Cornell 2 Harvard 0

The announcers have been repeating the same exact thing for about 5 minutes now.

Good of them to show the salute and our crowd.

I am well satisfied.

I agree that the Harvard announcers are really good. Was the current NJ Devils announcer seriously doing Harvard games for ESPN+?

Yes, Bill Spaulding, who actually has ties to upstate NY.

Yes, Bill is a great announcer. So that is amazing.

They spent way too much time talking about the PWR. Though, it was refreshing to hear a focus on the PWR rather than the conference standings. The Cornell announcers spend way too much time on the ECAC standings when it's the PWR ranking that really matters. The Harvard announcers were also wrong that Cornell needs to win out for an at-large bid. Cornell has little margin for error but they definitely don't need to literally win out.

Band sounded GREAT tonight too. Extra fun performances of Time Warp and Schafer Beer Victory Song.

But to even go to the Pairwise topic when it's your opponent's important storyline is admirable. And what they said about winning out works for me.  It is close enough to the truth that it's ok.

It might be wrong but certainly all of this is speculation. I seem to remember people speculating that we'd be below 20.  Or was that just one guy?

A lot of smart people thought that

[Trotsky]

I love beating that team.

[upprdeck]

at least the PP had a few chances.. Also didnt help the one clear trip on the PP went ignored as we were about to pull the trigger.

The color guy correction rink side guy is a little stiff. He also asked a two-part question between periods of the player rather than one and a follow-up.

Also not sure why they use a greenscreen background of the empty rink once the game has started. I mean, Bright actually had some fans there.

When the announcers announce "rink is full" they should have shown on-ice action as the feed, masking the hundreds of empty seats.

But, they were okay announcers and not horrible homers.

if go on any kind of a run we get our RPI above .5600 and we move up 3-5 spots.. Are we good enough to do that.

Always good for a chuckle when the announcer, in acknowledging the large Cornell contingent in a visiting rink, says "they always travel well from Ithaca." As if there aren't thousands of Cornell alumns within spitting distance of most of the rinks we play in.

Like unbeaten in their last 7? That kind of run?

Some of us need to chill out about the PWR situation in January and enjoy the rest of the regular season. We've barely begun the 2nd half of the league slate. Things are typically still fluid into March. Sheetz.

Lol, it's total fantasy land stuff. "The Ithacans came in droves of stagecoaches and caravans across the hinterlands, picking up merriment seeking hitchhikers along the turnpike, as they are wont to do"
