Hahvahd @ Cornell

[Johnny 5]

This will either be a great recruiting opportunity, or a debacle of "biblical proportions".

Anybody want to guess which Cornell hockey team shows up?
The one that beat a tough CC twice, or the one that was crushed by the lowly (?) Quinnies??

Getting out-muscled and, worse, out-positioned and, worst of all, out-hustled at Q was ugly.  I'm sure it did not pass without comment from the coaching staff.

From WAFT:

Brian Sullivan @SullivanHockey

The OHL's @MattyMo26 reports that Harvard G Steve Michalek has been added to the USHL's Cedar Rapids roster; I'm awaiting word from Harvard.

As tipped on the USCHO Forum Harvard thread, the Cedar Rapids Gazette has this article.

The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders have placed goaltender Stephen Michalek on their protected list. Now will he actually be joining the RoughRiders?

"There is nothing definitive, yet," RoughRiders head coach/general manager Mark Carlson said Monday.

Somebody mentioned in the P thread that they came up firing on all cylinders in the third after coach yelled the right stuff- they got stymied when some Princeton guy made the goal of his life on a falling down crazy-angle slapshot.

I'm betting that these three factors will make sure the right team shows up:
1- Lynah
2- National TV audience
3- They're playing Sucks

Either way, we'll find out what this team is made of on Friday.

That only tied the game. How do you explain allowing a guy to skate with the puck completely untouched from the faceoff cirle directly to the goalmouth for the GWG?  Heck of a time-out by Princeton to draw that play up, but CU has to react better.

Other than that, the rest of the 3rd period was dominant, and a glimpse of how powerful this team can be.  If they're going to go through this, it's good for it to happen this early.

This.

This team will be measured by what it does in March and April not in November. For once, strength of schedule is likely to help this team absorb bad November ECAC weekends and a few bad loses do not completely erode the margin of error come spring. Hopefully the last two weeks are enough to show this team that they need to come ready to play at 100% for 60 minutes whether they are playing CC or AIC. There are no easy games to day dream through on this schedule.

Where do we put our roll call and viewing party inquiries these days? Or is that all handled via the Google+ circles these days or something? The Twitter? This is what happens when you stay away from eLynah for so long, kids: you come back and you sound like your 71-year-old aunt trying to comment on a Facebook photo.

Anyway, Hahvahd bad. Big Red good. I agree with what RichH and Chris '03 said above.

If you are in Atlanta or Fort Lauderdale, there is a party.

I think the Roll Calls are for the away games, and it is a tad too early to start one for the Estero games ;-).

Schafer is blunt in the CHA newsletter: "The early season started out great, but lately, we have been reading too many press clipping because our play
has dropped off, and we have not been ready for how a nationally-ranked team should perform."

ECAC tries to show replay of the 2006 Harvard @ Cornell game. However it seems to stop before Kennedy's game winning goal. I've emailed them about it. Also thru the ECAC, here's the Harvard Crimson article on the weekend.

"It's huge," Fallstrom said. "It's going to be a packed barn, loud, probably not a single Harvard fan in the stands. It's going to be fun though."

I guess they can't even get their parents to show up.

Not even parents want to watch Harvard Hockey.

If you are going to watch your kid lose a few games, probably better to come to the BeanPot 1st round and consolation games
That way the losing is spread out over a couple weeks and is at a neutral site. Not back to back nights (Cornell and our travel partner) and in Lynah East

To be fair, Harvard usually beats Northeastern in the consolation game.

Waiting for Ryan to lead the rush.
