Hope he changes up the lines for Saturday.  Didn't like the Bitz nor the Scott lines.

Which Davenport was that?[/quote]

Troy--he was excellent, but gave up a few too many juicy rebounds[/quote]

He was very solid overall. He needs to work on his stick skills when clearing. He did save 2 goals on one sequence when the score was 2-1 -- the second one from his knees. He should have had a shutout. That puck should have been cleared.

Was glad they took Carefoot after the point on the powerplay mid-way through the game - he was brutal there.  Davenport was good.  Thought the D was better than expected while I thought the wingers were pretty bad in the defensive zone.  Would rather see these lines:

Milo-Bitz-McCutcheon
Barlow-Gallagher-Carefoot
Greening-Kennedy-Scott
Mugford-Fontas-Sawada

I was really impressed with Davenport tonight - he seemed to have a good eye for the puck, and he stayed really relaxed the whole time, except that shot by Krantz that Troy caught between his knees. Almost gave both of us a heart attack, but he was quick to his knees.

I completely agree.

It was brutal.  Half the new seats behind the scoreboard were empty and section O was barely half-full.  There are still a couple dozen student season tickets that haven't been sold as well.  There were several empty seats in B.

I thought there were more people at the York game.

Were there any prelims tonight?  Thursday, late October. . . ?

[Omie]

Yes there were prelims plus also there were people in the Bailey Hall opening ceremony.

I thought Davenport looked good in goal. He made an amazing two save sequence when we were 2-1 but the goal he let in was def a softie too. Do you guys think Schafer will start him or Scrivens against RIT?

[ebilmes]

Yeah, most Math classes had prelims tonight. I got there for the last two minutes of the game (happened to be two Cornell goals). At least one person got kicked out of B for swearing. Townie sections were pretty empty, and it's obvious that there are lots of student season tickets left.

I think he'll go with Scrivens to give him a shot early in the year.  I do, however, think Davenport will be the number one when all is said and done.

You must be mistaken, as was I watching on the Webcast. Attendance was a Cornell all-time record, 4004,according to Cornell's ministry of sports information. You can look it up in the official box score: http://cornellbigred.cstv.com/sports/m-hockey/stats/2006-2007/cumih01.html

So that's about 95% capacity. Since Cornell seems to count tickets sold that means there's a couple of hundred seats available and 400 people on the waiting list. Hmmm...

Did Fontas play tonight?  I don't remember hearing his name in the broadcast, and I was looking forward to seeing him play.
