Cornell vs. BC 2-1 (OT) FINAL

End 2nd....BC still has 23 seconds of PP

1-1

Murray's back blocks a shot in final second, ouch but thanks! 23 seconds to go in BC pp when 3rd period begins.

I'm going to sound like a sophomoric prig (hey, what else is new?), but I'm *stunned* by how biased Sean Grande and Tim Sweeney (announcing crew) are. Sweeney *went* to BC, so I guess that's his excuse, but what about Grande? He's a good guy (I've met him a few times), but I'd say it to his face: all he does is say what an unbelievable job the Eagles are doing.

"It's a little late for Cornell to be going to the body."

"Every minute that goes by favors the underdog."

"I can't believe that (BC defenseman) was able to know how much time was left in the 4-on-4. That's like Rain Man!" (um, isn't there a big clock?)

And if he refers to Jerry York's notebook one more time, my mute button's getting a workout.

Harumph.

"No goal"

Boston Area audience: 2 million.
Ithaca Area audience: 20 thousand.

I hear Gary Glitter. Third period nearly underway.

Even strength again. Vesce opened the period by winning about his 800th faceoff.

BC knocks the net off as Cornell threatened but no call.

These BC announcers are really sucking.

16:16 to go in third. McRae taken down but no call.

Wow, 4 straight non calls against BC and then the first chance they call Vesce. 15:43 to go.

BC on pp, Cornell needs to be tough .

There better be a quick equalizer here.

Scramble in front of Lenny, play blown dead. 14:48, 1-1.

Knoepfli clears, shots 22-13 Cornell.

Even strength, BC 0x6. Paolini a couple nice set ups. 12:30 to go.

Vesce hits the crossbar and is taken down. BC penalty. 11:48 to go.

Mark McRae post! Vesce mugged no call.

Even strength. Eaves shot deflected in front. End to end action now. Palahicky nice clear and offsides. 9:03, 1-1.

BC scores, 2-1.

Murray arguing, Adam says LeNeveu was run down during the goal.

NO GOOOOOAAAALLLLL

NO goal! Man in the crease

Looks like it'll be disallowed...and it is.

I LOVE THE CREASE RULE!!! NOGOAL

DISALLOWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man in the crease.

So apparently what happened was BC player plowed Lenny, and while the ref's judgment was that the hit on Lenny didn't disallow the goal, the man was in the crease and thus no goal.

So, reviewing the reviews:

BC goal allowed
Cornell goal disallowed
BC goal disallowed

They still owe us one.

6:21

5:55, #1 line on.

BC ices, 4:48

4:48

LETS GO RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of play, faceoff in front of BC zone, 2:53 to go.

i want to hear more cornell cheering at the stadium...they ahve to pump up the team!!! KILL HORNBY KILL

Wow, a lot of energy in the closing seconds. We go to o.t.

End of regulation. 1-1.

going to overtime. Lets go red!

whoa this is impossible to watch!! i am so nervous for them...but i know they can do it. lets go red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the abbott fan

Shots were 8-7 for BC in the 3rd
25-19 for Cornell in the game.

Lenny saves the game on Eaves in the first minute of o.t.

LET'S GO RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 good chances for BC early. 13:31 to go in first o.t.

I'm so nervous

COME ON RED......KILL BC

9:59. BC ices. Cornell in control the last couple of minutes.

9:29 BC ices. Cornell really putting on pressure now.

Palahicky puts it on net and K with the juggle and save. Shots 30-22.

2 more Cornell faceoff wins, pass, shot, save and covers. All Big Red right now.

BC calls timeout with their first offensive zoen faceoff in about 10 mins. Cornell has the last 8 shots, most of them deadly.

BC getting some deadly shots

Voce (BC) hits the post!

BC icing 3:30 to go

Cornell winning about 2/3 of the faceoffs. Paolini, Hornby, Lenny have been great in o.t.

Lenny for Hobey!

Lenny 4 Hobey

Lenny two huge saves with :42 to go.

Teams trade great end-to-end chances in the final 5 seconds. End of 1st overtime, 1-1.

Well, ok, that was basically breathtaking for 20 minutes. BC controlled the first 5 minutes and had 3 great chances, Cornell controlled the next 10 minutes and had about 6 great chances, then both teams traded jabs in the final 5. Whenever the play goes to the boards Cornell had a big advantage, plus the faceoffs are about 55-35 Cornell thanks mostly to Vesce.

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE

MATT MCRAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And they set a Cornell Record for wins in a season!

The funny thing about Matt's goal is that it was on one of the poorer scoring opportunities of either overtime.

It was a fantastic shot. He was so deep, I didn't think he was even going to shoot it. What a game. That was such a great roadtrip.

To quote the great Alanis Morisette, "Thank you Providence."
