Harvard 2 @ Cornell 3, 11/11/17

[scoop85]

The 3 Harvard fans out there who post on the USCHO forum are predictably whining about the officiating at the end of the game.

I didn't know Teddy had the USCHO app on his phone.

Bench minor. ::laugh::

Referring to the officiating, Teddy apologized to his team "for the [lack of] competency we saw out there as well."

Schafer's gotten suspended for less

was the reffing all that bad down the stretch.. the charging call was a good one, and the cornell contact they complained about was barely a touch.. the late tripping was a trip, although surprised they called it that late, but then after ripping the refs and getting a bench minor they may have caused it themselves.

they did let the 2nd harvard goal count when they took out the goalies legs, but I thought that call was Ok, even though we have seen far less count as contact.

Agree on all above.

Everything about the play to set up the GWG is amazing. McCrea fumbles the pass but the glue on the blue line holds the puck in.

Barron beats a Harvard guy to the puck in the corner so badly that the guy can't even cut him off - and he falls down trying.

McCrea floats into open space to the left of the goalie and starts frantically banging his stick, which Barron hears.

Barron swoops around the net and fires a pass to McCrae's tape.

McCrea cocks the hammer as the pass comes in because he knows time is tight and one-times it.

I still keep replaying it in my head.

The highlights on youtube show clearly the "Harvard guy" grabbing and briefly holding the hem of Barron's sweater while falling in an attempt to stop or slow him.

I love the Harvard guy in the right foreground:  shoulders and arms just sagging in despair.

Every Harvard player should look like that for now and evermore.

is it ILDN or the feed from WHCU still going old school across multiple lines to get to the internet.. last I knew the stream was going out of the building on cable lines to a another building then being converted and feed back to a fiber line and sent to ILDN where ever that is and then out to us..

This is all kind of over my head, but whatever it is, its pathetic in 2017.

Turns out on close examination that "Harvard guy" was Ryan Donato.

Malott's goal was a thing of beauty. The Harvard player he beat so decisively was #26, Jacob Olson. While neither is a NHL draft pick, Olson was nonetheless voted the top high-school defenseman in Minnesota and played on a US U18 select team. So he's not exactly chopped liver. Malott so thoroughly beating a player of Olson's calibre says quite a bit about Malott's ability. This should be tempered by the fact that although Olson is a junior and Malott is only a sophomore, Malott is about six months older than Olson.

This obviously ranks up with the greatest Harvard Games of all time and might be the best hockey game I've seen in person (and I've been lucky to see some pretty good ones). Not 2003 ECAC final status, of course (I wasn't there), but in the running for best regular season Harvard clash. 2013-14 (another 2-goal comeback plus Lowry's late-OT winner) is another candidate, as is 2014-15 (Freschi scoring with under a minute to go; Harvard ranked #4). I would give the nod to Saturday night because of the comeback, the McRae Harvard decommit storyline, the fact both teams should be good this year (with Harvard coming off a Frozen Four appearance), the wild ending including the bench minor, and the fact the goal was scored with two seconds remaining.

EDIT: 2013-14 was on Senior Night--maybe have to give it to that one, then.

It's really a shame that such a good discussion of this great game is doomed to be buried in THIS THREAD.

I agree (I hate this thread's title, but that's another story.), but next time start a game thread. That would probably solve it.

Working on it. Give me five more minutes.

EDIT: Okay, I didn't manage to retain anything resembling chronological order, but at least it's all now on its own thread. I did it kind of quickly to avoid complications, so if anybody spots anything that should really belong in the Big Thread, please let me know and I'll try to correct it.

Great work.  Thank you.
