Cornell 3, CC 2 (Saturday) postgame

[billhoward]

Cornell 3 PPGs to go with the 2 Friday. Something like 5x14 on power play for the weekend. Outstanding PK, too. CC killed themselves with all those penalties. Let's hope CC is the real deal and not some marginal team we should have beaten up on even more. (CC was 3-1 and #19 in USCHO coming in; Cornell was #7.)

Even if they're mediocre, with the sweep every time they even tie a TUC it will help our Common Opponent category...  /waytooearly

Just saw on Twitter that Union's star player injured knee tonight.

USCHO score update thread said he took a knee-to-knee hit late in the 2nd, tried a shift in the 3rd, but couldn't go.  The fact that he even tried has to be encouraging - hopefully a more thorough examination doesn't uncover serious trouble.

First time since 2007 that Cornell has won its first 2 NC games.

If you're wondering who they're talking about it's Shayne Gostisbehere.

Conflicted about this one, but given that the NHL probably wont exist by the time he develops as a prospect I guess sucks for Union?

Maybe sanity will prevail and we'll go back to having 3 or 4 professional hockey leagues in a few years. The NHL-as-pro-monopoly has been far more trouble than it's worth.

Yeah, him.  Had no freaking clue how to spell it...

From Adam's weekend recap on CHN http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/gamegab.php:

The only major story on this game was a potential injury to star defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, who took a knee on knee hit trying to make an end-to-end rush. But after the game, coach Rick Bennett said he was OK. "He's fine. That's what happens when you don't want to keep it simple," he said.

Thanks to the ELynah Twitter feed I know how to spell all sorts of odd names. Well, last names anyway. I had to look up if it was Shayne or Shane.

It even taught me how to spell "MacCarron."

I'm not going to live that down for a while, am I? I blame Beeeej for scheduling his wedding during the exhibition games. I need a preseason too.

Yeah.  What kind of Cornell hockey couple schedules their wedding when Cornell hockey is on the ice? :-P

An elderly one.  They had no more time to waste.
