North Dakota Postgame 1/22

[Robb]

Mein Gott, was that sweet, considering I was living in VT at the time....

I didn't hear it mentioned on the broadcast, but we dressed 7 defensemen tonight.  So after Joe Devin got tossed, we went the rest of the way with only 10 forwards.

There was doubt over whether still-sick Justin Krueger would be able to play.  Sean Whitney dressed as insurance (and as a power-play specialist).

Because of the tv timeouts, it was less important than usual for Cornell to roll four lines.

Any chance there will be tix available for tomorrow's game?

Any thoughts on the penalties?  Some of them looked a little soft.  M. Devin 5 minute was probably deserved but the 5 min we got in our favor looked soft.

My seats are pretty much right behind the Cornell bench, so I had no view of the five minute major UND took, because it happened in the corner I can't see at all. But I did see Scott Garrow react pretty energetically to the hit, and he is generally pretty low-key on the bench, so based on that single data point I can say that perhaps the five-minutes was justified.

Maybe he just wanted to show he could, since he just turned 40.::demented::

What, like 40 means anything anymore? (says the soon-to-be 38 year old)

Just a little note on scrivens. He's gotten a bad rap (average goalie,makes the expected saves, never STEALS a win). Well folks, he just did. We got outplayed, outmanned, in every aspect tonight. If it wasn't for our "average" goaltender, it wouldve been 3-1 minimum, and that's being nice. So let's give credit where its deserved and recognize we stole one (not that I mind)!!

You a freaking fountain of statistical information. Thank you. And the columns even lined up.

Sitting in N -  thought  both  Major penalties were good calls.   Very tough game - our passing seemed to be a tad off for about 2/3  of  game  -  and especially on power play in general.    shot on goal  28 - 19  in Favor of ND. We blocked about 14 shots in the third period alone.    They are a fast team -  but  we gave them the puck  maybe a dozen or more times through poor or weak passes trying to clear our zone.
   
Somehow we found a way to get one beautiful goal. and  to stymie most of their chances and Ben  got the rest.    
Was particularly  impressed with ND's  ability  to pin us in our end for more than a minute at a time.   We need to work out some better strategy to break their cycle....  

We had a few good opportunities but couldn't quite cash in.  On positive side we won a fair number of face offs.  We kept most of ND shots  towards the outside or point -  and  our D made  couple of great plays on some tight 2-1 breaks.  

Danny Kristo is very fast -  thought Zajac played very well for ND.    

Tomorrow night should be fun - Anyone also going to watch the Women play at 3 versus Colgate ?

I arrived at 6:45 pm Friday night with a ticket to sell and I was not the only one unloading extra tickets that late.  Lots of season ticket holders have extra tickets available even for sold-out games so it is quite likely that you can score tickets [at face value...] outside the ticket office entrance on game night....Any game but Harvard.

You'll notice I edited it 5 times.

I am so effing glad that I could sing Cornell songs at Dunbar's this evening, without it having to be a "let's sing even though it was just a tie" or worse, "let's sing even though we lost" kind of thing. It was a "let's sing, and we effing won tonight" kind of thing. A downright excellent time to be back on campus. As usual, Ithaca did not disappoint. In case I haven't yet made it clear, I am damn glad I came back to campus tonight. I love it here. Okay, good night.

Was that Scrivens' best performance of his career?  Off the top of my head I can't think of a game where he played better.  He was on every puck from the start of the game when NoDak had that quick shot on net.  Really impressive effort by him - especially considering that the rest of the team didn't step on the ice until the end of the 2nd period.

Good win, but no help in the pairwise (I know it's early for this).  Need to get some more wins vs. TUCs so tomorrow is huge.

Lastly - there was a minor penalty called against us as time expired.  That is just for record-keeping, right?  Has no impact on anything tomorrow.

His effort in the 1-0 shutout of St. Lawrence in 2008 is the best performance that I can think of (best I've seen in person, at least) with numerous point-blancblank saves in the 3rd period.  My memories aren't that great, so it'd be nice to hear others' opinions.  The 0-0 game against UMass in 2007 also comes to mind.
