Opponents News 2: Hockey's the Reason for the Season

[KenP]

One goal was on the D.  the breakway we had tremendous pressure and were taking pot shots and the puck just deflected into the perfect spot for a breakaway. the bounce was a bad bounce off the boards, a lucky kick off the Attacker skate, then 2 deflections off the Cornell D for an own goal..  Even the empty netter we controlled the puck for almost the 4 min we pulled the goalie and had tons of chances.

I don't think the third goal was even a defensive breakdown. I remember McCrea giving Veronneau a bit too much space while skating back in transition but I wouldn't necessarily call it a "breakdown"

My original comment was responding to statement that our D was weak because they gave up 4 goals.  He left his guy wide open.  IMO blame goes to the defense for that one.  The other three goals were not attributable to them.

They just showed a replay on TV and you're right. Wow, that was way more space than I remembered. The best non-Donato scorer in the league left wide open.

Guys I am really glad to see leave.  Either Cornell killers or very, very talented players.

No one has left Cornell because it is a great school.

Is this the thread where Trotsky wants to know which players are leaving early for his standings predictions? RPI has seven such players, three who are going to greener pastures and four who have been cut. Nothing is official yet but there has been a lot of discussion on USCHO. Eight if you count a goalie who played less than three minutes and will stay in school.

So Donato is the only non-senior?

So far, yes.

Nope, that's Early Departures.  We don't need a thread for signings because USCHO tracks it now, but we will need to track transfers and, inevitably, Harvard cheating suspensions.

Denver got destroyed.

Rempal signed with LA.  He's leaving 2 years early.

A surprising departure for one of Clarkson's top freshmen.

And with Rempal's expected departure that was previously announced, Clarkson is losing some of its best firepower.

Wow!  We're pretty much the pre-season #1 by default now.

Angello is gone.. so hope the new kids are good.
