Cornell 3 North Dakota 7

[Rita]

The Sioux announcers (at least the ones doing the game on the NHLN) seem to be quite complimentary of Cornell and our defensive game. How long has it been since anyone has described the Cornell forwards as big?

Am I the only one who thinks of our small, speedy, passing centers (Kyle Knopp, Ryan Smart and of course Topher)? We have had lots of physical players and a few "big" guys, but describing the all of the forwards as "big", just caught me off guard. Maybe it just sounded different coming from people not really affiliated with Cornell.

I thought that was a good first period; heck 13 shots, most of them good ones. And we won most of the face-offs, 18-10.

[quote ebilmes] Devin seemed to be at fault for the first goal, just let the NoDak player skate past him and get off a good shot next to the goal.[/quote]

Yes, and he didn't do a stick check on ND. They should never have gotten that shot off.

To be honest, I think of all our players as big.  And slow.  So this year is a big change in my mind.

Great period. We just need Scrivens to step it up a little bit more and we could have a solid chance.

Sioux pp #2 upcoming.

Scrivens has laid eggs in some of our highest-profile matchups. Better step it up for the rest of this game

[quote Cornell11]Scrivens has laid eggs in some of our highest-profile matchups.[/quote]I count once, against BU at MSG, and that was a total team effort.

[Rita]

Wow, Taylor Davenport was lucky to only get 2 min.

B. Nash in for 2 minutes (holding). 5x3 for ~ 1:30 min.

[Omie]

WOW. Talk about a total failure in the PK. Horrible time to take penalties.

[CM cWo 44]

Why can't Scrivens move across the crease... he had plenty of time to spread his pad.

[Trotsky]

Note to self: don't give NoDak a 5x3.

[quote Rita][quote DeltaOne81]That was one of the prettier Cornell goals I've seen in a while.[/quote]

Ditto. Greening's goal was sweeeeeeet. Riley Nash did a great job hanging on to the puck and getting the pass to Barlow. Wow his arms are long.[/quote]

figured. that stinks


come on red!

[Trotsky]

Cornell pp coming up.

Well, Cornell just had a nice stretch of play and is going on pp.  LGR!
