Dominating the game but gave up a pen. Nice save from Friedberg and their guy missed a half open net on the rebound.

Fordham turns very little ball control into 2 nice goals

ugarte

Great strike from Ka gets saved. Resulting corner results in a great chance but it gets cleared off the line after trickling past the goaltender.

Feels like we shouldn't be down 2-0. I like our odds to come back.

Fordham own goal! Cornell up 3-2 with 16 minutes left.

Ka from the top of the box into the bottom left corner with 4:30 left and it's 4-2 Big Red.

Iceberg:

What do you suppose is the most important factor in successfully recruiting talented college hockey players?

osorojo:

It's the number of puppies present on a campus. Do I win?

Me:

I hope not, as there are very few, if any, dogs roaming around on campus these days. Back in the day, a highlight of football games was a couple of dogs running around the field with refs and staff trying to corral them. First they were banished from the libraries, because old books were bound with horse glue and dogs liked to lick the spines. Later they were banned from all buildings. What's the problem with a few hairs in a Petri dish?

True story - a friend adopted a female black lab, Wanda. Chris was a devout Catholic who went to mass most Sundays at Anabel Taylor. Once when she was in heat, he left her home, but not her odor. He was followed into the chapel by a pack of male dogs, one of whom humped him in the aisle. Dogs have a knack for adding levity to the most somber of occasions.

I made the puppies post, not osorojo. He had a habit of asking rather annoying...rhetorical questions, so I was taking his question as seriously as everyone else at the time did

ugarte

It's a final: Cornell 4-2 over Fordham.

Danny Lokko gets a second yellow for coming on the field to celebrate the 4th goal. Real bummer because now he'll miss the game against Pitt and we were already a pretty big underdog.

chimpfood

That game was an absolute blast. Yeah the Lokko red hurts because we really don't have depth at forward. My guess would be that they push Ka up top and start Liam may at mid but I'm torn because I like Ka in the midfield but we really can't start Hovan. Anyway, I'm thrilled with this result and it's playing with house money from here.

how hard is it to not get a celebration penalty.

he stepped over the line and hugged his teammate. it wasn't taunting. really titchy call by the ref.

upprdeck

I get that it was ticky tack call. But no reason to be anywhere on the field in that spot to even give the ref a chance to make the call.
