[upprdeck]

it also has this fuzzy math for shots

Yale            7    5    24    18
Cornell    26    18    15    31

only concern is steinburg left the ice after getting hit on the hand or wrist early in the period (his glove was still on the ice for seger's goal iirc) and i'm not sure if he's been out on the ice again.

Vanini said Matt's lost glove might actually have confused Hopkins on Seger's goal.

Actually he left both his gloves on the ice.

Breaks 301 minutes without a goal for Yale.

Besides the usual poetic heartbreak for billhoward, I get to put away the post "Hey Yale, It's November, and YOU CAN'T SCORE."

I'd love to see desantis and O'Leary on the same line for a few shifts just to see what would happen.  Who's our fastest/best skating centerman to send out with them?

[CU2007]

Lynah seemed to be louder and more full than the last few years. Could be wrong

O'Leary was just a wrecking ball last night.  But boy is Yale just dreadful. How did that happen?  I think AllIain is an excellent coach-can't recruit?  If you combined Allain and Drury-who can't coach his way out of a paper bag but boy can he recruit-you'd have the worlds greatest coach.

I wonder if Yale admissions hasn't been as generous to Allain as they were a decade ago. That's what happened with Princeton lacrosse in the late Tierney years, leading to his move to Denver.

It was two games Friday: first 50 minutes, excellent execution, some good bounces, Yale shot wide on two gaping (okay, 2 feet on the left side in the second) chances. Then we took penalties in the last 10 minutes esp. the 2-man-down. Shots were like 10-3 in the first, total of 16-4 in the second after the fourth Cornell goal, and 25-6 when the seond period buzzer sounded.

Announced attendance 3,700, every section except the bowl end pretty full by the start of the second period. (photo)

Probably Seger, but I'd switch DeSantis to center and send out Mack.  Speed kills.

As a Section C Exile, it was wonderful to see the kids extend all the way from A to H.  I hope cheers are starting to sync up again.

And if you combine Allain's recruiting and Drury's coaching, you get Gaudet.

And to Dartmouth hockey, circa 1982.  They never recovered.

My impression from some alumni is it happened to RPI in the last decade as well, and they are only now starting to dig their way out of it.

As another Section C exile, now in M, I think you may be expecting too much from sections D,E,F, etc. From the C split down very few students even stand for the Alma Mater.

We are trying our best, but most of the students in the further sections (D,E,F) are not season ticket holders so are not privy to the traditions and chants. (Surprisingly a decent portion of A seemed to not know the chants last night either) hopefully as the season progresses we will get more synced together

Someone needs to bang together a cheer-guide app   , then get a big mouth lynah veteran who'll act like an idiot and try to start the cheers, and get them a permanent seat somewhere near the bottom of C.

In typing that out I realized that all the students standing for the whole game makes it more difficult to get cheers organized. Back when people sat for games and didn't stand all game, if someone down near the glass stood up, turned around and yelled their cheer or intention back at the crowd it was pretty obvious it was happening.  (Says the not-quite-yet-codger has never liked the stand-all game bullshit)
