In the recesses of my brain I thought I'd read that the NCAA has mandated shootouts in all games. But perhaps I am imagining that.

This is at least more close to being accurate than "maybe the coaches agreed". We're no longer living in the 60's.

I think it's mandated too but I'm too lazy to check.

That's my recollection as well.

You are correct.  In the  2024-25 and 2025-26 NCAA Ice Hockey Rules & Interpretations, under "Major Rules Changes for 2024-25" we find

91.2 Tied Games - Regular Season: All NCAA regular-season games
that remained tied will use a five-minute overtime period with
three skaters on each side (unless penalties are in effect). If the
game remains tied after the five-minute overtime, a shootout
will be conducted.

Related question: why do the Cornell hockey social media pages celebrate like we won the whole game when we win a shootout, even for games like last night and vs Quinnipiac at MSG where the shootout is literally meaningless for the Pairwise or standings? I get they want to hype up the fans, but it's so misleading. The casual fan sees that stuff and thinks we actually won. Same for the standards and coverage of the team reporting OT wins as normal wins, etc. It really inflates the perception...

That's why.  Forget it Jake. It's Chinatown social media.

I listened to the game and it seemed like they got to the shootout pretty quickly after OT ended.  I was also getting my youngster to bed so maybe it wasn't as quick as I thought but anyone who was there or watched on TV, did they do an ice scrape?

I know a lot of times they'll scrape one lane down the middle and that's it.

But it usually takes ten minutes.

I thought so.   Part of aping the N and the race to the bottom.

There's weird bounces and then there's that.

The announcers mentioned Donaldson is out of the lineup tonight and that last night's extra skater, O'Brien was slotting in to replace him. Do we have no extra skater tonight? Also I assume Donaldson is hurt, do we know when he's expected back?

16 faceoffs in the first 12:41.

Wolfenberg is back too.  Mike has been using 2 of those 3 in each game since Wolfy got back from injury.

Army just scored 7 goals on Mercyhurst.

In one period.

Good flurry at the end.  Were it not for posts we'd be looking pretty good this weekend.

Team looks demoralized.


Worst team in the last 10 years
