Cornell vs Vermont Postgame Thread

[ACM]

[q]first on team defense (1.53; not sure why this is higher than McKee's 1.47; probably if the stats count a game as a game, not as per 60 minutes)[/q]

McKee's stats only include time and goals scored when he's actually in the game. Time when he's pulled for an extra player is not included, nor are goals scored in those situations (empty-net goals). Team stats include all goals and all playing time: McKee's time, the empty-net time, plus the few minutes Davenport played against Army.

I think Bitz needs a song. Maybe the students can tweak Supertramp's "Give a little Bit, give a little Bit of your ..."

Someone posted alternate lyrics to "Ballroom Blitz" last year which were not bad.

Of course, one can always just chant his name.

You must be right: It's the empty net goal McKee wasn't charged for that raises the team's GAA (less Davenport's ~10 shutout minutes vs. Army) to higher than McKee's GAA. Not that team GAA is for a game no matter how minutes of OT get played.

I came up with the idea for "Ballroom Blitz".  Someone else wrote the lyrics.

Bitz was better on the wing, but he still does not seem to be playing anywhere near his best.  He has not scored since the Mercyhurst game of last season.  I really have on clue as to why Schafer has him on the top line and the first powerplay.  But again, he was much more effective on the wing than he was at center where I thought he was brutal.  I'm thinking maybe he's playing hurt or something.

did he not break his ankle (or there about) prior to the season? anyone who has had a break such as this will tell you they are seldom the same as they were before the break. even when you have completely healed (in his case maybe rushed back too soon), you will always feel the ramifications of the break especially when the break is in or around a joint (e.g. knee, ankle, wrist). i'm no MD but i've been around enough to say this is probably 99% true.

is he playing hurt ...? we don't know. but i can guess he's definitely still feeling the ankle.

just my $.02 :-)

bitz scored a goal against canisius over thanksgiving.

Well... I'm willing to grant you independent credit.  Which do you want to be, Newton or Leibniz?

(To be honest, I'm sure hundreds of us thought of it the first instant we heard his name.)

Dozens? B-]

I was being magnanimous; get offa my cloud... ;-)

[q]I'd like to see the eLynah poll ask for Cornell's record in the final eight games.[/q]Hey, shoot for the stars!  I'm rooting for 18-0 from here on out myself...

"Ballroom Bitz"

That's clever, but tough to have the crowd sign along with that one. For me, it'll be tough to beat "hey, hey, Baby..."

Maybe, it could be "hey, hey, Bitzy..."

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I thought of "Kibbles and Bitz" actually :-P

[ben03]

he's gotta "kill someone" then ... :-D

 The final at Hamilton really makes our defense look special.  Cornell stopped a talented Dartmouth team who can really click when the D isn't up to the challenge.  I saw the Dartmouth 9-1 over RIP game and some of the goals there look liked like scripted practice drills.[/q]

In fairness to Dartmouth, they were without one of their top players due to a game misconduct the week before.  I think the team that beat 'Gate last night was a very different team than the one we faced.
