CU - Clarkson updates

I'm stuck behind a firewall, so all updates posted here will be greatly appreciated. But not compensated.

The game is apparently going to start a little late because of the Time Warner broadcast. Clarkson just now taking the ice.

Cornell's starting lines
Moulson-Vesce-Bitz
Wallace-Cook
McKee

Game is just now underway.

That train whistle has to be one of the most annoying sounds in the world.

People falling all over the place early. Bad ice maybe?

Is anyone getting the game on TV? I'm not seeing it.

Maybe the 90 mph winds up there are disrupting the signal

McKee with some good saves! 13:36 to go in the first.

The Clarkson announcers, usually very good, apparently didn't learn the Cornell roster before the game.

Some fat rebounds by McKee but the D clears it.

Damn 1-0 Clarkson at 9:53 of the first.

Hooking on Moulson, PP for Clarkson

1 9:53 Clk Lush 3 (unassisted)

When did Clarkson get the retarded "let's get ready to rummmmmble" announcer? Sounds really bush league.

Now Knights on pp.

Clarkson controlling play fairly well. About 5 minutes left in the first, still 1-0 Clarkson.

Uh-oh, I think my monitor might be on the verge of dying.

As long as the speakers work...

Yeah, I thought about that...if the monitor dies, I'll probably wait for the game to end before shutting things down. But I'll need a new one by tomorrow night to find the SLU(t) feed.

Cornell now going on PP as Clarkson takes a hitting from behind penalty.

Cornell's PP nearly over as Clarkson is due to go back on the PP. Pegoraro going for tripping. Just one minute left in the 1st.

Lots of mullets in the crowd up at Cheel. Glad to see the style still hasn't died in the deep North. I don't think one player on our team has one...

Sullivan has been getting behind our defensemen already...gotta watch out for those hail mary passes...

I give up...RealOne does not launch for me I hope Big Red scores that tying goal in the next period!
Go Big Red!

Thanks all. Let's Go Red.

is this game on local cable tv???

The game is on channel 26. If you're in a Cornell dorm, you might only get up to channel 20 because Cornell does not pay for the full set of cable channels on some TVs.

2nd period underway as Cornell kills off the PP



Post Edited (11-14-03 20:13)

Clarkson takes a penalty for too many men.

Abbott (not sure which one) had a good chance, but the Clarkson sieve made the save...PP nearly over.



Post Edited (11-14-03 20:19)

SCOOOOOOORE ABBOTT!!!!

(edited to include score in subject)

(edited again to correct goal scorer - Cook w/ assist)



Post Edited (11-14-03 20:28)

Score! 1-1!

1-1 Cook!!!!

Cam Abbott (Cook, Hornby) at 8:44



Post Edited (11-14-03 20:29)

They gave it to abbott

Argh...Clarkson back ahead now 2-1. That's a momentum killer. The Clarkson announcers said something about reviewing the goal. Did anyone watching the game on TV see replays showing people in the crease?



Post Edited (11-14-03 20:31)

1-2. Clarkson.

McKee tried to sweep the puck into his glove but the puck crawled underneath it. Someone, maybe Carefoot, then tried to clear it but the puck hit a crashing Sullivan and rebounded into the net over McKee's shoulder. Sullivan then slammed into McKee. A horrible sequence of events...

Age is hearing it from the Clarkson crowd as he's doing the cowbell.

Clarkson takes a penalty for interference. Someone from Cornell got up slowly after the hit. 7:25 to go in the 2nd.

But the goal counts?

Keep hearing the words McKee and Rebound!! in the same sentence.

Just gotta keep playing our game. We;ve sounded good the last 10-15 mins.

Lately I've been hearing the words Treylen and rebound in the same sentence.

2nd period over.

Clarkson 2 Cornell 1

Cornell showing some improvement in the 2nd, but ended the period on the penalty kill.

Other scores after 2:

SLU 2 Colgate 0
Brown 4 Yale 0
RPI 5 Vermont 1
Harvard 2 Princeton 0
Dartmouth 0 Union 0 (some kinda power outage problem there)



Post Edited (11-14-03 20:48)

3rd is underway

Mouslon high stick, 2 -- maybe 5.

Only 2. Phew.

I just meant the audio commentary is a little more "exciting" this year than in year's past.

Princeton 2 Harvard 2

TIED 2-2!!!!!!!!!!

8:04 Hornby (Cam Abbott, Chris Abbott) with the goal!



Post Edited (11-14-03 21:18)

2-2 Hornby!!!! Nice move

Halfway through the third now...

Sounds like the Abbotts and Hornby line is having a good night.



Post Edited (11-14-03 21:19)

Ben F. reporting Princeton up 3-2 now

Must be the Cornell crowd.

Looks like 2 Clarkson players and 1 Big Red player going to the box after a little scuffle.

4-2 Princeton final

1-0 Dartmouth over Union

7:30 to go in the third...still 2-2.

LOL!!!

Wonder who bought the 4-pack of tickets and went to this one, must have been craziness.

Big saves by McKee!

Some Clarkson player has had a shirt torn off in the scuffle after the whistle was blown.

Cook and one Clarkson player got 2 minutes for roughing.

Hynes and one Clarkson player heading for the showers.

Those were 10 minute misconducts and not game misconducts or DQ's



Post Edited (11-14-03 21:35)

Hynes and Genovy gone. May just be on PIM, or may be kicked out.

Union ties Dartmouth

4:31 to go in the game...err regulation.



Post Edited (11-14-03 21:37)

1:52 to go.

End of regulation 2-2

And OT is underway. A little under the first minute will be 4-4...NHL style!

Clarkson getting a PP...penalty is on O'Byrne!



Post Edited (11-14-03 21:49)

And Cornell kills it off...where's the equalizer!?

1:28 to go and faceoff in the Cornell end.



Post Edited (11-14-03 21:51)

Vesce with a big chance....but a save.

6 seconds to go

Cornell calling timeout.



Post Edited (11-14-03 21:54)

There was a shot and save.

2 seconds to go with faceoff in Clarkson end.

2-2 tie final

If anyone with a line on Time Warner notices that the game is being rebroadcast especially in the other Time Warner (not central New York) areas, please start on new topic here on the forum.

Last year they did rebroadcast in Albany.

Nice job by Cornell to pick up a tough point at Cheel. One more game to go on the killer opening 4-game conference road trip. Afterwards, 7 of their next 9 ECAC games are at Lynah, and over a 14-game stretch they have 2 on the road, 2 in Florida... and 10 at home.



Post Edited (11-14-03 22:15)

I called time-warner, albany... no broadcast available. may get cstv after first of year. offer empire, but that only carries hockey east etc, no ecac

i just read tonite's game summary on uscho. coach schafer was quoted with the following statement:

"We sleptwalked," Schafer said. "I was more disappointed in a Cornell hockey team than I've been for quite some time."

i wasn't able to listen to the game, so did the team play that poorly tonite to merit such assessment? or did the team play well enough to earn a tough point on the road? or is the truth somewhere in between?

any opinions?

Even more cryptic is how the game report ends:
[Q]Throughout the third, Schafer mixed up the lines, partly because forward Dan Pegoraro left the game late in the second period.

"There was a necessity to find nine to 10 guys that wanted to actually work hard consistently," Schafer said. "When you don't have four lines willing to go ... you have to shuffle things up for people to start to produce."[/Q]
1) What happened to Pegoraro? 2) Read between the lines of the last paragraph and it sounds like someone was benched for lack of effort. 3) Are the 2 related?

Well, the team didn't look significantly different than they did against WMU. If they were much better last weekend, then maybe Schafer has a point - seeing as I only heard part of each game last weekend, it's hard to judge.

My hunch is that Schafer is honestly disappointed compared to what he saw last week, since he knows the team can do better, and he might be exagerrating the point to light a fire under them. Just a hunch.

But again as my post notes, last year they did a rebroadcast with no publicity on the local access channels. So we have to keep our eyes open!

I suspect your hunch is correct. This is a well one must be careful not to draw from too often, however.

In all honesty, I think it was quite apparent that Clarkson came out to play hockey last night. They were faster than our guys to loose pucks, were able to exert more control at the boards. They were also able to cycle the puck in deep to mount loads of pressure on our d which was something I'm sure all of us aren't really used to. I think alot of that were due to some guys on the ice being half a step slower than clarkson, leading to quite a lot of positional advantage for clarkson. Lotsa good things happened with the Hornby Abbotts line tho.. And it was good to note that our first line finally gelled in the last period and in OT for some great chances. Just my amateurish 2 cents.. But if this is the way Clarkson plays.. I'm happy for them too.. They look like a much improved squad from last year.

Schafer can do what he wants as far as sitting players. I don't know if there is any connection between how Pegoraro played last week and this week, but I thought he looked sluggish last week when I watched him. So this may be something that has been brewing for awhile.

Last year at the end of the year, Pegoraro looked very quick on the ice. He looked like he was carrying bricks on his back in the Princeton game.

1) What happened to Pegoraro?

A still-cryptic quote from Saturday's Ithaca Journal: "Cornell forward Daniel Pegoraro did not play and was not on the bench during the third period and the overtime."

A certain coach who had quite a lot of success at Cheel comes to mind.

But I see the sense of sending the message early that the team can't be content with ties, rebuilding year or not. (I can't say I mind this one very much.)

And I didn't say I minded it one bit, either. But I've seen it overdone, and John cites a recent example. Happened at Cornell not that long ago, too.

I just got back into town from the North Country an hour ago. My analysis of this game can be summed up in one sentence: Clarkson was faster than expected, and Cornell was slower than expected/desired. That's what made the difference in the end. Our boys are really going to need to work harder to shut the Knights down when they come to Lynah in February.
