MLax: Yale 7 Cornell 8 (F-OT)

[Al DeFlorio]

We're turning what should have been a rout into a close game.

Comedy of errors since 4-0

Now that's sloppy. Getting a turnover on the man down and doing a poor job of clearing it and turning it back over for an easy goal.

4-4. Myers made a good first save, but couldn't track down the rebound.

5-4. Elis. Tramboni needs to calm his team down.

[Al DeFlorio]

Think we need a time-out.

[mnagowski]

6-4. Yale starting to smell blood.

[DeltaOne81]

And theres the timeout. Need to settle them down, making all kinds of mental and strategic mistakes. Bad passes, rushing it, not backing up shots, etc.

[Al DeFlorio]

Biggest problem is they're beating our D.

[Al DeFlorio]

Gut check time.  That illegal stick call just stopped us in our tracks.

[Al DeFlorio]

Seibald trying to do too much.  High-risk passing.  Poor shooting.  Better get settled during halftime.

[DeltaOne81]

Not sure I agree that D is the problem. In that half Yale probably has possession for something like 11-12 minutes. Giving up 3 goals in that time actually seems to me to be bordering on impressive, esp considering they killed 3 EMOs in that period.

Because everytime the offense got it they'd either make a bad pass, or try to force it by running through 3 guys and getting trapped, on and on the rare case they got a shot off people they gave up possession, it wasn't backed up half the time.

Time for the offense to settle down, have some good possession, find some open men, and put some in the net.

[Al DeFlorio]

How many posts have we hit?

[Al DeFlorio]

Camera man is driving me crazy.

[Al DeFlorio]

Not impressed by shot selection.  Can't seem to work it inside.
