Yes its nice to see one team at Cornell that actually gives all its effort and wants to play for the school, the fans, and has some pride. Much better than that "team" that plays at Lynah...

Thanks for making my point for me.. troll

Your www.slack.nets is very informed (did you in fact create it jtwcornell91?). I found it helpful in understanding the playoff formations. Cheers.

Good for you.  I'll be sure to notify Chris Hansen about how you incorrectly track me at the road games.

[Iwilldunkonyou]

OH that's right. You must have been with that OTHER group of non-existent students at all these games away from the Cornell section. My mistake.

You talkin' to me? (In my best DeNiro)

Anyone know what happened to the Cornell Anaphoric Society's annual distribution of the six verses of the Alma Mater last night?  It was too bad that the band played them all but the fans didn't have the words, nor did most people even know what the band was up to.  How many other occasions do we have to assess the relative strengths of verses four and six?

I've never known who or what the CAS was, other than the folks who distribute the six verses on Senior Night.  Maybe someone graduated and no one took on this job?

FWIW, I think Cornell has a better shot going to Albany by playing Union on the road than they would have playing Harvard at home.

Agreed.  Union has never won an ECAC playoff series, including dropping four first-round upsets (i.e., at Union) in a row from 2003-06.  Hahvahd just has a better overall sense of what it takes to win at this level.

They played great on Friday against an extremely bad team.  They played well on Saturday, dominating at times, against a Harvard team that's identical in ability and depth.  50/50 games go either way; unfortunately we got the 1-in-4 case this year against the Crimson, which I'm hoping sets up another meeting in Albany.  It would have been great to keep the string of top-4 finishes alive, but...

For a team with more high end offensive talent (Riley, Greening, Michael Kennedy) than any since the F4 team, it's amazing they do no better than, at most, 2 goals against a good opponent.  That's their tragic flaw, although frankly from the energy they generated on O and all the giveaways in their own zone, I'd have guessed they would have lost the Harvard game 6-4 rather than 3-1.

Well they are only on the ice about 12-15 minutes a game each so I think it's pretty amazing that they have produced as much as they have.

Interesting spin, and a nice antidote to all the negativity here, from the Harvard writer:

Riley Nash is such an exceptional talent that he seems to go about "his business" with so little exertion.   If my perception is reality (that he actually is exerting himself less), why is Mike not double-shifting him a bit  at crucial times in important games?  

God knows, Mike is open to changing line combinations.   So, I can't believe he's not doing this because he doesn't want to disturb the chemistry on any given line ;-)

Just scanning the box score I am shocked that it appears we were 50/50 at the faceoff circle, over the game.  Would love to see a breakdown by period... Dufault absolutely killed us in the 3rd at the faceoff (not to mention the goals)
