Yale/Princeton thoughts

[Greg Berge]

With the sweep, the seniors preserve a perfect record against Yale and Princeton at Lynah: 12-0-0 (8-0-0 RS, 4-0-0 PS).

look at what yale did today against colgate, with those players that were DQ'd. my gut tells me that yesterday's game would've been a lot closer had higgins et. al. been playing

[Robb]

Nice - now if we can just work on the Dartmouth thing.....

[Will]

It'll happen this year.  It has to happen.  Our guys are due. :-D

[Drew042]

I agree...great game tonight...their goalie played pretty well considering.
Anyone know what happened to Iggy who did not return after the second period.  Or why Pegararo was not in the lineup?  Adam may have said it on pre/post game, but I missed those.  BTW, section G was back to its orderly self as Gene came over and regulated:-P

[Will]

Indeed. I didn't witness a single person being ejected from G or thereabouts tonight. I guess things are truly back to normal...for now...

[A-19]

no, but you missed like 10 people being ejected from section A, as i was last night

For what?

[Al DeFlorio]

So what do we make of Travis Bell centering one of the lines (at least according to the CornellBigRed box score)?

supposed use of profanity during "we're gonna beat the hell out of you" at the beginning of period 3 on friday

I always wondered how close they'd have to be listening to you to actually get away with that... I mean, couldn't you just say "I saw you were watching closing so I held my tongue out of respect" or some cr@p like that... I guess they'd probably just toss you anyway. But what if they actually were wrong? If they picke someone who didn't say it. There's no way they could know for sure.

Guess that's why all this is bull$#!^.

Whoops, sorry Age, am I kicked off the board?;-)

funny thing is a got yelled at once too yet i have been saying "rough em up" ever since we were asked to change from f em up. so i told the guy that i said rough em up and the person next to me said that i did so i didnt get booted. of course nowadays i would have been caned for talking back  ::worry::

about the game, where was supermom! i was disappointed b/c i was hoping to point her out to some friends. that stinks.

as for the game 2nite:
PU did a great job clogging the middle --> good defense for the first half of the game or so. they did not get much pressure until later in the game but had some good chances. lenny was tested once or twice but a lot of the princeton opportunities were stopped by good defense or bad plays by the PU forwards...
cornell played well except looked chippy at times. vesce has some wheels and it was good to see him using his speed to motor around 2nite.
the team amazed me coming out the corners 2nite. i thought last year they were good at it and i guess i took the performance vs york for granted but the red were coming out of corners 1v2 with the puck. it was amazing.
i think that the shot that "hit the post" in the (third?) by i think vesce was in the net - it hit the back upper corner and came out - there was no ding off the cross bar. would have been a hatty if it was vesce.
team looked good even though PU was clogging the middle.
the goal on cam's assist was SO sweet. he left the puck on a drop pass and faked the shot --> goal from behind him. so sweet.

so that is all from me as it is now 1am and i need some sleep.
nite all ::twitch::

Supermom's son, Sharam Fouladgar-Mercer, wasn't dressed tonight, for whatever that's worth.

Somewhat related point: When he has played, the back of his jersey has read "Sharam."  I wonder why this is, especially considering that the full last name of Neil Stevenson-Moore appeared on the back of his sweater tonight.  Just food for thought.

[jy3]

yeah matt i was calling neil stevenson-moore "long named guy" all night, which I guess wasn't much shorter than his real name. i was not sure if sharam had graduated or not since the stinkin programs sold out before i could get to one  ::nut:: thanks for the info

[cbuckser]

For those who watched tonight's game: Did we dress and play seven defensemen and eleven forwards?  As Al mentioned, Travis Bell was listed as the fourth-line center on the box score on the cornellbigred.oscn.com site.  Was this merely a quirk of the box score software assuming teams dress the standard six defensemen and twelve forwards?
