Cornell 2 - Dartmouth 3 (Final) 11/11/06

Since it is the end of the first and no one has started a game thread....

2 of the Dartmouth goals on the PP.

1st 7:58 DC Lovejoy (Johnson, Wyman) PPG
1st 19:38 DC Gallardi (Shields) PPG
3rd 17:38 DC Glass ENG
3rd 19:08 CU Romano (Swada)
3rd 19:28 CU Sawada (McCutcheon)

Through 2 periods
Davenport 20 saves (5, 9, 6)
Devine 35 saves (16, 10, 9)

BTW, a miracle happend tonight... ALL-ACCESS... audio AND Video during the pregame!!! WOW! And then the feed dropped with about 5 minutes left in the second period (but did comeback for the 3rd).

According to GameTracker, shots in the 1st were 16-7 in favor of Cornell.

Cornell seemed to be in Dartmouth's zone for most of the period, but I don't recall too many quality chances. Bitz's line had a scramble out in front of Dartmouth goalie Devine,

i was surprised that there was no game thread either. come on cornell, bring it back to a tie. PP cornell 10:40 to go still 2-0

7 of the last 8 goals allowed by Cornell have been on the power play

Rita...is your all-access still working? I'm getting a lovely "We're sorry, this game has not yet begun" message.

Cornell on their 4th PP tonight. Let's hope it is better then the 5-3 PP that they had earlier in the game.

10 min left in the 2nd.

It did that to me and I went back to the menu and clicked watch and it started back up again.

penalty city here.
cornell takes one to kill their PP then the green do the same...
still 2-0 dc.

Cornell PP ends with the Red (Romano) gets called for a penalty. Dartmouth negates their PP with a penalty.

I apologize for being bad about catching names and penalties, but hey I guess that is what gametracker is for.

Anyone else just lose All Accesss??

Me too, but fortunately, since the event has not yet begun (according to the CSTV message) the 2 goals by DU don't count.

The dartmouth radio guy is pretty bad at doing radio.

mitch misses a penalty shot

It sounds like hes doing the radio while running a Marathon

But better than CSTV is at delivering audio and video for the *entire* game.

Did we miss a DC goal when CSTV went down? I thought I heard the Dartmouth radio guy say Cornell was facing a 3 goal deficeit.

interesting that cornell is probably playing much more even game tonight in losing than they did winning last night.. wish they could figure out the power play..

video appears to be back now

some-access is back, and no we didn't miss a DC goal, he was talking about a breakaway that was stopped but what the consequence would've been.

Could somebody post the link for the radio?

"Aooarantly you can't take this Lynah crowd out of the game" -- Dartmouth radio guy.

give the guy a break. he does not have much experience, he is alone, and he is trying to do a good job.
more power to him

Yeah, he's trying as good as he can, but he sounds a few seconds away from fainting.

hooking on Dartmouth, diving on Krantz

about 7 minutes left

Yeah...I'm thinking along the same lines, saying to myself "This isn't a very good broadcast, but dammit if this guy isn't trying damn hard."

Krantz pulled down. Penalty to DC, but a dive on Krantz. 4x4 hockey.

PP as krantz is pulled down?
diving call?

->4v4

Ahh yes, the paradoxical Hook and a Dive matching penalties call, with krantz being called for diving although he was hooked.

Gotta love the refs

lovejoy with a hooking penalty -> pp cornell

Now just hooking (I only saw 1 door open in the penalty box area).

4 x 3 for 30 seconds, timeout Cornell.

Krantz really didn't dive either. It looked like he was trying to battle out of the hook and get free and he just fell.

Seems as though our PP could use some serious work. Maybe that's an understatement.

offsides

4 minutes left in the 3rd, even strength

2:30 to play. Faceoff in Dartmouth zone. Davenport pulled from net.

EN by DC
2:32 left

Dartmouth ENG, just over 2 minutes left.

1 minute left still 3-0

spoil the SO. 3-1 with 53 seconds left
romano

Late goal by Romano

2 goals in about 20 seconds!

3-2 with 31 seconds to play!

3-2 with 31 seconds left!

glove save with 5.9 left
quick win and a shot would work!

5.9 to play.

Faceoff in DC zone. DC wins it. End of game.

Well, this group certainly never gives up.

yeah they just didnt get it done 2nite. hell of an end to both games.
hopefully that will be the last home loss of the season (hockey gods are not angered by that statement)

Absolutely nothing paradoxical about it. In the ref's judgment, the Dartmouth player genuinely committed a hooking infraction, then Krantz exaggerated the effects of it in order to try to ensure the penalty call. Hooking on Dartmouth, diving on Cornell. Any questions?

Beeeej

From where I was sitting I couldn't really see Krantz. However, you kind of can't blame him for exaggerating it, considering the refs were calling every infraction on us and refusing to call extremely blatant ones on Dartmouth.

During the 3rd period, my friends and I noticed the ref talking to the Dartmouth coach for a while, and clearly joking around and having a laugh. Was there some kind of connection there that meant Dartmouth got the upper hand for ref calls?

Oh, please... are you listening to yourself?

The same referees work these games week after week, year after year, and the coaches know them all by first name. Suggesting that because Bob Gaudet and Frank Murphy had a couple of laughs, the refs were in Dartmouth's pocket, is the worst kind of desperate stretching for external reasons for the loss when the reasons were internal.

Go look at the box score for this game - Cornell called for eight penalties, Dartmouth called for ten - and ask yourself again if you think the officiating was lopsided. What was lopsided was taking advantage of them - Dartmouth scored on 33% of their power plays, we scored on 0% of ours. You can't win games if your special teams are ineffective, and right now our special teams are ineffective.

Sooner or later, you have to look at whether the team performed well enough to win the game, and stop looking for excuses.

Not looking for excuses, and I realize our power play really sucks (I think I said that in my post, or at least I have in other posts this season). I also don't think we deserved to win either game this weekend, and I was kidding about the connection causing Dartmouth to get special privileges. However, I did find it annoying (and slightly odd) that the refs would take the time to joke around with the coaches mid-game; I haven't seen that before. And I did think the refs treated Cornell a bit unfairly, considering some of the absolutely blatant calls that were missed.

Hope that message clarifies my point Wasn't trying to cause trouble.

(I only saw 1 door open in the penalty box area).

Actually our penalty box is not next to the scorer's table like the other one; it's next to our bench in front of C. There's a red telephone so the penalty box official can call Arthur.

On the topic of the scorer's table, has anybody heard anything about the PA system? As in, are they trying to fix it? It sounds awful! Plus there's the constant static/scratching/beeping that goes on throughout the game. It's just audible enough that it's driving me crazy.

It sounded like a speaker got blown out. At some point during the SUCKS game, they turned that one speaker off but I could barely make out anything the announcer was saying in A. They turned it back on, and it was easier to understand the announcer. Still, it clicks every half a second and is very annoying.

Those speakers must be really expensive and hard to get to, but I expect it to get fixed by next home game, since they have plenty of time.
