AIC @ Cornell 12/29 12/30

[abmarks]

So what was up with the AIC 4 man weave.. several times they played D with just 4 guys and let cornell have at it while the 5th was hanging out at the other blue line..Cornell just kept cycling the puck for 30-45 secs.. They did that multiple times.. Dont recall the last time I saw a team do that consistently.

Do you remember what time I'm the game that was? I didn't notice on first viewing and want to go back and rewatch that 4 man thing

I dont remember when. But I do know it happened in the 1st and 3rd because I was wondering where the other 2 players were as we cycled it.. I was thinking we were in a line change then i saw the AIC guy looping around the other blue line and our D watching him.

Hey, I've seen this one...

We must've decided playing crappy defense to start the game was a winning formula, because that AIG goal was about as easy a goal as there is.

[Trotsky]

If you want to see the AIC Weave you can just watch now.  Except they aren't using 4 this time.  

They're using all 5.

[Trotsky]

Everyone on both sides is so sloppy.

A chance to get some help tonight:

Quinnipiac vs Holy Cross
Harvard vs BU
Colgate vs Maine
Princeton vs Colorado College
RPI vs Bowling Green
St. Lawrence vs UNO
Dartmouth vs Merrimack

Yale lost to Providence, 0-3

I love that Cornell is moving right from turnover to transition and not setting up behind the net.  I hope they continue with that tactic.

We have skills and speed to play up tempo.

OK so I am watching on ESPN+ but through my cable provider, Xfinity. I can't seem to find the setting to turn off the closed captioning using my remote. It's just not there. I didn't change anything from last night where there was no CC. Thoughts?

It's not a big deal but the are a lot of I Sing infractions and a Car Deli scored two goals.

Malinsky pantsed on the third AIC goal.

Tough night for Sam

Chance to tie on another PP. Bancroft has been pretty invisible tonight.

I need to see slomo on the second Cornell goal. I think DeSantis may have whiffed on the high stick and then tapped it in from the doorstep but it may have just been a ricochet after Psenicka's shot popped in the air.

[scoop85]

A couple of ugly PP's. As Ugarte might say, there has been zero crispness in our play tonight
