Cornell 3 Michigan 2 post game

[jtn27]

Does anyone know if there are highlights from the game online anywhere? I'd like to see Craig's game winner again. I thought they were supposed to be on ESPN3 but I couldn't find it.

Never mind. It's on the Michigan athletic site. http://www.mgoblue.com/allaccess/?media=312322

That is a heckuva backhand pass by Mowrey to Miller to set it all up.

We are 3-1 lifetime in NCAA games against teams with dogs in their logo.

Amazing game; one for the ages.

And the final 5 minutes of the 2nd should go down in history in particular. Surviving a 5 minute major, getting a temporary reprieve on the minor, a missed penalty shot, a 5x3 SH situation?  And nothing happens to the score?  Epic, gut-wrenching roller-coaster of a window.

After that was when I figured I'd had enough to drink. Alcohol + gut-wrenching rollercoaster had a queasy, "i want to throw up effect" on me.

Terrific piece in the Michigan Daily:

The midnight gesture of Shawn Hunwick

Great piece.

As a former Cornell Sun sports editor, it pains me to say this. But the quality of the sportswriting in the Michigan Daily when it came to their coverage of the Cornell-Michigan game was far superior to any sportswriting I've seen in the Sun for many years. In addition, it's written on deadline. I just went to the Sun website now, and they still have the game preview up, but nothing about the game itself. The Michigan Daily website, by contrast, had several well-written stories posted online when I checked at 9 a.m. today. We may have won the Cornell-Michigan hockey game, but we got trounced in the college newspaper sportswriting competition.

As someone who looks around to try to "hire" people out of various student papers, I can say unequivocally that Michigan Daily writers are the only ones that, every year, are consistently outstanding. And this year's crew, even moreso, if that's possible. Cornell Sun, it varies year to year - although one of our rock stars, Avash, is a Cornell Sun alum.  BU and Harvard are the other places to find top notch hockey coverage, typically.  We've had some success at times at Princeton and North Dakota.

Deadspin's got the video of Rodger Craig's goal. Amazing passing Craig -> Mowrey -> Miller, Craig on the rebound. I can't stop watching it.

Scersk is right...the row of people in Wisconsin jerseys in the front row (visible on the reverse angle of the celebration) are going crazy.

"And Cornell wins a hockey game!" isn't quite "Do you believe in miracles?" but it's nice to hear the genuine excitement from the call.  I think it's the same guy who had the call for Barlow's GWG vs. Northeastern:

Darn Hunwick making it harder for me to hate the Maize and Blue of the hockey variety.

Darn Hunwick making it harder for me to hate the Maize and Blue of the hockey variety.

Think of it this way.  He was a walk-on, right?  So that means he's not typical.  Or to put it a different way, I'd like to think the reason he wasn't recruited by Berenson is because he was a good person, and Red only recruits scum.

Does that help?

He's graduating. You can go back to hating Michigan in a few months once they no longer have a redeeming player.

Not to stir up any controversy, but according to Mark Anbinder, De Swardt probably shouldn't have gotten a game misconduct for his hit. https://twitter.com/#!/mhaithaca/status/183381226831364096

Clear in the photo: De Swardt hit was to Serville's chest/shoulder, not head. #letsgored #NCAAhockey

I asked him if he posted that photo online anywhere. If he responds, I'll post the link here.
