Is there a free audio link through Hofstra, or is it only available on demand?

Thanks!

Unbelievable how many point-blank opportunities we have not been able to cash-in.  A few posts, a number of Gvozden saves, and even a wide open cage missed by Hurley (what's up with him?).  Our goal play has been about what we've come to expect.

Certainly a much better effort than last year's Ohio State debacle.  But it's gonna be touch-and-go in the second half.  We just have to convert on these opportunities.

Not for nothin', but I gotta say, the ESPNU halftime show host is wearing the most horrific shirt/necktie combination I've ever seen in my entire life.

[Tom Pasniewski 98]

How about some color commentary on that shirt/tie combo for us not watching.

[billhoward]

You echoed a lot of our thoughts. It feels as if we should be up by 3-4 goals on Hofstra right now. And there's no sense we're for sure going to come out of this with a win.

First half states say Cornell was 26-13 on shots and 15-14 on GBs but only 4-12 on faceoffs.

[Jacob '06]

Really gotta stop throwing it away and having dumb turnovers too.

The Hofstra audio isn't working for me. Boooo.

[Josh '99]

So is Hofstra's Tierney related to Princeton's Tierney?

[billhoward]

Cornell 9-6. More like it.

How'd we steal Pannell away from all the other schools? No matter. Gad, he's great.  

Nice to see Seibald's presence in the goals column today.

In the back of my mind: What would this season have been, what could it be like if we had one more competitive goaltender in the mix?

Looks as if we're doing a better job this year -- fingers crossed - of shedding the every-other-year one-and-done mode that Harvard hockey is so good at every year in the NCAAs.

And there's a save

[billhoward]

OMG - Jake's making saves for Cornell. This is a year when it's not such a sure thing.

[billhoward]

So nice to hear announcers who know what they're talking about. The only thing better would be if we were sitting in a sports bar with a big screen TV (a sports bar that gets ESPNU) with Hillel Hoffman sitting between us. We'd buy every round for him. Or Howie Borkin.

[billhoward]

Hurley into an empty cage as Hofstra presses. I kind of like a bigger lead than ball control.
