Cornell vs St Lawrence 02/22

1 SOG in 30 minutes. 18:01 1st - 8:41 of the 3rd.

Walsh 13-4 in FO.

Hope #12 on SLU is okay. He took a nasty tumble in front of Shane's net.

Holy fuck how did that stay out

BACK TO FIVE!!!! KEMPF!!!!!

Some nice 4 on 4 to end the game.

DALTON BANCROFT HAT TRICK

And we got maybe 2 hats and a dozen rally towels on the ice.

AND A RAYHILL POINT

Jimmy Rayhill.

Shane Shutout!

Rayhill point, and he pushed the defender out of the slot to open up room for Bancroft's shot.

No TV coverage of the ceremonies because fuck ESPN+ I guess.

Rego is handsome!

Suda is not!

Same. It was just the broadcast team that dropped. Very good.

Arthur drops in a “fan favorite” for O’Leary.

"Beloved fan favorite."

I can't believe that ESPN is carrying the post-game activities. It can only be because of Schafer. Not that I am complaining.

OTOH they directly fed the Schafer video into the feed. That was great.

Anyone have a semi complete list of which old players returned?

So it looks like if we sweep, Colgate beats Union and Dartmouth drops a point against Yale or Brown, we get fourth. Possible.

Man: after such a barnburner of a freshman year, Robertson looks so allergic to doing anything with the puck this year.

I think being in a pair with Rego has really stunted his offensive potential. Rego has been much more of an offensive presence this year which means Robertson has to stay behind the play a lot more to prevent rushes for the bad guys. The recent line charts show 4/12 and 5/21 as the pairs which I think is much better. Each of Robertson and Rego should be paired with a true defensive defenseman so that they can do what they are able to on offense.

I don’t remember many of the older guys besides nieuwendyk but I recall Nash, Iles, galajda, both tupkers, McInchak, Song, Muzyka and Locke from the more recent years, though there were many others, probably around 100 alumni in total. It was awesome to see the massive circle of them during the Alma Mater. I didn’t realize how much of a Cornell hockey sicko I was until I recognized Peter muzyka in the hallway.

arugula

I was wondering this too. Great game, Team. You really delivered for the Faithful, for Coach, and for The Team.

Some other general thoughts on the day: I’m really proud of the player that Sullivan Mack has become. He has really impressive speed and finishing and I’m glad that he has finally had a season free from injury, really likable guy. The other two seniors that I am really gonna miss are Oleary and Suda. It’s easy to overlook oleary because he is already the fan favorite but it’s important to remember why he is. He works his ass off every game and even though it seems detrimental at times (he spends half the game falling over after all) it is the type of effort that makes everyone else on the team want to work harder. Not to mention that he has found his scoring touch a bit this year (but it still seems like he is 0 for 30 on breakaways in his career). Suda has always just been a quiet presence on the team and a defensive rock. But when he gets up with the play on offense it really seems like he belongs and he can skate quite well. I can’t really put my finger on it but I’ve always just liked the guy, him being a fellow upstate New Yorker probably helps.

The Schafer ceremony was really nice. Seeing the huge number of alumni that came was great and Schafer seemed really touched by that. Schafer is all I know behind the bench and what he has done for this program is crazy. I really am going to miss him bad, it just calms my heart to see him behind the bench in a tight game but he deserves his retirement and I hope he lives it up in the warm weather.

Looking ahead, I’m not gonna raise my hopes and I’m still assuming we’re not gonna get a bye. We are currently set to play Saint Lawrence in our single home playoff game with the other teams that we are most likely to play being Yale and Princeton. Out of these teams I would most want to play Saint Lawrence, then Yale, then Princeton. Even though we handled Princeton in both games they have some good wins on the season (swept OSU) and it seems like smith can steal a game at any time, even though he has lost the starting role for them for now. We would be set to play colgate in the quarter finals but I honestly like our odds in a three game series as long as we avoid quinnipiac. Then if we can get to placid it’s real playoff hockey and seeding means nothing, after all Saint Lawrence made the final last year. Tonight’s performance has me believing that we can do this.

That was a blast. The students were great all night. The band played almost non stop. The result on the ice was appropriate for the occasion. The post game celebration was very well done. I don’t know when it will set in that he’s no longer going to be behind the bench but hopefully they can figure out a way to extend Schafer’s career deep into March. Congratulations Coach!

Totally bummed I had to miss this thrilling game but very thankful that the entire game AND senior celebration and Coach celebration were included in the ESPN+ broadcast!
That was a great surprise
Great job on both celebrations and I hear the events at the Statler were just as good.

Thank you Arthur!

And thanks for your contribution to making Lynah such a fun place.

Cornell has dominated possession for six straight games now. If they had average finishing ability they would be 6-0 in those games.

Really since Jan 1st only had a couple games of bad play and down 6-8 guys thats going to happen.

PP is what it is, it just a bad PP and we probably have 3-4 more wins.

How many teams have multiple non winning games giving up under 15 shots?

Yale
Colgate
Clarkson
SH (18)

We get outshot 30-17 vs Dart and lose 6-1. We turn those types of games into losses.

But clearly as the depth/health has gotten better, the effort and level has gone up.

scored 4-5-6-6 in the last 6 and the two losses we outshot them by 21 shots

allowed 2-4-1-3-3-0 allowed 2 PP and 2 EN 2 EA and 1 4x4

Just seeing the puck go in is helping.

Confirm Chris Abbott, who walked dss28 and me back to the parking garage, and said how much he misses his family back in Sweden but also how excited he is to be working with the Carolina Hurricanes. Brother Cam is now with the Chicago Wolves and could not make it back for the weekend.

Also just wanted to say - when dss28 and I recorded a very brief video (under 30 seconds) with our toddler Isaac to submit for Schafer's farewell (because without him leading the team, she and I likely never would have met), we did not expect it to get any attention among what we thought would surely be dozens if not hundreds of submissions. The fact that they played it during the game, and Isaac's "Go red!" to close it out got a laugh from the Faithful, just absolutely gave us life and warmed our hearts to an extent that it still has not faded a couple of days later.

It also more than made up for the fact that at the very first game of his life the night before, Isaac threw up a little on the very understanding woman in front of us.

I cannot wait for many, many future trips to Lynah with our son.

It seems to me like the team has finally gotten to a place where they’re consistently playing pretty well, but it’s probably too late now. Too late for an at-large bid surely and likely also for a bye, and the injuries and lack of consistency in the lineup have made it so that the team still can’t build cohesion. If the season were half over I’d think Cornell could finish well, but I think the hole they had to dig out of was too deep and it’s very remote that Cornell strings together a bunch of wins in a row to win the ECAC, particularly if they don’t get a bye. If no bye, I think the odds are well under 10%.

The past two weekends we have seen the potential of two of our most important offensive players get rediscovered (Walsh+Bancroft). If the rumors are true about a Castagna return maybe there's enough season left for him to get some wind in his sails. Still gotta get Robertson back as a driving force. Charlie Major has the makings of a player. The rest of this season is hopefully about extending Schafer's career and ruining a team or twos hopes.

I remember one from back in like 99 or 2000 when Arthur decided to hint to the team that it was in fact acceptable to score more than one.

I might be making that up, but in those days more than one was a pretty good night for the offense.
