Well, this might be a short thread, since no audio feeds are working. All I can contribute is the LiveStats link:
http://cornellbigred.ocsn.com/livestats/m-hockey/index.html
If they update with goals I'll post them, otherwise, we're all up you know where.
At least some of us haven't paid for the pleasure.;-)
Each team 0-1 on the PP.
Make that 0-2 for the good guys.
... and 0-3 ... it's like watching paint dry.
Watching this gives you an interesting view of Doug Murray. He has tried 8 shots so far, I think half have been blocked, 3 have been wide, and one was on net and saved. I can see that slapper firing. ;-)
Brown getting a lot of shots on their second PP.
Bruno now 0x2 on pp. Cornell leads in shots 7-4. 5 pp's early -- sounds chippy.
Does anyone else find it amusing that the stats page is titled "Live Hockey Action"?
All I can say is I'm glad I'm not the guy/gal inputting the data. Bet this costs more than free radio broadcasts.:-P
Well that's the end of the first. It appears that we will be starting the second on the PP.
End of period, 0-0. Shots: 7-4 Cornell. PP: Brown 0x2, Cornell 0x4.
And after *reading* a period, may I simply and elegantly say thank you so much for the added value of this service, Andy Noel and Cornell athletics.
Heart-rendering excitement, eh?
"Rendering"? Isn't that how they make Big Macs? ::yark::
Nah, that's what they do to the rest of the animal.
(And I meant to put that in quotes.)
Haven't had a shot-on-goal in six or seven minutes.
Baby Scores on the PP 1-0 Cornell
thanks for the update
Full scoring on that goal:
1:31 Cor pp Bâby 2 (Mark McRae, Murray)
Cornell kills off another penalty. So far Cornell is 1x4 and Brown ox3 on pp. Game sounds pretty even.
McRae scores 2-0 Cornell
mcRae scores 2-0 Cornell - Mark McRae from Vesce
12:54 Cor Mark McRae 3 (Vesce)
Shots now 9-9 after early 7-1 Cornell advantage. But shots don't count.b
Anybody catch what the injuries to Bell and Cook are?
McRae now +5 on the weekend plus an assist on the lone PPG.
McRae Scores again 3-0
Mark McRae scores - 3-0
14:?? Cor pp Mark McRae 4 (Vesce)
Isn't McRae +7? +4 yesterday and 2-1-3 today?
Danis must have a new girlfriend. ::nut::
Oh, that's right, you don't get a plus for the pp. Never mind.
Ryan Vesce scores with 2 seconds left. 4-0
19:57 Cor Vesce 3 (Knoepfli, Murray)
Power play goals for and short-handed goals against don't count in the +/-. Don't know about short-handed goals for.
Whatever the stats--still a terrific weekend for Mark. Living up to the recruiting hype.
I know shg against count. Are you sure shg for don't? I thought they did.
Livestats shows Jon Gleed taking faceoffs. What the hey?
Livestats shows Brown with a total of -10 for +/-, so the two PP goals must not count against.
pp goals never count for +/-.
Mark is definitely shining this weekend. Atlanta must be happy about that.
Balance:
Cornell goals per league weekend:
Yal/Prn: 9
Ver/Drt: 10
Hvd/Brn: 9 so far
Under 13 mins to go now, still 4-0 good guys.
Sheesh--six saves for LeNeveu on a Brown PP.
12:08 to go.
10:14
Brown goes on pp. Big test for D to try to hold the fort for Lenny.
Cornell kills it off, 6 mins to go.
5:35. Coincidental minors coming up. Hornby is inspiring Bruno to be... feisty.
Three-point game for Vesce, too.
5-0 on goal by Varteressian. 27 seconds to go. Idiocy galore by Brown leads to a 2 man pp.
The frustration of a double-shutout weekend, I suppose. Down-to-earth after a flashy beginning. Disappointed in Grillo, though.
Lenny gets his shut out. Cornell now 6-1 overall, 5-1 ECAC, 4-1 Ivy.
Woohoo!
1.14 GAA for Lenny. (Well, maybe a tad higher 'cuz he missed a minute.)
And count one semi-ENG to his name. When all the crap was going down at the end of the game Danis skated out of his net and Dave shot the puck from his crease, and scored...well kind of. It was really funny. ::laugh:: Danis didn't leave his net after that. Also Brown did not shake hands at the end of the game. I kind of felt bad for him.
hey someone give me an update!! whats this imbroglio @ the end of the game?
not shaking hands at the end of the game was definitely better for both sides. the last thing we need going into next weekends B.U. series are some stupid fighting majors. . .and there would have been a fight, that's a certainty!
:-)) :-)) anyways. . .great weekednd for the guys! :-)) :-))
:-PHarvard(sUcKs) & Brown swallows:-P
any out of town scores??
Bemidji State 4
Clarkson 5
Yale 5
UVM 4
Harvard 7
Colgate 1
Dartmouth 3
Princeton 2
Those were the scores I heard from Adam during the post-game on the way home in the car.
3-2 was the Dartmouth-Princeton final.
also,
RPI 5 - Mercyhurst 3
The end was very ugly 3 pairs of misconducts in last 5 minutes plus other minors; started with a large brown player on a nasty high stick to Matt M. and Matt went after him after the whistle big time.... 2 min minor for roughing to matt and a misconduct and a 5 min major and a misconduct to Brown player both to the locker room... this set up a 3 on 3 since it was already 4 v 4 and then Cornell man up for last 2 min 50 secs or so.... I felt we were lucky the Ref didn't throw game misconducts in there! things were close to out of control.
Then after the last whistle a Brown player instigated a fracas w ?? and 2 players were roughing it up well after the final whistle - they only got 2 min minors according to the announcer -- I thought that kind of thing was an automatic Game DQ ??? anyhow it then looked like the Ref directed Brown to leave the ice - - Brown captain seemed to be arguing with him but he lost (not sure my interpretation is correct just how it looked....)
Anyhow great effort by the Big Red -- bring on BU!!!
Esdale's cross-check at 60:00 was later changed to a major. No DQ though.
Also, collegehockeystats.com lists the first goal as Vesce's, which is consistent with what Bâby said in the postgame interview.
Charlie Cook was watching the game in civies using a pair of crutches - - from nasty hit in third period against Harvard.
Bell was not dressed and I heard he has a strained abominal muscle.... hopefully back in a week or so...
just the talk at the game.... FYI
There was also that period of time where Brown was skating with only four players?
Was this just a mistake on their part, or what?
[Q]I thought that kind of thing was an automatic Game DQ ???[/Q]
Two comments. First, nothing I saw I thought should've been an automatic game DQ. There were some punches, but nothing the refs didn't break up quickly. It was all very close to a fighting major/game DQ, but nothing that *clearly* crossed the line. I was just standing there saying "come on, guys, dont get suspended for BU."
Second, did anyone else leave the game with the impression that the ref knew what our next game was, and that it's important to the conference, and tried to give the fairest penalties he could short of DQ's. Maye he got a whisper from the conference or just knew himself. I obviously have no way of knowing if that's true, but it's just the feeling I got. Because despite the fact that some of that stuff could go either way, usually I think people would have gotten the boot.
Only if our refs were as conscious as CCHA refs.
One reason I don't think so (although I was only listening to the game) is: if the refs were operating with any sort of cognizance about "what's good for the conference," they would have called the whole third period so close to the shirt they would have been inside the players' pads. From the 10 minute mark onwards in a 4 goal game anything borderline of the rough/spear/board variety would have been up on the board.
It seemed as though he knew he had "lost" the game but by the time he actually realized this it was not coming back under control. I agree with Fred in regards to him knowing that next weekend is a HUGE weekend for the ECAC. . .throwing out players for borderline fighting calls would not be beneficial to the league. Support for this can be seen by the fact that he instructed the Brown team to leave the ice after the game, not allowing them to shake hands (the Brown captain was NOT happy with that decision).
Baby was in constant contact with the ref throughout the 3rd period. I'm sure he let the ref know not to let the game get out of control for a number of reasons.
I almost forgot to mention this. . .did anyone else see that nice older fella catch the puck that flew into section C on Saturday night??? Oh wait, that was Beeeej. . .:-P
:-))Not a bad catch for an old guy!!!:-))
Whippersnapper. ::nut::
Been waitin' more than fifteen years to make a catch like that.
Beeeej
Dude, it is so much easier to just ask the players for a brand new game puck. At least that is the approach I took for my Cornell game puck. Much simpler than the UNH puck I have. Caught that one between my nose and teeth and some little punk tried to run off with it.....

Had I not ducked and covered like a little girl, I would currently be in possession of a puck from the February 2000 Harvard at Cornell game. :-/
I got hit by an SLU game puck the last time the band traveled there. I think they said it was hit out by one of the McCrae's.. I just remember looking down for a piece of music, then my head was ringing -- and bleeding.. no stitches luckily :).
then my buddy who went to the women's game also got "hit" by a puck that sort of rolled up against his leg. :-P
When I was involved in Swiss baseball, it was a standard observation that you could tell the Americans from the Europeans by whether, when a foul ball was hit out of play, they tried to catch it or take cover.

So what you are trying to say is that you ducked like a little girl? :-P
Zee, not zed dammit!
I also have a Harvard game puck, but that was through a much more bizarre incident. I was at the rink getting a jersey autographed by the whole team when Pelletier came over and tossed me a puck, a Harvard game puck. I'm assuming he just wanted it off the ice...
-John
Dude, the point is not to own a game puck. I could have done that anytime. The point is to own a game puck that I caught on the fly, hit from the ice during live play in a game.
And now I do.
Beeeej
Exactly. . .I have one that I caught from last years BU series at Walter Brown.:-P

I knew I should have written down that Canadian spelling I caught you in during the chat...
And at Swiss baseball games I was definitely an American; got to be different, you know. :-P
John (EH, not TW :-) ),
It was "Harbour"... I don't remember the context though :-D
