2019-02-08: Cornell 5 Clarkson 0

[Trotsky]

A very important game against an opponent we have beaten just once in the last six RS meetings.

Clarkson band in Section E? That's different.

They decided to put the visitors in the corner rather than in section O.

Holy F... That Regus goal was absolutely insane.

Yep.  Goal of the year.

[Trotsky]

With the win we move to 8 in PWR, at least briefly.

Hope Cornell posts the full replay, showing all the angles and the celebration, rather than just a couple seconds of the goal in real-time, as they've been doing lately on their video page. Speaking of which, who is in charge of putting together the highlights? And why do they not put up the post-game press conferences anymore? I loved watching those.

I've been very impressed with the team this year. To be where they are after losing their three biggest goal scorers from last season is quite a feat. Hope they can keep it up.

I noticed ASU there and took a look at their remaining schedule out of curiousity. They only have 4 games left. Two at home against the American International and then they end the season with a pair of two at Minnesota. It's very likely that they could have an at-large bid locked up at the beginning of March. That would basically mean that 14 spots would be up for grabs assuming no other team outside of the top 16 decides to win its conference tournament.

I think that's a legitimate ESPN Top Ten Plays of the Day candidate.

Agree.  Hope somebody gets it to them.  It was on ESPN+.

Daily Sun twitter said Haiskenan had surgery on the cut forearm and quoted Schafer saying he'll be out "a while."

Mankato tied by Michigan Tech so they drop below Denver, but not quite enough for us to pass them.

Daily Sun twitter said Haiskenan had surgery on the cut forearm and quoted Schafer saying he'll be out "a while."

Well that really sucks...

[Trotsky]

ECAC contenders now in a nearly perfect stepladder:

22 Cornell
21 Quinnipiac
20 Harvard (+1 GP)
19 Yale
18 Clarkson
16 Dartmouth
15 Brown

Goal margins are a very different story:

21 Cornell
23 Quinnipiac
13 Harvard (+1 GP)
+2 Yale
18 Clarkson
-3 Dartmouth
-3 Brown

Surgery for a cut suggests... well, you know.  Tendons.  That had to be one helluva cut.
