Cornell at Brown 2/14/25

[ice]

Big win.  Sets up the six point weekend.

Bah, Colgate scores three unanswered in the third to tie stupid Yale.

Cornell wasn't catching Colgate anyway. Their only realistic path to a bye at this point is passing Dartmouth and Union.

Or some pair combination of Dartmouth, Union, and Clarkson. Given the remaining schedules, I think it will be easiest to pass Clarkson.

Clarkson beat Dartmouth tonight though. Clarkson is now 6 pts ahead of us, Dartmouth is 2.

Too bad Shane lost his shutout on a goal by a Brown player who hadn't scored all season.
Kudos to the Brown announcer for giving lots of praise to Schafer. Some of the other road announcers have barely acknowledged that this is his last season.
Also, the pep band sounded great tonight. It seems that Brown didn't have one.

Walsh 12-4 at faceoff.  Having a fantastic game!

Recalls a WW II joke: Russian sniper killed 120 Germans with 124 rounds fired. He gets a joint Russia-USA medal. From the back, a Brooklyn-sounding voice calls out, "Hey, what'd ya do with the other 4 bullets?"

Clarkson has to play Har, Cor, Col, Q, Pri.
Dartmouth has to play SLU, RPI, Un, Brown, Y.

I think it's likely that Clarkson will get another 6 points and Dart will get another 15 points. So that puts Clarkson at 39 and Dart at 44 points.

If we beat Clarkson again, we only need to win another three games to get to 39 and win the tie with Clarkson. Even if we run the table, Dart has to drop a game they should win for us to pass them.

I loved that game. Can we do it again tomorrow?

It's very unlikely Dartmouth goes 5-0 the rest of the way. Even if they are favored in each individual game, they're still very likely to lose or tie some of them.  But you are right, I wasn't factoring in that we still play Clarkson but not Dartmouth. Since this discussion is moot anyway if we lose to Clarkson, we can assume we have to pass Clarkson by 2 points over four games, which is more doable.

Yes, absolutely have to beat Clarkson. But at least that destiny is in our own hands.

Jus noticed when watching the highlights but major switched to a bubble instead of the cage?

[redice]

I loved that game.

Yes it was.    But, somebody at WHCU or TuneIn went out of their way to be annoying in the third period with the multitude of commercials being injected over Jason's PBP...

Wasn't just the 3rd. In the 1st and 2nd there were weird ads for "radio is great to advertise on!"

You are correct.    But, there were MANY more ads in the third.   I could tolerate that 1st & 2nd.   But, the number of they in the 3rd was intolerable!

Line chart

I'm now loving the pronunciation guide. The only names they couldn't turn into something else are  "KRAFT" and "HANK."

 Having the first syllable of Donaldson as "DAWN" assumes a particular accent. Even names like "Tim" and "Ben" have changed spelling-for speaking them, but now I'm going to think about saying them with long vowels and "Hank" with a short vowel.

They should have used the guide for Psenicka, they really butchered his name several times

The PBP guy? The PA guy was no better I'd imagine. The announcement on the last goal was embarassing.
