11/14/2017: Cornell @ Princeton

[Swampy]

With a big win last night and Harvard looming next weekend, this has the trappings of a classic trap game. Let's hope the team is up for this. Go Red!

P.S. Accidentally entered the date as 11/14; should be 11/4. I don't know how or if I can change this.

Agreed, and Princeton improved a lot down the stretch last year and should not be taken lightly.

Whether it's -outs, towel/t-shirt giveaways, pizza bribery for students, requiring a multi-game package purchase, or just jacking up ticket $ for a "premium game," just about every school in the league has tried to neutralize our fan presence.

Maybe Yale being the exception?

Didn't notice much presence last night at Q. Saw quite a few Cornell shirts, hats, etc., but most Cornell cheers seemed to come only from the band. And despite the amount of red, Q fans outnumbered us probably by 5:1 or more.

But then I'm spoiled. I'm used to going to Brown games, where we usually outnumber Brown fans for hockey and match them for lacrosse. ::cheer::

[Trotsky]

Q was sparse.  I was surprised.  Easily heard Cornell cheers late.

The camera operator is giving me motion sickness.

Kaldis scores to make it a 4-3 Cornell deficit. About 11 minutes left in the 2nd. This one has the making of a shootout.

[Trotsky]

4-4 now.  Really loosey goosey.

[marty]

For those with 2 screens and wandering eyes. Gate made it 3-1 over the Deerticks with 0.3 sec left in the second. ESPN3 has the 3rd coming up.

[MattShaf]

5-4 Cornell Brendan Locke gives Cornell the lead.

There was a large contingent of Cornell fans in Section 115 and neighboring sections. The local Cornell clubs had sold over 100 tickets, and our corner of the rink was starting "Let's Go Red" chants on a regular basis throughout the game.

happy for the win; annoyed that even though it was on ILN there were no video updates or a final highlight package. were they not recording?

Cornell's first goal, on the power play, was a Thing of Beauty. As I recall it, Beau Starrett muscled possession of the puck along the back boards, passed to Jeff Malott on one side of the net, who passed to Alec McRea top of the circle on the other side, who had a wide-freaking-open lane. Bam, 1-0, less than 2 minutes in.

Be interesting to see who's in goal Friday night vs. Dartmouth. Galajda allowed 3 goals on 9 shots and was replaced by Stewart (1 GA on 14 shots). But everybody said Galajda looked so good the week before vs. UAH, and against Q almost getting the shutout.

It was good to see Cornell hung in there and chipped away at Princeton's 4-2 lead in the second period and tie it up by the end of the period.
