Army is even worse than McGill.  McCutcheon had another very good game.  Not too many players stood out though.  Pokuluk could turn out to be one of the top blueliners in college hockey.  The whole second line (Cam Abbott-Pegoraro-Sawada) failed to record points tonight, but every other Cornell forward scored.  Defense jumped into the play a lot more tonight than they ever did last season.  Very sold on the third and fourth lines but not yet sold on the first and second lines.  Was not particularly impressed with Moulson or Cam Abbott.

Second line -1 for the night across the board.

Vermont 3 - Minnesota-Duluth 2

Number 1 has been upset by Vermont.  Interesting development.

Excellent.  That should help our RPI a bit, assuming that the ECACHL will generally stink in OOC games as has been the case in the past few years.

pokuluk sure showed a lot of poised tonight..... what a shot !!!

The team looked alot better on PP and in the offensive zone overall tonight.  Alot better passing and coordination, which I think was the biggest thing missing last year.  Looks like the freshmen, hopefully, are gonna be able to contribute alot and it's hard to spot a gaping problem (of course its been one game).

Krantz struggled a bit, getting caught pinching on a few occasions.  Wouldn't be surprised to see Glover in for him tomorrow night.

Lots of good passing, and lots of good shooting.  I'm very pleased with the team this year.  The Army had a couple of good plays, but they didn't stay strong for long.  Also, for the most part, the cheers were kept in good taste ("RETREAT!" cracked me up).

Good game, can't wait til I see what Sacred Heart will be like tomorrow.

In my limited time here, I don't think I've ever seen another team score during Rock 'n Roll Part 2...that hurt for a minute or two.

[q]Was not particularly impressed with Moulson or Cam Abbott.[/q]Well, we know they will be OK.  Everyone has off nights and if you can manage to have them when your team wins 7-1 then I think you're doing OK.

I guess we weren't watching the same game.  McCutcheon was alright tonight but how many penalties did he have like 4.  Cam Abbott played a great game, just because he doesn't score you are not impressed?  Something he showed me tonight is that he has some serious drive.  Did anyone catch the pass to himself off the back of the net in the second?  That was somthing I used to see Martin StLouis do all the time, good stuff.  The guys that I think stood out the most tonight were Shane hynes and Ryan O'byrne.  They really looked like they gained strength, skill, and patience in the offseason.  I can't wait to see more of this.
