Lake Placid roll call

[redice]

Q outshot Harvard 18-1 in third period. As much as I hate/dislike/detest Q and Pecknold, I give him credit for not being afraid to pull his goalie when the occasion calls for it. I've always felt that Schafer is often too conservative in pulling our goalie when we are trailing in the third period. It paid off on the power-play with 6 minutes left tonight when Pecknold pulled the goalie with his team down by one.

It must have been a fairly easy decision to make.  After all, Q OWNED the puck for most of the 3rd.

Cornell drought goes back to 2010, last ECAC title. Longest in the Lynah Rink era.

I just want us to win when it matters. I bet i can coach better than Schafer (tournaments only).

It wasn't Schafer who landed on top of Matt Galajada in OT of the 2019 title game against Clarkson and required Austin McGrath to come on in relief.

I was gonna say it wasnt just about the 2019 ezac championship game but i guess this habit of doing better in regular season games than tournament games started rather recently. (To be honest, i only started following cornell hockey in 2017 and started retroactively reading up on their history and became mightily disillusioned.)

So, no.

My apologies. I only started following cornell hockey a few years back. My impression of cornell hockey being a team that cracks under pressure got compounded by my traumatic experience of witnessing cornell womens hockey falling to the princeton womens team in the ecac final just before the start of the pandemic. In the last couple years, it just felt like both men and women have been dropping the games that really matter. Im relatively young and impressionable.(i also attended the 18-19 championship game against clarkson in lake placid in person)

Harvard lapping the ECAC in recruiting has come home to roost. Frankly, had last season not been canceled, the 2020-21 Harvard team may been the most talented team in ECAC history post-split with Hockey East. Players who went pro when last season was canceled included Jack Drury, Jack Badini, Jack Rathbone (yes, triple Jack), and Reilly Walsh. Matty Beniers decommitted and went to Michigan, where he is a Hobey Baker finalist this season. Harvard's talent level is off the charts by ECAC standards and Donato is finally figuring out how to win with it. Harvard has always gotten talent, but never like this. I predict Harvard, not Cornell or Quinnipiac or Clarkson, will be the dominant force in the league over the next decade.

They were outshot something like 46 to 15 tonight, so maybe we can hold off on the hagiography.
