Yale at Cornell 2/17

[BearLover]

Not pretty, but we got the job done.

I thought it was pretty. Outside of the idiotic penalties, undermanned Cornell controlled play and created chances from start to finish, and completely negated Yale's final rush--basically the opposite of last night, even though both were wins. This was one of the games that makes me confident Cornell deserves a season like the one they've had.

My comment was around the penalties mostly.

Comments that our shooting percentage was artificially high may be apt. We got a lot of chances tonight and controlled play very well, but a lot of those chances didn't go in.

Enough did, though! Undefeated in Ivy play. Damn.

listening to pre-game they didnt think the friday penalty was all that bad.   the kid tripped over a stick and planted himself.

The Yale goalie made a couple saves in close that turned Yates' hair prematurely grey.

This was a good win against a hot team and a very, very good goalie.

Take it and smile.

I just saw the highlights of the game, and I'm surprised (pleasantly so) that they didn't review our 3rd goal, as Tchantz was pretty close to the Yale goalie and from the admittedly long view I wondered if Tchantz at all impeded the goalie's lateral movement.

But no one on Yale seemed to gripe, so it probably wasn't as close as it may have seemed to me.

I agree with that.  Tonight was bad, though, and 2 in two games will make the league take notice.

As we were talking about on the Chat, Yanni Kaldis had the game of his life tonight.  He was everywhere.

He'll be all ECAC 1st team you would think, and certainly in the running for All-American

The voters seem to stupidly only look at numbers for those honors, and at under half-a-point per game, Kaldis's numbers don't jump out. He logs a massive number of minutes per game and skates circles around opponents, but he turns the puck over a decent amount and I'm not even sure he's the best defenseman on the team (which says more about the defensemen on the team than it does about Kaldis).

I was in the chat but also in section O. As Yanni was working his magic I was in awe.  I didn't expect the goal but he deserved more than half the credit.

The highlight of the night for me was the 3rd goal. I yelled YES! before Mullin touched the puck!

It looks like total wins is the 2nd tiebreaker after head-to-head record. If we lose both next week and Union wins both, they go 17-5 and we go 16-4-2, giving them the tiebreak.

Yes.

Seeding for championship competition is based on total points accumulated during league contests. In the event teams are tied in the final regular-season standings, the following tiebreakers (listed in order of application) shall be used to determine seeding. (Note: Only League games apply):

1. Comparison of game results between tied teams (head to head).
2. Wins.
3. Comparison of results of games against the top four teams.
4. Comparison of results of games against the top eight teams.
5. Goal differential in head-to-head competition.
6. Goal differential in games against the top four teams.
7. Goal differential in games against the top eight teams.

In the case of ties among three or more schools, the criteria will be used in order until a team, or teams, is separated from the pack. At that point, the process will begin anew to break the "new" tie. In other words, when a four-way tie becomes a three-way tie, the three-way tie is treated as a "new" tie and the process begins with the first criterion.

[Trotsky]

I thought record versus the top 4 was the 2nd tiebreaker.

You're not crazy.  That's the way it used to be.

There was definitely contact between Tschantz and the goalie, but he was being shoved (cross checked) from the backside by a Yale player
