Gotovets also not playing.  Off ice issues?

Let's not jump to conclusions here.

Iles 44 saves.  Excellent team defense, not so much offense.

CU 3-1
CU '87  PSU '95

tomorrow should be interesting.. if we play another game like that we may be in for a longer year than expected. still being two weeks into the season against teams who have played twice as many games a win is a win.

No off ice issues just lots of talent on the team.

still a surprise that a top scoring sr. wouldn't have played

Iles' 30th career win moves him past Laing Kennedy into 14th place.  Next stop, Darren Eliot's 36.

Kirill is a junior not a senior and there are 6 other defensemen on the roster [not including Craig Esposito] all of whom may be viewed as being equially talented by the coaching staff.  We have healthy scratches every Friday at forward, and many of those guys play on Saturday of the same weekend.  Why can't this also be the case with a defenseman?  He could also be sick or injured.  The original poster raised the specter of "off ice issues" which is unjusified speculation.

Iles made some absolutely stellar saves in the third period. The game was not as lopsided as the shots on goal would indicate. Cornell had some excellent scoring opportunities that we just didn't quite put in the net. I think we'll see another great game tomorrow night.

I was specifically referring to Esposito. Totally agree about the defensive rotation.

BTW, great job by the traveling Faithful to come across in full voice.  You sounded good on the Colgate feed (as did the Pep band).

But how about this quote from the CBR summary:

QuoteIles took care of the rest in spectacular fashion, foiling all 24 shots fired his way. It broke his previous career-high for saves in a period (19) and came just four shy of the program record, set by John Detwiler on Feb. 14, 1959 in a game at Dartmouth.

Not even I was around for that one.

Detwiler had 55 saves on 66 shots in that game.
