Only the televised version. The Twitch stream will be live.

Getting healthy was the only thing that mattered coming into this series. From the Sun:

Schafer said Tuesday he's hopeful that junior forward and co-captain Mitch Vanderlaan, who missed the last month of the regular season, will suit up this weekend.

"[Vanderlaan is] a really great player for the whole sheet of ice, all 200 feet," Rauter said of his co-captain. "So especially with him back I think we'll be extra lethal."

Junior defensemen Brendan Smith and Alec McCrea are also healthy, as is freshman forward Cam Donaldson.

Let's hope the Red absolutely blitzes QU, so that Vanderlaan, in what will hopefully be only a two-game series, can play as little as possible so that he can move from a "hopeful" to a definite.

We can hope, but that aint gonna happen.  It's going to be nip and tuck all the way.  I'll be extremely pleased and relieved just to get by them.  Think 2006.

No mention of Malott.  As far as we know he's good to go, right?

You kids are about to get a treat.

"The Cornell men's hockey team's postseason begins with its final home games of the season, when it hosts Quinnipiac this weekend in a best-of-three ECAC Hockey Championship quarterfinal series at Lynah. The entire series will be broadcast through the platforms of Eleven Sports USA, with Grady Whittenburg handling play-by-play with color commentary from Will LeBlond."

Grady is the second best hockey play by play I've ever heard, after Dean Vrooman in Portland.  He was with Cornell for 13 seasons (I had no idea it was that long).  We've been blessed to have a string of terrific announcers in Grady, Adam, and Jason, but Grady is in a class by himself.

It's a shame you didn't get to enjoy Roy Ives....   He was the best...   Take a radio to the game & compare his play-by-play to the action on the ice....  He's the most accurate of the bunch... And, it's not even close.

ACM has told me about how good Roy was.  I may have caught a few years of him.  My first year was 81-82.  Not sure when he left.  But honestly I didn't listen to them on radio until later.

Since he recovered from the injury he sustained at Colgate, Jeff Malott has been healthy.

Thanks.  I thought he might have had a second "dinging."

Actually the guy before Roy Ives who would reconstruct games from the telegraph wire was actually the best.

With the caveat that I didn't expect to blow Colgate out in the 1991 and 1996 quarterfinals, I agree with Greg. I do not expect this to be an easy series for Cornell. Keep in mind that Cornell hasn't had many blowouts since beating Princeton on January 5.

In January I made plans for Sunday, March 11. Now I regret it.

I'm not counting gamemisconductitis as a bona fide injury.

I'm uptight about this series.  As others have said I think it will be close; I think we're looking at more one-goal games, and I just hope our success in close games will carry us through.
