Nope.  Missed by a few inches on the TV replay.

very obviously went through the crease behind keopple but it didn't even clip the post

Great camera angle in the corner showed it was directed through the crease and didn't go in. Close call though.

Cross crease, but not in. Thankfully.

While I still think Cournoyer will be our main guy in net, nice to see Keopple play well and get the W.

Cornell looked really bad tonight but good to be 11 in the NPI. They seem positionally sound on offense and defense but on split second plays they either lack skill or get flustered, whether it be odd-man rushes (on which they almost never score) or breaking it out against the forecheck (so many failed clears and turnovers). I think the book on Cornell is to pressure them aggressively, they'll often turn the puck over and in the event they break the pressure they rarely score on the resulting odd-man chance. Cornell looked way better last night.

Cartagna had a rough season last year but that was probably due to bad luck more than anything. Last year his shooting % was a paltry 8.2, this year it is an astronomical 19.4 and he leads the team in goals with 7. As usual, the truth is somewhere in between.

Weren't both his shoulders fucked?

Not sure. Walsh's shoulder injury was documented, no idea about Castagna

I will however give them credit for overcoming a 5-2 PP disadvantage.

Pretty sure both Casty's shoulders were taped up by the end of the year, too.

Speaking of, 14-5 on faceoffs today. Up to 64.5 fo%.

Quote from: BearLover on January 03, 2026, 08:14:14 PMJason really needs to find a new expression to replace "through the screen," which as far as I can tell really just means "towards the net" regardless of whether there's a screen. He's been saying this expression many times a game for at least 15 years.
Jason did a great job interviewing the players (which aired during intermission).

Yeah, he played through injury too.

Could be, idk. I usually prefer to have an actual source (which maybe you have) that this happened, otherwise I don't think speculating about injuries (his shoulders were taped etc.) is that helpful.

This sweep helps our at large chances a lot. I miss the band and other students. I love going to Cornell hockey games no matter what but they really aren't the same without them.
