Cornell 2 Yale 2

[Trotsky]

I'll take it.  That was a very dangerous Yale team.

Final. Good effort. Ungratifying result.

Except that Cornell mostly outplayed them.  What happened?

Very disappointing game in my eyes.  Just let that point get away with some sloppy D.  Let's hope O'Byrne can play next week against Colgate.

[MattShaf]

Not a satisfying game. Either we can't score even strength goals (which is true) or we play to the level of our opponent (and thus lack mental toughness). Tonites result and the weekend reflect poorly on the squad. Not to mention, we drop another point to 'Gate in the conference standings.

I thought they played better tonight than they did last night but this team has very little offense.  They can get shots but not many high quality chances.  This is the kind of game Moulson needs to be the difference in.  The McCutcheon goal was the nicest Cornell goal this season.

[Trotsky]

I think Cornell thoroughly outplayed Yale, but the Bulldogs never gave up and earned the tie with a late push.  It happens.

[calgARI '07]

Also, thought the officiating was the worst it has been all season.  All hooking and holding both ways was let go.  The hit from behind on Seminoff late in the second was probably the most blatant non-call of the season.  Thought that failed 4-on-3 was an enormous blown opportunity.

good effort, shitty result.

I am not blaming the refs, but they effected the outcome of this game. where do they get these guys? challenge industries? (ok, bad joke I know...)

That was an AWESOME hit on Ryan O'Byrne by the Yale player.  I know that O'Byrne got injured, and that is unfortunate, but that is a textbook hit.  You have to admire a good hit when you see one.

Speaking of hits, Cornell got outhit, and right after the O'Byrne hit, Sawada got hit in the neutral zone pretty bad as well.

Does anyone have video of the McCutcheon goal and hit on O'Byrne??

I think it was probably borderline charging judging by the speed he went in to it with, but I agree that the actual hitting part was pretty clean.

surprised there isnt a postgame thread for this game yet.
was the o'byrne injury a major one, in other words did he skate off the ice on his own?

Yeah he skated off the ice himself.  It looked pretty bad though...like a concussion type injury ::worry::.

[Dafatone]

Yale started to outhit us a bit toward the end, but a lot of the hits should have been called for some reason or another.

With about a minute left in the third period, Pegs got nailed by a crosscheck from behind, while he was on his knees.  Right in front of Hansen.  No call.

I'm not exactly sober, so I'll not list what I feel should be done to Hansen.  But I can say that both nights, I felt he was honestly endangering the players on both sides with his inability to see what was going on.

I think OB got an concussion on that hit he took.  Hopefully, it is not that bad since he skated off the ice under his own influence.  
I think Cornell gave this game away.  The third period was absolutely shit hockey, they did not attack at all.  In result, they gave up the tieing goal, which even though the barlow situation should of been a penalty I think we deserved to let one up since we sat back to protect the lead.  This game, our team did not have the killer instinct and our PP sucked ass, this is the sole reason why we tied a crappy ass team as Yale.  We have done this before this season that is why I personally was worried about this game since Yale was on a hot streak and we tend to take so called easy games lighter then we should.  I hope for the best next weekend and hopefully the D can pick up the expected absent of OB.  Any ways we some how climbed up the PWR after this game so I can not be that much upset.
