[quote lynah80][quote Al DeFlorio]Barlow, R. Nash, and Gallagher skating on a line for the game-winner.[/quote]

Was that intentional or were they in the middle of a line change?[/quote]

That was the line that Mike Schafer sent out after a long tv timeout. I was a little surprised not to see Colin Greening out there.

[quote abmarks][quote Trotsky]Another fun stat: Schafer has now led Cornell to more advances in the NCAA than all of their other coaches put together.[/quote]

Except he is trailing in one critical stat. Someone is ahead of him for NCAA titles 2-0[/quote]
And the obvious caveat that advancing to the round of 8 means less than when getting to the NCAA's meant that you were in the round of 4.

[quote ugarte][T]he first Northeastern goal was a lucky bounce off of two Cornell defenders.[/quote]Only fair, since the first Cornell goal was a lucky bounce off of two Cornell attackers.

(I watched it in slow motion a few times and I'm pretty sure Gallagher's shot hit Brendon's skate, then Greening's arm, before it hit net.)

Maybe we should fire him ::rolleyes:::-)

Who is the last ECAC school to win a game in the NCAA tournament? We must be dominating the ECAC in terms of NCAA wins the last 8 years or so.

Cornell. They won just a few minutes ago against Northeastern.

(Before that, Clarkson beat SCSU in 2008.)

Well if you want to drive to grand rapids tonight, you need to make it to newark airport Hertz rentals by Midnight to join us. Let us know

BTW, in case it hasn't been said lately: fuck Bob Norton. He spent the entire time recapping the Cornell-Northeastern game talking about how great the Northeastern coach is. I'm so sick of that windbag... yich.

Also keeps saying Cornell was beaten badly by Princeton in the ECAC championship.

he coached at UNH what do yo uexpect.......

finchphil · March 28, 2009, 08:43:29 PM

I love Bob Norton. Bob Norton is our best weapon. Three years ago it was "Colorado College has too much firepower for Cornell." This year it was "You have to like Northeastern's chances going into the third period."

It is exciting to see how much bigger and redder Bob Norton's nose is every year....how much fatter he is. He didn't even bother to comb what's left of his hair this year.

He said Cornell lost to Princeton in the ECAC finals at least TEN TIMES. Let's see....they position him as an "assistant coach at UNH from 1970-77..." so just exactly what makes him qualified to provide commentary based on his professional positions over the past 32 years? It's all about the booze....BOB.....

It's March, Bob Norton is back and we're going to the next round. Life is good!

ansky629 · March 28, 2009, 10:09:30 PM

Haha...I was thinking the same thing. This guy absolutely hates us and doesn't even know what happened in college hockey last week - it's a joke.

By the way - does anybody know if there's a reason he hates us? Or is it just that he really doesn't like our style of play?

I don't think Norton hates us. He's just an extreme New England homer.

Larry72 · March 28, 2009, 10:55:47 PM

He's definitely a New England and Hockey East homer. But it is March. ESPN gets him unpickled for a few weeks, then they stick him back in the tank till the following year!!! ::crazy::
