Sorry folks, I meant this to reply to BearLovers post. Semi-rookie mistake...

I live in Ann Arbor, one of the epicenters of the academic/athletic divide. Your bar about not being able to flunk out does not factor in things like this (with full positivity spin):

The bar for athletes at a school like Michigan is totally different than at Cornell. After living in Ann Arbor for 10+ years, I can see the dark side and I'm happy about that.

Just updated the thread to have the lines up top - don't see UMDs released anywhere yet tho

Catalano, Donaldson, and Mack healthy scratches.  We are deep at forward.

Wow.  Either he's nearer the mic or he's been working out.

12-4 in shots favoring Cornell. Offense has looked great against Duluth's defenders so far although I'm sure Sandelin isn't too happy about his guys being generally outperformed in their own zone

2-0 after one, the Red carry almost a minute of PP into the second period, Bancroft hit the pipe in the first minute of the PP and we could easily be up 3-0. Dominating SOG too.

Cornellian in Ann Arbor for 10 years as well. I could care less about the wolverines. "Ivy of the Midwest" my arse.

3-1 after 2.
Bancroft pinballs one into the crease that hits Walsh before finding the net. Fegaras gives UMD a PP and when Shane dives and whiffs trying to poke a loose puck away Steeves roofs it to close to 3-1. UMD was a lot more spirited after the goal and we'll see what the break does.

I like how quickly we are moving the puck through the middle.  Speed kills; quick development makes things happen.

ugarte

O'Leary roofs a pretty backhand on a 3-on-2 to go up 4-1 with 5:23 left.

Sometimes I get frustrated when a puck bounces around in front of the opposing goalie and nobody can get a clean stick on it. My brain tells me it only happens to us. But right before the breakaway UMD was putting the pressure on and it was the Bulldogs that couldn't corral it. It was a nice reminder for my stupid brain.

Trotsky

That's all I can ask for. 4-1 final.  Played well in all periods.  The kids are alright.
