Clarkson announcers mentioned him when the team skated out, too. Good to hear.

Clarkson can't count.

Clarkson can't count. Cornell pp coming up.

If you have the NHL network, they are broadcasting the St. Lawrence @ Colgate game. 0-0 early in the first.

I really hate the way the Clarkson play-by-play guy says "shoots."

Barlow must have the team lead in crossbars.

Barlow must have the team lead in crossbars.

And number of dangles along the blueline that cause offsides.

We couldn't even get set up once.

Mike Devin!

SCORE! M. Devin.

Scali!

Scali! or Nicholls?

Watching that game. Amazing how quiet (and empty) the rink is.

Phenomenal effort by Mugford there.

Just a diving effort to hold the zone.

I wish Scrivens would stop facing towards the inside of his net when he is getting up. Thats how one of the goals happened in North Dakota.

Big save by Scrivens on Cayer.

Yeesh...bad giveaway by Davenport. Haven't been impressed by him at all this year.

End of 1 at Starr, tied at 1.

He's played pretty well for stretches. I guess he and Berk will be playing "dueling doghouse" with Schafer until Ross comes back, since Whitney seems to have stepped his game right up to D-1.

penalty 16 seconds in on Joe Devin.

Great pressure by our guys right now.

Gotta stop taking penalties

Does anyone else love the Easthill Carwash jingle as much as I do?

It's been nice to see Riley evolve into an effective penalty killer.

Hate it. Gets stuck in my head every time I watch a game.

Exactly. It's effective.

Cowbell sounded pretty good.

Cowbell sounded pretty good.

Indeed...I think we can safely assume that Elie's mom won't be getting any phone calls from pep band members.

YAY for twins!!

Probably not, seeing as she was called already by the Cornell Annual Fund 3 weeks ago.

Sounds like a beer ad.

Cornell's forechecking has been great for the whole game. Clarkson has just 6 SOG through 2 periods, and I don't think the Cornell D had blocked many shots either -- we're just keeping the puck on the correct side of the red line.

Gate and SLUt brawling on NHL network

6 shots for Clarkson in the whole game? Or was that for the 2nd period?

4 in the first, 2 in the second.

Yup. I'm watching it, too. Now 5-1 SLUts

Barlow just can't catch a break. Big save by the Clarkson sieve.

Some nice pwnage by Nicholls there.

Did anyone else notice that the bear painted under center ice isn't there anymore?

Fuck. Soft goal.

Dammit no shutout

What is going on? Clarkson is not that good. We can't break out of the neutral zone now.

Seminoff plays goalie and makes a big save!

Greening is no Phil Kessel

He looked like a western bad guy getting it right in the chest. I think it was an accidental save.

can we score on the PP for once?

You're lucky - keep it up

Yes we can.

Oat
can we score on the PP for once?

yes

Greening is better than Phil Kessel! YES!!!!

Apparently the game moved to MSG and an ahole cheer started.

stay classy clarkson band, stay classy

Frustrated!!!!!!!!

North Country assholes.

Clarkson getting pathetic and immature now

WHICH TEAM IS THE WINNING TEAM!?

They started playing "jailhouse rock" for the CU penalty while gallagher was down being tended to.

Their band at least had one trombone player who tried to get the band to stop playing when Gallagher was done.

Unrelated anyone notice one of the usher's between section A-B manhandle some kid for trying to keep one of the beach balls going? You would've thought the kid was throwing a glass bottle or a grenade into the crowd.

Holy cow! My friend almost felt bad for bringing the beach balls! That kid got absolutely p0wned by the Evil Usher Lady. She was staring holes into the beach balls for minutes until she finally got her hands on one... and it slipped through her fingers. So she grabbed the kid who was next to her and really hadn't done anything wrong and dragged him out of the rink.

Yeah, I saw that from diagonally across the rink. I can see why they might be mad at all the balls reaching the ice, but really, that was gross.

As an aside, I think large balloons are easier to control, they don't seem to go as fast.

Two guys in Section B got pulled out for using a certain word in a song at the start of the 3rd period...
They were given a warning and were told that there has been talk of clearing out Section B (and giving the seats to townies!) because of language used by the Faithful in this particular section. This coming from perhaps the same Evil Usher Lady who said she's the head of Lynah Rink.

That kid should seriously file a complaint or something, particularly if he wasn't doing anything. Even with folks who are actually being a-holes you rarely see an usher actually get physical with a student. Imagine if that was his first game or a friend of someone from out of town, talk about leaving a bad impression.

::Looks at calendar:: Damn! I thought we had possibly escaped this ridiculousness, what with it being December and all. Oh well...

I am not a lawyer, so take this with the appropriate grain of salt, but I believe an usher making unwanted physical contact with a student would constitute assault. A police officer has the right to physically remove a person from Lynah. An usher has the right to ask a person to leave, or to call a police officer if the person refuses, but does not have the right to touch the person. Again, I could be wrong about this, but this is my understanding.

I didn't see it and have only the accounts here to go by, but I'm going to guess the usher's story is:
"I was trying to stop students from throwing a ball around. I was able to get the ball when an abusive student ripped it from my hands. I removed him for assaulting me."
Maybe she could throw in that he cursed at her or that she felt threatened.

I'm sure that's what she said. I couldn't tell whether he bumped her to make the ball fall through, or laughed when it did. However, the way she took that kid out was something else.

She turned around, and started pushing him with both hands and turning him around while walking forward.

I thought that perhaps the usher got mad because she is a pretty heavyset woman and nearly lost her balance on one of the top steps.

I had a hunch that that was the case. If so, then it's entirely warranted.

BMac
I'm sure that's what she said.

That's what SHE said!

Said usher placed herself in the middle of A for most of the first period waiting for someone to say some thing offensive. If we made fun of an SLUt player politely, she called us "smartasses." What a great time!

As I said in the postgame thread: I take responsibility for starting Jailhouse Rock for the penalty. I didn't see Gallagher down, and as soon as I noticed, we started trying to stop everyone. As you are well aware, once wheels are turning, sometimes that can be difficult, and I apologize for starting it. I honestly feel really bad

Thank you for posting this. It shows how we can defuse things before they get out of hand. A simple I'm sorry goes a long way. Off my soapbox now and off to bed.

This is what I figured the deal was. I can imagine someone trying to stop Dragnet with someone on the ice, with similar results.
