Game 3 v. Q

[hypotenuse]

Any thoughts about tonight? In a MLB game, the team that has suffered a blowout invariably seems to win the next day. But this isn't MLB, where the effectiveness of the pitcher is such a major component of the victory, and we did come into the Series the underdog. On the other hand, we beat them the first game (Friday seems so long ago!) and, although they beat us twice this season, the games were not exactly blow outs. I wonder what Coach S is going to tell them?

Personally I'd rather lose in this fashion than in heartbreaking, shoulda won, fashion.

[Jordan 04]

What does he need to tell them?  "Go win or your season's over"?

[hypotenuse]

I wasn't thinking about losing. But if we have to lose I would prefer we not look like the Delta House at the Homecoming Parade-- even if we are on double-secret probation.

[Scersk '97]

Somebody mentioned that Schafer-led Cornell teams are 2–0 after > 10 goal blowouts.  (CC in '96; Yale in '98.)

Bad news/good news for game three:  

We won't be able to watch it on NESN/We won't have to endure those ridiculous homer announcers..   Geez.

They raved so much about the Q powerhouse.    By the end of the game, I was expecting them to propose the entire Q team to go directly to the NHL in the form of an expansion team (and be awarded the Stanley Cup, of course).           ::rolleyes::     ::smashfreak::

Great game by Iles.

We were 64 seconds from AC.  Too bad.

I'm so over quick whistles.

And crossbars.

Eh, the better team won. I had already mostly checked out of this season a month ago, around the same time some combination of the players/coaching staff/dice rolls did the same.

At least Atlantic City will get a fitting send-off: even worse attendance than the last two years. If I never step foot in that city again, it'll be too soon.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but the team went on a great run for more than a month.

Like I said, I'd already checked out. I had already gone through the "They are not meeting expectations" phase long before this weekend, and figured this year was a lost cause. It's like being a Jets fan: it doesn't hurt much when you expect them to lose. Unlike the years when I am pissed that they unexpectedly fail to show up in the big game, they met my expectations this weekend.

Great effort by Iles and it was great to see us redeem ourselves after the game that never happened. With a little luck, we'd be going to AC. We hit two crossbars in third and one in second OT and had a goal disallowed by quick whistle.
Miller didn't reach 100 points but gave it all, especially on PK when we were down 9-0 on Sat and blocked two shots and stayed on ice until pick was out if zone despite fact he was hurt while blocking first shot and could barely skate.
Ryan was fabulous in Game 3. Great efforts by so many others.

Well, sure, but the team checked in just as you checked out.

I THINK WE'VE FOUND OUR JINX.
