hand pass on SLU...faceoff in SLU zone. Petizian back in.

And B. Nash with another penalty with 7 secs left.

Game over!

There's the horn!

My lord, the SLUt play-by-play guy is horrible.

"Aaaand..there's a whistle..Did it go in?"

"No, that's the end of the game."

I'm not superstitious. I don't believe in jinx. So I'm gonna say it right now. I smell a shutout for Scrivens tonight.

You got lucky this time...but we probably took all those penalties late because of you

Beeeej

What do you, do you want to tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing?!

LOL I smelled correctly!

Actually I thought they were pretty good. At least compared to Brown or Yale's guys.

He called the game action fairly well. But there were too many times when it seemed like he had no idea what was going on -- who got the penalty, who took a timeout, why the whistle was blown, if the puck went in or not, etc -- and needed his color guy to fill him in on what was happening. It made me a listener always unsure as to what was going on, mostly during stoppages.

It's an old tradition that goes back to when SLU fans tied a Mountain Lion to Cornell's goal a few decades ago.

You win.

B. Nash as the third star???

I am sorry to say I am old enough that I was at that Harvard game where Dave Elenbaas was greeted with the chicken. I offred the program to the Cornell archives last reunion.

Being a Cornell hockey fan means knowing that "greeted with the chicken" isn't a euphemism.

Indeed. We did win that game, by the way.

SCRIVENS!!! Two huge saves.

Anybody else bow down in front of their computer when Ben made those saves?

Possibly...

I would give the third star to either Greening,M.Kennedy or Krueger.

I'm not a B. Nash fan, and when you have 3 of your team's 7 penalties (one of the 7 as too many men), I think you'd have to score a hat trick to be considered a star. Perhaps it was meant to be R. Nash, not B. Nash?

It depends on when- during the intermission, some drunk dudes were sing just "hey baby." During the second, with the band's help, it was Bâby, as in the player.

Clearly a 5-min, by the way. 100% textbook. Grossly dirty. M. Kennedy could have gotten very seriously hurt.

Nope, I distinctly remember the color guy giving it to Brendon and offering some kind of explanation, while I was simply thinking "wtf?"

Box Score has:

1. Greening
2. Scrivens
3. Gallagher

That sounds about right.

Hardly, but I always thought that cheer was reserved for games that weren't closely fought with a one goal differential between the teams.

Man, now that reminds me of the ill-fated ECAC playoff series against Clarkson in 2004. We were leading them either 5-0 or 4-0 in game one, down to the last few minutes, and a guy down my row said:

"Hey, you know which cheer we haven't gotten to do in awhile? It's Friday night, and you can't--"

*red light goes off*

"Aaaaaargh!"

And we know how the story of that series ends...

The way I remember it, some idiots near me started the keys with 4 or so minutes left, which technically fit into the equation since it was a 5-0 lead, but there should be an implicitly obvious rider to that rule that YOU DON'T DO IT DURING A FUCKING SHUTOUT!

Well, all the keys are saying is that you lose. Unless you believe in some weird superstition, that shouldn't say anything about a shutout, shutout or not they still lose. I think we get way too critical about how people cheer. Let's be happy they do it; no one can say that only the people who post here know the correct way. I hate the prolonged die, but that's the way 98% want to do it, so what!

So, I don't see that everything we say is implicitly obvious, and I can still enjoy the game and atmosphere. We still out-cheer the rest, so go and enjoy it.

Wow, a lot of B. Nash hate. I've always been a fan, so take my post how you like. The explanation was "the defense was dominant, and Nash stood out defensively." Just because you took penalties doesn't mean you've played poorly.

Amen. I've never understood the presumption of some that the way they cheer (or used to cheer, during their time on the Hill) is the right way, and the way others choose to support the team and enjoy the Lynah experience is the wrong way.

So someone did a "You can't score" cheer in a one-goal game. Big whoop.

So some folks prolong Dieeeeeeee. Yes it sounds pretty bad, but does it really matter?

So someone jingles keys in a shutout. No harm.

We all still want the same thing...LET'S GO RED!

I cast my lot with Brendon. He's played through injury, worked hard, and Schafer often calls for him in big situations. Coach probably knows a lot more about talent and performance than we do.
