Decent of them. [saintsathletics.com]

Interesting you can watch the live game free. Later replays, they charge for. Seems backwards but don't complain.

Currently 27 in Canton, headed to 18. Dress warmly, Faithful.

Not so good in the North Country lately. Hopefully tonight we start to rectify that.

A long stretch of futility with an impressive streak between 2002 and 2005--15 out of 16 possible points over that span.

How long before the play-by-play guy starts complaining about how Cornell is a dirty team?

So, that was a good first period...

Well THAT was a good-looking period

I wonder how many people pay for this no-zoom wide-angle replay where you can't see much?

I like seeing the scoreboard a lot, so far.

this video quality is horrible. but kudos to StL for actually filling their rink, which is more than we can do

...but at least the color commentator is an absurdly blatant homer.

Probably because the color commentator is Joe Marsh...Interesting commentary to say the least.

Well, now I feel bad! That makes a lot more sense.

A great second period for the Saints, to be sure - and I don't think that takes anything away from some pretty good play by the Big Red, either. SLU didn't score twice because Cornell fell apart, they just finally woke up. It should be a veeeery interesting third period.

im not sure how full it is.. they mentioned the student area was pretty empty since they are on break,

30 min of really solid play and then SLU gets 3-4 min of activity and gets 2 goals.

key play was 2 on 1 cornell had where someone made an awful pass and it led to a 2-1 on the other way and a penalty that SLU scored on.

the backhand goal from 25 ft out hurt and got SLU some energy in a game they had none,

its amazing how dominant this team can be and then just go so flat.. was hoping 3-0 would be the answer but again we let that lead slip to almost nothing.


our PP is passing the puck well but no goals to show for it. and our penalty kill continues to not clear when we have possession..

Good video of Jim tossing out Snickers.

If CU had any kind of forecheck on the powerplay rather than just letting SLU skate to CU blue line each time, maybe it would still be 3-1.

Kyle Hayton has gained a bit of reputation of being a chirper and instigator for the last few years, but I've counted at least two instances where he's actually went after guys.

I don't think our guys were perfect down the stretch in this game, but I do like how they didn't panic when SLU stormed back into the game. They continued to execute. Good win, and we're now squarely in ECAC first-round bye territory. Remains to be seen how much the PWR will be affected, pending results for the teams around us, but it almost certainly didn't hurt.

Nice effort by Cornell, didn't give up the lead.

After friday's games, all in the top 4 with 19 ECAC games played:

1 Union     29 
2 Harvard   28 
3 Cornell   27
4 SLU       25
5 Quinn'ac  21

We've pretty much got the first round bye, not all that much difference between finishing 2 or 3 except if the season ended now and the higher seeds won in the first round, the 3-seed gets Clarkson and the 2-seed gets Yale.

Up to 11th as of 9:30 PM eastern. St. Cloud didn't play, and North Dakota lost.

The free video was nice but the camera appeared to have no zoom (that got used) and it covered from the red line all the way back to the stands.

I disagree. I think Cornell did not play as though they were up 3-0. This team has to learn to adjust to being up by two or especially, as in this case, three goals. I still see them going for home run plays/pinching, which when they fail result in odd-man chances the other way. Under no circumstance should an offensive zone penalty be taken when you're up by multiple goals. Even on the questionable calls, Cornell shouldn't be giving the refs a chance to make that questionable call.

We always give up a couple of semi-undisciplined penalties per game, that's just part of how the rules and officiating have evolved. As for playing like they're up 3-0, I've seen just as much criticism on this forum about falling back and sitting on a lead (and giving it up anyway) as I have about taking risks. Personally, I'd rather they continue to take risks and try to put the game away, not hope that shifting to 40 full minutes of defense keeps their opponent off the board.

just stop taking penalties when you are up 2-3 goals and controlling the game especially if they are in spots that don't require you to be aggressive.. the good news is that we have jumped on almost every team they last few weeks, they bad news is we haven't sustained it for 2 periods in a row.

get up 2-3 goals, give up a sloppy goal, take a penalty give up a PP and suddenly its a game. thats our MO except for the Colgate game.

other than the harvard game its not the risky plays that have come back to haunt us.

Three ECAC teams in the top 10 of the pairwise.

Maybe you get it for free for some time afterwards? When I tried to access it this AM, it was charge only.

you can open it in a private browser and watch any 90 sec segment you want as many times as you want.

Does Clarkson use the same"service"? If so I may be able to capture it tonight after the game in Troy. (Though Moravi seems to have a rough time dealing with the cpu multitasking that is streaming plus capture.)
