Cornell 4 Yale 2

[Jim Hyla]

In other good news, the win clinches at least a top 8 finish by Cornell, so we will have more Lynah hockey.

Current conference members' RS by "thirds" since the 1985 reconfig.

So why isn't the first third colored RED?:-(

Sorry.  The new version has it.  Also data labels.

That's nice, seeing all that Red.:-)Now if I could only find a red smiley my world would be complete.:-D

[gonyr]

anyone hear if the dude who got clocked and bled all over suffered more than just stiches in his head?

He went right in front of me as they were taking him out. He looked to be a mess, with blood running down his face and all over his shirt, but seemed to be walking under his own power and talking with the EMTs. "Dude" was an elderly gentleman, probably late 60s or older

I also don't know what to make of the "fights" at the end of games, or some of the dumb penalties we take earlier in the game. With a less than stellar PK, we need to be smart.

Right.  Two offensive zone penalties last niight could have let Yale back into the game.  Just can't continue doing that against tough teams in important games.  You wind up having to beat the odds as well as the tough teams.

Absolutely, but its more than a little questionable that every scrum that occurred this weekend resulted in us killing a penalty, even if we didn't instigate it. You'd think some of those would end up being offset entirely. Regardless, we need to just take the high road late in games.

I'm concerned less about the late-game scrums (dumb as it is to be suckered into them) and more about individual penalties taken in the offensive zone, of which we've taken more than our fair share throughout the season.

Friday scrum was OK with me. Axell was standing up for Mihalek who was absolutely creamed with a good hard check right in from of me. But Saturday night's was just crap that they need to be smart enough not to get involved in.

Can someone explain something to me?  Yale player gets a 5 minute major for something (face mask?) in one of the 3rd period scrums.  Cornell player gets 2 minutes for roughing or high-sticking or something.  Yale gets a power play.  Huh?

I always thought if you get a five minute major you play a man down for five full minutes (unless it's matching majors).  When did this rule change?

Edit:  Never mind.  I missed Lowry's 5 for cross-checking.

Looks like there were matching majors; Lowry got 5+2

Code Select Expand


YAL-5 Clinton Bourbonais (5-FACEMASKING) 18:33
COR-7 Joel Lowry (5-Cross-Checking) 18:33
COR-8 Joel Lowry (2-Unsportsmanlike Conduct) YAL 1x6 18:33

So Bourbonais and Lowry both go into the box, along with another Cornellian to serve Lowry's minor.  Only the minor gets put on the board, but Bourbonais sits for five minutes, and Lowry sits for five minutes from the end of the minor (which as it turns out was at 19:10 when Yale scored the 5x3 PPG).  Of course since there was no overtime, they just sat for the rest of the game.

How hard would it be to add "blank" (maybe white) wedges for Union and Quinnipiac to represent the years they were not in the league, so that a wedge of X degrees represents the same number of seasons for each team?  (For that matter, I wouldn't mind seeing pie charts Vermont and Army added in the same way.)

I'll definitely add UVM and Army.  Army might just be a big green urinal cake.

I was also planning on going back to the beginning of the conference ("thirds" would take on a variable meaning in absolute standing) with another chart.

If I were competent I would be able to make them highly interactive charts with slider bars for the years you wanted to display, etc.  But if I were competent I'd charge.

Ivy Champs!

I don't care if it's not as important as the other titles the team hopes to win; it's a championship to be won, and goddammit, better us than than anybody else.

Certainly the team was excited about winning it, and that's important.

It's a banner.  

It seems weird to think that it's been SIX years since we last hoisted that one.

Collins Goal #2 with McCarron feverishly/humorously trying to stay onside:

With regard to the fisticuffs/late penalties on Saturday, it seemed obvious to me that Yale was trying all game to goad our guys into fights and stupid penalties. I noted to my friends how restrained they were to the Yale chirping/provocation compared to Friday night. Only after we were up 4 did they seem to take the bait and the really late stuff seemed more of a middle finger to Yale because they could. I definitely would like to see them take the high road in the such situations and not even give them a late chance.

Regarding the 6 on 3 goal mentioned earlier, it was actually only a 5 on 3 and I thought it was a little strange they didn't pull their sieve, but I guess it worked for them.

On some other notes, I thought Espo looked pretty good when he wasn't limping off the ice, but of course I'd love to see him fully healed with more ice time. Ferlin continued to look fantastic and I agree with Schafer that it's kind of amazing the Ferlin/Miller/Mowrey couldn't get one in the back of the net given their chances.

Since we're on a Yale thread, what do Yale, AIC and UConn have in common?

Answer: They are the only three teams in the country to lose to Sacred Heart this season. UConn joined this select group on Sunday, when it lost to Sacred Heart 2-1 in overtime.
