Cornell 3 St. Lawrence 2 (OT) postgame thread (not scores updates)

[Robb]

Does anyone ever remember Schafer saving players?  I can't.  Even when he's used a goalie rotation, it's been a straight alternation, not trying to match the better goalie with the harder opponents.

Because the background roar slurs voices, when kids hear "sucks," they think they're hearing more than that.

"Saving players?" If it's to rest them up for next week's big series, that's in two weeks. I think right now the team would like to be known as the one that won - correction, went unbeaten - its last 14 games of the regular season.

Question is, what if there's a (say) Ryan O'Byrne who's still marginal, does he get all his regular shifts? OTOH the coach never knows which shift it is on which he might aggrivate the injury. If Cornell were comfortably ahead (4-1 would be comfortable) maybe you'd give your fourth line and third defense pair more playing time.

And if McKee has a shutout going after two, does anyone think Chabot would get to play in the third?

Clarkson's tied for 8th with Union in a game that could easily be the last home ice appearance for their seniors.  They are going to want this game *a lot*.  Mike won't be screwing around; he'll play his best team for 60 (or 65) minutes.  He'll probably have to.

Actually, my recollection is that the better/hotter/more seasoned goalie did tend to get the tougher opponent.

Plus, I think there are a lot of players still trying to purge the memory of last year's QF series.

Clarkson has the tiebreaker with Union, so they "control their own destiny" for the last home ice spot; Union plays Princeton, so Tech won't be expecting much help there.

The latter.

Not a sure thing.  Last night's final: PU 5 RPI 2

Clearly you go to the St. Lawrence Centre Mall and ice skate ($5!)

props to Knoepfli for doing all the things that a captain should do, but again, big props to Iggulden for the assist, a vital setup for the GWG.

Tied Hahvahd and catching up to Clarkson.  I love all those logos and bar graphs. :-)
