-- [ From: Kepler * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --
I have heard again and again that the officiating was lousy in this game. I
wasn't at the game. I say that, down 3-2 with most of a period to go, and
Ryan Moynihan skating in on Heffler with a 50-50 chance to tie the game....
the officials did not beat Cornell. St. Lawrence beat Cornell. The
previous night, Cornell beat Clarkson. And so it goes... I can't help
wondering whether we would be talking about this had we won, and whether we
would be talking about it if Cornell were not perceived as a better team
overall.
Congratulations to the Saints for a huge win under difficult circumstances.
If they took advantage of a particular officiating style and Cornell did not
-- well, to painfully paraphrase my own Faithful, "which team is the winning
team?"
In a month we will have our chance at Appleton, just as the Knights will
have their chance against us at Cheel. I love the precise and aesthetic
balance of the ECAC schedule and hope it never changes. For now, Cornell's
full attention should be on a grudge of their own -- to be played out for
(effectively) the Ivy League championship at the Whale on Friday night.
