*whew*

Very fast start by St. Lawrence, off to the early lead and putting pressure on the Cornell D.

M. Kennedy hits the post on the transition back from a SLU SH break. Now Kennedy being tended to by the trainer, but seems to be OK.

In about 30 seconds, Cornell goes from being on a 5x3 PP to being down 3x4.

A tone deaf hillbilly is in charge of the Appleton mix tape.

We've been here twice before against Colgate.

SLU deflection of a shot from the R point. 18:27.

And his brother of equal talents is the radio announcer along with his best bud, Wally. I loved this exchange:

"Play's been stopped. Did you see what happened, Wally? I couldn't see."
"The net's off."

That's the optimistic view!

Ah, the North Country trip...

Uncharted waters now.

Maybe we should stop fretting about where Cornell would be sent as a #1 seed.

4-0 now. Garman time? Maybe we should be worried about penalties.

Glad I didn't rush home and buy the B2 broadcast for this one, for multiple reasons...

Garman is in.

Anyone watching want to tell me what's going on? Are we looking awful out there, or has Scrivens just been letting in easy shots?

Probably both.

You're never as good as you look when you win, and...

There is a reason why I've never made this trip, despite liking the games vs. the North Country teams at Lynah.

Don't worry, the team studied the Yale game plan from last weekend. Look for four goals in the next period and a win in OT.

Shots in this period: 14-2.

And it begins!

4-1

Not tonight. 5-1.

Garman pulled with 12:50 left...interesting move by Schafer.

Mike pulls Garman, channeling Yale. I can't recall Mike ever pulling a goalie so early (or needing to, maybe).

6-1.

Mike pulls Garman, channeling Yale. I can't recall Mike ever pulling a goalie so early (or needing to, maybe).

And that leads to an ENG.

6-1.

Sigh.

Note to Schafer: we're not Yale.

ughh...some frustration...petizian getting knocked around a little too much...come on guys keep it clean

Well, that was unsatisfying. Maybe I'll have better luck checking the Other Sports forum.

... and start fretting about, if we survive (get to) Albany, where we get sent to play the #1 seed.

well we get the power play off of that it appears

never mind...major for Kennedy and 10 min misconduct

2 min for other kennedy

At least they're making it entertaining. It's almost worth getting the video just for this.

Please no Game DQs.

At least the men's basketball team won big!

Unbelievable. The best we can hope for is a tie from Yale-Princeton tonight which leaves us with a two-point lead in the standings. If Yale wins, that lead is down to one point. [Edit: Yale won 3-1] Finishing first is so crucial because it likely avoids playing Yale/Princeton until the finals in Albany. Not trying to get ahead of myself here, but every point is crucial.

Harvard also won too...

PPG for Ross.

7-1.

Can I go to bed now?

Please no Game DQs.

That's what I was thinking. Mail it in and start over tomorrow.

Whoops...mistake post.

Cornell should keep their heads together and keep playing hard. They are going to have to play Clarkson tomorrow night at Cheel.

A brave cowbell effort in defeat.

Oooo what happened or is happening

Nice shorty attempts by Collins.

jy3
Oooo what happened or is happening

Still happening. Great game by a home team vs total collapse by a visiting team. It's not as close as the score.

8-1.

I want to go to bed now.

8. And there's still 7 minutes to go. Is Troy Davenport dressed?

The score is terrible. But the St. Lawrence announcers are making it worth the seven bucks. Almost.

Wally the color guy apparently studied Art Carney's mastery of the Ed Norton character in the Honeymooners.

Oh, geez, now it's 8-1. Guess Scrivens starts tomorrow unless he's got the flu.

Whydid B. Nash leave the ice? Is he hurt?

Oh, good, Cornell gets a PP. That should start the comebook.

announcer says, "Cornell goes on the man advantage for the next couple minutes, unless they score."

Earlier he said the SLU PPG "negates the Cornell penalty." Am I too tired or is that not the right word?

20th game of the season.

19 goals given up in three of them. (6.33)
16 goals given up in the other 17. (0.94)

Sometimes a coin lands on heads a couple more times in a row than what you might otherwise expect. I suspect that is what happened with us earlier this season.

At least the women kept the score respectable against St. Lawrence -- losing only 2-1 to the team that stands atop the ECAC and ranked No. 4 in the country.

For all you history buffs, has a good team ever been beaten this badly? Someone has to be able to put this in perspective.

One more, and I'm removing the (t) from the thread subject.

I also resign from being the game threadmaster. I think I'm 1-2-0 this year (0-2-0 the last 2 weeks), and I was in the crowd for the 3rd loss.

Maybe, but it's been all tails tonight. My advice is buy Cornell stock tonight; it will never be lower.

And sometimes teams just have bad nights.

Games like this build character.

Why did B. Nash leave the ice?

Why did B. Nash leave the ice?

Nobody knows yet. Stop asking.

Schafer should take a hard look at Mike Garman and decide if he is really ready for NCAA hockey. Unless Troy Davenport has some kind of health problem, he probably should be getting some playing time.

A very good 1986 Cornell team lost Fish N' Fowl 11-3. That's what comes to my mind.

well i'd say thats about enough character building for me

According to Jason, SOG were 22-10 in favor of Cornell in the third period.

When was the last time we had that many SOG in a third period?

Yeah, it shows they didn't just roll over and give up at the end.

Unless the team has the flu, these guys will come out strong tomorrow night.

so many shots so little to non goals

Didn't we say something to this effect last week after the loss to Yale?

I think it was 2006 North Country trip that the team (at least McKee) had the flu. Not that I wish anyone to be sick, but at least it would explain a lot about this game.

Schafer kicked him out of the game. No joke

Schafer clearly just doesn't understand his style...he's very deliberate and smooth with his stickhandling

This game doesn't deserve a postgame thread.

I agree that sometimes you just get rolled over. The bounces don't go Cornell's way. The one missed bounce in particular: the 2-on-1 Kennedy and Kennedy breakaway (was it them - I'm relying on the SLU radio guy) early in the third that would have closed it to 4-2. It should've gone in; it didn't.

Scrivens gave up 4; Garman gave up 3. I don't think that means Davenport necessarily is the backup goalie for the next series.

Would that it was the flu that did in Cornell.

Is there a pattern: Quick teams do well against Cornell now?

The 22-10 SOG advantage for Cornell in the third shows Cornell did not play dead. And 35-39 on shots is pretty close for the game.

On to Clarkson.

I was something like 5-0 as an occasional game threadmaster, then volunteered to do, I think it was, an ECAC quarterfinal game when no one else wanted to. You know the rest. We never got to Albany.

I just turned on my computer. In case someone didn't notice, April Fool's is still a couple of months away. Would someone please post the real game thread?

Silver Lining:

5 of the top 6 (by poll) lost tonight. Wow.

billhoward
This game doesn't deserve a postgame thread.

On the contrary, I would like precisely such a thread after a night like this. Could someone who saw it give us at least a paragraph on what happened?

I'm at a friend's house so I'll have to wait til tomorrow night to write a longer summary.

But...as for B. Nash, he was involved in a little scuffle around the SLUt net after the Kennedy major. Schafer clearly didn't like something that happened, maybe that he was still going after Petizian, and as Nash skated towards the bench Schafer pointed towards the locker room. Nash obligingly walked off the ice and wasn't seen again.

Folks, this was just a terrible game. The shots in the 3rd were misleading because many of them were frustration-type shots from the blue line. Just awful awful awful awful.

Most bizarre play was Schafer pulling Garman with 11 mins left and allowing an ENG. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think SLUt had too many men out for the faceoff, Schafer assumed it would be called and pulled Garman, it wasn't called, and then SLUt scored. (?) Just caps up the night.

Let's win tomorrow. LGR.

Thank you Arthur. Things don't look as gloomy now. Common sense tells you that there will be a few bad games during the course of a season, but they still sting when they happen.

1973 -- BU 9-CU 0, Clarkson 10-CU 1. Cornell went 23-5-1, won the ECAC and lose to Wisconsin 6-5 in the NCAA semis.

To the history buffs, thank you for bringing the weekend into a softer focus.
