1/4 vs. ASU

[Big Dingus]

Well, almost time to turn it off.

Cornell historically has never got beat badly by similar pairwise teams like this and for some reason this year is different. It feels different and it is different.

I don't know if it's the coach or whatever, but having this many returnees and losing so many games really is shocking. What is going on? Can we finally panic?

ASU had like 4 scoring chances on that possession but that's another one that Shane should have. He has been really disappointing this season. I was never fully bought in on him being as good as his stats over the last couple years (I mean the guy is like 5 foot 11 and Schafer really did not want to start him his freshman year), but I was starting to believe and this is kind of killing my hope. Gotta give keopple a few starts over the rest of the year to at least prepare us for next year.

Sadly, I am becoming bearish on the season. Shane seems to have taken a step back, and Seeger's departure combined with some of the injuries has left a hole offensively that we don't seem to have been able to overcome. We can still make hay in the ECAC, but it doesn't seem likely.

Been ringing that bell for three years. Shane is quick but very small. Having been next to him a few times I'd say closer to 5'9".  He's benefited enormously from the system which has suffered this year. To his credit he has had numerous games over the last three years where he faced pressure and bore up very well.  Mostly he had a lot of 12 shot nights. This year, he's been consistently under pressure and mileage varies.

I just don't understand. Why is this happening? How can we fall so hard with barely any roster moves ?

For a guy whose puck skills are alright at best, Kempf sure loves calling for the puck.

4-0

Coaching staff overhaul this past summer? Regression to the mean? Small sample?

He's one guy I actually think has regressed since his freshman year. He hasn't looked good at many moments this year.

[Dafatone]

No sense losing a close one.

This is obviously going to change barring a really, really good third, but entering tonight, Cornell had 3 losses and the 13th best record in D1.

Seems that way. He's been injured this year though, hasn't he?

Who hasn't regressed this season? Walsh? Anybody else? The team is in total disarray.

[upprdeck]

down 4 but not really dominated in anyway. We have no ability to score on chances down low and it shows.

of course losing the ST race by 1-2 goals every game isnt helping the cause. ASu couldnt stay out of the box last night and tonight almost no calls at all against them,

After tonight Cornell will have 5 regulation wins, 4 regulation losses, 3 regulation ties, and 1 OT win (in gimmicky 3x3). Mediocre team, mediocre record.

IMO Robertson has taken a step back. He is still a very good defenseman, but last year he was an absolute stud.
