Cornell vs. UNH scores and updates- spoilers inside

Hey Avash,

Go SCREW YOURSELF!!!!  You are the most pathetic fan I have ever seen!

Best,

Ha, why? Because I'm pointing out that we didn't play well for the majority of the game? ::rolleyes::  I don't really see what's wrong with pointing that out. Given, that particular post was written right after we lost, and I was angry and upset, and it might be a little more toned down now, but I still maintain that even though the first few minutes were decent, even though the last few minutes were decent, it was the team's responsibility to lift each other up after the disallowed goal, and for some reason, they didn't.

Don't question how good of a fan I am either. Anyone who knows me will tell you that hockey, and Cornell hockey especially, is what I talk about all day long.

Fair enough, Graham. I agree with most of what you are saying.

Now that I'm perfectly calm ;-) ...

I'm certainly not saying that the season didn't mean anything. It meant so, so much, and I'm just upset it's not going to continue.

That said, I really hope Lenny comes back next year, because despite what we're losing, I think we really get back to this level again.

ok i wasnt hopeing he was seriously hurt (especially after exter, that shit wasn't funny) but it's an advantage when someone on the other team (especially a goalie) is tired out or has pulled a muscle. If he was taken off the ice and couldn't play for the rest of the season, i wouldn't have said that. but he was fine, so obviously it was just a bruise, that could of given us a tiny advantage if our players had stepped up. the kid's ok, we lost and thats the end of it. anything else you want to jump on my case about? i'm not in the mood. we have other things to worry about then my comment about the goalie's groin.

By the way, I like how you went from a discussion of the hockey team's performance today to an unwarranted personal attack. If that makes you feel better about things, fine, but I'm not about to counter it with an attack on you - especially since I don't pretend to know anything about you at all.

I'd rather talk about just what went wrong today. It's quite obvious that everyone, including myself, is a bit on edge due to the disappointment, but I don't think this is the time for a Red fan to insult another.

You said:
 
"I don't want hear all this bullshit about "oh it was a great season, so gratifying, etc. etc." On the biggest moment of their hockey lives so far, every single one of them choked."

You are absolutely wrong.  They outplayed UNH 3/4 of the game.  You must have been watching another game b/c I thought they were all giving 100%.  Maybe they didn't play their best game of the year, but you can't say the didn't put the effort out there.  We had so many chances and Ayers had a fantastic game.  I call you pathetic b/c right when they don't win one game you say you aren't satisfied with our season.  This is arguably the 2nd best Cornell hockey team EVER and you turn your back on them 5 minutes after their final game.  That is why you SUCK!  

Best,
Ogie

I think that passions are running a bit high and we all need to calm down and have a nice big group hug....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMM. I feel better now.

A lot happened that game both good and bad. The controversy aside, it was not our best effort. We dug a deep deep hole. We darn near climbed out. They came within a hair of another miraculous combeack.

I know that the team is sick of moral victories but they scored another today. It was 3-0. They did not fold.

One other silver lining. Could this leave Lenny a bit hungry? Hungry enough to return?

Funny. You picked that quote right before I was about to edit it out as I, "upon review," also decided that it was too harsh and written without much thought behind it.

Now just for one minute, give me a break. I was just as upset as everybody else was. Am I satisfied with what we accomplished this season? Yes, but I really thought we had a terrific chance to go all the way.

And as for your final comment about me turning my back on them, that's just absurd. Never did, never will, despite me being upset over what happened today.

Any other reasons why I suck?

Lenny will return.  He won't want to go out like that.  The kid is a trooper.  He'll be back, and so will the rest of our boys.  (Ok, the 44 year old alum has to go back to work now....).

Oh chill, they looked great for most of the game. Do you honestly think shane Hynes meant to high-stick.? They didn't look they bad, UNH is just a great team. Lenny should not have let in the last two goals, but that's life. Baby hit a helmet and Paolini hit a post. These things happen. Get over it. It was a great season.

I have always maintained that you could/should/would win a game if and when you put 30+ shots on goal.  We did not today, and it did not surprise me that we lost.  Experience counts, as evidenced in our run in the ECAC tournament and the early rounds of NCAA.  But, not having been to a Frozen Four since before most of the players were born, well, that put us at a disadvantage, as Mike Schafer so correctly pointed out in the press conference.  The team did show up to play early on, but they seemed to have let the disallowed goal get the better of them and lost their usual game plan (I glean this from the articles, not from the radio broadcast, as I was in a meeting this morning CA time).

Sigh...I so wanted the magic to continue.  :-/

I'm gonna have to agree with ogie on this one, avash.  It's alright to be upset and frustrated, we all are.  But to question the team's preparation, motivation, or effort in this game is just not right.  This was a great season for Cornell Hockey, and will help future teams, especially in the recruiting department.  

Sure, the guys didn't play their best in the second, but if you think they weren't playing their hearts out in the third, then you must have been watching a game.

If you're a fan, you should support them in defeat as well as victory.  Otherwise you're just a bandwaggoner.

---A different game, even.

[Section A]

Oh come on, just because of what I said doesn't mean I don't still support them. Alright, so I agree, they got some tough breaks today. After this settles in a bit, the team will look back and be proud of what happened this year, just like I will.

How about we end the bickering now? Fair enough?

[nobody@nowhere.com]

Criticizing the team's effort after a heart-breaking 1 goal loss in the biggest game of the year doesn't seem like support to me.    Neither does saying "Our players should be embarassed with themselves. It's the Frozen Four, and they didn't come to play. So much for the season. Seriously - this is absolutely pathetic." during the middle of the friggin game.  

You should be embarassed with yourself.  You support the team when things are going well, yet turn on them as soon as they struggle a little.  There are words for people like you....
