[Trotsky]

Classic trap game.  Careful, lads.

That and some mediocre officiating. It's too bad the team didn't have the energy throughout the first period.

Couple bad breaks but yes need to bounce back from those.

Anyone else seeing a greenish cast on the ice from the center-ice camera? I Cornell has had issues even with its most recent lighting but I've never seen a video this off balance. On my screen. It could be the brain reacting to the game.

Just when I was going to say we have nothing going, we score off that beautiful play.

Really soft goal allowed by Shane to let Princeton ice the game. Also, why was Shane still in the net down by 2 with under 3min to go? He should have been pulled long before that.

Soft? The guy fired a bullet from between the circles off an excellent feed.

The fourth goal? That wasn't soft. It was a really nice play that fooled everyone to get the puck to an open shooter.

[Trotsky]

Oh well.  They certainly gave it the last minute run.  Had Berard potted that one into the empty net it would have been tied before the final minute insanity.

I think he means the deke behind the net.  It was a great play, it wasn't soft.

Looked to me in real time like Shane overplayed the guy with the puck and was left out of position once the guy made the pass, sometime I've noticed all three Cornell goalies do this season. Upon review, the defense was worse than the goaltending on that play. The defenders were embarrassed by both the passer and the shooter and failed to contain either one. Maybe they were gassed at that point.

Ithaca low tonight: -5 F.

Which would explain in part the pathetic crowd.

The crowd is pathetic mostly because Cornell banned fans from purchasing tickets with no prior warning.

We were thinking this could be a 1W 1L weekend. Better the L is today.

That isn't true for PWR.

Going down 3-0 to a Princeton team on a nine-game losing streak (okay, losing by a lesser margin), it's the optics that are harmful.

As opposed to beating P handily Friday, letting Q go up 3-0 Saturday, battling back to lose by only 5-4, that's understandable.

Our comeback in the third period gives Cornell a lift heading into Saturday. And Q was bloodied Friday in that Colgate scored on them. 5-1 Q.

Looking a long way ahead to March and Cornell making it to Lake Placid, it would be nice to avoid Q until the title game.

Cornell looked exhausted by the end of the game. Tomorrow could be ugly.

[Swampy]

Ben Syer's unbeaten streak behind the bench in jeopardy.

Mike was out for the ND series, last weekend, and now. Seems too long. I hope he's not having complications.
