POST GAME CORNELL 3-2 COLORADO COLLEGE

[Jordan 04]

Why the heck would RichS be anywhere mildly at the forefront of anyones thoughts tonight?

Enjoy what we just witnessed, savor the victory for 20 hours, and hit the rink (and bars) again tomorrow and hope for a similar result.

I feel like I'm still catching my breath..(I had to step outside SoF with about 6 mins left because I felt like I was hyperventilating)...

And, since I was the first to say this Big Red team reminds me of the disappointing 90-91 squad, let me also be the first to officially say "No, they don't."[/quote]

Really?  That team won its first NCAA game, coming from behind, as well.  Unfortunately, it was a best-of-three series, on the road.

Because he was taking unnecessary shots at the eLynah faithful over on USCHO yesterday, perhaps?

1.  What else is new? ::rolleyes::

2.  Who cares?

3.  The game was frickin' amazing. While thoughts of RichS may make it even more savory, I would think that shouldn't be necessary after that comeback.

Great game by Cornell. Really terrific, exciting hockey.  CC is a fast team?  Then I guess we are too.

:-D

When I realized Wednesday evening that I could actually go to the game, I tried to buy tickets on-line and was told that there were none available.  It's a long enough haul for me that I decided not to risk going and not being able to get in.

From the CHN article:  ""They wore us down with their size," said Tigers coach Scott Owens. "Everything took two or three times more to get the puck away from them."

Congratulations to our band and fans.  You may have been few, but you were loud enough for my friends and I to cheer along- Hey Baby in the 1st, rounds of Davy, Sieve, it's all your fault cheers, cowbell, Alma Mater, Gary Glitter in the middle of the 3rd (commercial and announcers so couldn't hear at beginning of the 3rd).

Keep up the good work.  You will have to all be at the top of your game to compete with the numerous Bucky fans.

Be proud, Be loud!!  LGR!!!!!!

well, time for bed. just finished watching the game. we had it tivoing and  my wife thought to extend the taping of the game in case it started late or went into OT. unfortunately she picked the broadcast that switched to the wild game! It switched right as cornell tied it up and then the recording stopped. I searched and found the 1130 replay and we only lost like a minute of playing time if that. sweet victory. i was VERY impressed with CC's speed and puck handling. I was also VERY impressed with how cornell turned it around and played a smart, tough game while also staying active in the offensive zone. the game I thought was called evenly, though some penalties were missed both ways, none too dangerous that I saw. KUDOS to coach for lighting the fire under their asses during intermission. look forward to the game tomorrow
LGR!
PS
I thought that the defensemen played a sound game. besides some giveaways early, great stickwork, great positioning, countless fast skating to overtake the CC forwards on oddman rushes or breaks. VERY impressive. Dave looked solid in net.

We've been supportive of ECAC teams if they were fortunate enough to advance (some of us even extending that to Harvard), and Rich seemed reasonable in the same vein. He's just a different ape when it's Clarkson still in contention against the Big Red.

[quote jkahn][quote nyc94][quote jkahn] (pointing to us, then CC fans) - "few fans, fewer fans, few fans, fewer fans."[/quote]

They did make the Faithful look good on TV.  And it looked like there was better attendence than Albany. Did the Wisconsin fans stick around for the nightcap?[/quote]
The place looked almost full and the Green Bay paper said it was a sell out, although the paper also said capacity was 8709 and attendance was listed as something like 7800.  The crowd was 95% Badgers and about 40% of them stuck around for our game.[/quote]

In whatever ways Wisconsin is the scum of the earth (such as keeping Cornell from earning an NCAA title in 1973, which is now pretty ancient) ... you've got to give their fans credit for being one of the two of three best fan groups in America.

Blather, blather, blather. The CHN story is about how poor CC lost, not about how Cornell won. At least the first couple grafs.

[quote Tom14850]
The one thing that impressed me was some of the speed shown by the Cornell players. I myself knew that Cornell had some good speed, but I was interested to see the comparison with CC, a team that is nationally recognized as having very good team speed. There were a couple of near breakaways where a Cornell forward actually outskated the CC defense. Part of this is "Hey! We do have good speed!" and part of it was Cornell wanted it more in the second half. Either way, it was exciting to watch.

I agree.  I was worried CC might skate circles around us, but the Red did a good job keeping up with the Tigers and really took the play to them the last 2 periods.  What a great win!  Congrats Red!

Was listening to the game and the net went down on campus here in Australia while we were down 2-0, soooo depressed. I can't explain how happy I got when the net came back up a few minutes ago and Cornell won!!! :-D So proud of the guys. Can't wait to listen to tomorrow's game and hopefully beat Wisco. Let's Go Red!! LGR!!! LGR!!!

I am not a Moulson fan since I think he is not a great captain, but kudos to him for such a great game!

PS If Cornell and MSU win tomorrow, the Frozen 4 would include all the Big 4 leagues.
