I would've let them score at the beginning of the powerplay to give us 2:30 to get 2 instead of :30 to get one. But idk we got a great chance and didn't get it. So frustrating.

That's nuts, sorry.

Close, close game. Given how some points of the season went, the past few weeks have been fantastic. It would've been nice to see them get over the regional hump for the first time in a long time

We acquitted ourselves well, despite the outcome. It hurts that we keep coming up a hair short of the Frozen Four but Denver is a legitimate team.

I thought about it. A friend recommended playing 5x5 empty net. If you give one up, you're in the same position you would've been had you let in a goal.

Cornell played a great game.  Some questionable refereeing during periods 2 and 3.  

Get em next year.

Yeah that would be a better idea, should've pulled Shane when we had the puck in their end early. I know deep down that this was a great season for such a young team and we weren't even expected to win one game in the tournament but god we were so damn close.

Was a helluva run.  Castagna and Walsh are going to be huge for us for the next 3 years and give us some of the offensive punch and skill that we so desperately need ( and have needed for years) in games like this.  10 freshmen and this is just the beginning.

So, 43 years and counting for me to get the ultimate prize in one of "our" sports (hockey and lax), but again left a bridesmaid. That being said, many of our peers (Brown for example) almost never get invited to the wedding, so I'm thankful to have teams that are contenders. But it still hurts like heck to come up short.

Hoping no early defections for the next two years at keast

Heads should be held high as it was a real battle.
10 freshmen-the sky is the limit for the next few years.

They had no business being this good with 10 freshmen.

They had no business winning the ecac.

What an impressive season. Their poise in both regionals was amazing. They'll be back and better next year.

(I'm crushed)

All of this. Team played real well.

I blame the guy in the Braves hat and shirt directly behind the bench.

I also blame him for the coffeeshop in my town being closed on Sundays, Citi Field switching from Carvel to Mister Softee, and global warming.
