Cornell 5 St. Lawrence 1

[Give My Regards]

I'd sure like to know where ESPN+ got the idea that Cornell was 11-4 in the ECAC.  The women are 12-5, maybe that sort of explains it.

Some night, Stonehill will win.

This is not that night.

(Note the Pete Muzyka nostalgia tour.)

8 teams within 6 pts of 2nd place

2nd place BC has 11 pts over 3rd place in HE.

Robertson on the "watch list" for the Tim Taylor Award (NCAA ROTY).  No Cornellian has ever won it.

I think Ben Robertson is going to be outstanding, and a fine young man ... But these "watch lists" (for all the awards) are worth as much as the digital ink they're printed on. They're nothing more than an excuse for SIDs to send out more press releases.

One of the 10 or so NHL 1st Rd. picks in the NCAA will win this award -- odds are it will be Celebrini.

Every broadcast is school-produced. I won't get into the minutiae but they forgot to change them from last Saturday's women's game.

Whatever a Lindenwood is, it's up a goal with about 9 min left in the third.

Well what should we complain about tonight? Bearlover you're up. Crowd bad tonight?

Kraft was an animal tonight!  He made the play that led to the rebound on the Devlin goal.  Had a nose for the puck on almost every shift.  Made three defensive plays in the third while holding down the lead (1-play at the blue line to stop an entry, 2-in perfect position to intercept a pass at the top of the zone and 3-a lay out to block a shot late either short handed or on the 6x5).  Then rewarded with the empty netter.  Bancroft was looking for him the whole time so I have to imagine the boys were keeping tabs on who deserved that one.

It maybe didn't start out that way but it was nice to end up with a comfortable win.  That first power play?  Woof.  Never could get established.  I thought it was a missed opportunity to take control of the game in the first minutes.  On the first goal against I thought O'Brien had an opportunity to go for the puck but it's hard to blame a guy who doesn't get to play much for staying home instead of taking a risk.  They really started to wear SLU down in that second period.  There weren't many hits but the Big Red were easily the heavier team.  It was pretty neat to see the 2-1 goal develop.  Walsh and Robertson seemed to draw up a play together behind the net and then each guy went untouched to the perfect spots to connect.  What about that effort by Penney on the 3-1?  Power and finesse = finish.  How come they don't look to shoot from the point on the power play like Fegaras did 5x5 for the 4-1?  Something to consider......

UNH still has to play Maine two more times and BC three times, which will help them here. Cornell has only three games against opponents who are over .500, and barely over at that.

it was a pretty rough crowd to be fair, I would like to see section E turned back to the townies so that it and the rest of the student sections get filled better.

What are they? I've never heard of them before.  Are they put out by conferences to promote their players?

Great effort by the hockey team but yeah, crowd bad tonight. Cornell needs to reduce the price of tickets. There's no other good solution at this point.
