Dartmouth is a thorn.

Gallagher PPG! Nice-looking powerplay.

Gallagher on the PP! From Greening and B. Nash.

Was about to wonder how long till we got a PPG. Gallagher answers the Q. That makes us what 3 x 9 for the year. Is that more pPGs than all last yet yet?

Redcast freezes

It's not just you.

Reload worked immediately for me.

No freeze for me.

2nd pp unit not as sharp.

Pretty good try by Nash as he was being hauled down...

Finally came back in time to see Nash's SOG from his knees.

Dartmouth freshmen are terrible. We are going to enjoy kicking their asses in the next few years.

I can't believe that wasn't a penalty.

Beg forgiveness from the woofing gods before it is too late!

Dangerous hit. later, jackass.

Stephens for Dartmouth is sent off for a game misconduct to the Lynah goon serenade. 5 min major.

5 min major and a game misconduct on Stephens for HFB.

Even with tinny audio, you could hear quite clearly, "See you, goon," as Even Stephens is escorted to the locker room. Two PPGs would put the game away. Will we get one? [edit add:] OK, 1 goal is workable.

awful play by m. devin to allow that break-away

Greening!!!!

Yes

Greening! PPG!

Just as I was about to ask when the last time was that we scored on a 5-min PP, Greening cashes in!

Greening!

Game not half over and the Big Green have a game misconduct and a 10 minute misconduct. They must be getting ready for winter carnival.

And now Jillson goes down from a hard hit and a stretcher comes out.

jillson got killed on that play

Jillson down on the ice after a bad hit. Looked like he was unconscious at first, but it's reassuring to see him moving now.

was hit a dirty hit? or was it a hard but clean hit?

Bob Gaudet's team in mid-season form.

Nice.

Looks fairly clean on the replay. Maybe a little high.

The replay seems to show that the hit was intentional. An elbow to the head is how it appears.

was hit a dirty hit? or was it a hard but clean hit?

based on the replay: it was open ice, and the dartmouth player is a lot bigger than jillson. the radio guy called it an elbow, but i disagree. clean, hard hit. you have to keep your head up

Clean but still horrifying to see how he went down. He practically pinwheeled.

Matching 10-minute misconducts on Goggin and Scali

Was a high hit, but looked to me like he got him with the shoulder. The elbow came up, but it looked like it came up after the hit.

After a "throw your clipboard" chant for Gaudet, Jason: "I guess his reputation precedes him a bit."

This game is getting chippy in classic Cornell vs. Dartmouth fashion.

Referees calling a zero tolerance game now. Makes sense.

edit add: patrick Kennedy going off without a matching Darmouth call. Holding. Maybe they're calling too many. And one for Riley Nash. Slash.

P. Kennedy and R. Nash sent to the box at the same time for minors.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Would be a sweet time for a shorty

5x3 against for two whole minutes. huge kill coming up, need to get back under control and escape with the lead here

Krueger hurt on that blocked shot.

"His dad and coach, Bob Gaudet, is very upset" -- if only someone had a copy of Will's famous Gaudet photo.

Gaudette junior also hurt on that series (hand?) and dad calls timeout.

All PP killed off!

Is our PK really good, or is Dartmouth just bad? Tomorrow may be a better game to tell.

Another Dartmouth power play!

Scrivens with a mask save!

End of 2.

And nobody left in the box

Live Stats say Cornell outshootng D 26-12. Kind of wish it was 4-0 with one more PPG and a SHG. How many shorthanded goals did we have last year?

The dominance of this team really reminds me of 02-03. If they can get that last finishing touch this will be a fun season to watch.

billhoward
How many shorthanded goals did we have last year?

I only remember two: M. Kennedy at NoDak, and Riley against SCSU in Florida.

In NCAA hockey, like the OHL, a check to the head is a contact-to-the-head roughing penalty. It looked to me like Estoclet hit Jillson's head as well as his upper chest or shoulder. It would have been a clean hit in the NHL, but a penalty should have been called tonight.

Dominance today, so far. Last week against Niagara not so much where it mattered.

And back into the box we go.

And back into the box we go.

Even a blind squirrel finds some nuts. Got to be careful how many PPs we allow.

Gallagher again on the PP! 3 PPGs!

Hot damn! 2, er 3, PPGs in one game. Gallagher!

And now Esposito's first at Cornell! Pour it on!

With a name like Esposito, how can you not be a scorer?

Dartmouth finally solves Scrivens, albeit on a funky deflection.

4-1.

Great 1x1 save there by Scrivens

Riley just misses the net on a 3-on-1 shorthanded rush.

Very true

B. Nash! 4/7 on the powerplay tonight!

Great backdoor play on the PP Riley to Brendon!

When was the last time we scored three goals in the third period?

imafrshmn
Great backdoor play on the PP Riley to Brendon!

Denying Gallagher his hat trick. Boy did he try hard form the slot 30 seconds earlier.

What a pretty feed: the kind of goal that always frustrates me when another team scores one like it against us!

Per the rulebook:
Penalty - Minor or major or disqualification at the discretion of the referee. Contact to the head shall be assessed in front of the infraction (ie: contact to the head - elbow).

The Dartmouth player didn't avoid the big hit, but everything else was clean. That was not a roughing penalty. Also, remember that Jillson is small so his head was on the level with the Dartmouth player's shoulder. On a bang-bang play like that, I have no problem with a non-call. It looked clean. If I'm on the Cornell bench, I'm pissed that he went for the KO on a defenseless player. By referencing the OHL, I'm assuming you're talking about the player who was suspended for the year for the contact to the head - boarding hit?

Please, no game DQs or injuries in last 2 minutes

Anybody lose the chat?

So do we borrow from the 70's Boston slogan "Jesus Saves, Esposito scores on the Rebound"?

And I'm ok with replacing Jesus with our goalie of the night.

C'mon...contact to the head is contact to the head. Good grief.

The rule is straightforward: "A player shall not make contact with an opposing player's head or neck area in any manner."

The referee has discretion regarding the severity of the penalty. Because Estoclet did not appear to be head-hunting, I don't think he should have received a DQ. But, contact to the head plus shoulder or chest is still contact to the head.

Well, I find it just shocking that a game against a Bob Gaudet team had a ton of penalties.

Bob is shocked as well.

Can anyone explain what happened with the Kennedy and R Nash penalties at 12:32 of the 2nd period? At 12:06, Gallagher and Bourgea had gone off with matching minors, leaving us at 4 a side. At 12:32, Kennedy and Nash went off for holding and slashing, respectively. Since we can't have fewer than 3 players (and the scoreboard only has room for 2 penalties a side), they only put Kennedy's penalty on the scoreboard. I assumed that meant that R Nash's penalty time wouldn't start til after Gallagher got out, and we'd then be 5 on 3 until Kennedy got sprung. But we were never 5 on 3, Riley's penalty was never on the scoreboard, and Riley was out of the box before Kennedy. What was up? Thanks.

Should we start a caption discussion for that picture.

There was ~35 seconds of 5 x 3 after the matching minors expired and before the Nash penalty expired. Nash's penalty went on the scoreboard as soon as the penalties were called and Kennedy's penalty appeared on the board (and started) as soon as Gallagher's ended.

Really, cornell got lucky in that case that the NCAA likes to play 4 x 4 hockey instead of 5 x 5 with matching minors. the 4 x 4 prevented Cornell from having to play down 2 men for 2 minutes instead of 35 seconds.

I was watching on Redcast, but here's what I think I saw which is also what should've happened:
First, of the two, they ran Riley's penalty before Kennedy. So from 12:32 to 14:06 it's 4 vs. 3. Bourgea comes out but since Kennedy's penalty starts as Gallagher's ends, Gallagher can't come out as it's 5 vs. 3. That lasts only 26 seconds and when Riley's penalty ends we get a man back and it's 5 vs. 4 for another 1:34.
It seemed to me it was 5 vs. 3 for a short time, but if that didn't happen,then someone blew it and let a Cornell player out early.

And it seemed to me that we got to pick which man was first out. After the guys were in the box, Greening was talking to the officials and it looked like he asked if he could go to the penalty box. He did and I'm assuming he told them Riley would be first out . I'm remembering that Kennedy's penalty was put on the board first as I was surprised when Riley came out and they changed the number on the board back to Kennedy. I was assuming that since Kennedy was called first he would serve first. I guess we'll have to wait and hear what happened from the team.

Just got my "weekly recap" email from Mike Schafer:

Schafer
On Friday night, it didn't take us long to get on the scoreboard, as we capitalized on the first power play of the game. Junior center Ryan Nash won a faceoff to senior left wing Colin Greening who tipped the puck to the weak side to a wide open senior forward Blake Gallagher who burried it in the net.

Just think how dangerous we'd be if Coach actually knew the players' names!!

Or maybe that's our secret weapon - we actually have a third "stealth Nash" out on the ice to help out in key situations...

(I'm guessing Schafer doesn't necessarily write, or even read, these email recaps. Just thought it was funny.)
