Cornell vs. Yale 02/13/2015

Yale expected to only have 16 healthy skaters for this weekend's games. Since we're playing them on the second night of back-to-back games, hopefully fatigue will be a factor for their top players as the game wears on.

Let's not get too overconfident:

Quote from: Chip Malafronte, New Haven RegisterYale, which also used 17 skaters against Dartmouth last Friday, combined to score seven goals, most in a single weekend since tallying nine at the season-opening Capital City Classic ....

"It's tough to play three lines, but at the same time, it's good," said junior forward Mike Doherty. "You're out there every other shift; you get in a good rhythm. I personally like it. I've talked to a couple of guys about it, and they like keeping things short, too."
...
Yale, with just one loss since Dec. 5, long ago hit its stride. Confidence remains high with a short bench ...

This happened a few years ago with, I think, Q. They killed us.

Just my two cents.....

LGR!!

Not looking good down 3-1 in 3rd.

Building their overconfidence...

Ah well, that was just an ass-kicking. :-/

A bye is all but out of reach now, and we appear destined for a QF road loss. Sad fate for a season that began with so much promise.

This game had the same appearance as the Dartmouth game; they looked tired. Being a Friday night game, I'm certain they weren't tired. So, what is it? I'm thinking the right word is "dis-spirited". This team played with a fire in their belly earlier (in the season) that is just not there any longer. Could it be that the pressure (by Mike) to play his system & do every single right thing at every single right moment in the game, has taken the fun out of the game for these guys? It surely looks that way!!!

Watching Yale play, they were having fun and not standing back worrying about making the right play. Allain is allowing them to use their athletic abilities to create plays. What a concept!!

only 4 pts only out of 4th is not really out of reach. if we win all 4 its pretty simple to tie for 4th without any upsets at all being required. tie breakers i dont know.

us winning 4 in a row though..

Andy sits behind me at the men's hockey games.... His mouth never shuts up, even during the playing of the national anthem (very disrespectful, Andy!!). That type type of constant chatter is usually indicative of someone who is not a deep thinker.....

In contrast, I used to sit in front of Laing Kennedy, who said very little, and what he did say was usually fascinating and well thought out.

Clearly we need more hockey people has ADs.

Eh we were never as good as we looked at the beginning of the season, and we're not as bad as we look now, although the true talent is surely closer to this end of the spectrum. If this season is the one that gets us a fresh start in the coaching department, the collapse will be well worth it.

If we lost our next 20 I doubt Noel would fire Schafer.
