[Trotsky]

The return of Mad Max & etc.

[Al DeFlorio]

Gave up a weak goal there.

This team can't sit on a lead when it matters.

Locking down leads used to be or trademark

Good thing we're not a bubble team.

Scoring down low and outmuscling teams also used to be our trademark.

This is a very different Cornell team. We've traded our usual strengths for speed and firepower.

Ugh. Any team that employs that goon Emeliofonwu is just so frustrating to lose to.

Even speedy teams should know how to be strong with the puck, clear the zone with authority, and not give up odd man rushes.

I actually thought about adding to my last post exactly that point.

No Trotsky, this is my fault.  The hockey gods didn't like me wearing my Cornell sweatshirt while walking around Lake Placid this afternoon.

Cornell should have won this game 5-3. Puck was literally sitting on the Union goal line or Union crease on three separate occasions at least. Union is another one of those classic ECAC bush-league teams that can't ever seem to play a clean game.

I do think this team struggles to put away those chances more than bigger stronger Cornell teams of years past. For all our speed and firepower, we don't get as many good looks in transition as I'd like.

I didn't think Union was THAT dirty, other than that one guy whose name sounds like a dorky musical instrument and somehow ends in -wu.

really though there were probably 5 times the puck did everything but go in, the goalie had no idea and it hit things or we just missed the puck.  at least twice we were putting it in the net when we were tackled too.

a little too cute cost as as well. but still some really nice passing and great corner work for the entire game. what is it about albany teams. thats 3 games where we dominated rpi/union and got 2 losses and a tie out of it.
