Have we ever finished third in this thing? I feel like when we lose day one we always lose day two also.

EDIT: Answered my own question. Dec. '04 lost to BC, beat UMO to finish third.

Two years ago, I never imagined that Cornell would be this mediocre during Topher's senior year.  Bleh.

Ben Scrivens stopped 11 of 12 breakaways tonight. Four of five during the game, and then all seven in the shootout.

Cornell was outscored 5-0 in the third period this weekend.

Michael Kennedy was named to the all-tournament team.

UML destroyed Maine 6-0 in the final. Ben Bishop was yanked after 4-0.

Great to hang out (and cheer/sing) with Eli and his dad this weekend.  Not great to watch our team dominate Tech in the first, and then blow it in the third.  Also of note, two local news stations showed highlights from the tournament with one of them showing the Kennedy brothers' goals from today.

Five breakaways in regulation...in one game?!  I recall several breakaways/odd man rushes in the BU game as well.

Being prone to breakaways + mediocre goaltending =  ::thud::

If Scrivens had only been mediocre, he wouldn't have still had a shutout 5 minutes into the third period. I couldn't believe the number of breakaways Clarkson had. There was one stretch in which Clarkson had two 1x0 chances within about 30 seconds. Clarkson had another breakaway with four seconds left in regulation. That would have been an awful way to lose.

I'd agree Scrivens was far from mediocre, in fact he was the only thing keep us in this game during a second period in which we got badly outplayed, scoreboard not withstanding.

A rough weekend for Colin Greening... was stoned on several point blank attempts and robbed by Potter on an amazing snap shot in the second.  He was also penalized for a Patrick Kennedy slash that the ref seemed to mis attribute.  I never would have thought that once the teams most disciplined player would now be leading us in penalty minutes (... and points).

Is it just me, or can noone else hear the phrase "Bishop was yanked" without laughing like a 12-year-old boy amongst his peers?::laugh::

(Hey, at this point I am looking for anything that makes me laugh)

Ever since he was said to be the "best defensive coach" of 2005, he has been getting his nose rubbed in it. Our teams of late are better at attacking and keeping the other teams off balanced and frustated . SOMETIMES A GOOD OFFENSE IS A GREAT DEFENSE !     And sometimes a team's roster supports a coaching style and other times the coaching style has to adapt and support the skills of the roster !
