Cornell at Dartmouth 11/15

I'm surprised no-one brought up the legend of Damian Rocke in the discussion of emergency call-ups.
In the 1996-97 season, he played in 1 game (maybe just 1 shift) and had 15 PIM. You can look it up.

Cornell was clearly the better team last night. On the road, down six injured players, they controlled the game. Dartmouth created opportunities off Cornell turnovers but otherwise they got pushed around and outskated. For a team that’s supposedly going to compete for the ECAC, Dartmouth was pretty unimpressive.

Cornell lost this game because of some of the worst special teams and some of the worst turnovers I can remember seeing from a Cornell team. Are the top three lines just exhausted from being over-shifted? There are big costs to not being able to field a full team.

You could see this coming with how Cornell has played so far, starting with the North Dakota weekend. The million dollar question is whether it’s injuries or something more fundamental. Getting back the injured players is clearly necessary to have a good year. The season is at risk of going downhill quickly if Cornell loses to Harvard tonight. Harvard, which will be better than Dartmouth both at creating turnovers and capitalizing off of them, will score at least six if Cornell plays like it did last night.

Holy fuck, I have never seen a Cornell team beat itself this badly before. Dartmouth did NOT look good. Cornell is just clueless on special teams and made so many unforced turnovers. I blame this one on the coaching staff. The special teams looked totally unprepared. Why are we still running out the same unit on the PP when we are like 0-for-20 this year?

Need to get players back from injury. Much harder to win when you have 4+ forwards in the lineup who are not a threat to score. Awful rookie mistakes by the freshmen and also by some seniors. Can’t even bench them because there’s no one else to turn to.

Totally embarrassing loss against a mediocre team.

Revisiting this post. Dartmouth is 1-6-2 since they beat Cornell. This is one prediction I got right, not buying into the Dartmouth hype.
