain.

Just like a playoff 0-0 tie at Clarkson 35+ years ago. Yes, a playoff tie.

1989

Clarkson was 4 and we were 5. So played at the old Walker Arena.

I believe it was 2 points for a win & 1 each for a tie and I believe no OT.
If needed, the third game being a 10 minute game immediately after the second game.
We won the first 5-3 (Thanks TBRW, since I couldn't remember date or score)

Second game was 0-0 in the third period. I don't remember how soon, but Clarkson pulled their goalie in the tie game, because they'd lose the round if they tied. Fortunately they  didn't score and we advanced with a tie game.

Strange indeed!

There are a few of those games that are permanently ground into my brain.

It's amazing how many were against Clarkson, eg. 1970 ECAC & NCAA Finals with BU in second place for memories.

[Snowball]

Yeah, imagine what it was like in person.

Absolutely devastating.

That said, Big Red fans also have plenty of great moments from that season etched into our brains. That season alone gave us the sweep of North Dakota and the two wins over Q-Pak.

Thanks for the story, Jim.
