cornell - quin sat night

[upprdeck]

Ok.. Im confused how can you not at least replay the game winning goal with 2 min 2 go?  crease violation or contact maybe/maybe not but dont you have to take a look?

[dag14]

I had the sound off during the third period.  Was there an explanation for no review?

[upprdeck]

nothing other than SS asking for one and the refs just skating away.. after seeing the overhead replay even more reason to question why no replay?  i thought if you asked for one they almost had to? we had a TO to ask for one.

Disappointing that we didn't at least get a review on the only goal of the game. However, the larger concern about this game, and the season, is that we can't score.
 We had a full minute of a two-man advantage and a four-minute powerplay and had no good scoring chances on either one. Our best scoring chances came at 5-on-5. When you watch us play, it's hard to tell the difference between our first line and our third line. Our first line of Bardreau, Lowry and McCarron doesn't play like a first line. When you saw Quinnipiac's first line of Anas and Pecca (before he got ejected) and Smith, it looked like a dangerous line. Every time Anas had the puck in our zone and a little space, you had to hold your breath. Our second and third lines had as many scoring chances as our first line, which wasn't many.
We almost pulled it off, but you can't come in to any game expecting that your best bet to get a point is to get a scoreless tie. Part of our lack of offense is due to Ryan's absence. It also looks like Ferlin's departure is going to hurt us significantly. You can't teach offensive creativity, but you can teach players to put the puck on the net, to get their shots off faster and to crash the net, looking for a rebound or a garbage goal. When you give up 6 goals in 4 games, you expect to win a few of them. But when you score three goals in six games, you're lucky if you're going to win any of them.
With no Cornell pep band and no goals for most of the night (and thankfully no thundersticks!), this was the quietest I've heard the Q rink. But you could see Q's goal coming, as they were keeping the puck in our end and putting a lot of pressure on our defense. By contrast, we had one SOG the entire third period. Hopefully, one of these nights we'll get a few good bounces and the goals will start flowing. Otherwise, it's going to be a long season.

Varsity hockey teams now sit at combined 0-7-1 and football is 0-8.  Thinking I should look forward to basketball.  Oh, wait...

[CAS]

Yup, basketball has lost 32 of its last 33 D-1 games, and it's top scorer transferred to Vandy. Tough times in Ithaca

[scoop85]

The glory days of 2010 seem like a century ago

[Trotsky]

SOG in the third period were 19-1, Q.

[Dafatone]

From what I saw of the PP, it seemed we were focusing too hard on setting up one timers from the point.  Which is a fine thing to go for, but when your three men on the blue line are covered by three defenders, don't you have to work the puck behind the net and then pass it back out?  A lot of shots off of Q's ankles.

[TimV]

Score?  SCORE???  We can't even shoot!  We DON'T even shoot! Get bounces?  It's not a matter of getting bounces.  We play horrible, atrocious offensive hockey.  How does Yale recruit offensive players?  How does freakin'UNION for gawd's sake?  I'm frustrated as hell. Lacrosse season can't get here fast enough.

How about 'rasslin season? :-P

First, I think we have a regit goalie in Mitch. He is keeping  us in games.
We don't get offense minded recruits because of the system. Third in the country presently in team  defense and dead last in offense.
Outshot 19-1 in last period is ridiculous. Stats are for losers usually but these don't lie.
I am a Shafer fan but this style of hockey is outdated especially with current rule changes.
The question is, if you were a top recruit with professional aspirations, why would you come to Cornell to play.
Not panic time yet but there could be a lot of crickets at Lynah if this continues.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

watching the game with the sound off i would never have guessed the shots were that bad in the 3rd. the play seemed up and down cornell had the puck a decent amount on the offensive end.
