Good article on what to expect.

did they factor in below 20 with 20-30 mph winds and snow bursts.. we just got 2 inches in about 15 min here.

They are doing a great job finding the open man off the double and the slide.

Good first period.  Dreadful second halfway through.

First game issues: bad turnovers, a little hero ball, and falling asleep on defense in the second quarter. Sadly, it looks like the FOGO position will be a problem again this year.

The Albany goalie made some great saves. It felt like Cornell was going to blow them out until the major penalty that led to two Albany goals.

the albany kid made 3-4 big saves or the lead would be like 5-6 still.

Nice win against solid competition. CJ Kirst and Aiden Blake had terrific games. Chayse Ierlan made some great saves and overall looked strong. Freshman Christopher Davis was a ballhawk. He's going to help the team this year.

Man, it was cold at the game, just about 20F. Two hours before gametime, a snow squall dropped visibility to about 100 feet.

Fabulous debut by #15 sophomore CJ Kirst out of NJ prep power Delbarton, same school as Jack Malone

Watched the beginning and Cornell scored 5 without resistance. Next time I looked it was like 9-7 so I watched until the lead was big again.

seemed like both teams hit a wall after the cold set in..  Cornell really played well the last 15min to put it away.

Sadly, it looks like the FOGO position will be a problem again this year.

Petraikis won 61% (46-29) his faceoffs in the partial 2020 season against strong competition, better than then #1 face Rasimowicz.  He was 10-13 today, with at least three of those losses on violations.  Mark Psyllos, his freshman backup and an outstanding faceoff guy in HS, was 2-2. Time will tell more, but I disagree.  The new faceoff rules will not make it easy to win a lot of faceoffs to yourself.  The wing play will be more important than before.

Regan Endres, the UAlbany FOGO, ranked fourth in the American East Conference in 2021. No disrespect, but we were less than 50% against him, and the competition will get a lot tougher.

under 50% isnt the issue.. its when its way under 40% you have problem..  if you go 4-6 you can survive.

To win championships? Not so sure.
