Title: Cornell Harvard (Semifinal) (End of 2nd period)
Post by: Sperris on March 21, 2008, 07:39:46 PM
0-0 at the end of the first period.

Can't say anything more because... I have a fear of the hockey gods.


Lets Go Red!!!

It seemed like a pretty evenly played period. Cornell had some good opportunities on their PP.

The NHLN announcers interviewed Justin Krueger's dad, Ralf (sp), the head coach of the Swiss National team. Coach Krueger had some nice things to say about college hockey and how the mix of hockey and academics is good for making a complete player/person.

For the Lynah Faithful in Europe, the game is available on Slingbox, at least in Switzerland where Justin's Mom is watching. :).

Oh shit. Harvard with a PPG.

Short side, squeezed in underneath Scriven's arm (or between arm and the post). Bad goal to give up.

Post by: CKinsland on March 21, 2008, 08:07:32 PM
Harvard sucks and all, but these announcers aren't awful.

They noted that Biega's penalty was just stupid ("It isn't often you see him take such a useless penalty out of anger" or something close).

And, they raved about the beauty of the Sawada to Scott play that lead to our goal.  ("Just a perfectly executed pass").

1st minute of the PP ugly; couldn't get it deep into Harvard's zone.

Second minute looking a bit better. Loose puck in front but we (Gallagher) couldn't find the back of the net.

I didn't see the trip, but Kennedy laid a blatant slash on the guy's hand on a breakaway. WTF did he think was gonna happen? It was pointless too because even making contact it didn't help the play in the slightest.

Special teams. Special teams.

Harvard with their 3rd PPG.

Guy in front tips it past Scrivens.

This loss stings. It was undisciplined (sp) play.

Can't beat a good team when you take so many penalties.  Raises the odds against you.

I thought we skated with Harvard all the way, but spent too much time in the box.

Not to mention that second goal, which squirted past Scrivens because he wasn't set against the post.

Game over. Cornell v. Colgate in the consolation game tomorrow at 4 pm.

A good, hard fought game, unfortunately, not enough bounces in the offensive zone, a bad goal given up by Scrivens and some bad penalties.

Hopefully the returning players will remember how painful this loss is and come back stronger next season.

Thank you Seniors for one more trip to Albany. Remember, there were several times this season where we didn't think this team could win a playoff series, but they won two of them and gave Harvard a good fight.

Agreed. The team that ended the season is a hell of a lot better than the team I saw against RIT and at Lynah East. And I also can't help but go back to the Capital Region road trip, where we really didn't have one good period of play.

Another loss to Harvard in a big game. Sucks has beaten us 6 out of the last 7 times we've played, including 2 games in Albany, and three regular season finales.

Disappointing effort. This team fought its way to Albany, only to flop tonight. I'm sure this isn't how the seniors wanted to go out.

And it appears they are not going away anytime soon. They have a lot of good young talent, and apparently a very strong recruiting class on the way.  Schafer will have some work to do, and it remains to be seen if we will have enough overall talent to move back to the very top of the league.

That being said, I think the team achieved about as much as would have been expected, although it always hurts to lose when you get close.  Good effort and much better cohesiveness than last year; just disappointing that we could never knock off any of the top teams on our schedule.

Although it won't make me feel much better, it would be nice to see Princeton continue their fairy-tale ride tomorrow.  Kalemba made some phenomenal saves against Colgate, and he'll have to continue with that stellar play tomorrow.

The second was very weak.  No way a goalie should get beat from that angle (one stride above the goal line).  Watching it live, you could see that the immediate deflating effect.   Other than that I thought Scrivens played fairly well.

Just not enough quality chances generated against Richter and he made a few big stops at key points.

The first and third goals were deflections where Scrivens was screened at the same time...not much you can do as a goalie to prevent those, so I'm not sure you can call those weak at all.  The second...yes, very weak.
