Okay, just saw the video of the goal on YouTube. It was an irresponsible drop back, no doubt.

He didn't shoot it into the corner, he lazily flipped it back only about 5 feet away from the goal. He had no time to think, I admit, but he shouldn't've done that.

FYP.

At least he should have taken a second to think about whether he wanted to put the puck back on the ice. The refs would have burned a few seconds waiting to blow the whistle.

[quote HockeyMan]I have to disagree. It's one thing to do this if the forecheckers are relatively far away; it's another to do it--as was the case here--if they're right there with your d-men. There would have been four seconds or less on the clock if he had held on for the faceoff. The chances of any team scoring in that situation is 1 in 200, at best. He made the wrong play.[/quote]
Agreed: this was exactly my thought when I saw the play. Goals directly off faceoffs are very rare.

[quote Al DeFlorio][quote DeltaOne81]So its now been how many years since an ECAC team other than Cornell won an NCAA game?[/quote]
One. Clarkson beat perennial NCAA loser St. Cloud last year in the first round before losing to Michigan.[/quote]
Something had to give in that one.

It was directed at me. And I was referring to me! Seriously, are you really this dense?

Note to RichH: I lose again.

[quote jtwcornell91]So, to summarize, Yale pulled a Clarkson and Princeton pulled a Harvard. Now I guess it's up for us to pull a Cornell, i.e., fall behind to Northeastern, come back and win it, then take Notre Dame to overtime before losing.[/quote]

Quite a prediction!::burnout::
