Cornell @ Princeton 7-0 FINAL

[Greg Berge]

Maine gave it a helluva look in '93.

[Greg Berge]

Cornell is outright #1 in the ECAC in points and percentage.

We should forever be thankful to BU.

What's up with O'Byrne???  4 penalties tonight is more than Noah Welch has all season... :-/

Right.  They made it to their second game, when they tied Providence.

[Josh '99]

When was the last time somebody put up 7?

USCHO has a picture on Vesce on its front page, but is that a picture from last year?  I don't see the captain's "C" on his jersey.

Yeah that's a picture from last year; I noticed that too. It also has that blue Frozen Four patch on his right shoulder area.

A single two-week period early in 1978 saw three separate 7-point performances by Cornell players, all at Lynah Rink. Each time, the Cornell player scored two goals and added five assists. Lance Nethery started the string on January 14 in a 13-3 shellacking of Boston College, Dave Ambrosia matched it in a 13-1 victory over Yale on the 21st, and Nethery did it again as Cornell beat Pennsylvania 11-2 a week later.

Nobody else scored seven points for Cornell until Ryan Vesce did it last night, more than 25 years later.

(It would not be correct to say that Cornell had seven-point performances in three straight games, however, as the Red also beat Clarkson 10-2 at Walker Arena on January 18, and topped Princeton 7-6 at Lynah on the 25th during that period.)

Man, tough crowd.

I had misremembered Maine's late loss to BU spoiling a perfect record.

But speaking of... what is the longest anybody has gone perfect since 1970?

I'm reasonably sure that the most recent was St. Lawrence in 1999-2000, who went 8-0-0 before Cornell beat them at Lynah, 4-0 (chant: "One perfect season!  No perfect seasons!").  I have a hard time imagining that nobody else has gotten past eight games since 1970 - but Cornell certainly didn't, not even in the early 1970s.  Anybody?

In reading this board after the game I noticed that two goals were scored while the broadcast was still in commercial.  Was this RealAudio or i2 video?  You posters seemed to take it much better than I would have.  

(FOX kept missing the first pitch during the playoffs, and it was driving me crazy.  Can you imagine if they came back after Boone's swing?)

[Q]Was this RealAudio or i2 video?[/Q]
Once agian, i2sports only does home games... people will remember it eventually :-).
And it wasn't just RealAudio, of course, it was WHCU . Same thing happened on the AM signal.
