    I have to agree. Cornell was running interference all night but only got called a couple of times. The referees embarrassed themselves by allowing Mike Schaffer to question and ask for an explanation about essentially every call against Cornell.

      Probably fewer than the number of shots Brown took against Cornell.

        Harvard is about the most favorable first-round matchup we could have had. We're seriously lucky we don't have to travel to Cornell, Colgate, Dartmouth or Clarkson. Harvard is a quick bus ride away, and they're reeling right now. There's a very good chance we can pull off the upset.

          Agree. Despite the loss to Colgate last night, Brown played well. For the most part bottled up a very good Colgate team. But Colgate took advantage of the few breakdowns on D. Exceptional passing and discipline on offense. Watching Colgate twice this year live and a few times on TV, I can't believe that they only have a 4 seed.

          BTW, at the end of the season we should have some discussion regarding what can be done about getting fans to Meehan. Attendance on a Saturday afternoon on Senior Night was terrible.

            Kdiff - Thanks for the parking tip. Great spot. I arrived at 2:30 and there were plenty of open spaces. After walking down Thayer Street and coming back through, by 3:15 it was full.

              Everyone over on the Harvard thread is looking ahead to a quarterfinal clash with Yale. Let's hope the team does the same.

              Mike- glad to hear the lot worked out for you! I showed up at 3:40 or so, and basically had to create my own spot (I just parked in front of a snow drift). I've never seen it so packed! Usually, I have my choice of almost any spot in the lot.

                  I'm aware. I don't condone any of the extraneous stuff that Schafer does, but the officiating in that game was a travesty all-around. Far too common but it's not likely to change for now.

                    Wow, nice! It's been a while since one of our goalies has been the topic of discussion in a GOOD way.

                    Anyone making the trip to Cambridge this weekend? I figure with the basketball team deciding the Ivy League title next door on Friday and Saturday and the large number of Brown alumni in the Boston area, we have a pretty good shot at outnumbering the home fans! Ok, maybe that's a bit dramatic- but the place is probably going to be pretty empty, and the Harvard band will almost certainly be next door. Maybe ours will show up?

                        I can't make it Friday or Saturday, but can on Sunday. As believe the series will go 3 games, Sunday game should be a really good one. Brown takes series with win on Sunday. BTW, Brendan in an email has suggested Brown fans sit in sections 4 and 5 for the best seats in the house!!

                          ...so you can be jerks to the Harvard students and whine to the admins when you don't get your way?

                            Yes, an incident that occurred almost a decade ago involving a handful (or less) of fans at one game that took place three hours from Cambridge is representative of the way the rest of the fanbase conducts itself.

                            Let it go, man! You guys bring this up every time we're playing you- and, apparently, now even when we aren't.

                              Said incident, plus the off-ice results of Freakout 1987, have confirmed your school's reputation.

                                That was almost 30 years ago. The current players weren't even born. Move on with your life! You want to talk about reputation? You make your entire fanbase look like whiny, petulant infants.
