Cornell 4 Clarkson 1 Postgame

[Trotsky]

Excellent two-way victory tonight.  Cornell goes orange at 5-0-2 in conference.

No joke.

Scali's goal is now being credited to Dan Nicholls who apparently deflected it on its way in.

Sicktastic hit early in the first, right by the visitor bench. Did anyone catch who it was? It was probably the sickest hit I've seen in a Cornell game. Ever.

I believe it was Nichols(sp?)

Joe Devin also had a really nice one early in this game.

Tied (w/ '66, '68, '69, '97, '03, and '04 teams) for second-earliest (game 7) in a season to turn orange. The earliest years were '67, '70, and '72, when we turned orange by game 5. Mathematically, '70 gives the earliest any team has or can ever turn orange (ditto for turning RED). I've heard we were pretty good back then. **]

It was Mr. Gamewinner himself, Dan "Freight Train" Nicholls.

I haven't seen Clarkson looking this abysmal in my 4 years of watching.  This game was a bit of a bore.  Although we scored 4 times and had a clear puck possesion advantage, we actually didn't generate the usual amount of offensive chances, evidenced by a shots on goal total of 18.  Maybe the team was content to save their energy for tomorrow night and play shut-down hockey with a 3 goal lead, which is completely understandable.  Rival #3 St. Lawrence is always fired up to play us at Lynah, and with their destruction of Colgate tonight, it appears we will have a good game on our hands Saturday.  It was great to see Mugford back in the lineup.  Let's Go Red!

Would you really list them ahead of RPI and Colgate (and BU, for that matter) on the list of rivals?

Having watched Cornell hockey for  only 4 years, I can't claim to have witnessed too many animosity-forming moments beyond games with Harvard, Clarkson, and Quinnipiac for that matter.  The #3 for SLU is just the TBRW opinion.

When was the last time Cornell had brothers each score a goal in the same game and how many times has it happened?  

Also, Mike Devin was the player on the ticket for the game against Clarkson.  How many times has the player on the ticket scored a goal?  I don't keep ticket stubs, but I know some people do.

I doubt anybody's compiled a complete list of every time it's happened, but the last time was Feb. 22, 2008 at Quinnipiac.  Cornell 3, Quinnipiac 2 in OT; goals were Sawada, P. Kennedy, M. Kennedy.

Just a quick follow-up explanation... I think one of the reasons it would be challenging to compile such a list (besides the tedium of going over every single box score, assuming one is available for every game Cornell has ever played, which I'm not at all sure about) is that we may not know, prior to the modern era, whether teammates with the same surname were brothers.  For instance we know that Steve Wilson and Chad Wilson, who played together in the mid-1990s, weren't brothers - but can we say the same for the Smiths or Joneses of the 1920s?

Not that I don't expect someone will try anyway, I'm just saying.  ::banana::
