Nothing wrong with it, but I can't do it. I just want whoever wins to be gassed.

Some guy sat down next to me early in the SU-MD game and asked me who I was rooting for. My reply? "A long overtime game".

Doesn't look like that'll happen, but we can hope.

Well that's not happening ...

Maryland's goalie is making a ton of stops.

CU77 · May 24, 2025, 05:10:41 PM

He's extremely good. Back in 22, he had 17 saves against 7 goals for Cornell in the national championship game.

They talked about how he's from Corning, NY about 20 times. I was most likely living there when he was born.

Hopefully we can solve him.

He can be vulnerable. Q&C neglected to mention that he had zero saves aginst five goals in the first half of last year's national championship game against ND, and finished with 10 saves against 15 goals.
And Maryland somehow lost to Michigan, Rutgers, and OSU this year.

"The brick wall from the city of glass."

How long were they waiting to break out that gem?

We better figure out some zone offense today or Maryland might just shut us out.

We've played well against the zone this season. Swinging it from X to Big Hugh for a step down is a zone buster.

Sure we have. But we scored 1 goal in about 17 min vs zone vs PSU

We hit one crossbar and CJ somehow missed a layup during that stretch

Yep. I haven't watched Maryland all year so I don't know what to worry about. Probably just as well. I expect a well coached team in all phases of the game.

I hope we can start the game less tight than we did against PSU. Coach is intense, but we play better when we're swinging the ball and having fun.

I would also like to see our ride have an impact on the game.

Didn't Cornell build a 10-6 lead against the same Penn State zone?

No, Penn State was in man-to-man most of the game before switching to zone.

I thought they switched to zone in the third quarter before our run though. I could be wrong though.
