Fortunately, they were back in shape for UNH. Teacher, if I could have 4 minutes of your time, you might enjoy this:

Nice! You know, I've noticed NH having a lot of low-shot games...of course, I don't really follow them, so maybe they're just the ones I notice. A couple of seasons ago, UND held NH to zero shots on in the second.

That was horrifying! In fact, at first I thought he butt-ended that dude to the head. Those things are scary, and he deserves pretty much whatever they give him, and then maybe some more.

Any of you guys have any tricks to using a heat source to curve composite blades? I broke 3 of em trying to do it and am pissed (they were older sticks I was trying on first). I guess wooden blades are easier...may just have to go back to 2 piece sticks...

Here's the curve I like to use on a stick I was successful in heating and curving:

note: this is for outdoor roller hockey...for ice I don't shorten my blade and use a much less drastic curve.

AR_Six · Jan 21, 2010

You use a more drastic curve for roller hockey? Are you playing with a ball? How do you keep control of it?

NewYorkIslander · Jan 22, 2010

no we use a puck, but its thinner and a bit wider than an ice puck, and not as heavy...so the curve helps me out when shooting....backhanders come from near the heel and slap and wrist shots from the mid section.

Teacher - any predictions?

I'm hoping for a split. And for health, 17 players were ill last week and only five were dressed on the D.

KenN · Jan 22, 2010

I find ABS sticks to be superior on pavement, wood and composite sticks get chewed up way too quickly. ABS is also a lot easier to curve.

You're still looking awfully good. See, UND beat themselves last weekend, and it was sickening. Truly. The gave up a good lead to tie the first game, and the second game was a complete defensive breakdown for only about fifteen total minutes. Offensively they were good -- and I'm not trying to discredit Minnesota, who played well -- but UND really did beat themselves. I mean, c'mon...14-2 shots in the third and one goal?

gomestar · Jan 22, 2010

yeah, that was last weekend, Cornell went through a 2 game rut and then probably took a few verbal whooping from Schaefer and dismantled UNH. Same thing applies here.

I hope most of the students are back on campus at Lynah, classes start on Monday so many are likely still traveling back. Even 10% missing makes a huge difference and it's what makes Lynah so hard to play in.

Either way I'll be tuning in to watch, I'm very excited about this one.

and you cannot why? http://www.cornellbigred.com/showcase/#liveevents you have to register and pay a little, but it's not bad. Also, video and audio quality sucks, but this is with lynah tradition.

UND is playing great. They're clogging the neutral zone at both ends, especially at their blue line. Cornell can't break in. UND has had the one good chance so far. Cornell better wake up.

Cornell has been killing UND of faceoffs, however.

You can try putting your blade into boiling water. I have heard that some the players on my team has done it before and it worked. It also looks like Lidstrom curve with Easton sticks or a Pronger curve on Bauer sticks.

I'm a Leafs fan. This year has been yet another difficult one.

I'm not a fan of this threads title. 'Ice' Hockey has always been somewhat redundant in my mind. Honestly, if talking about hockey, and one confuses the sport for the field version, one has no purpose talking about it.

gomestar · Jan 22, 2010

1-0 Cornell from a 2 on 1.

great 2nd period, quite even on both sides. the first was all UND.
