Cornell at Dartmouth, 1/27

[Iceberg]

Dartmouth hasn't won too many games since the end of the winter break and lost in OT yesterday. The game is in Hanover, though, so it'll probably be closer than it needs to be

I always find Hanover closer than it needs to be.

They took Colgate to overtime last night.

I forgot they shoot the Thompson games from Mars.

I always find Hanover closer than it needs to be.

And farther than any Cornell teams wants to be if it it loses in Hanover and faces that glum 5-1/2 ride home. Another reason to bring home a W. We had to many men's hockey Ls at Dartmouth the last decade or so. Too bad there isn't a Cornell-operated Far Above 737 Max to speed up transportation. Giving new meaning to "We want to beat Dartmouth if it's the last thing we do."

Dartmouth's aggressive forecheck causing problems.

No offense, Dartmouth, but: It's 7 pm. Your house not ours. There appear to be more people warming up on the ice than sitting in the stands.

We couldn't get out of our end for much of that period.  Shots 10-4 and I am quite happy to still be scoreless.  Some attitude adjustment going on in the lockerroom right now.

Trap game trap game trap game.

Hard to recall now, but back when we were crushing Dartmouth every game in the mid 80s it was not unusual for us to dominate Thompson, and we only brought about 200 traveling / area fans.  There were games where I did not see any Dartmouth student fans except the GFs.

At least their band is there. That rink never really fills up unless it's the one game against Princeton where students throw tennis balls on the ice

Clarkson behind 2-0 at Appleton.

As someone who has never played hockey, how important is it to have defensive pairings with a lefty on the left and a righty on the right? I notice that most, if not all of our d pairings are that way and I was wondering whether that's just something that is nice to do if it works out or if it is so important that we might specifically try to recruit a lefty d man just so we can have one in each pairing.

I think Cornell specifically recruits for it.
