Mugs looking good tonight, and he's keeping outta the box.

Solid second. Not as energetic as the first. Nice to get another goal in the third and keep Union in check as well. Also not to take the bait in case Union gets frustrated and starts elbowing.

End of 2.

Elsewhere, Gametracker has SLU 4 - Yale 1

Yale just showed it is possible to score on 5x3, it's 4-2.

Scott scores on a 3 on 2 break, fakes a pass, never passes,goes R to L, shoots and scores. Assist Seminoff.

SCOTT!!

Sawada on a semi breakaway. Makes it 1x7 for Cornell on PPs, 7x7 on PKs.
Assist Bitz.

Holy shit. A power play goal.

Al DeFlorio · December 02, 2006, 08:54:26 PM

So, Greg, when was the last time we scored eight "unanswered" (also known as "straight") goals?

billhoward · December 02, 2006, 08:56:06 PM

Let's see if Cornell can close it out by staying aggressive on attack. Go into a defensive shell to protect the lead and Union can chip away at the lead. Union gets its 8th PP opportunity. Even a blind squirrel finds a few nuts.

Chris 02 · December 02, 2006, 08:57:16 PM

Wow 5-0. I would say the team could have done this last night, but I think Union is a different team than RPI.

"Unanswered goal" is more PC, less homophobic.

We had seven straight unanswered goals 3 (4?) years ago at Princeton, the Ryan Vesce 7 point, 7-0 blowout, plus whatever we got in the game before or after.

1/7 - 1/13/06

Final 2 goals of a 3-1 win over RIT, and then a 6-0 win against Princeton.

Prior to that, Cornell had 10 unanswered goals against SLU (third period tying goal and overtime winner), Clarkson (3-0), and Clarkson (5-0) on 3/25 - 4/11/05. Those were the games immediately prior to Clarkson's comeback upset QF win.

What Clarkson comeback? It never happened.
