Cornell at Princeton 2/21/26

[billhoward]

Excellent chance to build on the season's best game, Friday's xxx5-1xxx 6-1 takedown of Quinnipiac. We only beat the Tigers 2-1 five weeks ago at Lynah, bit they were riding highish back then, 7-4 ECAC vs. 10-8-1 and fighting for the final first-round bye. Going in, ECAC points, every team with 19 of the 22 league games played:
Quinnipiac   44
Cornell      41
Dartmouth    41
Harvard      32
Princeton    32
Union        30
Others       27 down to 16

If Cornell earns 1 point of the 9 available in the final 3 games, we get the first round bye.  First, we have to take care of the Tigers tonight. We also can hope for a Q stumble against Colgate, @Dartmouth or @Harvard. Princeton closes @Harvard, @Dartmouth.

6-1. Don't shortchange us!

Don't be jerks. If  you're at the Princeton game tonight. It's their senior night. About a decade back, some of the Cornell fans who stuck round razzed the Princeton team. This is a special moment for the Princeton players and their parents / siblings. I thought it was embarrassing.

Much better was the cheer a couple years before. We were shutting out a mediocre Princeton squad in their rink, the final seconds were about to tick down, but first a faceoff, and in the quiet of the moments before the puck-drop, one of ours yelled out to the captain, "Hey, Hobey, your team sucks, it's Friday night, and you can't score." That was okay.

The band should be making one of its rare appearances at Princeton tonight, so that'll be a nice change

[Give My Regards]

If Cornell earns 1 point of the 9 available in the final 3 games, we get the first round bye.

Actually, Cornell already has the first-round bye.  Harvard and Princeton would both have to make up 9 points in their remaining 3 games to knock the Big Red out of the top four, and that can't happen since those two teams still have to play each other.

I'll be there with sis (Cornell '01) and the next three admissions files already in progress:

• Niece 3 — Cornell '42

Twenty-five of us total.

Let's keep this train rolling boys. Keep your hands, feet, and other appendages inside the ride at all times.

"Somebody's stick snapped there."

I look up to see Castagna hightailing it to the bench.

DeSantis starfishing on the ice... standard Cornell hijinks.

[stereax]

Oh, the announcers are angry Casty ran into a guy on his way to the bench. Lmaoooo.

[stereax]

FFJOL mention on the cast.
