And that win sends us up to 55.85 in the NPI. Still 10th, but much closer to 7-9. We're probably clear for an at-large bid now, barring an epic collapse.

Trotsky will find one from 1982...


lol if it happened and he was there, he'll probably remember. These guys have memories like elephants.

If it happened in '82, it wasn't against the Deerticks.  And given how we played in '82, I suspect there weren't any penalty free games.

Splendid.  Safe bus trip, please.

Actually for a few minutes, we'd dropped to 11th (because Dartmouth's win went final before ours did).

That is a question for Arthur.

I don't know how it happened, but given the opponent, the margin of victory, the time of year, and how Cornell has looked the last three or four games, I will declare tonight to be The Best Game of the Season. Well done, team.  8)

So far.

IINM we have clinched at worst 3rd in the ECAC.

With Q and Dartmouth still to play, a 9-point sweep to win out gets us at worst 2nd.

Another fun thing, with the 5-goal win we are now 2 goals better than Q for conference D, a title we have not won since 2020.

Feed says they're chickens. And that this is something they did last week against Princeton.
I assumed it was we're an ag school hardy har.

I talked to one of them. He said proudly "do you see all those guys over there? All cocks!"
"Mark Mazzoleni looks like a guy whose dog just died out there..."
