Gleed limps off....

12:19 to go.

A puck jumped up on his stick and hit him in the face... not sure why he is limping.

Ok, only have audio here and just vaguely heard something about him leaving the ice (to the bench) with injury.

I had video for a second

Abbott to the box after it appeared Murphy swallowed the whistle.

9:27 left in the 3rd.

My Dad is at the game and sent this email at 10:01pm.

One of the abbot twins just had a huge collision behind McGee and lost both gloves and went straight to the locker room. I think he broke something.

Anybody hear that?

I can't even escape the Clarkson band in my house. Damn Them!!!

He was pulled down from behind and crashed into the boards. No call.

MSU 2 Michigan 1 in the 3rd
St Cloud 6 Minnesota 5
BC 2 Maine 1 end 2nd
Bentley 2 Mercyhurst 2 in OT

Penalty killed! 7:11 left in the 3rd.

Good Ole' WCHA hockey

minnys 5th goal was with 0.4 seconds left in the second!

I think Potulny has a hat trick after 2.

McKee struggles with an easy shot, Colgate just misses the net with the rebound.

Don't think Chris Abbott was hurt...He is back on the ice, I think.

5+ minutes left in the game.

I really worry about our low goal production, vs. a red-hot Sucks team that scored 10 goals today.

anyone have video back?

Cam Abbott called for an obvious hook. He needs to be better than that.

5:12 left in the 3rd.

ANyone got video? My feed has shit the bed. Cornell still playing well, despite the penalty?

Got another message from my Dad:

Both abbots are playing so I guess nothing broke except one's in the sin bin.

Big stop by McKee on burton! 23 seconds left in the PP, 3:22 left in the 3rd.

During the intermission, Wodon made it sound like the high score was a case of Devine and Dartmouth just not showing up tonight, not necessarily Harvard becoming amazing.

But yeah, 10 goals is scary no matter what excuses you can create.

I am watching the TV broadcast. Cornell has let Colgate back into the game with penalties.

3:35 left, not 3:22

Well, they are Dartmouth students and it is St. Patrick's Day. . .

Colgate called timeout presumably to rest their top line for the PP time.

Penalty killed, good play by Gleed...

2:48 left in the 3rd, faceoff in Cornell zone.

any video?

2:15 left faceoff at about center ice.

MSU 3 Michigan 1 very late in the 3rd

Seminoff takes an AWFUL penalty and Colgate gets essentially a 6X4 with 1:48 left in the game.

Dekanich to the bench with 1:20 left

Under a minute, Dekanich still in!!!

Dekanich never left, 39.9 seconds left faceoff in Colgate zone.

This is torture listening on the radio...

let's go red

24 seconds left, Cornell zone faceoff

Cornell takes a timeout.

Schafer takes a TO to get the coverage set.

I cannot agree more...

What should we do, as a group, to let the CSTV folks know of our disappointment for losing the video feed for the entire decisive third period?

Pegs ENG YEAH !!! we Win

demand reliability or threaten a boycott for next season

Pegs puts it in the empty net with 12 seconds left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOAL
Pegs!

worst announcers ever!!

GOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!!

That is game.

2-0 CU.

McKee shutout.

Bring on Sucks. It's time for revenge.

This should guarantee a spot in the tournament for Cornell

MSU 4 Michigan 1 Final
St Cloud 6 Minnesota 5 in 3rd
BC 2 Maine 1 in 3rd
Bentley 2 Mercyhurst 2 with 5 to go in 1st OT

16+ left in Minnesota, still 6-5.

This guarantees a bid to the NCAAs as I recall all the odd scenarios with Cornell out of the tournament required us to lose twice. However, the ECACHL will only get two teams in this year...seems kinda odd since last year the league seemed weaker as a whole.

I was able to watch about 2/3rds of that game. Dartmouth played no team defense and anything that touched a Harvard stick found a hole. If you watch the highlights of all the goals it seems like most of them are a Harvard player going one on one against a Dartmouth guy or getting a break away, throwing something in the general direction of the net, and having the Dartmouth goalie shepherd it into his net.

Not saying we'll beat Harvard, but it will be a very diffent game than Harvard/DC.

solid game from both teams, colgate just couldnt get much going. great game for mckee. seems like the pp has found the ability to use the forward in the slot play. it worked for bitz
very entertaining hockey game. now to see if we can go tomorrow

An odd third period for Cornell but good enough to survive. They didn't generate much but smothered Colgate's chances in the offensive zone. Colgate's PP was essentially useless - they spent most of the time chasing the puck behind Dekanich's net. Mugford's almost shorty was some awsome, strong work and Pegs' shorty was great. First, a clean tip to clear the zone then he got on his horse to chase the puck down the boards followed by a perfect flick into the center of the net. Beauty.

Cornell was the better team in all three periods even if the third period wasn't exactly the game they want to play. They still kept Colgate from really threatening much. No rebounds, few clean looks. The only scoring chances were less dangerous than they first appeared. Player of the game still goes to Dekanich, though. What a great game.

In the end, enough to win and enough skill shown to make me feel very good about tomorrow. And McKee kept the shutout, so Bill Howard will be happy. (Probably.)

See y'all in Albany tomorrow. I have to head over to the roll call thread.

Not to mention that we were absolutely robbed (by Dex and the post) of at least three other goals that were set up beautifully. This game wasn't as close as the final score.

The latest CSTV fiasco has sealed it. Even if we get sent to Freaking North Dakota, I'm going! Our local sports bar couldn't get any hockey feeds; they tried CSTV, fox sports net, and NHL games on their satellite dish. Also, because of March Madness wouldn't give us our usual table, They have wireless and we tried watching the 2nd period on Cornell Some-Access on a computer, but it was a mac, small screen and choppy (but the commercials were just fine) and we couldn't hear the audio and game tracker was 3 periods behind. So we came up to the lab for the 3rd period. No video, PC or Mac, but at least audio. Now I know what it is like to be huddled around a radio in the 1940's.

But Cornell won. that is all that matters. And I get to go through this aggrevation again tomorrow. So next week, when I'm trapped on a plane I'm writing a nice long letter to CSTV and Cornell athletics. This is UNACCEPTABLE, and CSTV can't blame this one on Cornell.

7-6 SCSU over Minnesota. 72 sec left, time out.

My recent email to the C$TV folks:

I am a college hockey fan and subscriber to your Cornell All-Access plan as I also am a 2002 Cornell University alum.

I enjoyed the first two periods of play of tonight's ECAC semifinal game vs. Colgate via your video feed. However, the third period was not available to me at any time, despite numerous attempts to reconnect and view the video feed.

Myself and large number of Cornell hockey fans are paying a fee to use this service. We have not received the service expected, and this is unacceptable. I expect that tomorrow night's championship game will be available for me to watch with no problems. At the very least, this is a disturbing trend in your video service that has happened before. Those among my CSTV subscribing group who cheer Cornell hockey are prepared to boycott your "services" (disservices) next season. Please reassure your paying customers that you are taking steps to ensure this kind of interruption does not occur again in the future. Thank you.

minne ties it up

Shouldn't we want Minnesota to win? Wouldn't they have a better chance of beating UND tomorrow?

I posed that same question in the Other Scores thread.

I agree with you, but it is hard not to cheer against Minnesota

Can't argue with that.

CSTV could care less. they only broadcast sports like hockey on web-feeds because they have you. They are in with schools for football and basketball, and one IVY school having a few hundred fans drop off hardly qualifies as even a nuisance.

I'd love better service, but I have no expectation of it.

Good luck getting any attention during hoops tourney time........

I think we should stick with the Red Jerseys tomorrow. No reason to take chances with any that are unproven in Albany

From USCHO...

Meanwhile, Cornell sets its sights on its second straight ECACHL tournament championship. When asked about Harvard’s having scored 18 goals in its last two games, Schafer smiled and joked, “I’m hoping they’ve used them all up.”

Cornell netminder McKee replied with a far steelier glare and tone.

“They’re playing us tomorrow.”
