But he can put the puck in the back of the net net and ruffle opponents feathers a bit too

Which of course makes it that much better.

Interested to see what Barron gets.. He was the best player on the ice almost every game this yr. It didnt always lead to pts though

He's the best defensive forward out there in addition to everything else.  I just don't know whether that can cut through (1) points and (2) Harvard Bias^TM.

Right, like in the Clarkson game he hit a post and crossbar, I believe; his wrist shot that caught the crossbar was so hard that Marotte didn't seem to move.

For my money Barron should be ECAC player of the year.

[Give My Regards]

Don't know if this has been pointed out elsewhere, but in addition to being Cornell's first-ever four-time All-Ivy first-team selection, Yanni has played in every game of his Cornell career -- 133 so far.

Jeremy Downs holds the record for games played in a Cornell career with 138.

I fear the woofing gods, so somebody else can do the math.

Jeremy Downs holds the record for games played in a Cornell career with 138.

I fear the woofing gods, so somebody else can do the math.

Best case for number of games: We have to play an ECAC QF game 3, and play in the ECAC Final.  That means he breaks the record at the NCAA Regional Semifinal.
If we win out: He breaks the record at the NCAA Regional Final game.
Worst case for number of games: We sweep ECAC QF and lose in the ECAC Semis. That would require a Frozen Four appearance to break Downs' record.

[Trotsky]

The worst case for number of games is we are swept in the ECAC QF.

[CU2007]

The worst case for number of games is we are swept in the ECAC QF.

Assuming he's healthy, the fewest he could play is 3. If I was Vegas, I might put the O/U at 5.5
