Colgate @ Cornell

[scoop85]

Since I started the Union thread and that turned out halfway decently, I thought I'd give it another go. Colgate has been an enigma this season, getting swept against Niagara and losing to both RPI and Union at home, but beating QU and coming within a minute of a sweep against Harvard. Hopefully our guys will be ready to go and will have last year's poor results against Colgate as some extra motivation.

They also go swept by a pretty mediocre NMU team and a bad UVM team (if you count the SO). It does feel like for Vaughan's team that if the goaltending isn't good the team isn't good. Gylander is pretty good, so I'd expect a close game. On the other hand, I don't think their defense is very good and outside of the Youngs they don't have a lot of offensive firepower.

Sorry I've been slacking with my thread creations/line postings since winter break as I was pretty sick - thanks everyone for making them

Not to be critical, but could u perhaps add the date to the thread name

Well, that looked like an obvious matching minor to me but what do I know.

The refs just spotted Colgate the opening goal. That never, ever, ever gets called as a roughing penalty on one team in the NHL (or any league with reputable refereeing).

Yes, total bullshit call

Underwhelming period, especially lethargic on the power play. Seems all too similar to our games with toothpaste last year

Never mind the rampant interference everywhere. Cutters getting interfered with, something Harvard likes to do as well, is a pet peeve.

Beautiful goal by Mack!

Cornell controlled much of the 2nd period, and Colgate couldn't handle our size and tenacity in their defensive zone. But the few times Colgate got things going in the Cornell zone they had some sustained pressure and Shane had to make a few very strong saves.

I'd like to go back and watch the footage to determine who on Colgate is on the ice when they have sustained possession in the Cornell zone. Colgate is frontloaded with not much depth beyond their top line. I'm curious to know if their top line was on the ice at these points. Because other than these few Colgate possessions when Cornell looked really sloppy and on its heels, possession was all Cornell.
