Yale-Cornell Part II

[Jim Hyla]

 I thought I'd start a new thread for todays game. Besides I was getting tired of having to expand the window size to read the whole post.

Anyway, I don't know if you all regularly read the Ithaca Journal, but they have a nice picture of http://www.theithacajournal.com/news/stories/20020309/localsports/1791637.html Murray's goal.

Watching last night I was holding my breath big time - many times as I thought Yale out hustled us and for about 50% of the game had a great fore check going.   Underhill was superb (I can't commit on the goal) Although higgins I believe it was snapped off a shot jst as matt was moving and it looked high and far upper corner from the other end of the rink.    I saw him definitely come up very big three times in second period alone!    

I will be there tonight and I will be yelling loudly from section N -  GO BIG Red
 
P.S.  Chris Higgins is really something he set up some folks on great plays and passes and we are lucky they are not quite his caliber or Yale would have had a few more!    Lombard played almost as well as Underhill!

I second that...he's an amazing player. He's physical, makes excellent, quick, sharp passes to his teammates (who don't seem to know what to do with the puck--if Higgins were passing to Higgins, he'd shoot it in the back of the net every time), and great shots. He's also very fast and has a great awareness of where all of his teammates are. I didn't really see how he played defensively, but I do know he had that one defensive miscue that led to the SHG by Murray.

I think the outhustling was something also present in the other game I saw at Lynah. Clearly, Yale is a faster team.  However, we are a bigger, stronger team that can wear them down with strong forechecking. I am hoping the guy sitting near me in my section (F) shuts the hell up with his constant commentary--"oh great pass. nice dump! theres an offisides there! thats a TEXTBOOK deflection" Enough already. Any of you have those people who deserve a two-minute penalty in your seating areas?

P.S. On a sidenote, for some reason, my section also *ALWAYS* smells like someone is just constantly cutting cheese.  After Murray's SHG, someone got SO excited that they stank up 3-4 entire rows. I dont know if they crapped in their pants or what...

I can't comment on the farting maniac, but I would have to say that is the one reason I wouldn't want to be in Lynah tonight! ::yark::

Surely playing Cornell at Lynah is showing Higgins what he's been missing.  What would he be like playing with the likes of Baby, Paolini, Murray, the McRaes et. all in front of arguably the greatest fans in the nation?  You better believe he's asking himself these questions.  Wrong choice sucker!!!
