Cornell at Union, 2/12/22

[Trotsky]

Well, this has been a great span of play.  3-1, 10 mins to play.

[Trotsky]

3 even strength goals in one period.  Huh.

[Dafatone]

We won a game!

[CU2007]

Deserved that one and it was much needed.

[ugarte]

union didn't look all that good so it was nice to beat them.

apropos of nothing but the late ping, i can't believe that sullivan mack can't buy a goal. he seems to constantly come close.

Huzzah!

[Trotsky]

Win 3 of the final 4 RS and we get the bye.

[BearLover]

Good win, but once again, I think our goalies need to be more aware, use their stick more aggressively, and guard the crease better. I think Galajda would have sticked away one or both of the Union goals before the Union player touched the puck.

Win 3 of the final 4 RS and we get the bye.

You are assuming that Colgate doesn't win out?

Love all of the heartfelt chatter in these game logs, but let's face facts: Cornell is just not that good. The scores don't lie. Wins and losses are how teams are judged. Winning teams make good breaks and good luck fall their way; losing teams the opposite, No very good team loses and ties a slew of bottom-dwelling teams for weeks on end. A few years ago, Princeton had one of their usual poor regular seasons, then turned on the jets in the playoffs and won the ECACs. That will be Cornell's only chance this year.

As Bill Parcells once said:  You are what your record says you are.   I agree.
Now, let's hope for a run through the playoffs.

But our record is good. It's not great. But we're 10-7 in regulation with 8 games going to OT (let's just call those ties). That's nothing to get super pumped about, but it certainly falls on the good side of things.

Everyone's mad because we hit a skid. Doesn't mean it's been a bad year overall.

True...  But it does mean that we have been bad in that recent stretch (until the Saturday game).

When Union was a national contender -- beat Minnesota in 2014 for the NCAA title -- those 2,225 seats were not nearly enough. Eight years later, regression to mean streets for the Dutchmen.

Win 3 of the final 4 RS and we get the bye.

Of which two RS games are Clarkson and Quinnipiac. Regardless, to make the NCAA tournament, we probably have to win the ECAC title, so we have to take down Q someplace. Whether we're 4 or 5, unless a 10-11-12 seed wins in the quarterfinals (and they reseed, yes?), we play Quinnipiac in the early game Friday. Q knows they get an NCAA berth.
