Amusing to hear the Harvard announcers lament the loss "in front of such a large crowd."

Umm...weren't they 1/2 CU fans? ::uhoh::

Cornell remains #3 PWR pending results of other games tonight.

In the big picture, it's probably a good thing to have a tough game like this to learn from. The Colgate and Brown games didn't result in two points, but Cornell still seemed to dominate the games. This one should be useful preparing for the tournament and NCAAs.

Schafer is now 7-1 at Lynah East. Also, this is the first regular-season sweep of Harvard in five years.

This is always a great win as the coach set this as one of his goals in the 95-96 season.

Congrats.

Great win! We haven't been outshot many times this season or given up only one penalty. Even though he let in three goals, Lenny really stepped up his play tonight. The Lynah Faithful sounded great also!

I'd really like to hear some thoughts from the guys (and gals) who were at the game--once you're back home and rested, of course!

Some thoughts now that I am back from a great weekend at Lynah East:

We got the 3-0 lead in part to crashing the net and poking at rebonds something we didn't do as much the rest of the game, except for the 4th goal.

The first period we were truly dominant, Harvard had a hard time setting anything up. In part it was the power plays and in part we were forechecking dominantly.

The second period Harvard really brought it to us. Our defense was very tentative, it was as if no one wanted the puck and didn't know what to do with it. Same goes for the third period. harvard outskated us in about every possible way in the 2nd and 3rd period. They used their size a lot to crash the net and pick up the rebounds.

Their goals were all scored in a similar fashion. Slap shots from the point, then crash the net and pick up the rebounds.

Dov made some incredible saves in the 2nd period especially, but we could also not connect. The two I remember was Vesce alone in front in the 2nd and he just missed and then in the third when Moulson couldn't get enough on his backhand to lift it over Dov.

Lenny stood on his head on many an occasion and seemed to save this one for us as the defense in front of him wasn't its normal strong self.

The crowd was amazing...about half must have been Cornellians. And there were some truly disgusting Harvard fans that I can't even describe accurately, I'll leave that to someone else.

I am sure there are other things I could mention, but I have two tests tomrrow so I need to study. All in all a great win for Cornell and I already wish it was next weekend.
