Cornell 2, Harvard 0

The fish have been thrown, puck about to be dropped.

Glad to hear the fish made it on the ice without penalty repercussions

PP coming up (Waters).

LGR!

No goal but good passing, PP ends.

Hynes pokes the puck loose while Hyphen tries to cover it and it comes loose but whistle blows. Some pushing and shoving ensues with Topher right in the middle.

McKee makes great saves and Harvard gets a penalty while McKee is on the ground.

Interference on Cavenaugh.

Welch tripping penalty...so much for "clutching and grabbing" being Cornell's style...

Penalty on the hack Welch.

5x3 for almost 2 minutes.

Fuck. Goal light goes off but whistle had blown.

Donato whining about something...

Is there a way to access the chat via the web? The link I used last year (irc.warped.net) does not work anymore. I don't think I should install an IRC client on my work computer...

EDIT: whoops, sorry, wrong thread.

5:25 left, still 0-0

free audio from Harvard -- check the "free net audio" link

Cross-check on O'Byrne coming up.

GOAL! 1-0 CU!

SHG, Knoepfli

Shorthanded Kneopfli goal!!!!#@$!@!!

Edit: Great forecheck by Cook to get the puck.

SHG!!

Two Harvard skaters who can't even pass. Sad. That goal was truly a garbage goal. Harvard sucks...

Kyle

My first latte is almost gone...

you mean 2 harvard NHL draft picks who cant even pass, now that is sad

Well, safe to say we dominated that period, with help from power plays (the irony being we scored during theirs). Good saves by McKee, good possessions in their zone.

I'm in Huntington Beach, CA. Where in CA are you?

not sure who that's directed toward, but i'm in LA

I was asking ithacat, but I'm glad to hear from some one in SoCal . I haven't found any Cornell hockey fans in Orange County.

I'm someplace near Anaheim. I had a meeting today & was all antsy, plus they lost my bags so I can't wear my colors, same clothes for 2 days now...lgr.

anyone want to do me a favor and send me txt messages with scoring updates and a final score? i have to leave soon, i have a hockey game myself tonight

shameless plug: ucla vs. stanford, 8 pm in el segundo

You guys should start a Cornell Hockey Association of California. Not sure what you'd do but the shirts might look cool.

Oddly I'm in Palo Alto; a better question, is anyone here not in CA?

cornelldavy: Go Stanford!

as far as i know, it would be a 2-person organization...i don't know of any other red fans in socal

PP for Cornell

Stanford's in for a beatdown tonight...

I used to work for the Chevron Refinery in El Segundo 10 years ago. Where is the rink?

seriously though, i have to leave soon, anyone want to help me out with some score updates?

I wouldnt be surprised, they've lost 4-8, 1-8, 0-15, and 1-10, with the only win 8-5. But hey bad hockey is better than no hockey.

They're no Cornell.

How's UCLA's team?

the rink is at 555 Nash St., about a mile south of the 105...it's the HealthSouth Training Center, where the LA Kings and Lakers practice as well

We're 4-1, we beat Cal 4-3, lost to Cal 4-3, beat Washington 10-2 and 8-3 and beat Puget Sound 12-1...this is our home opener.

UCLA has karma on its side too, I've got a Cornell hockey t-shirt to wear under my pads

Cam Abbott just rang the chime. I'd help you out Cornelldavy, but I have to hit the road myself in a few minutes.

cornelldavy, you're not alone in SoCal. One of my friends is in grad school at UCLA, and I remember last year she went to watch the televised games with the LA Cornell Club. If you're not on their mailing list, you may want to check it out. Or come up here to NorCal and hang with us next week when we go see Murray play in San Jose!

I should get on that list...I'm still on the Cornell club of Philly list from when I was there after graduation.

O'Byrne first career goal!!

2-0

.

What is going on with the Harvard coaching? They can't even organize their lines properly after a whistle. And they're supposed to be among the class of the ECAC? Pathetic.

Kyle

empty net

LOL, who threw the octopus?

final?
LGR!
wish i could listen - but call isnt that kind

Iggulden, Knoepfli, and O'Byrne were Cornell's best players tonight. Easy choices.
Harvard had no more than four good scoring chances the entire game. Cornell's offense wasn't great, but Harvard has an extremely good blueline, so I am satisfied. Cornell was definitely the superior team tonight in almost every regard.

I'd throw Cook into that mix too. Played solid defense and moved the puck like Brian Leetch. All the talk of Noah Welch being an All-American but I though Cook was a better player - tonight, at least. Harvard was overmatched and aside from a few quick shots and a scramble in front of the netm didnt really pressure Cornell at all. The vast majority of the game was played in Harvard's end, and were it not for a few real great saves by Hyphen, it could have been much worse. I have to say I was a little dissapointed with Cornell's powerplay; there was one point during the early 5 on 3 that every player was within 10 feet of the crease and thats not an exageration. But overall, a great game played by Cornell.

They took their time-out to get organized at the end, having pulled Hyphen for an extra skater. But they took the face-off with only 5 skaters on the ice. It must have been 15 or 20 seconds before the 6th guy got into the play.

Cornell is looking good thus far, though none of the teams we've played have looked very strong.

Let's Go RED !! If it's Brown, flush it down!

Ken '71

nothing wrong with all the choices above, but i particularly liked the forecheck by carefoot (which set up the SHG), and the play of cam abbott.

LOL that was a big ass octopus. i was surprised someone successfully brought it into the rink.

Hmm, might have been difficult had they actually checked people. I know i for sure wasn't checked and i actually came in and out a couple times getting tickets to friends who didn't get there before warmups. Was anyone really checked? Or maybe it was the menacing look i gave any of the ushers/ticket takers and such.

The guy who walked in ahead of me was patted down. I was not.
