no one else is willing to do it...so i'll man up. Q scored, not sure how, 18minutes left in the first.
They stormed the goal while we watched.::snore::
Good luck, jaybert! Die, Bobcats!
LGR!
Maybe this one should've been left alone.
But while I'm here, I'll grouse about new computers coming with new software that's incompatible with things like, oh, Quinnipiac's audio. Graghgh.
Here you go.
23 seconds in.
Marshall (Lampe)

NEVER, cant not have a thread...but to trry something different, not going to update the title w/ score.
A replay clearly showing us how a play developed. It's almost like I know what happened. I'm not even mad, that's amazing.
Strange that on our power play we are continually scrapping along the boards with the other team trying to get control of the puck. When the other guys are on the power play they seem to have an abundance of time and space to move the puck around the perimeter, and the point men cruise in just about to the circles without anyone taking them on.
So, other than that goal, how's it look? ::demented::
can't find it...
Nice move by Nash to get free on the point. Results in a rebound and a goal (Barlow) finally.
[quote Section A Banshee]So, other than that goal, how's it look? ::demented::[/quote]
Looks a little better now.
Great move by Nash to get that started!
LGR!
Barlow!!!
Assists to Nash and McCutcheon
Open the floodgates! Let's go red!!!
[quote Jordan 04]Great move by Nash to get that started!

Looked like the dearly departed Pokulok.
Penalty on Lampe. Is a PP goal too much to ask?
Greening!!!
greening PP goal
NOPE!
I guess not. In fact, don't hesitate to ask again.
LGR!!!
A PP that had good movement for a change.
who here wants to text me the score each time it changes? Bout to head to dinner
Cornell is buzzing now. Results in a Q penalty.
Dude, you're on a roll right now. Call for take-out
[quote Killer]Dude, you're on a roll right now. Call for take-out[/quote]
haha..prior commitments. besides, the thread has been started already...the wheels are already in motion, nothing else i can do :P
Hey, ryeguy, that would be your cue...
LGR...time for dinner. guess iw ill check in on this thread at dinner from the treo :P
[quote Killer]Hey, ryeguy, that would be your cue...[/quote]
I'll get right on it for the next one!
Q penalty. Is a second PP goal too much to ask?
LET'S GO RED!
LET'S GO RED!
LET'S GO RED!
No luck that time.
Yeah. Bummer. Didn't think Topher was big enough to interfere with most guys. **]
Q penalty on Myers. can i get a pp goal?
waiting on seating for dinner....whats the score??
Still 2-1. Ragged Cornell power play.
I'm not goona ask again!
Wong injured. Any details?
Wong on the bench, taking a few shifts off.
Dumb offensive zone penalty.
KILL, RED, KILL!
Starting to play with fire taking all these penalties, especially consecutively.
lgr!
devils are up on the sabres = inching closer to the eastern conference #1 :)
What the fuck are we doing?!? Quit throwing punches.
Q goal, Wong at 16:12
This is sounding ugly. I've heard at least 5 guys named so far. Make that 8 (4 CU, 4 QU?) from what the Q announcers are saying.
[quote Jordan 04]What the fuck are we doing?!? Quit throwing punches.[/quote]
This team does dumb things too often.
I really wanted a lead going into the third. It's tough to play aggressively thinking that one goal can end your season.
I could see that goal coming. They were all over us.
LGR!!!!!!!!!
To be fair Cornell avoided mixing it up until the refs decided to do nothing about Seminoff being out-manned 4-1.
score 2-2? can't tell....thanks. time left?
2-2, gametracker for me is frozen at 3:48 left in the second.
Another offensive zone penalty. Makes no sense.
Clearly we are trying to blow this game.
Could see that penalty on Barlow coming the second he started streaking towards the corner....
I don't like that play by Cashman to end the period. His D partner was wide open for a one-timer and he instead tried to deke and a shoot. So instead of a last second shot on goal it's a block and a clear.
Your wrong, you should like that!
[quote ryeguy]Your wrong, you should like that![/quote]
I thought about that after I pressed "Post message" but I was too lazy to fix it. ::whistle::
steak was yummy....LGR!!
Let's try and get this PP thing working again.
...or at least set it up to create chances.
Damn right! Come on, guys, this would be a great time to get another one.
LGR!
Maybe the worst power play this year.
[quote Al DeFlorio]Maybe the worst power play this year.[/quote]
Followed by a penalty.
ticking timebomb.
lgr!
Still 2-2 with about 13 minutes to play
Doing our best to give it away but still tied. Puck's in our end way too much lately.
Q announcers making it sound like Davenport is keeping Cornell in the game.
No way we are going to stay in it if this keeps up. Davenport is keeping us in this.
Dumb penalty anyone?
Yeah, it sounds ugly. I'm not enjoying this.
We seriously need to change the flow of this one.
davenport a couple of great saves, and Sawada gets a 5 minute major for boarding...awesome
Yet one more stupid penalty in the offensive zone. What is wrong with these guys? And five minutes, no less.
OMG, 5 min major on Cornell.
Well replay shows us what happened. Ray hit him at the goal line propelling the QU player off his feet and into the boards.
Not your typical boarding penalty, but still a dangerous hit.
9 and change left to go at the start of the 5 minute penalty
Let's go reddd!!! Time to dig deep.
[quote oceanst41]Dumb penalty anyone?[/quote]
Could very well be a season ending dumb penalty. Between Seminoff running his mouth and now a hit from behind by Sawada, it's not looking good and they can only blame themselves.
Q hasn't been able to get much going...icing on Q with ~3 min on the PP
2:20 left to kill. Let's finish it off and use the momentum to score a late one and send this series to Sunday. See it's that easy ;-)
Didn't we kill a major late in a game at Lynah earlier this year?
This is painful to watch. Disgraceful.
Hard to watch this game and come to any conclusion other than...
Undeserving.
davenport makes a facemask save and covers with 1:15 to go in the PK
QU scores at the very end of the PP.
score for Q with a few second left in the PP
crap :(
Good try, but we just gave them too many chances.
Disappointing to see a Schafer-coached team play such stupid hockey. Not just tonight, either. Very surprising.
1:12 to go
davenport out 45s to go...save by Q with 35s to go
Time out Cornell. Let's go reddd!!!
[quote Al DeFlorio]Disappointing to see a Schafer-coached team play such stupid hockey. Not just tonight, either. Very surprising.[/quote]
Yes. But it's not just the stupid stuff. In the third period, Quinnipiac has been stronger in the corners, forechecking like animals, setting up the cycle, doing all the stuff we used to do. Used to do. Used to do.
:(
Congratulations to Quinnipiac. Got get 'em in Albany, 'cats.
They deserved it.
Such a shitty way to go out. BUt we didn't deserve it. THe better team didn't win, the team that deserved it did.
Cornell let up on the gas after they went up 2-1. You can't do that in any game let alone the playoffs.

Don't disagree at all. But with those factors, the other team has something to do with it. When you do something stupid...well...it's all your fault.
Mustering a total of four goals total in the four most important games of your season pretty much sums up why we're now gonna be watching only lacrosse.
Speaking of which, Duke is playing Loyola on CSTV as we speak. See ya.
That's usually a sign that players have tuned out the coach when "stupid" play continues.
Tough to see that here but I've seen it many times.
The silver lining may be that with Clarkson safely in the NCAAs, and SLU making a charge up the PWR a team like QU could win in Albany and give the league 3 in the national tournament.
Still doesn't sit well, but it's something.
Also of note, the only PP goal scored for QU this weekend was a big one.
Well, at least Francis nailed a 3 at the buzzer to win...
Thank you Seniors! Tough way to go out. They begin and end their careers with playoff series which never happened.
Hopefully an added year of experience and some discipline will get us back to Albany and beyond next year.
22 days until Opening Day.
No Harvard and no Cornell in Albany. When's the last time that happened??

I completely agree. This series loss, along with the team's inconsistent performance throughout the season, is very hard take. Surely we have the entire off-season to discuss this, but I for one want the old Schafer team - unfairly described by all as "big-n-slow" - back. The "fast-n-small" experiment pretty much failed this year.
LGR!
[quote DisplacedCornellian]No Harvard and no Cornell in Albany. When's the last time that happened??[/quote]
Off the top of my head, 1999. (The year of Willie Mitchell's last-second goal from the red line to put CCT past Princeton in the semis.)
Oh, and so actually the answer is never, since the ECACs were still in Placid back then.
[quote DisplacedCornellian]No Harvard and no Cornell in Albany. When's the last time that happened??[/quote]
No later than 1999.
2000 - Cornell lost to SLU in Semi, loses Consy
2001 - Cornell lost final to SLU (beat Harvard in semis)
2002 - Cornell lost final to Harvard
2003 - Cornell wins final over Harvard
2004 - Harvard wins final over Clarkson
2005 - Cornell wins final over Harvard
2006 - Harvard wins final over Cornell
Yup, 1999, the final 5 were (5) Colgate, (4) Princeton, (3) RPI, (2) SLU, and (1) Clarkson
an unfortunate development. I was looking forward to a Clarkson-Cornell match up...as well as those beers! :-)

I'm not ready to give up on this group of young players. I am hopeful that the memory of how this series was lost will stay with them for their remaining years here. Remember they are freshmen in college juggling classes, exams, projects and papers and hockey. For those that played junior hockey last year, I think all they had to focus on was primarily hockey and hockey in a different system than that employed by the Cornell coaching staff.
There were flashes of offensive spark from the freshmen, but yes, they (and the rest of the team) were inconsistent for most of the year. I think we lost quite a bit of leadership due to graduation and early defection to the pros, and it very well may be that Bitz, McC and Carefoot are more "supporting players" and not "natural leaders" that can compensate and "cover" for a very inexperienced team.
It has been very frustrating watching our team make stupid mistakes and essentially beat themselves. However, I am a believer that you have to "learn how to win" and I think this team has learned some valuable lessons, acquired a lot of experience and will come back much stronger next season.
BTW, I wish I had a quarter for every time Doug Krantz and Topher Scott mentioned the word "systems" during the intermission interviews with Jason Weinstein. I would have enough money to do a month's worth of laundry!
Look at what the teams were able to do after they skipped the playoffs in '03-'04.
There are some promising players that still have plenty of time on the hill. Barlow and Kennedy showed it from the sophomores, and Greening, Gallagher, Romano, Nash, et al showed it in flashes or streaks from the freshmen.
