11/1 vs North Dakota

Shane does a great job in the 6x5 and Penney with a clutch ENG. What a day for Cornell sports fans.

Add in that I don't think we've seen Psenicka since early.

I don't think he was in the mob around Shane at the end. Hope it isn't serious.

Check the replay two minutes into the first period. You can see Psenicka go into the boards.

Correct.  Saw it live.  Btw Stanley was an absolute beast and O'Leary was driving them to distraction.

At the above-referenced 18-minute mark, you can see Psenicka fall awkwardly into the boards, right-shoulder-first. He actually returns for a second shift with about 15:30 to go, but clutches his right shoulder multiple times while on the ice and after that O'Brien started seeing shifts.

The ND forum (some members) are giving us credit for being the better team and wishing they could play at our level. Saying we outplayed them 5 of 6 periods this weekend. Im a bit offended by a member or two who supposedly visited this weekend calling Lynah a dump. They can have their "palace" (check out behind the scenes of their place on youtube, it is insane), but I'll take the wooden planks on concrete anyday over a no character nhl wannabe arena.

Absolutely amazing sweep. We sucked in the second period but bounced back and got it done. This sets us yo super well for the rest of the year.

What a goddamn day to be a Cornell sports fan. Mens' hockey sweeps NoDak, Women's destroys RPI, football dominates Princeton, Men's soccer rolls Harvard. Fuck yes.

The quality of discourse on that website is exactly as I remember it the last time I visited when we swept them in 2022.

9 goals
9 goal-scorers

"Depth" is the word this season

Oh, and now 7-5-0 all time vs. NoDak.

[upprdeck]

nothing wrong with lynah except the old wooden benches but thats part of the charm as well.

Amazing weekend but not really. Town section was half empty (brought no energy as well). Student section needs a complete overhaul, this is bad

coffee tastes really good this morning

I was a little worried that after what I saw Friday that Hedquist would make a big difference on Saturday.  He proved to be just as leaky as Semptimphelter.  Cornell didn't dominate in any facet yet still swept.  I'll take the two wins knowing that there is plenty of room for improvement.

Opening weekend against a team casual fans would have no reason to care about. This annual tradition of complaining that the building is perfect like it was when whoever was a student is predict and tiresome.  I'd rather see people spar with BearLover over draft picks (how many does nodak have again?) than have more lament that the crowd just didn't appreciate things appropriately.

It was an enormous weekend. Cornell's third period last night was fantastic after a second period where they looked tired and without enough in the tank to come back. It looked like it might be headed for 6-2 ND. But credit to team and coaches for coming out with renewed energy in the third and earning a statement sweep. Two big wins that will help in March.

Cornell is not healthy and didn't play flawless hockey by any stretch this weekend but still got two wins. I don't care that a couple hundred townies and students had other plans.
