Cornell 5 at UNH 2 (postgame)

[scoop85]

Just great to see the way Cornell played today.  I thought Jillson had the best game of his Cornell career today (at least of those that I have seen).  He made a number of excellent passes, and finally seemed to be on the same page with Riley Nash

Anyone have video of the no-goal call with like a minute left in the 1st  period.  From the student section, that looked like a clear goal, but the ref immediately waived it off.  At the start of the intermission (the next stoppage of play) it looked like the refs reviewed the play for several minutes, but there was no announcement and, of course, no goal.

I believe that was the one that TV showed hitting the crossbar. At least I remember them talking about the review and how they'd have to replay the end of the period if it had been a goal.

Ahhh I'm so sad I missed this game. I had tickets but wasn't able to make it up to New Hampshire in time from Florida. The College Classic games were real big disappointments so I'm glad Schafer got the players back on track. I hope this momentum gets carried through the coming semester and we'll be able to end up first in the conference. Quinnipiac is losing its steam recently and it would be a big boost if we can win on their turf.

It should be a 4 point weekend if we play this well against SLU and CLK

Go Red!

The replay on the tv broadcast showed pretty clearly that it bounced harmlessly off the crossbar.

Can someone who recorded the ESPNU video upload the goal highlights to youtube?  I watched the streaming video but the quality was pretty poor, and I don't have access to the archives with only a single game pass.  I would really like to see the lead-up to the 4th goal again.

I need to make some copies of it anyway, so I can throw together some highlights. Heck, for that game, I may just make a full video of it and accidentally drop it in the internets.

A few UNH fans commented to us at the rink that UNH did not play as well as usual yesterday, but one said, "We've seen Miami and Wisconsin play here this year, and you guys look better than both of them."  Take with a grain of salt, of course, but nice to hear.  Several people stopped us to ask, "How the heck did Cornell lose in Florida?!  They look amazing."

It was nice to see a solid game, and the domination in the 3rd period was amazing.

Cornell alum who lives in NH, new to the forum but have read this for years.  I was at the game and I usually see one or two games a year (Dartmouth and usually Brown).  Best I have seen the team look in years.  B. Nash was dominant, Riley Nash was tremendous and Greening is a beast up front.  The cycling clinic was something that should be used in instructional videos.  Patience, hard work and exceptional line changing while that was all going on, the UNH fans around me have never seen that and quite frankly I have watched about 40 games at the Whit over the last several years and you just do not see that kind of hard work down low in Hockey East.  A truly dominant performance that must carry on into the 2nd half of the season.

I have lived in NH for over a decade and have waited for the Red to invade the Whit and play the type of game that they did.  I am at work with my Cornell tie and loving every minute of it.  LGR.

ESPNU game highlights

don't know if this has been posted yet

EDIT: This is Barry Melrose interview with Scrivens... not much in the way of highlights- espn lied to me

[billhoward]

In addition to yesterday's loss, New Hampshire has also dropped games to Rensselaer, Miami and Wisconsin (twice) - a quartet of clubs that dress in the color of blood and may ultimately kill the Wildcats' season. UNH's last chance at registering an out-of-conference win comes Jan. 16 against Dartmouth, though beating the Big Green (3-10-0) might be too little, too late.

Too bad there's no journalism category in the Bulwer-Lytton writing contest. (Sunday night, as the field temp dropped below 20, ABC's announcers noted that the fourth or thereabouts touchdown vs. the Bengals "put the game on ice" and since this was TV, felt obliged to note they made a pun.)

Here ya go... from the replay of the 3rd goal all the way through the 4th goal:

FWIW, I just saw that ESPNU is rebroadcasting the game at 1:00 AM on Wednesday, Jan 6th.

Great video.  Thank you.

Thanks for posting the shift.  It almost looked like a 5X3, let alone a typical powerplay.

Fantastic clip.  One of the most protracted periods of even strength dominance Cornell's ever shown.

I've been trying to find a way to describe how good the 1985 RPI team was for 25 years.  That clip is perfect.  That's how they looked in the ECAC SF against Cornell.  When they were shorthanded. ::wow::
