Enough talk about who's coming and where we'll stay, it's time to get talking about the games. Here to start it is USCHO's Nate Owen's pregame report.

Never a high-scoring team this season, the Big Red's offense took a hit with the loss of forward Dustin Mowrey, who Schafer said is out for the year.

Edit: New information only if you didn't watch Schafer's press conference.

Cornell will be very tough. They are physically the biggest team in College Hockey in both height and weight. The last time we played you we needed stretcher bearers to carry off our dead and wounded during the ceasefire. I think we lost three starters from that game and that really hurt, especially Carr. It was very costly. Cornell is well disciplined, always follows through on their checks and has been a "top 10" on team defense (8th currently) in College hockey. That defense is anchored by one of the premier college hockey goalies, Andy Iles. It is very hard to get shots by him as Clarkson recently found out. Early in the year your power play led the nation. You are ahead of us on the penalty kill.

Most troubling of all, Cornell always plays at another level when in tournaments or big games. We saw this two years ago when you upset Michigan in the NCAA's. One of the reasons is that they are so well coached. Make no mistake about that. We are also going up against one of the best coaches in College hockey. If there is a way for Cornell to win, Schafer will have it figured.

We have several positives on our side but as Coach Bennett said in one of the news conferences, the team that wants it the most, when the puck drops .....

It was to our advantage to play a very big and tough and physical Dartmouth team as preparation but the same can be said about your games with Clarkson.

If we manage a win against Cornell ..... the heros are going to be The Captain (defense) and Ghost (defense) and Stevens. With the big ice we need to take away the added time and space from the Cornell forwards. Win or lose, I hope our casualty count is not high, going into the NCAA.

Hey Dutchman, I hope no one gets hurt in the game.  We just want to win and play you guys again in April.  Good luck for the rest of the season.

Ugh.  Not sure if I'm more annoyed by the fact that I couldn't get out of work and missed the first period, that the bar I raced to with full directv package doesn't get fox sports ATLANTIC, or that we're losing 2-0.  Not a good day so far...

I'm SO happy the ECAC is better now!  I'm really going to be pulling for Union in the NCAA's!!
