Cornell 5, Quinnipiac Skating Deer Ticks 3 (Final)

Nice start.

And tonight the video looks great with VLC on Linux. I think I must have switched to Windows last night coincidentally with the Cornell end getting its act together.


Thanks to Avash:

Krueger, M. Devin, and Berk for Cornell (in the first 8 mins of the first period).

David Marshall (5x4 PPG), Ben Nelson (the 5x3 PPG), and Mike Atkinson (penalty shot) for Quinnipiac.



3rd period

0:13 Barlow, Greening

10:48 Mugford, Devin, Nichols

Who did Fontas replace tonight?

The audio sounds great, too. Clear and non-tinny.

Roezsler and Scali are sitting.

Whoo! The rocket works!

That was damn pretty.

Beauty! Absolute beauty!

Woohoo!

2 PPGs in a row after nothing the first two games. Much much better.

Okay, Kyle, you'll be starting the game threads, then?

Vetrie benched for second QPac goalie

That was a great set up by Greening?, very patient and drew the only d-man away from the slot. At least we are burying our chances tonight.

I should talk but: You're woofing.

Wow! What a difference a day makes or has their been an "invasion of the body snatchers" in Ithaca and our offensively challenged team replaced with goal scorers?

In either case, I like it!

LGR!!!

Beeeej
Okay, Kyle, you'll be starting the game threads, then?

Unfortunately, I'll be in Ithaca for some of the games, but I also have a good winning percentage there (probably well over 75%).

Maybe Age will let you borrow his iPhone so you can do the game thread direct from Lynah.

Back-door shots kill us on the PK.

Even when we have a good pk

Couple times, as Cornell attacks right to left, the cameera doesn't pan far enough left to stay with the action.

And I do wish the camera was on a tripod about 3 feet higher.

Where have you been for the past two years?

And I do wish the camera was on a tripod about 3 feet higher.

Then you'd be lucky if the cameraman pointed the camera anywhere near the ice.

Kyle

lampe was an ass last year

that's absolute horseshit

Leitch is a hack.

Boo!

krose
Boo!

how much you want to bet he's out on his next shift?

I don't know about that call, I've seen better

And that's not a great time for Sawada to take one too

TFA. 4:05 still left on the major penalty.

nice move captain...

What looked like it could be a real turn-around game for Cornell may be quickly slipping away thanks to an inability to think before acting.

I don't have audio or video. I'm relying on eLF for the game updates and this is very cryptic stuff. What happened to "goal scored by ___, assists to ________" or "that minor/major on ______ for _________ was bullshit"?

The ref signaled penalty shot.

We're lazy. Buy the video.

Kyle

Tied 3-3 on a penalty shot.

Berk took a 5 minute major. Sawada took a minor during it which led to a 5x3 goal, now a penalty shot for Q ties it up.

My video feed froze just in time for that too. Great all around period going here.

It must be nice actually scoring on penalty shots

Someone needs to teach our guys discipline. Not sure the enforcer (Schafer) is the one to do it.

Kyle

oceanst41
Great all around period going here.

Up until the 5min major, I actually thought we were having a great period.

Could anybody tell if Barlow got the puck when atkinson went down?

You're right, I'm just bitter my video dropped during a pretty important moment in the game.

That and this seems to be an entirely different team on the ice since that major. Nash goes to the box now.

Another penalty on Nash.

Hey, lets just keep taking penalties.

Wanted: 5x5 hockey

Kyle

Who said he didn't have video because he didn't buy it?

Yeah, I get it, Kyle: I'm a bad fan. This is a game thread: who scored the goals?

That's an awful call. 2 on 1 Mugford gets hauled down from behind but we get matching calls because they all ran into the goalie. I'm not a big Dell fan right now.

Lambie for charging the goaltender, CU to the PP. 1:58 in the 2nd.

BTSOM. If it makes you happier, I won't start another game thread after tonight's performance.

3-3 tied after 2. Yikes.

Maybe that's why I went with IBM with my last purchase. Any chance we can outsource Alex along with the rest of Dell customer support?

Right, Pradeep and Vijay will watch the webcast from afar and call them as they see them, in 320 x 240 resolution. Awesome.

13 seconds in Barlow from Greening

Woohooo barlow! Would've been nice if the camera wasn't all over the place for that one, but I'll take the goal anyway.

Barlow opens the third putting us up 4-3 and when we're leading, nobody gripes about bad angle shots the goalie is giving up.

for a couple bucks a year, we could own www.skatingdeerticks.com and link to QU.

Getting the puck out of our zone continues to be a great adventure.

while some puck moving defensemen would be nice, they really just need to make decisions when they have puck quicker.

krantz has played awful tonight

Mike Devin's second -- correction, a tip in by Mugford -- gives Cornell an insurmountable 5-3 lead after some very scary Cornell defensive play at the 10 min mark of the third.

billhoward
insurmountable 5-3 lead

Stop woofing.

You're referring to his skating the puck out in front of the goal with plenty of Qpac forecheckers in his face? Where the announcers ascribed his path as forced by the slew of white sweaters near him?

Yes, among other mistakes

Trust me, it's a lock, up 2 goals with five, six minutes to play. Other than say going up 5-2 on Wisconsin starting the third period of the NCAA semis, no way, no way could we collapse. But that Wisconsin game was a while ago.

HR reminds us those are not mistakes, but opportunities for personal growth.

Empty net for Quinnipiac, right?

In the current administration, he'd be worthy of a: "You're doing a heckuva job, Krantzie."

Cornell survives a minute plus of 6 on 5 and wins 5-3. Way to go.

Good that ENG (almost) trickler didn't go in because the camera wasn't able to pan to follow the puck's, what, 5 mph trajectory?

Yay! First W of the regular season.

krose

Yes. You forgot to sign your post.

/Kyle.

Would have been very uncool to start a four-Ivy-and-ECAC-game road trip with an 0-3 record.

The video is a HUGE improvement over CSTV. My one complaint, other than no pp clock, would be that the cameraman seems to zone out every once in a while.

Agree...but, given where we've come from, this is caviar instead of rotten eggs.

Agreed X2. Its much better. The camera work last year was distinctly worse, where apparently the goal was to zoom into the guy with the puck close enough to guarantee you'd never see what happened when he passed or shot it.

Yeah, the camera man does zone out some time, but its still a welcome improvement.

Yeah, I get it, Kyle: I'm a bad fan. This is a game thread: who scored the goals?

BTSOM.¹ If it makes you happier, I won't start another game thread after tonight's performance.

This is going to seem like a huge delay, but I'm writing from Paris, your message was at around 1:30AM, and just as I read it, the browser on this borrowed computer crashed AGAIN.² Throw in a blown three goal lead and I didn't have the energy to reboot this POS to NOT follow the game.

In any event, I wasn't specifically asking for Kyle to update the goal scorers. It was a cry in the dark for SOMEONE to post the scorers,³ the penalties, the time remaining, etc. Though it is nice when the initial post becomes a boxscore, that isn't what I was requesting.

I don't think that I'm the only person who reads the game threads of the games I miss before reading the recap on USCHO or CU's site. It is a neat thrill to "follow" the game through the eyes of the Faithful. This is my little thing and I don't expect people to write more for my benefit. But if someone is going to open eLF to type "yay!", why not "yay! (kreuger)"?

¹ This is not a great advertisement for the video I should be buying.
² You think last night made you hate Dell, oceanst41?
³ Thanks Avash and all who posted in the third period.

ugarte

It was perfectly clear from the call and from Arthur's announcement... I simply forgot by then.
