According to the Boston Globe, Maine's loss to Northeastern was the first time they had lost consecutive games in their last ONE HUNDRED TWENTY games. Cornell 2 Yale 1 A Yale victory everywhere but the scoreboard. Cornell was out-hustled, out-shot (badly), out-checked, out-everythinged. Yale must have had 10 can't miss chances, but Ed Skazyk came up with impossible saves on half of them, and the Eli shooters just plain blew the others. Same old story for the Red special teams: the penalty kill looked good, and the power-play looked horrid. Geoff Lopatka played IMHO the best game of his Cornell career, while the Sancimino-Karam combo, after scoring the first goal, was unimpressive thereafter. Jason Weber scored the first of two weekend goals (two-third of the team's offense) and was otherwise invisible. Kinda justified Brian having put him on the late power-play against BU, though. Let me add to the growing body of empirical evidence that Yale has the worst PA in the league. In an earlier issue of our newsletter, we ranked Ingalls dead last in the ECAC for building amenities. (In fact, we ranked it as the worst place to see a hockey game in the ECAC.) Nothing I saw (or heard; or didn't hear) on Friday changed my mind. Cornell 1 Princeton 1, o.t. Heard this game on the telephone, via Teamline. The service actually works, and the sound quality was first rate; there were no interruptions of service. This game sounded like it was 67% Cornell, but I haven't heard a friendly broadcast in 7 years, so it may be a filtering problem. I leave it to those who were actually there to give their impressions, but I walked away dissatisfied with just one point. The fact that I needed to walk just 4 feet to reach my fridge cushioned the blow somewhat. Can't wait for that AT&T bill. I know this is the kiss of death, but tomorrow's game against BC is the first game against this team* which I think going in that Cornell has a non-trivial chance of winning. It will be VERY interesting to see who Brian puts in net. I still vote for Andy, but Skazyk has been so consistently lucky that... well, when do you stop calling it "luck"? Greg Boston Let's Go Red! (* That's since I became a fan, 12 seasons ago.)
