Damn it. I didn't get rid of game thread in time.

Scali still a scratch.

Video is up on Redcast, btw.

"Where are your fans?"

This broadcast is much. much better than the B2 broadcasts have been.

Very Good Start.

Joe Devin! (from B. Nash)

Greening for goal #2. LGR!

As are we. greening.

Looks like Greening not playing with R. Nash.

Al DeFlorio
Looks like Greening not playing with R. Nash.

Correct. Riley-Barlow-Jillson.

Lazy defense.

Riley missed on a breakaway and then Dartmouth scored while I was opening elynah to complain about it. I should stay focused on the video window.

B'ball leads Harvard 40-25 with 3:51 left in first half.

I appreciate the video but these D announcers are pretty tough on the ears. I'm particularly annoyed by the "we" used to describe Dartmouth throughout and the extensive color commentary over long stretches of play. I feel bad for anyone just listening to this without video.

New lines for Cornell

Barlow, R. Nash, Jillson
J. Devin, Gallagher, Greening
Collins, Mugford, P. Kennedy
Kary, Punches, Nicholls

B. Nash, M. Devin
Seminoff, Krueger
Davenport, Ross


Scrivens

There are no HD replays on the video either

Thank you, Estoclet.

All penalties called on our opponent are too lenient! All penalties called on us are atrocious!

Also I liked "Boy, I wish the Dartmouth fans would tell Scrivens it's all his fault. Because that would be cool."

Yale 1 @ Union 0 end of the 1st.

That was awful.

That sounded ugly.

Ben Scrivens apparently knocks the puck into our net with the top of his stick.

LGR!

Highlight reel ugly, in the words of the Green announcer. Worst goal I've ever seen.

Puck was flipped in high from beyond the blue line. Scrivens tried to knock it down and knocked it into his own net.

Yeah, it was a very harmless shot on Ben Scrivens. Dang it.

Lot of chances finally pays off, 3-2 Red.

Barlow makes it 3-2 Red. ~ 3:30 left in the second period.

LGR!

Didn't Riley score that? Looked like he brought it from behind the net and around the goaltender and just put it on the far side.

Cornell has responded very well to the own goal.

Al DeFlorio

When in doubt, crash the net.

So Gallagher gives 'em a chance to tie it again.

And they do.

Sleepwalking again.

Yikes. Thompson Arena is quite the house of horrors.

Another Green PP.

Followed by a stupid, unnecessary neutral zone penalty.

This is hard to believe.

That last goal Scrivens should've had. It was sitting right in front of him between his legs and he couldn't cover up. And we go on the PK again.

Mike needs to settle the team down. They are beating themselves right now. They have the skill and and stamina to beat Dartmouth. They just need to stay focused and play their game.

OK, Cornell pp. Come on guys, tie this up.

Cornell up by 20+ over Harvard. Last score had Yale up by 19 over Princeton.

Ugly hit. 5x3 Red.

That was an elbowing call? That looked like a clear hit from behind into the boards and should be a 5 plus game. And the classy Dartmouth announcers accuse Barlow of acting when he is reeling on the ground from the hit.

Finally a PPG.

M. Devin.

TIe game, lets play smart now.

Let's hope we settle down from here on.

Geez. Not 4 on 4.

"Double matching minors" when there were "four boardings...four interferences on the play on dirty cornell"

We were lucky we got the matching penalty there. I'm pretty sure it was called on the Dartmouth guy while he was skating towards his bench and skated right in to and shoved 2 Cornell players. Of course these terrible announcers accuse the Cornell players of going after the Dartmouth guy that skated near their bench, and then thought that the penalty was commited by the Dartmouth player while he was on the ice.

They've been skating faster than us, and it caused that penalty.

These announcers are effing ridiculous. Dartmouth scores on the power play in overtime.

Two tough losses in games that could easily have been won. I'm depressed.

And the Thompson curse continues...

13-1-3 in the first 17 games.
2-4-1 in the last 7 games.

Season started 13-1-3 through @ RPI.

2-4-1 since.

I only listened to the audio feed tonight, but according to Jason, there was some controversy in the GWG and the way the puck hit off the crossbar. The ref waived it off, but after consulting with the goal judge, it was allowed.

Anyone who watched the video (or who was there) want to describe it better than Jason did?

Another painful loss.

Yale now leading Union 3-1 midway through the 3rd.

Trotsky
13-1-3 in the first 17 games.
2-4-1 in the last 7 games.

I guess what I'd say is several of those first 17 games could easily have been losses, just as the last two losses could easily have been wins. Things even up over time when nearly every game you play is decided by a goal.

The Dartmouth announcers would be happy to give you an opinion.

Al DeFlorio

Yes, Cornell could have won the last two games. No question about that. That second Dartmouth goal seemed to rattle Scrivens. It was just really bad luck for the team. Scrivens is a tough kid though. He'll bounce back.

I think the new lines worked fairly well for Cornell. Sean Collins seems to be developing nicely. I hope he's able to take up some of the slack as the team moves down the stretch.

Some of the seniors are probably thinking about the number of games they have left at Cornell. Mugford and Punches look like they want some points before they graduate. Let's hope they get them.

I think the team will be pumped for tomorrow night.

I think the final goal was legitimate. The puck did take a funny bounce though.

The Dartmouth announcers were pretty obnoxious.

I had a pretty good angle and saw the goal bounce in and out. I was surprised to see the ref had waived it off.
I think the team looked pretty good tonight and could have easily won. Sometimes the puck just doesn't bounce the way you want it to.

I hope the team looks good tomorrow night and the puck bounces our way!

This is not how I want us to start this road trip

My only thought was that it was a crease violation. There was no question that it went in the net.

Rita

Yes, because I was there, and I happened to be staring at Gaudet for about 4 seconds before he scored. (Why? Basically because I thought "gee, Dartmouth has been timing the back-door play pretty well tonight. Let's see how they try to set that up."

The puck came from behind the net and worked its way around the near corner to near the left face-off dot. Gaudet came from the play behind the net to the far post. I remember thinking with the traffic we had placed between the puck and the net as well as the bodies we had on the offense that there's no way they could zip the puck to him...and then in a blink, *zip* *bang* in, done. He didn't even have to move his stick, he angled the hard pass and the puck jumped straight up and hit the "ceiling" of the net over Scrivens's left shoulder first and dropped down.

The ref first made a "wave off" motion and then held up his hands. He said a word to his colleagues and gave a long look at the goal judge. The Dartmouth bench had spilled over the boards to celebrate, but had to stop in their tracks as the entire ref crew (save for one linesman separating the 2 benches) went over to the scorers table and talked with at least the goal judge via walkie talkie. I had no doubt it was a goal, I don't even know why there was debate.

Also interesting was the fight the Cornell captains put up, with all 3 of them all emphatically demonstrating the "wave off" motion about a dozen times while holding court with the 3 refs by the scoring table before handshakes. Scrivens even came over and did the "wave off" motion and also gestured to the back of his thigh as if to say, "no, I felt it hit my thigh so it didn't go in."

Or, the way your goalie expects it to.

Scrivens ... gestured to the back of his thigh as if to say, "no, I felt it hit my thigh so it didn't go in."

Perhaps he was just saying, "Okay, now that the game's over, let's go get some fried chicken. I prefer dark meat."

it's winner winner chicken dinner... losers get nothing!

Mike and Joe add another to the list of brothers scoring in the same game.
