Cornell 0 Wisconsin 1

Joe Pavelski interview:

"..we gotta get behind them and go..."

"..improve special teams, work harder, more traffic in front.."

"..we need to get the first goal."

Sorta complimented McKee.

....these announcer are missing many Red hits!....

[Townie]

We're hitting, just not getting the BIG ones.  Probably trying to stay out of the box.

[redliner]

yup, I see a couple and they don't mention any. We're getting a lot of good hits.

[jpette]

Probably a good plan.  This is a HELL of a game.

Second period saw two very even teams play a punishing game. Wisco is more aggressive, Cornell more opportunistic. Their Dmen much more willing to jump into the play and forecheck; when Cornell loses possession the D quickly skate into the neutral zone and there have been a few loose pucks above the circles that could have been opportunities. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

Also, I love McC's playmaking ability but I think he always makes one too many moves. I will keep thinking that until the second he puts it past Elliott at which point I will know that he was right all along.

Wisconsin is getting all of the fancy highlight hits but are showing the wear of having to fight along the boards. Cornell is definitely winning the battle of the boards despite all of the open ice pyrotechnics ESPNU has been showing when the game goes to commercial.

So far, so good. It could be better but I'm very happy with where Cornell is right now.

[David Harding]

Wisconsin is also showing the fatigue through their need to ice the puck.

i keep hearing our band...does wisc have a band there? (or are they just playing a lot of the same songs that we do?!?)

If the guy from Casca is still having problems finding a place to watch, you're welcome to come to my apartment at ***.  Sorry so late, but I just read the posts and saw your misery at not being able to watch.  If you want to come over, call my cell: ***

At this point, this is nearly sudden death.

"Deep in the Heart of Texas" sighting!  (Er, hearing.)

[Townie]

we dodge a bullet!  UW almost scores

[ebilmes]

15:31 left. Cornell ices the puck. We've looked pretty flat this period.

Really.  One mistake could be the difference

[Townie]

We keep shooting wide!
