Cornell at Union 2/28

[sah67]

Mack with a gorgeous rush and power move to the net shorthanded, but couldn't convert.

Last years of great coaches are often disappointing. I leafed through the CHN almanac one day and saw some patterns.

It would not surprise me at all if in general last seasons underachieved expectations and post overachieving seasons happened during coaches' first seasons.

Jeff Jackson this season at Notre Dame. Of course most of those other examples were not coming off a final eight season with virtually the entire team returning.  Shocking.

I mean, Schafer wanted to retire after last season. So you can't really blame him.

Coulda shoulda woulda and all that, but I do wonder how different our record would be if the coaches tried a "rotation" with Shane and Keopple earlier in the season.

No. This is what we have been all season.  It is not an anomaly.  We are, somehow, average, despite being loaded with talent and having the greatest incentive to win any Cornell team ever has.

The Doomers are all fucking idiots, too -- we aren't "embarrassing" or any adolescent shit.  We're just average.  This year, this is us.

I hope we work it all out and come back strong next year.

Shane's been fine. Not as good as years past, maybe, but still fine. It's not about who's in net, it's the sheer lack of scoring plus the defense napping at the wheel every other game.

I'm sorry, but no. Shane has been horrible this season. Both by the eye test and by his stats, which are among the absolute worst in the country.

[sah67]

Major (the length, not the player) penalty killed. I think we had better looks shorthanded than U did on the 5 minutes of power-play.

[sah67]

Castagna pretty invisible tonight so far, but who knows how "recovered" he really is

Not blaming him. It happens.

End of 2nd: 4-1 U.

[upprdeck]

I would still like to know who decided those facemask penalties were a 5 min and throw the guy worthy type calls.  2 min and they if a guy gets thrown around maybe 5?

again we create multiple chances and just cant score.

[sah67]

SOG 13-11 Union through two. I'm not sure if they even got more than a single SOG during their five minute power-play.

Pretty much the entire list of leaders by wins, including York, Parker, Berenson, Sauer, etc. Ron Mason is the only exception.

[sah67]

Schafer has left the bench. He took a puck to the head in the second and seemed OK but is apparently being evaluated now.

[sah67]

Another great shorthanded bid: Rego this time with a steal behind the net and then a wraparound, but no dice.
