First shutout by a Cornell goaltender in an NCAA game since The Shutout.

That is shocking

Wow!

If ever there was a time
to decline a penalty shot, it was this

I didn't know that was an option--what would happen instead?  Regular power play?

Not an option.

Wow!

At least in the context of this bit of Cornell Hockey arcana, Ian Shane is The Answer

Huh.  I did not know that.

Got back from a charity dinner and finally was able to watch the game. Far better performance than against Harvard, and getting that early lead was obviously huge. I was surprised how passive DU was for most of the game, as teams that forecheck us hard and jam up the neutral zone have given us the biggest problems. Shane looks super confident, and we'll need the best version of him on Saturday.

Several good stories to read on CHN and the like to channel that "can't go to sleep yet" energy.

DeSantis nearly pots that one; just a skate save.  Solid period.  Do it again, please.

Desantis had 4 or 5 point blank opportunities where he either whiffed, couldn't get good wood on it or had bad puck luck with the puck bouncing over his stick.  On better ice we could easily have had 5 or 6.

Tale of two coaches during the timeout. Schafer is barking his head off with a white board. Carle looks like he's falling asleep

BARKING WINS THIS TIME!!!  LGR!!!

Woofing bad, barking good.

One other thing that stood out to me last night was how much better we were than at LP last weekend at winning the one-on-one puck battles along the boards and using active sticks to break up passes and disrupt Denver's flow. Played to our strengths perfectly.

We won so many battles -- in the corner, against the boards, to the puck, at the dot.  We "wanted it more."  It was so satisfying seeing us play with all that heart.  Just keep it up.

My feelings exactly.  Game articles didn't seem to capture that.
