Iggulden off a turnover. 2-1!

On the USCHO post it says Iggulden unassisted on a breakaway.

Iggulden wins it with a shorty in OT!

Man, they go away with that one by the skin of their teeth. I'm really getting sick of having a team who can't score.

[Greg Berge]

To be fair, nobody else in the country is scoring on Mayotte, either.

Way to go. We were REALLY shorthanded according to Gametracker:

>>> [03:08] GOAL by CORNELL Iggulden, Mike (SHORT-HANDED), On ice for CORNELL: Iggulden, Mike, On ice for UNION: Joel Beal; Jordan Webb; Matt Vagvolgyi; Jonathan Poirier; Josh Coyle, goal number 4 for season.

Indeed, it would be nice for Cornell to get 4-5 goals every game. On the other hand, winning in OT is always a morale-booster, and winning short-handed is a real morale booster. It has been a while since we did that and a really long time since we did it the second time.

A 1-1 tie to Union would have been one of those games where, at the end of February, we'd look backand say the reason we couldn't overhaul Colgate for the ECAC regular season title was failing to beat teams like Union at Union.

So now we're 1-1 in January, which is a darn sight better than 0-1-1 in January, and the team has a 1.00 GAA for the month.

Yep, and he has a trophy named after him in FL.

[billhoward]

So what was the first and second line of forwards vs. Union? Was it as Gametracker said?

[JasonN95]

And I didn't get to hear it, thanks, RealAudio. Please, keep my $7 this month, you've really earned it.  (I'm a little pissed off at the moment, if you couldn't tell.)

I think you mean 2-1.

Just got back from the game.  Unbelievable win.  Union is an extremely hard working team and they outworked Cornell for the first two periods.  Cornell played the third period and overtime like it was the playoffs, battling extremely hard and matching Union's work ethic.  Other than work ethic, Union has very little skill and no size whatsoever.  Mayotte played unbelievable to the point where it was gonna take a perfect shot to beat him, and Cornell had two perfect shots tonight.  Great win.  Cornell superior to Union in almost every way, but they worked soooo hard.  Best game of the season for Krantz.  Sawada was unbelievable but Dupree thought he was reffing a women's game so he called every clean check.  Unbelievable.  Officiating is a joke.  It was very much a playoff-like game tonight and Cornell battled harder as the game progressed.  Great signs in this win.  
The only negative is Byron Bitz who was just brutal.  Schafer finally took him off the powerplay in the second period after countless mistakes and the powerplay responded right away with their goal.  He needs to be moved to the wing on a checking line.  He is getting knocked down way too much for a player his size and struggling mightily with the puck.
