Cornell 2 Brown 5

[Trotsky]

Cornell successfully kills off the second period, which was basically one long Brown powerplay.  Great job on faceoffs tonight: Kennedy and Scott are 17-5, and Kennedy won many important draws down the stretch.

One Cornell pp in the second and it was a return to bad habits.  Also, as good as the kill was, Brown was getting a lot of good chances.  The last couple minutes Cornell started to jump a bit and drew the penalty, so they start the third up a man.

Carefoot had a very good shift midway through the period and generally looked better.  Topher also reappeared.  Decent enough period, although we are in the box an awful lot.

The windows media player title says "women's basketball vs. yale", but I think I hear hockey.

Edit: Nevermind this is something else.  I just changed the date on the web address from some of the future Brown hockey broadcasts.

Why is coach in the press box?

Because business class is on the bench?

Not healing from a surgery.  Doctor's orders.

He's "weak" from December surgery.  I suspect he's feeling even weaker now.

Because he's recovering from a December surgery.  Affereffects seem to still be bothering him.

Now 5-4-2 at Lynah.  Losses to Wayne State, Dartmouth, Sacred Heart, Brown.  4-7-3 since the come-from-behind Harvard win on CSTV.

5th tie in the Lame-Out since the last loss in 1990.  Of interest in the closing credits: look for another free RPI webcast for the "Whiteout" vs. Cornell.

Ok.  You can fix the thread now.  I just got home and saw that you have the score with Brown beating Cornell 5-2.  :-P

I wish him "gute Besserung" as we say in Germany.  There's no such thing as a simple surgery.

On the other hand, are Scott, Carefoot and Kennedy even out there? :-/[/quote]

We should realize that these three might not be playing at 100% because maybe they aren't 100%?

One of the RIP players who seems to be playing with a lot of hustle this year also seemed to me to be playing less than one might expect.  I mentioned this to someone who knows him only to be told that he has been playing hurt.

Just as we didn't know that Coach Schafer has been "playing" injured, we don't know a damn thing about anyone else on the team either.  (The forum's ragging on Adler's senior season was foolish - back how many years, now?  For those too young to remember he quit hockey altogether after the last game of a four year Cornell career because of a back injury.)

How many of us who are close to Scott's size could even make it through one shift?

Scott was playing a majority of last season, when he was playing much better than this year, with a broken wrist....
