Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24

All systems go!
Soon the world will know
The fury of attack
Feel the wrath of
The super rad

Per the pre-game, we still have a lot of guys sick.

Donaldson the extra skater tonight instead of O'Brien, as we go with an extra forward.

Appleton is the way a barn should look. Just get rid of that hideous scoreboard.

Has Brekke always looked like Foucault?

Burn the ship

Having missed most of the period, I believe it. Turned it on with about two minutes left and thought, "these guys all look like they have the plague."

Seger and O'Leary look like the skating dead. Castagna is invisible. It's a different team.

OTOH, Kraft is having his best weekend, and Rego has a ton of energy although he has made some mistakes too.

Forechecking and attacking well now. It means SLU is going to get some odd man rushes on the counter, but we need to open it up.

Cornell sports are out to ruin my weekend.

My sanity versus these announcers is the battle now.

You can absolutely lift a stick and keep it tied up for the half a second that a guy is trying to shoot.

It's like having a couple drunk frat league players right behind you in the stands.

Now that the drunk uncles at Brown have been led out to pasture, these guys take the crown. The past 5 minutes have been about how the refs must live in Schafer’s guest house to get so many calls.

Tons of good chances there. Poop.

Section 7
Rule 58 - Hooking
58.1 Hooking - A player shall not impede the progress of an opponent by
hooking with the stick or by using the stick in a reverse position to obtain
the puck or prevent the opponent from playing the puck.
The lifting of an opponent’s stick for the purpose of obtaining the puck
or preventing the opponent from playing the puck is permissible.
PENALTY—Minor.

Sweater guy: “the refs are in the ice. The crowd shows appreciation for their efforts tonight.”

I seem to recall he's been the PBP guy for SLU for some time. And also that he's been a homer for some time.

Like the altar boys said, too much play in our end.

Can we learn how to score a flukey goal sometime?

Seriously. I didn't see what they were talking about until the replay, but seriously.

Apparently "no cheering in the press box" never got north of the 44th parallel.

I thought that was a goal?!

Good time for a shorty or two.

I have never heard of hooking described as getting hammered before.

As upset as I am watching the PP, this is quietly my bigger concern.

Oh my fucking god

Well, that's nice

OK, get the point and come away with a split.

Love to see some heart to keep the season alive. Pretty much need the OT win here so I would like to see us play our game for the first w few minutes, but sell out at the end if we don’t score at first.

At 1:31 left, SLU announcer: "aw darn! the shutout would have been nice but the win is still gonna be sweet"

Winning, standings, pairwise, etc is all important, but knowing these dopes are unhappy is most important.

Challenge for offside please

fahk. we deserved better than that tonight. heck of an effort by all our guys

Gee, I hope Schafer survives whatever discipline he gets from the NCAA for banging a stick on the boards.

It sounds serious.

Announcers calling that “unbelievable” that the score didn’t stay “as it should be” after looking at 0 replays is hilarious.

Almost enough for me not to hate this song.

Challenge for offside please

Thank you! I had actually switched the broadcast off in disgust after the apparent goal, and your post got me to turn it back on. Many thanks!

LOL, these announcers are GOAT unprofessional.

These announcers are something else. They never fail to bring out their homerism when upset

Worst ever. And we've heard a guy actually drunk on the air.

Why did they go back to 30 sec on pp? That almost goal was right after Bancroft came out of the box.

The offsides was way back then, and everything rewinds to that.

We’re still gonna be cooked in the pairwise from that tie but hell we showed fight.

an incredible moral victory, if that's possible in any sense. one of the funniest games to watch from a commentary perspective

We're gonna be less cooked than had we lost in OT and waaaaay less cooked than if we didn't tie it up.

And honestly, getting a chance at the winner with the last faceoff (after the tying goal) showed me something.

“I hate that they’re allowed to do things that are allowed.”

Better late than never. If only they had won in regulation or ot.

Good, now I can shut those damn announcers off.

Now I've seen everything.

Normally I don’t care about shootouts but I was rooting hard in this one just so the announcers could eat their words.

That was pretty fantastic, not giving up on the three points, even if it didn't work.

Fitting for a hard-fought North Country weekend that all four teams come away with three points.

Still 16 but rpi slipped. Hanging in there.

Someone needs to capture all the homer highlights for the laughs. I don't think I've ever heard a crew implode as hard during a game

I'd love it side by side with the actual footage of the plays they complained about. They were invariably proven wrong / wildly exaggerating / butt hurt on replay.

what a good feeling to come back to elynah to see that we didn't lose after having to turn it off (as opposed to turning it off in anger) down 2-0. obvs annoying that it hurts us in the pairwise but it's always fun to watch your guys come back for the tie than to blow a lead. we all contain multitudes.

If Schafer does get suspended for banging a stick against the boards, that could be a problem next week.

I definitely don’t condone doing that, but it seems like it would be possible that banging a stick would be necessary to get the refs attention after a game winner in OT where the other team and the crowd are going wild (though I think it’s doubtful that they would have left without checking in with him). The announcers seemed adamant that it should be a suspension but they were wrong about a lot of things and that doesn’t seem so egregious that he would get a multi game suspension at this point in the year.

We stay put in PWR.

Dafatone

I’ve seen him do it at Lynah a couple of other times this season when he was hot about something and couldn’t get the refs’ attention (and I’ve seen opposing coaches do it too with no apparent consequences.) Definitely just another in a long list of nothing burgers that the SLU drunk uncle announcing crew wanted to make a stink about.

Oh totally. I was being sarcastic and probably should've indicated that.

One of the two clowns seemed eager to suspend our shootout participants for “slowing down too much.”

technically the game was over. You going suspend a coach from trying to get the refs attention after a game. they were likely yelling and whistling as well. Though I would think the first thing the refs should do on most any goal is check with the teams to make sure there is nothing to review.

Anyone have a clip of the offside zone entry? They didn't review it long, so it must have been pretty clear.

St. Lawrence highlights on YouTube are only SLU highlights (and Shane highlights on SLU scoring chances). By that I mean, neither Cornell goal and three shootout goals by SLU in a shootout that they lost. At least the Cornell recap had the Psenicka and Seger goals.

Here is my attempt at a screenshot from the offside.

St. Lawrence #14 looks to be offside by a foot or so. In real time, it was impossible to tell. I’m sure with the replay frame-by-frame it was more obvious.

I watched the replay on demand and your screen shot shows it as I saw it—-#14 offside by a good foot

The bozo announcers must also work for SLU’s Sports Information office. From their game story: “The Big Red would score with 1:31 left in the third, then after some questionable non-calls would find the equalizer with 6.8 seconds left in regulation.”

This. I’m going to file this game away, so the next time I feel myself thinking, “Why does this shit always happen to us?” I can remember that one time we happened that shit to someone else.

I turned it off when we were down 3-2 in overtime, but fortunately eLynah told me to turn it back on.

realized that i didn't need highlights, i could flip on ESPN+ and pull up the game starting with ~3 minutes left. also here's another look at the offsides.

On the topic of annoying play-by-play announcer tropes, the guy did the whole voice-cracking in the middle of saying "he scores!" thing (for SLU goals only). He scoOOORres! Are we really meant to believe this is an involuntary quirk?

The best thing the SLU pbp guy said came after the Kempf goal (on which his voice didn't crack): "Winners win, that's all I can say about that."

As for the color guy saying "the win will still be sweet" after the first Cornell goal, I didn't think that was meant to be homer-y. The surrounding conversation makes it sound more like a hypothetical, i.e., it will still be sweet to beat a ranked team if they endure the final 90 seconds of Cornell coming hard at Krawes even if they lost the shutout. Not trying to say they aren't homers but I also don't think they were counting their chickens so much as being proud of the team for such a good game overall.

Thanks for the offside screen captures.

It's pretty amazing that the Cornell coach responsible for catching stuff like that actually caught it in real time.
