Cornell at Dartmouth 11/15

The sad part is this was one of the best periods they've had before coughing it up twice.

Yes.

Eeeeeyup. My cardiac health can't take this

[Trotsky]

To be fair we made terrible mistakes 2x in the first and Ian saved us.  I don't know if it's bad ice or inattention but for a game where we have played very well, we have also pulled a bunch of awful boners.

[Trotsky]

I still believe, somehow.

[Trotsky]

Oh well.  Lots to think about on the trip to Alston.

Well... always tomorrow. Ice looked awful though, how many times was the net dislodged? But take the momentum from this 3rd and whoop some rears tomorrow.

This team has a long way to go. Injuries are one thing but bad, unforced passes are another

[upprdeck]

the D zone mistakes really were the game.  Too many bad decisions.

Other than that, had the better of possession and shots.

Need to get something out of the PP. Dart basically got 2 and we got zip again.

So often a problem in the early season. But O'Leary, of all people, should know better.

[Dafatone]

I need everyone who has ever complained about Lynah not being 100% full to look at this rink and apologize.

In the 80s this would have been a dream crowd for Thompson.  You could hear individual conversations.

Jesus... that bad?

Oh yeah. Meehan and Thompson were always 10:1 Cornell fans.

Meehan is... Brown? I see.

Meehan is my go to for unbelievably empty.

Holy fuck, I have never seen a Cornell team beat itself this badly before. Dartmouth did NOT look good. Cornell is just clueless on special teams and made so many unforced turnovers. I blame this one on the coaching staff. The special teams looked totally unprepared. Why are we still running out the same unit on the PP when we are like 0-for-20 this year?

Need to get players back from injury. Much harder to win when you have 4+ forwards in the lineup who are not a threat to score. Awful rookie mistakes by the freshmen and also by some seniors. Can't even bench them because there's no one else to turn to.

Totally embarrassing loss against a mediocre team.

[RichH]

Always have trouble at Thompson. Tonight CU didn't look lost or uninspired and still took the L. Oh well.  At least we lost to a Dartmouth team that has some talent up and down instead of the old Gaudet Goon squad.

What month/year will we get a PPG?  Not even remotely close to being threatening a man up. Gotta shore up special teams before I can call this team special.

[chimpfood]

I'm really pissed off between this and the soccer OT loss. Gotta get the win tomorrow.

O'Leary should ride the bench tomorrow. Too bad there are literally zero extra healthy forwards and we had to play a D at forward tonight, so we get to watch him spin wildly and turn the puck over for another 60 minutes. Badly need Fegaras back too, some of the bottom few D are extremely turnover prone and show little offensive ability.
