Cornell 3 Quinnipiac 2 (ot)

[Trotsky]

We have been playing well since our last kill.

Seger has recovered tonight in FO, 18-8.

We need to deaden the opponent's bench for stick banging, it's irritating.

Oh, Walshie.

Yeah, our spot in the Pairwise is brutal. As I mentioned yesterday in another thread, there was a big gap between Cornell and the top 15 heading into the weekend, and the top 15 is almost all national powers who have managed to keep winning over the past few weeks. The gap is now smaller, but it's still enough that Cornell is in a very precarious position.

Cornell is playing pretty well, let's hope they can keep it going and stack up wins. I remain worried about Harvard next week.

Awful second, great third. Overall I thought Cornell played alright against one of the best teams in the country. Our PP continues to be the weak link. It improved a bit as the game went on, but still way too little of getting pucks to the net.

Now I think we need to pretty much win out to lock up a spot.   Against the remaining schedule it's possible but hard to expect us to not slip up once or twice.

An RPI of .54 is usually the cutoff to get in. We're just over .55. I'm not sure if it's usual for the top 16 to be higher earlier in the year. But I'm choosing to believe that this is a good sign. 10-4-3 with some big wins is very good.

Beautiful rip from Bancroft, what a win.
