Seconds later, we're 3rd (and tied for 2nd).  Dizzy heights.

Damn tease, Ari!  Get typing!  ;-)

Watching the game on Tivo, Moulson looked really under the weather during his 1st intermission  interview.  Get that guy some Nyquil so he's ready to go tomorrow!

EDIT: Maine 3-1 over UHN   FINAL

[calgARI '07]

Cornell sat back a lot in the third period.  The only great chance they had in the third period was the one they scored on.  It was almost as if Schafer knew exactly what to do after the Colgate timeout.  After all, he knows Vaughn and for some reason Mormina pinched off the draw setting up the 2-on-1.  McKee was spectacular, making two saves in the third period that were unbelievable.  As far as I am concerned, he is the best goalie I have seen at Cornell since Jason Elliot.  I didn't think much of LeNeveu but I sure thought highly of Underhill.  The line of Varteressian-Iggulden-Carefoot I thought was Cornell's best line, shutting down Colgate's top line and actually outchancing that line.  Downs and Cook both were awesome.  Glover continues to impress.  Both powerplays looked good, but couldn't solve either goaltender.  Just an unbelievable win.  I really didn't think Cornell had a shot at winning late in the third period as they were totally sitting back.  What separates the good teams from the great teams is the great teams find ways to win.  The last two games have really pushed Cornell from "good" status to "great" status.  Now they have to win tomorrow.  It's gonna be really tough.

The current Michigan PWR comparison:

Cornell vs Michigan 
      .5859 1 RPI 0 .5724  
8-4-2 .6429 1 TUC 0 .6111 10-6-2 
1-1-1 .5000 0 COp 1 .7000 3-1-1 
     0-0-0  0 H2H 0  0-0-0 
            2 TOT 1  

The COp comparison is over.  The TUC comparson is still up in the air.  Michigan can still easily win this comparison.

The only way the BC and DU comparisons will stay in Cornell's advantage is if (a) we don't lose, and (b) they do.  We're going to take big hits to our RPI when we play Princeton/Yale/Union/Rensssleer

Still, it's nice to see right now!

Thanks, Ari!  I'm out!  'Night everyone!

Any chance one of the computer savy locals who Tivo'd/taped the game can video capture the winning goal and make it available on the web? Please? Pretty please?

And Minnesota would catch a break because BU (the top 4 seed) can't go west, so they'd get colgate (in a bracket with cornell and n. mich) and then BC can't play BU either, so they'd get a break and draw AHA/CHA team and Denver is left bitching about being the #2 seed in the tourney having to play a first round game out east against host BU.  At least the odds of it all shaking out this was are slim...
