I asked this yesterday, but does anybody know why when I transfer the video to my television with an S-video cable, everything that's on my screen shows up correctly on the telvision, but the video box is all black? (And then of course if I go full-screen with it, my entire television screen shows black).

11 minutes before gametime. Stands across from camera lightly filled. LGR,

The live video overlay (or inset) is treated differently from the rest of the image. Not every PC handles it properly. If you can't get video at all on the TV, sometimes it helps to plug in SVideo, switch to SVideo, then reboot, and sometimes your PC all of a sudden understands what's going on. That's one issue you can't blame on CSTV.

When you buy your next TV, get one with a PC input. It's pretty impressive. The pixellated Cornell Webcast now plays on the big screen in all the glorious 320x240, or thereabouts resolution that's broadcast. From about 20 feet back, the image looks okahy.

Can you get any "application within a dialog" to display correctly -- for example, a YouTube?

The gearheads would know, but my first guess is that your PC doesn't know which window All-Access is playing in -- it is, pardon the phrase, a black box to it.

Edit: see, I knew they would know! (see actual explanation, above)

Thanks, my plan was to reboot with it in and outputting to that. Will do that in a few mins...

Scrivens is listed as the lead goalie tonight on Gametracker.

Scrivens gets the start in goal.

Half the things that ail your PC can be fixed by rebooting and if that doesn't work (not the case here) reinstalling your software.

The Union webpage says there are 23 people listening. I wonder how many of them are from Cornell.

That's the way start. 1-0 in thre first.

McCutcheon misses a wide open - WIDE OPEN - net from about 5 feet away. Coulda be 2-0 first 2 minutes

Matching minors. Thank goodness it wasn't a Cornell power play.

Romano. 2-0. Like I said, thank goodness Cornell didn't get a PP

I was one, but I'm on dial-up and the line can't handle the load, so I had to give it up (it kept cutting out). Keep up the posts for us primitives.

1 03:01 Cor Romano 4 (Seminoff 10)

Grr. Still no luck getting it on the TV. Oh well.

Well, that was the best 10 minutes we've played all year, including the Harvard comeback.

Did I just hear the Union announcer say "Cornell" and "blistering speed" in the same sentence?

Takes some getting used to, doesn't it?

pp units:

1: bitz, sawada, scott, mccutcheon, barlow

2: romano, davenport, gallagher, greening, krantz

According to Gametracker, SOGs are 14-3 Red. Wow.

Looks like Mike intends to rest his D-men during power plays.

End of 1. Now we need two more like that.

Cornell 2-0 after 1. It should've been 3-0, could've been 4-0. Either Cornell has the dosage right at last or Union is having an extra-off night.

Looks like we were playing on rocket fuel for the first 15 minutes. I got tired just watching. Scali, Greening, Kennedy and Romano were amazing. Scali especially is playing like a freshman Topher -- energy with abandon.

Shots were 19-3.

RPI 1 Colgate 0, after 1 period.

Trotsky
RPI 1 Colgate 0, after 1 period.

2-0. One more and we're in trouble.

Gallagher steals, snaps off a quick shot, 3-0. Kind of stuff that gets done to us all too often, LGR,

Trotsky
RPI 1 Colgate 0, after 1 period.

RPI has good first periods, I guess.

2 01:45 Cor Gallagher 2 (unassisted)

Kill unit 1: kennedy, mccutcheon, krueger, krantz

Now Carefoot in for McCutcheon, and he nearly gets a shg!

Union gets called because McCutcheon tripped himself up. I'll take it.

Romano draws a hold... 5x3 coming up for the Red.

... futility. No goals. Arrrgh.

Colgate has tied RPI 2-2. RPI somehow managed to get a triple minor. Where does the ECAC find these refs?

Maybe they're paid by the penalty.

This may sound stupid, and I'll acknowledge that. But how does one go about getting a triple minor??

Delayed penalty and do two more dumb things before the whistle is blown

And another pp combo: carefoot, gallagher, nash, carefoot, romano...

I think that the third base coach put up the stop sign keeping him from a home run penalty.

Seriously, I don't know what happened. There was simultaneously a single Colgate penalty. The 'Gate announcers felt that they would get the odd penalty. GO figure.

Colgate is now up 3-2.

Mugs looking good tonight, and he's keeping outta the box.

Solid second. Not as energetic as the first. Nice to get another goal in the third and keep Union in check as well. Also not to take the bait in case Union gets frustrated and starts elbowing.

End of 2.

Elsewhere, Gametracker has SLU 4 - Yale 1

Yale just showed it is possible to score on 5x3, it's 4-2.

Scott scores on a 3 on 2 break, fakes a pass, never passes,goes R to L, shoots and scores. Assist Seminoff.

SCOTT!!

Sawada on a semi breakaway. Makes it 1x7 for Cornell on PPs, 7x7 on PKs.
Assist Bitz.

Holy shit. A power play goal.

So, Greg, when was the last time we scored eight "unanswered" (also known as "straight" goals?

Let's see if Cornell can close it out by staying aggressive on attack. Go into a defensive shell to protect the lead and Union can chip away at the lead. Union gets its 8th PP opportunity. Even a blind squirrel finds a few nuts.

Wow 5-0. I would say the team could have done this last night, but I think Union is a different team than RPI.

Al DeFlorio

"Unanswered goal" is more PC, less homophobic.

We had seven straight unanswered goals 3 (4?) years ago at Princeton, the Ryan Vesce 7 point, 7-0 blowout, plus whatever we got in the game before or after.

1/7 - 1/13/06

Final 2 goals of a 3-1 win over RIT, and then a 6-0 win against Princeton.

Prior to that, Cornell had 10 unanswered goals against SLU (third period tying goal and overtime winner), Clarkson (3-0), and Clarkson (5-0) on 3/25 - 4/11/05. Those were the games immediately prior to Clarkson's comeback upset QF win.

What Clarkson comeback? It never happened.

And now IIRC Cornell has outscored its opponents 11-2 in the 130+ minutes that Scrivens has been in net over the 3 games in which he's appeared.

Scali on pp, finally.

Seminoff up to 12 assists already.

3 17:00 Cor pp Barlow 3 (Krueger 3, Seminoff 12)

Barlow PPG (CU now 2x8) with about 3 minutes to go. 6-0, Big Red.

He's either a terrific motivator or they're scared to death when he's playing behind them.

"an old fashioned butt kicking in Lynah Rink"
Union announcers at the 6-0 point

Interesting stat from Gametracker: Only two Red players don't have a SOG, Krantz and Kennedy (and Scrivens, of course).

Either way, it's good to see him getting a W tonight...and I'll say nothing more for the next 2 minutes.

OK, now I can say it ...AND the SO.

Union announcers are also asking the refs to stop the fight

On USCHO, the Union fan updating the score asked whether they could tap out. Been there ('87, '93), feel bad for them...

I like Scrivens, but he does some, um, odd things...I wouldn't be all that surprised if he took off down the ice and took a SOG...

First, there was the "check the guy at the blue line" play, for which he got a penalty.

Then, against Union, there was the "baseball-catcher moment" during which, on a puck deflected straight up, he went skating out to the face off circle with his glove out to catch it...he did change his mind and go back to the net, but it was unusual.

He also spent some time against Union putting the blade of his stick in the face of the guy in front of him when we were setting up behind the net. Just sort of blocking his view. Not bad, just a little weird.

If you watch him closely, he is one of the dirtier goalies around. He whacks people as they go by, elbows them when he can, whatever.

Are you saying we have some new incarnation of Billy Smith in goal?

I also noticed Scrivens shoving his stick, and sometimes his glove in front of the faces of oncoming Union players...was wondering what he was doing...just a dirty little tactic I guess.

Billy Smith led the Islanders to four Stanley Cups (he's the guy in my avatar) and is in the Hall of Fame.
