Cornell at Dartmouth 11/8

[Trotsky]

What is wrong with these nets?

They've sucked ever since Dr. J left.

[Trotsky]

God bless quick whistles.

Am I missing something or has Major not been on the ice?

Trying to seize momentum into the latter half of the 3rd period with textbook Cornell Hockey. Encouraging but still pressing for the equalizer.

Disappointing that we got edged in that one. Don't know if the ice was sticky but we had trouble getting shots off quickly enough. Coach Casey opted to not use the timeout late in the game when you can be darn sure that Schafer would've.

You mean the timeout we lost when we challenged their goal for offside?

Dartmouth structure and officials aside, the team did not look sharp tonight. Quite a few unforced errors and rough passes

[Dafatone]

I am once again asking for a power play with less than two minutes left in a one goal game to extend the end of the game until the end of the power play.

We looked good in the third.  Had many great looks.  But if justice prevailed we would have been down 4-1 by then.

That was just a great final period though.  That was March hockey in early November.

I think we may have watched 2 of the best 3 teams in the conference tonight and possibly two teams that could crack the NC$$.

We need to get fat off the weak, though, looking forward.  No moral victories.

We were better in the 3rd, but had virtually no grade A chances. Our only goal was a softie. As often happens in Hanover, we developed fumbleitis and had trouble handling the puck. Dartmouth clogged the slot and we had trouble getting anything through to the net. The power play looked lethargic compared to the zippiness Dartmouth showed on their PP.

Dartmouth has had our number lately. Some of that may be due to the players' focus on the Harvard game, but a lot of it is due to better coaching and talent in Hanover.

I was in and out of this one depending on what mode of transportation I was on but from what I saw, Dartmouth did a great job of making our offensive zone feel like a phone booth. Active sticks and a great job on the boards. Still felt like the tying goal was right there until the final whistle.

That one isn't Cournoyer's fault but if just kept his composure and didn't flop around that's very savable.

I was at the game just above the face off circle.  He leaned towards the shooter almost falling towards him, which narrowed his body and stance.  If he stayed strong and square on his feet he may not have saved it anyway, but he would have had a better chance.  Right away, I thought of some of the comments on here about how he is solid but flops on his stomach too much.

^ All this.

The only genuinely bad thing was for much of period 2 we let Dartmouth skate in easily and set up.  We did not do that against Harvard.  But the higher quality opponent was some part of the difference.

Cashman was a savvy player and is an excellent coach and when he takes over for Pecknold Q is going to be even tougher.  Until then we have to worry about Dartmouth.

There's a huge talent disparity between Cornell and Dartmouth. Dartmouth lost two of its best players from last season to signing NHL deals after their sophomore and junior years. They have one draft pick, a sixth round goalie who splits time with the other half of their goalie platoon. They may have a good coach but we should not be losing these games.

It's just one game that could have gone either way. But "they have a good coach" doesn't really move the needle for me.

Clearly offside. A pity it was the game winner.
