Yale at Cornell, shrouded in mystery

[Trotsky]

What a terrible game. Can't believe I flew up from NOLA for this

It was a great game. Both teams played well and with heart.  Yale deserves a tie, they came hard.

One of my more inane opinions is that the end of the game should extend by the length of the ongoing power play if it's tied or if the team up a man is down one.

I think the power play team should get an extra shot in the shootout.

An extra man on one attempt.

That's not inane. It's only fair. A penalty committed with 10 seconds remaining is basically not penalized at all. A penalty committed with one minute remaining is only half as costly as one committed with two or morning minutes remaining. I agree with you.

You complain too much.

Unfortunately the Big Red dropped from 11 to 15 in the Pairwise with the tie.

Colorado College is losing to North Dakota, That will help. And Penn State is ahead of Michigan, so that's good.

But UNH destroyed Maine this weekend. The Wildcats have a tough schedule left, with two against UMass and two against BC, but they figured out how to put away a top ten team by putting out two big efforts, so they will definitely be in the hunt for that last NCAA bid.

That seems to be all anyone cares about. We haven't lost a game since December 2. What other team can say that? Can we just enjoy the ride and not worry so much about all that other crap, seeing as we are fans and have zero control over anything?

Cornell has been great this year and I'm proud of them. Mostly just frustrating to not see that get rewarded in the Pairwise.

Pairwise disaster.

Mixed emotions. Love to see them win the Ivy championship but that really hurts our chance at the tourney.

Part of the focus on Pairwise is because we're in the bubble range. If we were well above or below it, the change in ranking wouldn't mean as much. Part of it is expectations. My freshman year, my immediate fan circle didn't have super high expectations, and we definitely enjoyed the season game by game more. But back then, Pairwise didn't exist either, so it was easier to live in the moment. We were just thrilled make it to the Gahden.

It's fine. We didn't drop that far in RPI. We're just in a tight pack of teams. If we keep playing well, we will have a good shot.

We didn't drop far, but things are so tight that marginal changes aren't so marginal anymore.

Cornell held Yale to 12 shots in regulation. After holding Brown to 10 last night.

Chn has Cornell down to 15 pwr but the probability remains at 80%. Adam-that can't be right, just not updated right?

There's more fluctuation than people seem to realize. Every bit counts, but I didn't expect us to run the table outright, and boy is it good we didn't lose at home.

Living in the moment is, and has always been, a choice.

I'll never understand the complainers, and I grew up in the midst of them on L.I.

And got away as soon as I could.
