RPI will be up 5x3 for :48 after penalties to O'Byrne and Gleed.

RPI's leading goal scorer, Kirk MacDonald, is not playing tonight. Cam is out again, too.

One man back. RPI has the #17 pp in the country.

Is anyone getting the live feed from real Player? Mine says, "Please tune back during broadcast hours."

What is with all these penalties? Don't know why I shouldn't believe the RPI announcers--who have always seemed pretty straight--when they say O'Byrne's was obvious.

back to 5x5...good kill

Second man back -- good kill. Cornell 'cast didn't contest either call.

kaaren, I am getting the feed fine. Be sure you're hitting the correct link and reload.

RPI announcers said Schafer was complaining.

I have always had trouble with the Windows Media feed (and do again tonight), but the RealPlayer feed always comes through.

Is Jayson Moy still doing color on the RPI 'casts? Good guy -- used to be a hockey-l mainstay, back when we were young(er).

Pegoraro!

PEGS!!

Man, we haven't scored first yet this year

1 06:23 Cor Pegoraro 4 (Scott 7)

We want more.

Got it Greg...just in time to hear Pegs score!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LGR!!!!

Neither Jayson Moy nor Kurt Stutt are doing the broadcasts any more. Instead we have Norm MacDonald on PbP and Special Ed on color.

Cornell goes on the 4 x 3 pp

CU goes on pp, but our play was blown dead (incorrectly?) immediately prior to Moulson scoring.

According to the RPI broadcast, the skater for McKee got on the ice too soon. If that was the case, I can't see how it's not too many men, but whatever.

I think that play was something like a 2 on 1 for Cornell, with a delayed PP against RPI, but the extra man jumped on the ice before McKee got to the bench, leading to a too many men against us? Apparently they're being strict about that this year???

Or I'm totally off.

Edit: Right Jeff, wouldn't that have been a too many men? It wasn't apparently, but they blew it dead anyway. I'm very confused. Or perhaps the RPI broadcasters are just full of B.S. and if was just offsides.

It must have just been an offsides, it's the only thing that makes sense.

Even strength again. Despite all the early pp's, no ppg yet (RPI 0x2, Cornell 0x1).

Jets miss a FG with 2:00 to go; still 17-17.

Roethlisberger with a bad pass. Jets get another chance - they've got the ball on the Steelers 33.

Jet interception gives them the ball inside the Pgh 35.

[Q]Greg Berge Wrote:

Then pick off the Steelers on the next play and have the ball on the Steelers 33 w/ 1:46 to go

Meanwhile back at RPI, 2 1/2 minutes left in the first.

Have the Jets won a playoff game since Joe Willy?

Neutral zone action at Houston -- neither team with any good chances.

The Jets won last week.

[Q]Greg Berge Wrote:

Can't think of a better time to do it.

Have they won 2 in one year since Him?

Cook!

COOK!!

2-0 with 6.7 seconds left in the first!

COOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie Cook scores with 6 seconds left!

2-0 Big Red!

Ooh - sucks to be that guy. Not quite as bad as say, missing an extra point to LOSE a game, but still...

I think the announcers said the Jets won two playoff games in a row in 1983.

Scores from around the league:

Cornell 2, RPI 0, end 1
SLU 3, Clarkson 0, end 1
Dartmouth 0, Vermont 0, mid 1
Colgate 1, Union 0, end 1

UNH 2, Yale 0, late 1

Game on.

Martin in for Alford, and so we have maybe the first matchup of TX goalies in NCAA history.

RPI gets pp #3.

Lost the live feed and getting the same message..."Please tune back during broadcast hours." I'm about ready to scream!!!!!

I think there are special provisions in the rules where if you substitute early for the goaltender, it's just a whistle and not a too many men penalty.

And Cornell now goes down 5x3 AGAIN (O'Byrne crosscheck).

kaaren, the feed is fine. Try rebooting your whole system.

O'Byrne gives a crosscheck - 5 x 3 RPI for 40 secs.

Another 5x3 for RPI as O'Byrne takes his 2nd x-check of the game.

NOW ANOTHER CALL ON CORNELL!!!!

So, after Downs gets out we'll have another full 5x3.

Murphy sucks! Murphy sucks!

NcKee a big save an hold. Downs back. 1:16 to go on 5x3.

Downs clears. One rush at a time guys...

Cook blocks.

McKee saves.

:27 to go in 5x3.

RPI whiffs.

Knopefli blocks

Knoepfli clears.

O'Byrne back.

Carefoot skates it out.

:20 left on Pokulok.

EVEN STRENGTH.

Nice kill guys. Amazing.

RPI announcers said the third penalty could have been let go.

Steelers win.

Despite the extended 5x3 (about 3 mins worth), Gametracker has just 4 SOG for RPI this period.

Carefoot!

Carefoot!

Carefoot from Iggulden!

2 10:38 Cor Carefoot 3 (Iggulden 6)

Big Red going on the pp for a change

Hey, the arm works to call against RPI, too...

Knoepfli!!

KNOEPFLI!!!!

that was like the shortest pp ever

Knoepfli, from Bitz & Hynes! 4-0 on the PP!

Faithful ripping the safety sieve!

RPI calls timeout!

RPI announcers saying Cornell's "setting picks, as they always do."

Another Big Red powerplay coming up...

Another RPI penalty.

This could get ugly.

Gametracker scores (all in 2nd):

Cornell 4 RPI 0
SLU 3 Clarkson 1
Colgate 1 Union 0
Dartmouth 0 Vermont 0

Cornell pp #3 upcoming.

Even strength. The #3 pp unit didn't sound too scary.

Dartmouth has taken a 1-0 lead in Burlington.

RPI back on the pp

Good shorthanded pressure from iggulden and knoepfli

Shots are 16-8. RPI has almost as many power plays as shots.

holding call against RPI. I can't tell if play is getting sloppy, or refs are just whistle happy.

Even-up call on RPI. Cornell has now killed 22 straight pp's.

Another Cornell PP.

hooking call on RPI. Big Red going on the 5x3 pp.

1:16 worth of 5x3 for Cornell.

SCORE!!!! 5-0 with 2 seconds left in the 2nd.

Hynes!!

Hynes!

Hynes scores with 2 seconds left!

5-0!

Go Red!

Cornell will open up the third with :58 seconds of pp left.

It took 16 seconds of 5x3 to score.

Shots through 2 periods are 19-8. pp's, so far, are RPI 0x7 Cornell 2x5 (with another pending).

Gametracker:

Cornell 5 RPI 0, end 2nd
SLU 4 Clarkson 1, 1:00 to go in 2nd
Colgate 1 Union 0, end 2nd
Dartmouth 1 Vermont 0, 6:20 to go in 2nd

13 powerplays in two periods? I vote that Murphy is whistle-happy!

i vote murphy just sucks but then again y'all knew that

Per USCHO, UHN 7 Yale 2.

Yale was down 6-0. Ugh.

No argument from me

Why does RPI play this strange music in between periods?

Somewhat off topic, I'm watchin UAA-Wisconsin on the dish (it's 1-1 near the end of the 1st). There was just a scrum that resulted in a bunch of penalties. They gave UW an extra penalty to create a PP for Anchorage. What's notable is that the ref is Don Adam (who you may remember from the frozen four) and when he was talking to the scorer about the penalties you could hear him say, "I don't know. I make this shit up as I go."

Here are the longest strings of unanswered Cornell goals since the beginning of the 2002-03 season:

13 ... 11/8/02-11/16/02
10 ... 11/22/02-11/30/02
09 ... 2/7/03-2/8/03
08 ... 1/5/03-1/17/03
08 ... 10/3/04-11/6/04
08 ... 11/27/04-12/3/04
07 ... 3/15/03-3/21/03
07 ... 11/08/03
07 ... 12/5/03-12/27/03
07 ... 2/6/04-2/13/04

Current streak is 07.

O'Byrne going back to the box...

.. and we kill it off. 0x7, 23 straight.

Also BC 1, BU 0 after 2

Killed off.

Good work by the PK.
