Harvard can't clear the zone.

Greening scores.  Assists: J. Devin, Gallagher

Devin gets credit from Greening & Gallagher

The last few shifts have been great. Cornell cycling well and getting some good chances, like Kennedy who got stoned.

Cornell going back to the PP.

Dangerous play from Barlow, I don't like that at all.

Edit: and he pays for it 2-1 Harvard

And gee, like with Devin's penalty, Harvard capitalizes on our mistakes once again. uggghhhh.

LGR!

"Scrivens went stick up and legs wide."

That about describes it, yeah.

Brendan Nash gets his requisite 2 min in the box, and Harvard's PP burns us again.

I hope on the ride home they keep an eye out for our PK and PP units. ::help::

Good to be losing with Feola.  He pretty much calls the game solely by momentum.

Greening!!

Break out the rolaids for the last 3:30.

LGR!

Penalties, Penalties, Penalties.

Greening, 2 minutes, hitting from behind.

I think Cornell out skated Harvard.  They just didn't get the key shots to go in.  In addition to his two goals, Greening had two near goals.   They need another guy on the ice who can finish, e.g. M. Kennedy.

Shots:
Harvard - 24
Cornell - 44

The power play is a big problem.  The first unit is on the ice too much, which is understandable given the lack of a strong second unit that can score.  There seems to be a lack of "surprise" in the PP.

On the other hand, Harvard's power play was impressive.  They moved the puck very quickly and were taking good shots from very close to the net.  All 4 of their goals were from the PP (4/6).  Their PP is 15th in the nation.  I think Donato deserves credit for that.  

Some of the Cornell guys aren't skating agressively, which makes me wonder how healthy they are at this late point in the season.  Harvard seemed to be playing a more physical game than they normally do.  I'm sure that didn't help the Big Red.

Jordan Kary looked better tonight.  They could use his help.

I didn't see Joe Scali on the ice very much.  Maybe he isn't 100% recovered yet.

I think things will go better next weekend in Ithaca.
