Cornell-Harvard postgame

[KeithK]

He admitted that in the recap.  Said he thought the backchecker was there to cover Varteressian.  Nice that the guy coming off of the penalty kill had the legs to be in place for the goal, while the powerplay forward couldn't get back (2OT had a part in that perhaps, but hey, it's still nice).

Way to take responsibility, Noah! Despite being the team captain and letting Pegoraro control you like a marionette on the 2-on-1, you still insist that it isn't your fault! If a backchecker was there, why did you stay in the middle, between the two Cornell skaters, for so long?

[KeithK]

You missed my point canucksfan.  Noah was taking responsibility:
[q]"I thought I played it well just up until the last second there," said the Crimson captain. "I thought our backchecker was there and I thought I actually turned it into a one-on-one. I gave the guy the pass across, which is not my job. I should let Dov take the shooter, so I take responsibility for that goal.[/q]

Du was the backchecker who didn't quite get there.

Something fitting about all three goals being scored by seniors.

Ah. My mistake

I thought Pegs was absolutly amazing. The Blocked shot, his assist. He almost had a goal on a pass from cam abbott, but hyphen got his foot there in time.

Pokulok Played well all weekend, Cook was amazing. Mckee was awsome. great weekend, good job guys!

Pokuluk saw too much ice time for someone that hadn't played in so long.  As expected, I thought he struggled, especially breaking out of the zone.  I'm sure he will improve a great deal as he skates more.  He will really need to because I suspect OSU will go hard at Cornell's defensemen coming out of the zone as that is an area where they have had trouble.

Pegs definitely had a great weekend.

Pokulok looked better on Friday than he did on Saturday.  Reasonable since he hasn't played in so long.

Did anyone catch the all-tournament team announcement?  This recap says Moulson, McKee, Cook and Pegs, but then doesn't finish the sentence.  If I had to guess, I'd say Mormina and Cavanagh.

Avash showed me the all-tournament team...you're right about Mormina and Du was the other forward, not Cavanagh

F Moulson, Cornell
F Du, Harvard
F Pegoraro, Cornell
D Mormina, Colgate
D Cook, Cornell
G McKee, Cornell

MOP Cook (thanks Josh, doh!)

[Trotsky]

On Pegs -- I honestly thought he might have a shot at MVP, because his play both nights typified what it took to get the wins.  So many huge plays, so much hard work.  "What a difference in this generation!"

Because even with the problems of getting back in sync, he was the sixth best blueliner we had.  Next weekend he might be the fifth.  Or the fourth.

Never mind.  Upon reviewing your post, I realized I completely missed your point.  Happily, without it being "politely" pointed out to me.

You've missed your medicine again.  I can't stress how imporatant it is you take it regularly.

[Dpperk29]

funny, ok, so maybe I worded it wrong. He played well most of friday... and wasn't as good friday. and considering he hasn't played in 6 weeks, I would say he played well.
