Cornell vs RPI, 2 March 2024

[Trotsky]

Based on Jason's comments in the pre-game, Schafer absolutely agrees with the harshest critics of last night's effort.  A bunch of changes in the lineup and quote If I could make more changes I would unquote.  Yikes.

[Trotsky]

Another quote from Mike: "I don't buy us using our illness as an excuse.  Yes, we have sick players, but we are failing in fundamentals like face offs and effort and that isn't sickness."

He's not a happy man right now.

How long have they been sick?  Feels a little late for that to still be a reason. My daughter just returned to campus and said before break there was a virus going round but still?

First mention was 3 weekends ago.  I assume it has been rotating, but Seger at least has played like he's a corpse for the last several games.  He's the leader of the team so I assume he's in real bad shape.

[Trotsky]

Kraft on fire first shift.

[Trotsky]

O'Leary, 1-0.  Love they played the Swedish anthem for Gabe.

[Trotsky]

Kraft's speed has led to great chances all night so far, and he pots one, 2-0.

[Trotsky]

Ice repair cheer.  Nice job by the Faithful.

[Trotsky]

2-0 after 1, shots 12-7.  Colgate tied with Union 1-1 after 1.  Magic number of derp points w/ Gate is 3 to clinch 2nd.

sounds like a good period. keep pounding, lads.

[Trotsky]

So far very good.

[Trotsky]

Good pp possession but no good looks, then some great possession taking advantage of a broken RPI stick.  Still 2-0.

[Trotsky]

Shot attempts 29-14, and 8-1 this period.  We're getting some good play development.  RPI is chasing us a lot and that is tiring.

[Trotsky]

Mack around the back of the net, then does the wrap around to the far post, 3-0!

[Trotsky]

Colgate up 3-1, so it looks like we'll need all 3 derp points.
