Re: Brown Hockey 2012-2013:Climbing the ECAC Ladder
Disappointing result from a game which Brown seemed to control. Cornell was lock-tight defensively, and though Brown had possession in the offensive zone for most of the game, very little came of it. The defense and Borelli played their C game, and, accordingly, got torched by an opportunistic Cornell team that was content to play the neutral zone trap and passively cycle the puck in the offensive zone after going up 2-0 in the first period.
We really missed the play of Garnet Hathaway tonight. Cornell played a very physical game and muscled Brown off the puck constantly. Despite their tremendous efforts, smaller guys like Nick Lappin and Mark Naclerio were simply overmatched physically. Zaires tried to provide some physical play, but he was one of the only forwards able to impose himself on the hulking Cornell defenders.
I'll have a blog post later tonight. There's plenty to discuss regarding this game and tomorrow's do-or-die tilt with Colgate.
