IT'S A TRAP! Cornell vs Princeton

[Iceberg]

This team takes too many penalties. It's not the only reason this game is close but it doesn't help

bad structure cost them on the tying goal. too much chasing without catching after a failed chip out of the zone. lucky to have not coughed up another in the last minute. still think they should pull it out in the third if they play like they did the last 10 minutes.

[Trotsky]

Win the third and have a nice, uncontroversial 6-point weekend.

Cornell pp coming with 14 to go in the third.

[Trotsky]

Boom.  Bancroft.  3-2.  Sam with 3 assists tonight.  Big Red 3 ppg.

[Trotsky]

Cornell 3 Princeton 2
Colgate 3 Quinnipiac 2
Brown 3 Harvard 2

And both Sucks and Q lose, too.

A good night

Great last couple of minutes to preserve the 3-2 win.

damn straight

Cornell 3 Princeton 2
Colgate 3 Quinnipiac 2
Brown 3 Harvard 2

...which flips us and Sucks, so we're now #10 in PWR.

And Quinny down to 4.

Am I correct that holding a top 10 spot in pairwise/rpi is nearly a guarantee at an at large bid if we don't get in through lake placid?

Yes.

And more likely 12 or 13 would be enough.  The odds of all 5 major conferences being won by teams that aren't in the top 15 is close to zero.

Cornell was much better defensively in the latter two periods. All Big Red goals came on the power play, and all came from players who are in their first season with Cornell. Really good weekend for Shane too. Neither of the two goals did he have a chance on, and he saved Cornell in at least three separate Princeton breakaways or clear paths to the net. Two dumb penalties, one by O'Leary in the offensive zone and one by Bancroft retaliating after being pushed headfirst into the boards. If Bancroft stays down he maybe even draws five minutes there. Crazy that such a scary hit ended up in a 4x4.
