...and then I see the Lakers need a pretty profound change from the earlier trip this season. I told Ice that I would like to see Mercyhurst in Minneapolis. Couldn't get myself to pick it though...only going with the one minor upset pick.Minnesota Hockey

Re: 2013 NCAA Quarterfinal: Mercyhurst @ Cornell
Okay, so... I'm a jokester, a prankster, a smaaaahhtass to be sure, but I'm actually going to be quite serious for a moment. Analyze the box score from this season's previous meeting and you'll find....
After the 1st period, Mercyhurst outshot Cornell 13-11 for the last 2 periods.
Cornell scores once in those last 2 periods on a breakway with less than 5 minutes left in the game.
Cicero gets injured mid 2nd period and does not return, meanwhile she's back and skating like she never missed any time.
Penalties/minutes are Cornell 9-18 and Mercyhurst 5-10.
Credit to Ms. Slebodinick for an error free game but these two teams skated much closer than the 4-0 score would lead one to believe.
Ergo......
- IF the Hurst power play can turn productive,
- IF Hurst can effectively slow down Jenner,
- IF the Hurst goaler can remain consistent,
Then this will be a very exciting one goal game.
Oh, and by the way, win or lose....we still get to play one more playoff game than Wisconsin.....did you hear that GDS??

Re: 2013 NCAA Quarterfinal: Mercyhurst @ Cornell
So here's the funny thing..... swear this is the truth....
I clicked send, thought about the fact that Wisco had to play conference quarterfinals, and realized the technical inaccuracy of my quote.... and then I thought, it's all good.... ARM is probably the only one who will call me on it!

Re: 2013 NCAA Quarterfinal: Mercyhurst @ Cornell
Originally posted by DC78-82 View PostI picked Mercyhurst too, and it was after looking at that very box score. Another worthy stat to note is that the Rookie 'Hurst tender was pulled after the first, when Cornell scored three. Ciampa came in in relief and held the Big Red to one goal, and has been playing lights out since, including a stint last weekend as CHA Tourney MVP. I have to believe that a 3 goal deficit in the first against a team like Cornell may have shaken Mercyhurst's confidence that evening, but my guess is that they are ready for the mulligan.
All of that to say, I fully believe that both teams are very skilled and capable of winning. It will come down to who executes on Saturday.Last edited by mattj711; 03-14-2013, 10:50 AM.

Originally posted by ARM View PostThat seems to be a pattern of late with the Big Red. Against SLU, they became rather undisciplined down the stretch, took a few penalties, and got away with at least a couple of others. Two and three years ago, they were one of the least penalized teams, last year they were middle of the pack, and this year they are near the top. It may not matter as much in this game because Mercyhurst is up there in PMI as well, but that seems to be more a product of the Lakers' style over the years, while it didn't used to be the way Cornell played.
