Better period. Results not there. We are in rough shape, but stranger things have happened.

1. XV is really fucking good.
2. This team ended up on the good end of what we thought they could be - young, talented, competitive in conference with top 10 potential but not at all a frozen four team (except for a massive fluke run).
3. They play pretty good hockey. Denver is on a different level right now, we're watching a solid top 15 team against a Frozen Four contender and the game is going as expected. Cornell is maybe a little unlucky to be down 3-0 after 2, but only a little.

Tom, I like your attitude!

Just give your all in the 3rd Red.

Indeed! I think Denver's too good, they look disciplined, but you never know. A shorthanded goal and a couple of bounces during the rest of the third ties it up.

I mean Courns barely had the chance to save the first two.

It is what it is, I guess. Honestly wasn't expecting the team to win this one just based on Denver being a lot better lmao.

We had a good run of it. Would've preferred more than an Ivy Champs + NCAA tournament banner, but the team did pretty well. It was supposed to be a rebuilding year, after all.

Now if they could blast open Hicks's top corners and make this fun again, I'd be really appreciative.

A bounce, a screen, a quick wrister, tie game.

Yeah this has been one hell of a rebuilding year.

Here's hoping for a longer season! 4-0 third periods are a thing there, boys.

I'm not giving up.

I hate to say it, but we're turning in a Harvard NCAA effort. Lot of individuals, letting the other team dictate everything.

At this point, we need more grease, more vinegar. This is where Schafer would have us crash the net every time. Stack the crease, get an ugly goal.

Rough night for Ashton. Missed a backhand shot, shoots on Courn with the rebound going to the wrong team, and then boarding. Yeesh.
Let's see some unconventional heroics, lads.

Rough night for the whole team

3 disgusting deflections.

Thank you to Casey Jones, the athletic department, hell, the whole team for embarrassing ourselves like this on a national stage.

Men against boys I'm afraid. We can't catch a pass cleanly, while they're making wildly skilled deflections.
