I'll try game updates here. Please notify me if I break with convention in some way.

1st: NU goal 19:21 (Liotti) PP 1-0 Northeastern
2nd: NU goal 09:21 (Silva) 2-0 Northeastern
2nd: CU goal 17:58 (Gallagher) 2-1 Northeastern
3rd: CU goal 16:04 (Greening) PP 2-2 Tie
3rd: CU goal 19:47 (Barlow) 3-2 Cornell

Cornell gets outplayed for a good portion of the game but scores the final three goals, including the game-winner with 17 seconds remaining, to beat Northeastern and move on to play tomorrow night in the Midwest Regional Final. We are fortunate to have beaten this team. Evenly matched on paper, yes, but Thiessen is a tough goalie and this was NU's game to lose with the way they played for most of the game.

Cornell to the power play at 14:40 on an interference call.

Great PK by NE but poor PP by Cornell, no score. Followed by some ridiculous giveaways in our zone = scary chances for NE.

Who is playing for both Devins? I am glad to see blake out there

Go for it. - PP coming for NE

Travis 02 · March 28, 2009, 04:37:13 PM

This Vatale guy seems great - what a pain in the ass.

NE penalty now with 45 seconds left in ours.

EDIT: Crap high stick on Kennedy = 4 on 3 for NE for a bit.

Like the Yale game, a strong first 12-13 minutes but with nothing to show for it. Then give up a goal and have to play from behind.

Looks like Gallagher is having trouble moving side to side. Missed a couple of passes during the CU PP. Northeastern being very aggressive on PK pressuring CU. Will need to adjust.

We were on our heels the last half of the period. The goal was a fluke, but not undeserved. Wish we could have gotten out of the period unscathed.

Aw crap - Silva on a breakaway

Al DeFlorio · March 28, 2009, 05:15:49 PM

I feel like I'm watching a replay of the Yale game. Turnover...breakaway...goal

Another Penalty - Riley Nash
