Yale @ Cornell, Saturday November 15th

[Trotsky]

Is it wrong that I mostly don't want us to give up another cuz I don't want to hear his bullshit?

[Trotsky]

LOL we do the Rudsack ad too.  What a perfect parody of the Ivies.

Ryan deflection after some extended pressure! 5-2!

[Trotsky]

Nice flurry.

Caton Ryan and it's 5-2

Yale goes sieveless.

Walsh held it a little bit too long,maybe thinking about the empty net for the hattie, but Alexis to the rescue again.

[Trotsky]

Yale is outshooting us for the game.

[Trotsky]

I will take that.

6-derp point weekend!

All wins count the same. I'd rather not have Yale and brown outshoot us but oh well. Long needs to get that monkey off his back

Glad no one got hurt by the bad ice. Hopefully we can figure that out.

Things looked good before the delay but afterwards Cornell was a total mess. Cournoyer bailed out so many turnovers. The defensemen looked shaky.

The crowd was much better tonight, fuller and louder. Until the ice delay. It was nice that 80+% stuck around but I hope this doesn't deter the casuals from coming back. These early games are an opportunity to set the tone for the crowd and this was not a good look. Maybe it was a nice bonding experience for Section B?

Hopefully the rink can take the proper precautions and this doesn't happen again. I don't know how many more women's/men's double headers there are this season but maybe they can move the women's games earlier or keep the rink colder?

Cournoyer has been phenomenal, and PP and PK are clearly improved from last year's, but I'm kind of skeptical of this team otherwise. We aren't gelling offensively 5x5 and we have trouble maintaining possession through the neutral zone. Lots of confusion/trouble behind our own net resulting in failed breakouts. Weird mix of promising freshmen and experienced juniors. The freshmen are promising but the team as a whole has a long way to go. I don't mind the overall trend but not sure we're making noise this year.

Both RPI and Union are coming off good weekends. We really need to build the crowd energy up, so those on/near campus please drag your friends to the games.

I hadn't realized Yale ended up ahead on shots. That's absurd. CHN also has them as slightly ahead on expected goals (2.7 to 2.4). We looked fine until the third, which was frankly embarrassing (for multiple reasons). Getting outshot against Brown and Yale back to back, surely that hasn't happened in many, many years.

We should beat Union based on talent, but based on how we looked this weekend that game is going to be difficult.
