Schafer very forthcoming in the pre-game... he says Marr is "a long, long way" from being ready to play, health-wise. He also came down the flu.

Louis would of course play if McKee couldn't, but Schafer said that Louis doesn't have the skills yet.

Gleed out for a few weeks for a jaw injury from the Harvard game.

Game not quite underway... anthems soon.

Game underway

11 PM here in Tel Aviv. Easier to follow Cornell games live than it has been following the Flames games at 4 AM.

Is anyone else not getting the audio feed?

coming in loud and clear for me in Buffalo

first tv timeout for you punks that are watching it on TV...

From where did you launch it? All I get when I pull up the link is errors.

Goal for the Red on the Power play!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!

Moulson!

And Greg, I changed browsers... IE dealt with the links fine... Firebird/Mozilla didn't know what program to use, but I found this out yesterday.

I used the link that Justin posted to sign up for a 14 day trial and then it loaded it self up after registering...

[elf.elynah.com]

any other lineup changes besides Salmela in for Gleed?

No, I'm using the same browser and same config as always. I'm asking what page you launched it from -- url?

Shane Hynes gets pulled down...Another PP for the Big Red...

could someone pls post the audio link for the game? thanx

good to hear from you, Ari! Didn't sound like there were any other changes...Marr didn't make the trip to Florida...

assists on the moulson goal?

no free audio for this game, yoou have to sign up for the sports pass or the 14 day free trial...Justin posted the link in another thread that is aptly titled...

Adam, hope everything is okay with your family.

Sure seems like Marr has taken a drastic step back in his progress. He was dressing and seemed to be pretty close earlier in the month. Now, he is clearly far away from returning.

Not that it matters much, but Mike Stachurski quit the team a couple weeks ago. Saw him practice with the team earlier in the year and he was FAR behind any of the other defensemen, including Pajerski. Would never have played.

I paid for the audio subscription. The pages I usually load from are not working -- something has changed since the last game (yes, I know about the changed password, I have done that as well). I am asking what page you loaded the stream from, since it is working for you.

5:03 left in the period...shots are 7-3 Cornell...momentum has swung in our favor

not sure if this will help (it probably won't) but this is the address I have in my browser:

Another Big Red powerplay

McKee doesn't have to make a big save as Notre Dame shoots it at his chest on the shorthanded opportunity

is this the third cornell powerplay? zero for ND thus far?

yes, third powerplay...no, Cornell gave up another early penalty to start the game...Notre Dame seemed to come out fast

Off the cross bar for Cornell... 16 seconds left in the period

Do people want me to do frequent updates? I don't want to pollute the thread if it isn't beneficial for anyone...

so mckee is feeling better, or we didn't have another choice?

did they say if gleed would be back in by harvard/brown? sucks he's out. he was starting to do very well.

definitive edge to cornell this period?

End 1, still 1-0

YES. Updates very much appreciated.

updates are nice, i dont get the tv here in nj and i didnt bother to register for the free trial which i hear charges you regardless

definitely want frequent updates. thanks.

dartmouth 1, umass 1 after per 1
bc 2 mich 0 with 7 min left to play

Sounds like a good game so far. The audio feed from the cable is very good.

It's about time we start getting some good luck. We've certainly hit enough crossbars and posts recently, it's nice to see another team get frustrated by them.

make that 3-0 bc over u mich

yup, definitive edge for Cornell...Adam W and co were saying that the ND goalie didn't have to make spectacular saves but that he was under constant pressure and maintained good position through out the period...Notre Dame started out fast but the ice tilted in Cornells favor once we started getting power plays. Moulson got the goal from Knoepfli and Cook at 8:35

BC sounds really, really good this year.

team looks great here on hdtv. strong period - after scoring on the pp, the last two pps have been harder to set up it seems as UND is being more aggressive. a few posts that period for UND and they have had their chances but david has made some nice saves. back to the game

Adam, thanks. (Game Pass attempts to tell you your Game Pass subscription has expired by connecting you to Game Pass, which fails. Clever system.

Got it all worked out.

Thanks for the updates, all.

how's the audio coming for you GB?

bc goalie serving a 2game suspension, i dunno why
mich starter out also, maybe because of team usa?
final score bc 4-1



Post Edited (12-27-03 16:54)

Agreed on BC. My preseason pick to win it all. Sure seems like a two horse race between UND and BC. Then there are 10-15 teams that are pretty even but clearly a notch below UND and BC. That being said, based on what we have seen in the NCAAs in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if the National Champion was somebody OTHER than UND or BC.

Michigan's starter Al Montoya is with the US Junior team. The other goalie on the US team is Maine starter Jim Howard.

yeah, Montoya is playing for the US U-20 team...they beat Austria 8-0 (61 shots!!!!) yesterday with Zach Parise getting two goals and an assist, I believe



Post Edited (12-27-03 16:54)

BC really looks good (I did get a chance to catch the first two periods of the game on TV here). Excellent passing and goaltending. This team is going to do really well this year.

Who is the alleged "home" team in this game?

US and Canada definitely the top two teams at the WJC this year, though Russia is not that far behind. If Zherdev was still with Russia (left for the Blue Jackets) then it would be a different story.

We're the home team

BC is without one of their top liners in Pat Eaves. Still, Voce and Ben Eaves along with Shannon, Gionta, Boyle, Pineault and this team has some serious fire power. Still, the team has underachieved from the point of view of some of their close fans who argue that their results do not quite tell the whole story.
Should also be noted that Notre Dame beat BC 1-0 earlier in this year mostly attributed to a stand on head performance from UND's freshman goalie who made like 50 saves that game.

Changed scoring on goal:

1 8:30 Cor pp Knoepfli 2 (Moulson 12, Cook 8)

Cornell is wearing the whites.

Just got back from watching the first period.

Everything here sounds about right....Notre Dame looked good and fast in the early going....a lot of up and down play early...neither team really having great control of the puck for too long.

As the CU powerplays started kicking in, we began to take control, working along the boards, etc...more classic Cornell hockey. The 2nd PP was very sloppy; never really had control of the puck.

Overall, a good period considering a 3 week layoff. Unfortunately, I'm headed out and won't watch the rest.

Let's Go Red!

[q]Changed scoring on goal:

1 8:30 Cor pp Knoepfli 2 (Moulson 12, Cook 8)
[/q]

I thought it seemed weird that everyone was giving it to Moulson. It was a clear rebound wristed back in by Knoepfli.

second period start yet?

sorry have missed the start of the 2nd period...just heard "McKee makes another save!" from Adam...is Notre Dame coming out fast again?

wow -- granted, some of it was the ND player not getting it up high enough, but McKee just made an amazing save off of a rebound, sprawling to right to cover the open side of the net.

ND started with an early pp and had a few good chances; McKee made one great save.



Post Edited (12-27-03 17:07)

interview with McKee between the 2nd and 3rd periods...stay tuned

Is anyone taping the game? If so, could you email me at my Cornell account (click on my profile)? Thanks!

how much time left in the second?
shots?

would someone be able to at least partially transcribe the interview with mckee? i'd love to know what they ask and what he responds.

and it really sucks that marr's out. i wonder if he'll play at all this year...

LGR!

McCutcheon gets some shots on net and Brown is able to hold on to the puck

yup, I'll let you know what is said

sure doesn't seem as if Marr will be playing this year.

Thanks!

Notre Dame goes on their third power play with 11 something to go...TV timeout

Estero is posting the shots on the score board but I haven't heard an update from Adam

sounds like Notre Dame is getting some chances on this power play

how bout a cornell goal to wake me up. dozing off over here.........just past midnight.

McKee holds on after anticipating the short side shot

McKee makes a quick pad save as the power play ends

Shots are 12-2 this period for Notre Dame!

> Estero is posting the shots on the score board but I haven't heard an update from Adam

Shots were 10-5 Cprnell after the first, 11-11 midway through the previous ND pp.

Shots are now 12-2 ND in this period, and 17-12 ND overall.

Cornell is having problems getting it into the zone

2 on 1...Pegs held on to it too long and couldn't get the shot off...Penalty on Notre Dame...power play!

Cornell pp upcoming.

Cornell has the power play set up and is getting good movement...lots of one timers

Score! Chris Abbott on the rebound as Brown was stuck on his back!

CHRIS ABBOTT!!

Pegs gets his first point of the year...16:37 Pegs is the only assist so far

2 16:37 Cor pp Chris Abbott 2 (Pegoraro 1)

Pegoraro finally gets his first point 12 games into the season

Is it possible that Marr will apply for a medical red-shirt, giving him an extra year of eligibility next year?

End of the second period... 2-0 both goals on the power play

don't have to be watching the game to know that that second goal was HUGE

doubtful since he has dressed for games

Any goal for Cornell is huge

who scored the goals

1 8:30 Cor pp Knoepfli 2 (Moulson 12, Cook 8)
2 16:37 Cor pp Chris Abbott 2 (Pegoraro 1)

UND controlled that period but cornell got the huge goal #2. david made some sweet saves.
back to the game
LGR

thanks

Sat Jan 3, Bowl with the Red 5-7pm at Helen Newman...if you're in Ithaca stop by!

McKee likes the warm weather...used to the type of ice in Florida since its similar to that in Texas

Adam: Did you know you would come to Cornell eventually?
McKee: It was certain but he deferred and was going to play with Naimo (sp is wrong)...the short notice didn't throw off his preparation since he was preparing for Naimo

Academically prepared?
It's been rough...wanted to take classes in BC before coming to Cornell...feeling better about his classes now though

Challenged by following Lenny?
Block it all out...tries to go out and play as best as possible

Know the tradition of Cornell goalies?
He did know...really wanted to be a part of it. Really liked the amazing coaching staff. Was looking at a lot of schools...came down to the players and coaching staff.

Really happy with all of the time that he's been getting but feels sorry for Todd. Happy he can make an early impression. He likes the pressure.

Adam: Coach has gotten on your case a few times but you've responded well
McKee: McKee puts more pressure on himself than anyone else and always wants to win.

Adam: First game was an exhibition game...thoughts
McKee: The fans at Lynah are unbelievable...lots of kids are in his classes. Saw games the year before and it is so different between the stands and on the ice. Can't hear yourself think on the ice. He heard the rumors about the fish with Harvard. The Harvard game was his best experience of his life thus far.

Adam: Heros growing up in Texas...
McKee: his father, helped him with confidence and finding places to play. Hockey is booming in Texas now...has gone from 500 players to 8000 players in 7 or 8 years. Dallas Stars take a lot of the credit.

Adam: How did you get into Hockey...
McKee: Got into it because his older friends played. Was forced to go to the Stars second game and got hooked on hockey in 1993.

Adam: What do you need to improve?
McKee: Need to stay physical and aggressive.

Adam: You personally?
McKee: play faster...making trasition to cold weather at Cornell has been difficult

There you have it...sorry it was rough...tried to get it out ASAP...third period is under way

umass up 3-2 on dartmouth

Game on.

Back and forth in the first 2 mins.

ND going on pp.



Post Edited (12-27-03 17:49)

Notre Dame has to press to get back into the game...the Big Red pull down a player as he gets loose in front of the net...Glover is the guilty party...PP for ND

pp killed off.

15:07 in regulation.

thanks for the interview. that was great. =)

(was the mention of marr said on a whim or was he asked about it? just curious)
