All right, Red.  They're gonna start gooning it up.  Let's avoid injuries.

Here's looking at you, Burgdorfer!

Cornell moving the puck really well in the offensive zone.  The game is physical, fast and relatively clean.  Some missed penalties on both sides.

I agree.  I think its something that has been lacking this year.  We haven't responded that well.  Glad to see some things are coming together at the right time of year.

And suspensions.  Don't do anything stupid in response to goonery.

York is again looking like the game is a little too much for him.

Because I'll probably forget later, here's a plug for "You Are the Committee" - which will be active on CHN tonight once the last game is done ... unfortunately that game is in Alaska tonight (vs. OSU) ... so that means at least 1:30 a.m.

I believe Cornell is a lock with a win here and one win in Albany. Same can be said for Princeton and Yale.  Yale is probably in already.

ECAC could get 4 teams if St. Lawrence splits in Albany, and gets some help. If St. Lawrence wins in Albany, obviously it is in, and could be as high as No. 7 overall, from my calculations.

Hurting the ECAC from getting 4 teams in, is the fact that someone in Albany must lose 2 games. This would be a good case for eliminating the consolation game.  Either that, or someone should direct them to tie

If Cornell or Princeton loses two games in Albany, it will severely hurt them - and most likely knock them out.

Nah, Appert isn't Gaudet.  RPI plays inside the opponent's jersey because right now they need to to stay in the game.  They aren't undisciplined, they're tactical, which is why Schafer needed to Make A Statement.

I would expect RPI to really open it up -- they have to.  Cornell should see a lot of open ice and more chances in the third, as well as tests to the D.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Ihope you're right, Trotsky

Goal by Halpern.  He was in the slot, right in front of Scrivens and the puck was sent in to him.
