According to Jason, SOG were 22-10 in favor of Cornell in the third period.

When was the last time we had that many SOG in a third period?

Yeah, it shows they didn't just roll over and give up at the end.

Unless the team has the flu, these guys will come out strong tomorrow night.

so many shots so little to non goals

Didn't we say something to this effect last week after the loss to Yale?

I think it was 2006 North Country trip that the team (at least McKee) had the flu. Not that I wish anyone to be sick, but at least it would explain a lot about this game.

Schafer kicked him out of the game. No joke

Schafer clearly just doesn't understand his style...he's very deliberate and smooth with his stickhandling ::innocent::

This game doesn't deserve a postgame thread.

I agree that sometimes you just get rolled over. The bounces don't go Cornell's way. The one missed bounce in particular: the 2-on-1 Kennedy and Kennedy breakaway (was it them - I'm relying on the SLU radio guy) early in the third that would have closed it to 4-2. It should've gone in; it didn't.

Scrivens gave up 4; Garman gave up 3. I don't think that means Davenport necessarily is the backup goalie for the next series.

Would that it was the flu that did in Cornell.

Is there a pattern: Quick teams do well against Cornell now?

The 22-10 SOG advantage for Cornell in the third shows Cornell did not play dead. And 35-39 on shots is pretty close for the game.

On to Clarkson.

One more, and I'm removing the (t) from the thread subject.

I also resign from being the game threadmaster. I think I'm 1-2-0 this year (0-2-0 the last 2 weeks), and I was in the crowd for the 3rd loss.[/quote]
I was something like 5-0 as an occasional game threadmaster, then volunteered to do, I think it was, an ECAC quarterfinal game when no one else wanted to. You know the rest. We never got to Albany.

I just turned on my computer. In case someone didn't notice, April Fool's is still a couple of months away. Would someone please post the real game thread?

Silver Lining:

5 of the top 6 (by poll) lost tonight. Wow.

On the contrary, I would like precisely such a thread after a night like this. Could someone who saw it give us at least a paragraph on what happened?

ebilmes · January 31, 2009, 01:31:54 AM

I'm at a friend's house so I'll have to wait til tomorrow night to write a longer summary.

But...as for B. Nash, he was involved in a little scuffle around the SLUt net after the Kennedy major. Schafer clearly didn't like something that happened, maybe that he was still going after Petizian, and as Nash skated towards the bench Schafer pointed towards the locker room. Nash obligingly walked off the ice and wasn't seen again.

Folks, this was just a terrible game. The shots in the 3rd were misleading because many of them were frustration-type shots from the blue line. Just awful awful awful awful.

Most bizarre play was Schafer pulling Garman with 11 mins left and allowing an ENG. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think SLUt had too many men out for the faceoff, Schafer assumed it would be called and pulled Garman, it wasn't called, and then SLUt scored. (?) Just caps up the night.

Let's win tomorrow. LGR.

Just like college football. Does Utah have a hockey team that won't get invited the title game?

[quote Trotsky][quote ithacat]For all you history buffs, has a good team ever been beaten this badly? Someone has to be able to put this in perspective.[/quote]

A very good 1986 Cornell team lost Fish N' Fowl 11-3. That's what comes to my mind.[/quote]

Thanks...the perspective helps. Since the weekend already feels surreal, it might be time to start working on my taxes. ::nut::
