From USCHO:

Quinnipiac at Cornell
Enticing matchup: Cornell is 4-2-1 in its last seven, while QU is 5-0-1 in its last six league contests. The advantage definitely rests with the Bobcats however, as Cornell's offense – with nine goals in its last five games – is about as reliable as a pre-owned Mini Cooper. QU wins.

Ouch!
But, looking at their record it doesn't seem as clear cut.
Chance for a Denver or Hahvahd style upset?

We're doomed. ::scared::

Anybody know the injury statuses? McCarron, Fiegl, Bliss, and Ryan all had issues of various severity, IINM.

Willcox, McCarron doubtful per Coach Schafer in IJ:

Senior Joakim Ryan missed eight games in November and December after suffering a hand injury in the opener, and junior Reece Willcox and sophomore Patrick McCarron are currently nursing injuries; their returns are doubtful for this weekend, Schafer said.

Poor Gavin. If he went away for another year and came back as a goalie, they'd still have him on defense.

No mention of last meeting yet?

What's to say? Pecknold's an asshole, but even if he were Lady Byng we'd still have to score goals tonight.

Good news: Willcox is back.

another review goes against cornell some how.. player in the crease called when a puck was in the crease.. strange call when they didnt blow the whistle..

goalie interference might make sense but there were 3-4 guys in the crease and 2 quin D players..

upprdeck · February 06, 2015, 08:50:36 PM

watching the replay. clearly some contact, but also the goalie didnt have control of the puck, add in some contact by the D from behind on hilbreth? too. contact occured outside crease but goalie was half in half out. then as the contact happened both players went into crease and the puck came back out a bit.

they took it away but never even reviewed the play that happened against Quin on the road which was clear goalie interference.

tough loss.. played well most of the night.. the only thing quin has is better team speed. bad played by the goalie cost them the game

The other thing Quinnipiac has is an actual ability to finish scoring chances

Tough loss for Cornell.

The refs made a good call on Cornell's disallowed goal. Hilbrich was clearly in the crease before McCarren shot the puck in the net and he wasn't pushed in.

Toddlose - thanks for the Bardreau video. I watched it in slow motion and I think Mike's anger was appropriate.

I thought you could be in the crease as long as you're not interfering with the play?
