Cornell vs. Hahvahd Postgame Thread

[Will]

Hey Grumet-Morris!  Your last SIX games against Cornell called!  They said, YOU SUCK! :-D

[French Rage]

Someone should bring a "Cornell is your daddy" sign to Lynah East.

He actually seemed to play pretty well - 32 saves on 34 shots.  Of course, the Harvard announcer seemed to think every save he made was amazing.  Fortunately McKee was better (on half as many shots).

I was extremely impressed with our forecheck this game.  I was very happy the first two games but tonight was exceptional.  Keeping the puck in their end helped a lot.  Cam Abbott has excellent hustle - working his butt off to keep the puck locked up.  Plus, the shorthanded goal by Knoepfli was because of Carefoot's efforts on the forecheck.

How about Noah Welch tripping over the blue line in the 3rd?  I was hoping for some deja vu.

Grumet-Morris is a solid goaltender, although nothing spectacular, IMO.  What he has is an outstanding group of defensemen playing in front of him.  The group of Welch, Lannon, Reese, Hafner, Murphy, and MacDonald is one of the best units in the ECACHL - I would actually say the second best unit after Cornell.

So were most of the 34 shots on goal not high quality scoring chances?  I know we hit a post too.

Cornell had a decent amount of good chances,  but G-M did a good job limiting rebounds and Harvard's blueliners did a very good job clogging up the neutral zone and limiting Cornell's chances off the rush.  Again, Harvard has a very good group of defensemen that very effectively limited Cornell's high quality chances tonight.

I loved seeing Topher Scott trying to take on those much larger Hahvahd guys.  He's really becoming a fan favorite of the Faithful's.

But then Harvard will just win 4 in a row against us and break the hex. :-D

I was impressed with Topher but get that kid a smaller jersey or get him to a tailor!  His uniform comes to his knees and makes him look even smaller.

Hynes hustled too, and I think Polulok played another solid game.  This kid has poise!

[redredux]

What color jerseys did Cornell wear last night?

[/q]That was one thing that struck me last night (or at least as well as anything can strike you over i2sports)...  Pokulok seems to be really confident playing the puck on the power play.  That's valuable, and will be even more so next year once Cook is gone.
