::cheer:: "Go Cornell!!

[Jim Hyla]

Nice.

[Johnny 5]

Thank you, sir!
This was the pre-Christmas break movie for my students every year as a reward for their hard work.
Many of them can still recite every line.
Strangely enough, the drama club is presenting Spamalot this year. Funny never dies?
Here's hoping it's a omen!!

:-D Again, many thanks! One more chance to support the program. Glad to be able to contribute, even in this small way.

This is going to be one hell of a series. The teams match up well, play similar games, and although this is cliche I think it's going to come down to who wants it most. Cornell has had their system and consistency pay off for them in the regular season games, working back from two third-period deficits for ties. Clarkson has to have two things to win: killer instinct and consistent defense. We have to be able to put Cornell away. 1-2 goal leads aren't going to do it, because if games go to overtime, Cornell's endurance and play style will wear us out. We don't have enough power in the corners to stay with them physically for 4 periods of hockey a night, and I think we all saw that as the team wore down in the 3rd period to give up the leads this season.

Clarkson needs to score early and get out to 2-3 goal leads if at all possible, and hang on for dear life. We're playing great and our seniors have showed UP the last two weekends (10 points each for Josephs and deHaas in the last 3 games?!?!?) and if that continues, we have a strong shot at Lake Placid. If they regress to the mean, we're in trouble.

It will be a very good series.  These teams have a storied history of post-season meetings.

Not that I wasn't happy then, but I like this one.

Second game in best of three series, with mini-game if necessary? I'm inferring from the fact that Clarkson pulled their goalie in a scoreless game.
