North Dakota Postgame 1/22

[Trotsky]

Well.  That was nerve wracking. ::panic::

[Oat]

That felt like our first TUC win this season!

[billhoward]

What teamwork, what a goalie, what luck. Nice to have an important Cornell sports event decided by 1 goal in our favor.

>>> That felt like our first TWC win this season!
... is what I thought was typed, at first glance.

Why couldn't this game have been on the national cable channels not just Time Warner Cable? We need taller camera stands, or something mounted in the end of the horseshoe so you can see in the corners.

[jkahn]

Now played No. Dakota twice in New York state, winning 1-0 each time with the goals each scored by defensemen (Skip Stanowski had the goal in the NCAA semis in '67 at Syracuse).

[sockralex]

Team didn't look like they played at their top level but the skilled UND team probably had a lot to do with that.  Hopefully they'll hit their stride tomorrow.

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.

Overall, a really good "grind out" win.

Well, if we keep this up, they're going to stop coming here so often....:-P

[cth95]

I was only listening, but it sure sound like the team blocked a ton of shots in the last couple of minutes.  Scrivens must have been spectacular, too, by the sound of it.

Sort of like Alan Alda in The Fortieth Season.

[philmaywalt]

Scrivens looked phenomenal--and I heartily agree, it was impossible to see any action in the corners!

[Trotsky]

Only the third time Cornell has beaten a top-5 team in Schafer's era.  First win over a top-5 team at Lynah in 27 years.

(Maybe.  There are some gaps in my rankings histories.)

Trotsky, that doesn't seem right.  I remember an early season game, either 95-96 or 96-97 season against Vermont, back when they had the Keebler Elves there.  Vermont was ranked somewhere in the top 3 at the time of the game.  Are your stats based on end-of-year ranking?

No, it's the ranking against the team at the time of the game.  That's why there are gaps -- I need a complete history of rankings by week, haven't been able to find one yet.

(Alternately, it could be built from Ithaca Journal back issues for some enterprising researcher...)

[Tom_Hamill]

Trotsky, game I was thinking about, I'm pretty sure, was 11/15/96  6-4 win over Vt.

[cbuckser]

That was Cornell 6, #1 Vermont 4 at Lynah on 11/15/96.

On 1/7/97, Cornell tied #1 Michigan 3-3 at Yost.

Edit: My source for the contemporaneous rankings is Arthur Mintz's 1996-97 season recap in the 1997-98 media guide.
