St. Lawrence at Cornell 2023-02-18

[Trotsky]

Still time but we were in control of this game for much of it.  Disappointing.

awful weekend

Down to 15, yet still given 93% chance on chn.

St. Lawrence received very bad reviews at the beginning of the season. Although I am a loyal Cornell fan I can't help but admire how much the Skatin' Saints have improved this season.

We could use a bye week.

It's got to be way less than that.  We may need to win the next 4 if we don't win the ECAC's.   Goinig something like 4-2 the rest of the way won't change our RPI much, and both Hockey East and NCHC could very well have tournament champions who are currently below us.

WTF did I watch tonight. And if this weekend was any indication, I expect the games at Brown and Yale to be dogfights

Not only that but there are conferences without having any team in the top ten so we are most definitely not safe

I'm in an absolute terrible mood as both the basketball and hockey teams shat all over their playoff hopes. I'm getting real tired of the hockey team having a late season collapse against terrible teams. Now we're gonna have to win both next weekend and sweep our quarterfinal series to feel decent about our NCAA chances.

[Dafatone]

We tend to struggle with defensively sound teams that lack firepower more than we do with the most high-powered teams. Both opponents this weekend clogged passing lanes well and didn't give up many odd man rushes.

If it makes you feel any better about our prospects next weekend, Brown will likely still be backstopped by its backup, who isn't exactly tearing it up. Caron is injured. And the much vaunted (by Grady) Bulldog renaissance isn't all that impressive. Union and Quinnipiac both doubled them up on shot attempts, and, well, our possession game is very strong, this weekend's results notwithstanding.

Harvard, meanwhile, has a very tough roadtrip against two hungry teams, one of whom (Clarkson) they never play well against. But surely the masters of BS overtime will prevail.

For the quarters, I'm getting the strong feeling that we'll see Clarkson again. But I'd rather see them than Colgate (can't happen), Yale (Pearson), or Brown (Caron), who have the kind of goalies that can steal games. Honestly, I'm pretty annoyed Cooper Black (Dartmouth) is a freshman, and particularly that he's not our freshman. Dartmouth is going to be a tough out for whomever draws them.

We have to play very, very tight until we open up a lead. It's excruciating.

Have you noticed that we always seem to have small goalies?  Watching Shane, he just kind of shrinks into the net.  We don't need a 6'6" keeper like Clarkson, but 6'1" would be good.  They claim Shane is 6'0". Lol.

Don't get me started.

I know everyone (else) loved Andy Iles... But I saw Yale open him up like a bad can of tuna in Atlantic City his freshman year, and I think Schafer playing him for that championship game was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen him make as a coach. Should've played Garman, who was better statistically and was playing hotter down the stretch. Harvard did the same thing the next year. 2013 happened. And then in 2014, the Union juggernaut ended Iles's time as "the guy."

Yeah, Iles could steal a game every once in a while, but we are not the team for that kind of goalie. Give me a big brick any day. Like that Scrivens kid.

In my day we could win a national championship either way, Dryden or Cropper.  Of course the team scored a lot more goals, too.
