Cornell @ Boston University, Jan. 14, 2023 - GAME TIME IS 4PM

[underskill]

Well glass half full is that they didn't look overwhelmed from a talent standpoint so you can chalk it up to an inexperienced team learning how to win.

[redice]

The rare college play-by-play guy who calls the play and can actually keep up with it.

Like Roy Ives did for CU, once upon a time.

[Beeeej]

Okay, well, I'm not starting any more game threads...

Malinski continues to own BU

Malinski's the one who misplayed the puck just inside the BU blue line with about 35 seconds left, leading directly to the final goal.

See what happens when you anger the woofing gods?

[abmarks]

Yes they've grown more homer-ish over the game.

I continue to appreciate that across Cornell sports our announcing teams play it far more down the middle, albeit with a tinge of red. A program the stature of BU should be embarrassed to use such homers.

Why?  It's a home broadcast.  Amy team NOT having some significant degree of homerism is doing it wrong.

Nonsense

I don't care about the announcers. At least the BU play by play guy actually follows the play and doesn't go off on random tangents. That was a terrible ending. Cornell could have held for the last shot, but they blew it. They managed to skate with BU the whole game, but they got the same result as if they lost 8-0. Given the tenuous position in the pairwise, this was crushing.

Agreed. This loss is really bumming me out. CU was dictating the style of the game for most of it. Controlled possession for critical chunks despite the broadcasters saying that BU just needs to home run pass it over and over and over and it never working. Our speed negating theirs.

 This game should have been 5-2 after 2. I had turned it off with 4 minutes left (due to other events) and it wasn't shocking to see the L by that point. It was a crushing result.

Eh, I was refering to the offensive success he's had in games against them (reminiscent of the days of Ferlin against Yale). But yeah, he had his moments this game with the puck. Bad loss but there are two other games against top 10 PWR teams coming up and the others this season have all been within 1 goal. One of them has to go Cornell's way (hopefully)

Yes.  Just a gut punch.   Even losing in ot would've been better at least big picture wise.

Pwr insanity: women lose 6-1 at home to Q and do not drop even one spot. Men lose like that, on the road, and drops four spots.  Ok sure.

Posters on the USCHO BU thread were impressed and want him in the portal if/when his Ivy eligibility is used up.

Sometimes I forgot that next year is going to be a 2021-22 redux where all our best players transfer to other teams, and then I'm reminded that we still have two more seasons of this crap before the fifth year eligibility rule goes away.

They likely remember he had a filthy goal last year against them at MSG

Well glass half full is that they didn't look overwhelmed from a talent standpoint so you can chalk it up to an inexperienced team learning how to win.

But 15 of 28 players on the roster are juniors and seniors, with 20 of 30 letter winners returning.  COVID year notwithstanding.
