Arizona State game thread

[BearLover]

Funny listening to the announcers repeat again and again who on ASU was drafted by whom. Dude, we get it already. Though, it is a little concerning ASU, which is in literal Arizona, started a D-1 hockey program seven years ago and has more draft picks (6) than Cornell (4), when we've been a top-5 program in the country the past five years.

considering the ecac this yr we have to play lights out thru the conf schedule to get any chance at a PWR at large bid.

This just isn't gonna happen.  Our chance at the NC$$ is the ECAC title, and the ECAC title is itself a goal worthy of a season.

We will have our chances in the future after the conference gets back on its feet post-plague, but for this year and probably next year, just enjoy the ride and then hope for a nice little run to give us a chance in Placid.

Huh? It is certainly more like Cornell earns an at-large bid than that they win the ECAC. Cornell is currently 18th in the pairwise. They need only to slightly exceed their start to this season (6-1-4 against poor competition) the rest of the way to earn an at-large bid.

They aren't going to run the table, they have been very lucky.  We act like it's just a given they'll go .900 down the stretch.  They won't -- even as a good team team they will go something like 13-5, and that's assuming they don't have a tough skein.

Cornell's current PWR win% is .73, not .90. Going 13-5 the rest of the way might just about do it.

yeah can't believe anyone would want a scholarship to go to a party school where you never need a coat

Also voted in the top 10 prettiest coeds consistently for the last 40 years.

feelin' salty sorry everyone

Suboptimal.

Garbage goal is right, as called by the pbp guy.

[BearLover]

By far the worst goaltending at Cornell since '06-'07.

More worried that this bears no resemblance to any type of Cornell system.

The 2nd wasn't a great period, but we looked good in the 1st and we've had a better go of it in the 3rd, other than the scoreboard.

Weak goaltending makes everything look worse. Howe has had great stretches, but he hasn't looked the same since he got hurt.

Hilarious that the PBP guy talked about ASU maybe being able to "impress the committee"for an NCAA bid.

To be fair, the committee doesn't use the Pairwise, but a mysterious process that closely resembles the Pairwise. Allegedly.

[scoop85]

We had a great start to the 3rd, but our poor power play seemed to sap our momentum.
