Cornell vs RPI, 2 March 2024

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Oh, he didn't have his stick.  Deliberate and possibly to cause injury.  Throw that fucker out.

Dirtier than the O'Byrne, which is when you lose your stick, grab a guy, pin him against the boards, and punch him in the kidneys til you get called for roughing.

As opposed to the Olds, where you hit him into the boards, throw an uppercut, and just drop him.

Or a Damion Rocke, where you just shoot the guy.

No the same person incurred two separate penalties. So two power plays consecutively

It's not a double minor though since it wasn't one single act.  I thought it would be a 5x3 because it was two separate penalties.  The scenario of two separate penalties shouldn't result in differing loss of man power just because the separate penalties were committed by the same player.  I know it's not common but I don't recall seeing this ruling before.

I'm guessing that Bancroft learned a pretty important lesson today.  Luckily all that it cost them was a shutout.  I felt bad for him because he took it pretty hard.  I thought DeSantis was gonna get the monkey off his back with the empty net but the puck jumped on him.  Must be the book on the RPI goalie was wrap around.  They tried it all night.  Mack changed up the angle by going far side instead of going for the stuff attempt.  Rest up boys.  Almost time to flip the switch.

I couldn't catch the radio broadcast.  Who was benched on Saturday because of Friday's poor play?

Not sure if was because of poor play, but Donaldson (who I think is pretty good) was again the odd man out.

Mosko was in though and played quite a bit.

Fegaras, apparently. Mosko looked really solid (again) in his place on the blue line, and Schafer gave him some of Fegaras's PP time as well.

O'Brien was in the "7th D" role with Donaldson out.

I saw him storm off down the tunnel after the RPI goal...I thought it was an injury situation, but I'm guessing he was the one responsible for the giveaway that led to the goal?

Yes, he tried to elevate a pass out in front instead of putting the puck in the corner or taking it to the boards.  After he got back from the tunnel he had his head down.  He makes plenty of good plays in the defensive zone.  This was just a weird scenario where everyone was bunched down close to the goal line so there weren't any safe passing options.  Now if Psenicka knocks the puck down then only the coaching staff sees it as a risky play instead of everyone in the arena.

I don't believe Fegaras was a healthy scratch

Jason strongly implied he was.

I don't know. I view Bancroft as somewhat defensively suspect, as I've noticed quite a few clears that he's made bad choices like that on, either passing to dangerous areas or not playing the puck with authority. Basically, he plays it a little too cute in the defensive end, and that's generally not a good choice.

That being said, if he took it that hard, it's clearly something he and the coaching staff are trying to address. As long as he keeps working at it, he'll get there. Which is the whole point of the intersection between Schafer's coaching emphasis and more offensively oriented players like Bancroft. You can teach defense. As long as he buys in, he'll become a complete player.

Ok, I hadn't listened to Jason—he would no better than me

Shane covers with 2.2 seconds.  Come on, Mike.

No coverage of the Senior Night festivities, although they did cut to it for about 10 seconds before it turning back to the infinite ESPN+ ad. Pity.

that was definitely one of the advantages of having the Age M. video

Is that the online stream? That's what I've been saving, but is there an archive or something?
