This offense can score on anyone but our defense and FOGOs are not ready for Syracuse.

Our #1 FOGO is hurt, right?  We looked completely overmatched at FO late.

Syracuse?  First there's PSU, Towson and Yale.

Our #1, Racimovicz, is not a great improvement over what is on the field now.  I think Graham is coming along, but needs better wing play.  I think the second outright faceoff win and attempt at another goal was not a good play.  He needed to pull it out and run some clock with our full offense.  It seemed after his shot was saved Albany caught fire.  I'd continue with Graham and go with frosh Goaltender Ierland.  Bullen, after his World Games stretch, has been a disappointment to me, and should have been better on those outside shots.  Also, we got a terrible whistle today.  And a terrible no whistle.

At this point, I'm hoping we can get one win in the next 3 games.  I'd be ecstatic with two.

There's no disgrace losing to PSU or Yale. I HATE losing to Syracuse.

I'm not especially fond of losing to anyone, disgrace or no disgrace.  So I'll fret over Syracuse when the time comes.

Quote from: semsoxI'm still upset about whatever the call was against Wallace after he stripped the Albany player near the start of this run.

Yep that was great defense. Awful call. It's time for the freshman goalie.

Well, Syracuse lost today in OT to UVA.  It was a great game to watch.

I saw part of it. Both teams looked in great form.

Cornell's offense is national championship worthy. Unfortunately, the defense/goaltending doesn't seem to be. At least not yet.

Also seems the shotclock rule has led to way more face offs - where we do not excel.

Great shot of the game winner.. Also Donville's backhander.

really, considering the penalty and face off issues, Cornell was much the better team. Still blowing the 5 goal lead with the Albany goalie making multiple tough saves to keep the run alive would have been bad..

One thing is you cant blow 5-6 goal 4th quarter leads unless you have them.  has any other team been up 4-5-6 goals in the 4th three times this year?  now they have to learn how to protect them.

Was impressed with Andrews at faceoff X. He is tough and fast.  Albany was winning faceoffs with wing play.  Cornell's wings just couldn't seem to come up with ground balls on a consistent basis.
