Cornell Women's Ice Hockey: February 2012

[David Harding]

The whole-year thread on Cornell Women's Ice Hockey has become unwieldy.  I propose monthly threads like the Alumni in the Pros threads.

To kick off February, here's the http://www.cornellbigred.com/news/2012/2/2/WICE_0202121645.aspx preview of the upcoming weekend games against RPI and Union at home.

The preview says the Tuesday game against Mercyhurst will be televised. Does anyone know details?

[Thomas Larson]

Yes, this is much better, I think, though we'll only have February and March to worry about.

Any chance this team loses one of its next four games? RPI, Union, Yale and Brown are all ranked in the bottom five of the conference. Beating Clarkson and St. Lawrence at the end of the month before ECAC QFinals will be a nice way to close out, but by then the league title should be locked up.

Mazz or Slebodnick tonight? Any word on Mazz's injury?

Looks like Time Warner Cable Sports has it.

Yes, it's listed on my local channel guide. I put it on the TV thread. Now do I go down to CU, or stay with family and veg here? It's one of a few women's games I could see live.

Two quick PPGs (Rougeau and Jenner) make it 2-0 early in the first.

Honey Badger don't care. Saulnier and Leck each score within nineteen seconds of each other, 4-0 end 2nd.

[Thomas Larson]

Why are you calling Saulnier Honey Badger? I think the team calls Gagliardi the Honey Badger, not Saulnier.

It's about attitude. Saulnier showed from very early on that she doesn't care who is on the other side of the ice. The five-minute major for nailing that Syracuse player was probably the best example.

I'm sorry.  Honey Badger sounds like a Bond girl.

I'm sorry. Honey Badger sounds like a Bond girl.

Or like an LSU cornerback. I've never been a huge fan of re-using nicknames, but that's just me.

'Honey Badger' is definitely not risque enough for a Bond girl.

Seattle Sounders fans use it for one of their defensive midfielders (and I think it's been used by fans of other teams as well). I thought that Saulnier fit the personality type, so I'm going to use it.

"Honey Beaver", on the other hand....

OK, I think that's more than enough thread drift in this direction.  ::bolt::

[Al DeFlorio]

Four 3rd-period goals for a 5-1 win over Mercyhurst.  
SOG 23-5 in the 3rd.

From the CornellWHockey twitter feed:

"Honey badger aka Gags just getting in MC's face all night. Driving the net hard and Pattenden isn't liking it #honeybadgerdontcare"

So there's that.
