Thank you for saying it.

Keopple played a good game after he got warmed up.  

All the shoving/punching was surprising.  Don't know who the instigators were but Cornell needs to be more disciplined, no matter what.  

The biggest difference between Princeton and Sacred Heart was their goalies.

Cornell had a lot of puck luck in this game. Per CHN's xG stat,* our expected goals were 2.4 and Princeton's was 1.9. Cornell exceeded xG by 3.6 and Princeton by .1. This suggests Keopple played an average game, overall.

*AFAIK the CHN xG stat only takes into account shot location, not type of shot or other variables considered by more advanced xG models commonly used. I would guess that the CHN xG stat is more reliable than a layperson's own eyes, despite its limitations, which is why I reference it here. I don't have access to the more advanced xG models, though they seem to be out there for college hockey (eg. the RPI hockey blog seems to reference them).

Princeton played better than the final score. To keep beating the same drum, we were able to clear a bit of space down low on both ends and that seemed to make the difference.

Can't be happy at all with a win. Exhausting.

Sorry for tiring you out. I'm satisfied with the win, and mentioned earlier Keopple looked good after the first goal. Sorry, do you want me to throw a parade for beating *Princeton* in a year we were supposed to compete for the national championship?

I had the misfortune of sitting near relatives and friends of the Princeton starter this year again and the one woman (I assume mother) was thankfully a lot quieter this time. Near the end of the game, one of the kids in the adjacent section ran through a bit of the telephone taunt and I don't think the group liked that too much, lol
