RED/WHITE GAME FRI 10/13 7:30 pm

Just wanted to remind everyone that the annual Red/White game, sponsored by the CHA, will be held this Friday October 13 at Lynah starting at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $3 adults; $2 students, available at the door.

This will be our first chance to check out Lynah renovations with the team on the ice. In addition to the scrimmage, there will be a shoot out. Raffle prizes this year include a Big Red jersey signed by the team; McKee signed stick; LeNeveu signed stick; 2 tickets to a Buffalo Sabres game; 5 sets of 2 tickets to a Binghamton Senators game (Vesce & Cook on the roster); and other prizes from local businesses.

This should be a fun night and hope you will make it to Lynah this Friday to see the '06-'07 Big Red!!

I think they should raffle up the opportunity to have students' non-winning line numbers become winning ones. Might get some good attendance

Go WHITE!!

I don't think the NCAA cares about this. It's the "Go RED!!" that'll be getting us in trouble.

will slope radio be there to cover it?

If anybody wants to post updates from the bldg, they win the Geek of the Year Award. That's supposed to be an incentive; I know this audience.

Well, briefly, the Red team won the "game" 2-1, and the White team won the shootout, 5-4, on Bitz's goal on the final opportunity.

Anyone have any word on why Glover sat out? He was behind the west goal, with crutches by his side.

The game wasn't terrible.

Defense wasn't awful, which was my immediate worry, plus all three goalies did well in the PS's

Other than that:

1. Too many penalties (the ref called too many things that probably would have been ECAC kosher)

2. Topher was a bit silent the whole game. I was looking for him to come out swinging, but I'm sure he's just waiting for real games to be his usual aggressive self.

3. The new rink looks very nice. They kept the small-rink feel. Having the teams on benches across the ice from one another will take getting used to, but it wasn't so bad. (Maybe it will make the @ Colgate games that much easier?..We'll be used to it.) I can't wait to see the place full.

Don't expect him back any time soon.

Lets not start the rumor mill on this

What was the giveaway, Ari, the crutches?

Um yeah.

I heard he had a bad pedicure.

Some thoughts 24 hours later: this early was hard to tell, but the freshman forwards will step in for sure - Joe Scalli showed some energy and Mugford - Hornby like hustle on the fore check - PS Mugford looked good.

The number of penalties (2 mins, Holding, Hooking, Obstructuin-interference, Holding etc) must have been about 20 or so in 2 periods (No one was going to the box as format was a fixed == period of time 5 x 5 then alternating 1 min 5 x 4 alternating teams for 4 min then more 5 x 5 then some 4 x 4 (end period) second period was similar but 2 min power palys alternating and some quick 5 x 3 before final 5 x 5 session). Finish was a shoot out with the whole of each team taking one shot per player.

The directive to college officials is to continue down the path and direction set by NHL reach around a guy you have pinned on boards with one arm and get a hold etc.... Think this was coach trying to get team ready for season to come.

Defense is still my main worry, Mcleod and Hedge have size and played a-OK, but don't think they have speed we will need as rules are enforced more tightly.

Red team had D = Taylor Davenport + Doug Krantz and Kevin Mcleod + Evan Salmela

White team D was Jared Seminoff + Matt Hedge and Justin Krueger + Brendon Nash

Matt Conners also showed fair hustle. Justin Milo showed some speed and hustle also (note he and Blake Gallagher are only a shade bigger than Topher (1 to 2" and 10 - 15 lbs) )

I thought Chris Fontas with good size and reach also showed well on face-offs.
Just trying to hit some of the high points that stuck in my memory.

GO BIG RED. (delibrately didn't comment much on returning players) they all looked A-OK about what I remembered from last season.

Of the returners I thought Mugford probably looked the most improved--especially his skating.

He didn't score, but I was impressed with some of Tony Romano's moves. He didn't seem out of place with this level of competition, even if the game was only played at 80% speed.

I think my favorite part of the game was the red team's powerplay that consisted of: Topher Scott, Blake Gallagher, Justin Milo, Tony Romano, and Evan Salmela. It was probably the smallest powerplay a big red team has fielded, even in a red/white game like this, in years.

Surgery to correct the chronic hip problem that has affected him for the last couple of seasons. Not sure when he will be back but I think the idea was to have surgery so he can be 100% when he does get back.

From today's Sun: "Senior defenseman Dan Glover, who is out until January after hip surgery, did not play."

... not that there's anything wrong with that.
