Obviously today's college kids have their priorities askew if they are skipping a lax game to study! What the heck?!?!

Right. This is something Cornell could easily fix. In years Cornell hosts the NC$$, either call off finals or just give students who turn in a ticket stub from the game A's on their finals.

As an intended consequence of the latter alternative, this would make Cornell's grading profile more closely resemble Harvard's.

I mean, heck, when I was up there Chad Levitt had the season where he almost broke Ed Marinaro's Ivy League rushing record (crazy the way that ended, btw). And yet you could still get a seat at the Kopf to watch that team. Hockey? Toughest ticket in town. RPI or Harvard in town? Forget about it.

Well, the Kopf does hold a few more people than Lynah Rink.

And to be fair, Cornell had a very good hockey season this past year, but the games I watched on TV were pretty sparsely attended (for hockey, anyway). I was surprised to see so many empty seats. Maybe it picked up late in the season, but I think people are still coming out ouf their COVID-shells, which might have impacted the lax attendance, at least early season, too.

They did a good job playing to their strengths all year, keeping games close and more often than not capitalizing at the end. Didn't have the gas to do so today. Burkinshaw was phenomenal in spite of being outdueled by Kirst. Rutgers did a good job of neutralizing Handley, who looked out of sorts to boot.

Congrats Penn & Yale on fine seasons after a long layoff.

It is just based entirely on 1on 1 dodging and outside shots. They Quakers don’t seem to move the ball enough and get many easy shots.Penn not getting the next goal when up 8-6 midway through the 4th quarter despite some good possessions was the key to the game. Handley missing the cage on what looked like a sure goal late in the game was a big play as well.
