Cornell 2 Dartmouth 1 (OT), 1/23/26

Bearlover - time for your negative comment

Only because you asked (otherwise I wasn't going to comment this): We dropped to 12 in the NPI because an OT win at home is not a positive outcome for the computer rankings.

Is that true?  I thought it was a slightly positive outcome as opposed to a wholly positive outcome of a regulation win. Not to quibble but a win against a team ranked above you, even if in overtime should help at least a little. But hey I'm an artsy what do I know. 

OT doesn't matter at all but the game counts as a home tie, so, slightly negative.

Is that a change from the pwr. I thought pwr counted a ot win as a lesser win and a shootout as a tie.

So will you be going to bed upset tonight?

I'm so upset I won't be going to bed at all.

Let's not be too hasty.

Ok well exceptions can be made I'd pay to see a goalie fight in the NCAA

You're only about 28 years too late.

Wow.

December '98 is about four and a half years before I was born

Also, on TBRW, it's called the Leeor Shtrom Invitational. I wish there were video.

Shtrom is now the head coach of the Elmira Aviators in the NAHL. Interestingly, Andrew Horn, one of the d-men on the team, is committed to Princeton.

I'm not sure why, but Ian Burt becoming an accounting professor is one of my favorite Cornell-hockey-related things.

I can't think of Ian Burt without thinking of the guy who used to chant this in section B:

Burt. Puttin' on the Hurt. Burt. What rhymes with Burt? Hurt.

W-OT   0.52   0.48   56.76   2.73

Weighted win, loss, NPI vs, and QWB. I think.

Interesting bit of trivia: both goalies in tonight's game are Canadiens draftees.

I think it's actually a slightly positive outcome for NPI tbh. We are still down to 12 though.

We were 11 going in. I believe winning at home in OT counts as .52 of a win. We fell to 12 mostly because Princeton lost to Bentley while Providence, who was right be behind us, beat BU.

Princeton is in free-fall now. They and Dartmouth have both come back down to earth. Speaking of which, Dartmouth continues to not impress. We badly out-chanced them tonight. Good game for us and it's too bad we couldn't break through before OT.

We are back to 11 now because Denver lost to SCSU.

Hell of a game from
Kraft. Croteau was a beast for Dartmouth, only reason that game got to OT. I was surprised to see DiGiulian be replaced by Major at center, but they clearly don't trust him a ton, he only took four faceoffs. Great showing overall, tomorrow should be a good time at lynah. I've got my fish at the ready.

When I saw the line yahtzee irl the first thing I said was "who the fuck is taking a faceoff on that line?"

Looks like Casey had a similar sentiment, because I can't name a time I saw that line go out for a faceoff.

DeSantis out here crushing guys now too! Our big guys need to pick up the slack a little.

I legit went "you got creamed by NICK DESANTIS?"

Who, fun fact, weighs 170 lbs and is the lightest on the team.

...I'm pretty sure I weigh more than that.

(He did bulk up some 15 lbs from freshman to senior season, though!)

[Pghas]

rocking night at Lynah!  excited for tonight, would be huge to sweep the weekend.  Big Red were all over Dartmouth last night and frankly looked like the better team.  I didnt have the sense that they were moving Digiulian off of center as much as they were creating a speed/skill line with him, Kraft and Walsh. Those guys were absolutely great, I would run that back again for sure.

My biggest secret is I get such a kick of dropping an "I wasn't born then" whenever people who are significantly older than I am reminisce about the past to me. It gets 'em every time.

No, it just means you never got to enjoy the greatest time in Cornell Hockey!

Including watching something that will never happen again!
