I hope we charter some buses and pack Class of 1965 Arena next week.

Except we're gonna play Colgate.  I'll be glad to ruin the Big Green's season in LP, tho.

Thought Trots said Dartmouth. Eh. Kick Colgate's shins in first.

No, it was Union if SLU had won.

Ah... my brain is fried then, ha.

Fun fact: we have never played a post-season game in Hamilton.

First time for everything then!

An unreleasable major penalty in the final minutes of a game we have firmly in control with a seemingly insurmountable lead? Where have I seen that before?

Glad Cornell could send off Schafer at Lynah with a win. This team still doesn't seem to have "it"—we are still lacking offensive vision—but we can certainly beat Dartmouth, who is not an impressive team. Obviously we can also lose to Dartmouth, as we have shown twice this year.

Would be really interested to know what the hell happened to Yale. High octane offense from 2008 to 2013 culminating in a national championship, then morphed into a defensive focused team that was still very strong through 2016, then a few okay years during which they were still recruiting well, then COVID, and since that time they've been absolutely terrible and also managed to play the most boring brand of hockey I've ever seen. Every time Cornell plays them it seems Yale is playing for a 0-0 tie the entire game, just gumming up everything, creating almost zero chances.

But I appreciate them being so bad that we actually looked pretty good. Overall Cornell played well, but I think a lot of that was Yale being extremely bad. Shane looked fine, though he wasn't challenged much.

We get to start a new undefeated streak!

Oh, I thought someone said we were playing Dartmouth. Well, same goes for Colgate, another pretty mediocre opponent. Dartmouth grudge match would have been fun though.

Probably admissions, an athletic department that doesn't care about hockey, a bad AD, or all three combined.

My mistake. Would've killed for that. Well, keep playing and winning and kick their fuckin' teeth in at Lake Placid.

And if we do ruin Dartmouth's season in LP, the most probable scenario is that we do it in the final.  I can live with that.

FTR, we could meet them in the semis, but it would require three of the higher seeds to lose next weekend.  So in addition to us upsetting 'Gate and Dartmouth upsetting Union, Q or Clarkson would also have to lose.

That said, let's TCOB in Hamilton, and worry about LP if we get there.
