Quote from: Scersk '97I don't know.  They played reasonably well, from what I saw.  It was, after all, an incredibly fluky first goal, and that changes the tenor of the game.

So, they didn't beat the #1 team in the nation.  So what?  To do so would really be asking too much at this point.  Get them in the tournament, perhaps.  I'm more concerned about the Browns, Clarksons, and Harvards.

I agree. I thought tonight Cornell had done well against Q compaired to what people were predicting. The team didnt go in the penalty box as much as they have in the past and I thought that the game was faster than what it has been played earlier this season. I think that the team is improving, but had the misfortune of playing a team ranked #2 in the nation right now. I think that tomorrow nights game will tell if we can get of of this slump or not.

They're 1-3 against those teams with an aggregate score of 7-14. Why be concerned?

Scersk '97

Well, right.  That's why I'm concerned.  This team generally plays up to its competition but has not been taking care of business versus less talented teams like...  

Basically, I see Princeton, Harvard, and Brown as must wins, RPI and Union as might wins, and Yale and Dartmouth as hope to wins.  Win out (somehow) and, well, I think that we'll still back into a bye, considering the bunching in the league; win the must wins and split the might wins, and its home ice in the first round (whee!); go sub .500 in the next seven...  Ugh.

Odd game.  We played very well in some stretches, yet QU probably should have had at least 2 and maybe several more goals just on blind chance.  They had great disipline and opened up chsnces from all over.  Very solid team.

Connor Jones is my midseason selection for league MVP -- he was all over the place and IMHO far more of an impact than Langlois.

First job is to climb outta 11th.  I think this team can start down that path tomorrow night, and maybe earn tney way back up a few slots by the playoffs.

Right now my goal is: 8th.

Eh at this point, I think I'd rather have the refund for unused home playoff tickets than a first round playoff loss at home.

Can't really fault them for losing to the #1 overall team in the country.

No, but you can fault them for losing to Brown, Harvard, and Maine, and not putting more of a fight against the #1 overall team in the country.

Certainly (although I thought they put up a good fight against Q).

Accepting that this year is over sounds the most logic at this point. I dont doubt anyone who accepts that this is a terrible season. Personally I think that the team is just starting to accept that their heart and soul was taken from them when Cole Bardreau got the season ending injury. One person doesnt make a team, but this season could definitely show different.

Or it means that the team is mentally weak. If a season crashes because a team loses one top-six forward, that team is fragile and pathetic. Bardreau was good, but not the only incisive attacking player in the fall. We have three senior captains, who should be wearing Cs because of their leadership ability. It's time for them to lead.

We watched one of those captains cough up the puck in front of his empty net Friday evening.   Unthinkable!!!
