Just keep updating the twitter feed so I can follow along :)
Rita and Abby-Baby checking in from the hell-hole (Lafayette, IN). And it is a quiet one; the kids have left for spring break. **]
Let's Go Red!
Is there free audio for this game, by any chance?
RIP is always free!

Is anyone else having trouble even purchasing the video? All the other ECAC games have links to watch but not ours...
No watch live button on b2 yet. It says come back 10 minutes before the event.
Am listening to national anthem on RPI feed so start is on schedule
link just came up for me

Well it sounds like Cornell is buzzing these last few mintues (I picked it up with about 14 to go, so I can't speak to anything prior).
b2 sucks
Cornell PP, Let's Go Red!!

Glad I'm saving the $8-24 bucks.
More offensive opportunities for the Red on the PP. but sounds like a good save by RPI goalie on Gallagher.

Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if brown wins tonight and 3 more? Would they actually get the NCAA autobid, or would they be excluded by the .500 rule? I can't remember if that only applies to at large bids or not.

BC is up 3-0 on UNH. Like last week, a sweep would drop UNH behind Cornell in the PWR.
And now Cornell going a man down for tripping
Yale gets 1 back, 2-1.

Bad in what way? The reputation of the league if the top seed lost or in how many ECAC teams make the tournament? I think Yale could still make the NCAA tournament if they were swept. Without considering other games it would drop them to 12.
lgr!

Number of teams. I haven't run the scripts but I bet Yale drops out if they lose two to Brown. I could be wrong.
Good: Our defense holding up well.
Not so Good: We have not solved RPI goalie York. I'm not real comfortable with RPI hanging in this game.
It sounds like we had better chances in the 1st period than in the 2nd.
The fear of playoff hockey, running into a goalie that gets in the zone and stops everything thrown at him. ::worry::
btw, SCSU @ Minn just underway, 0-0.
Quinnipiac back tied with SLU, 2-2.
And Yale ties up Brown. All games now tied.
BU and Maine are tied at 1 as well. Game is at second intermission.
Are there any out of conference games that are particularly meaningful for Cornell?

During conference playoff weekend? Edit: I mistook your meaning of out of conference. Out of our conference. Evidently I left my brain at work for the weekend.

Niagara already lost today to Robert Morris which was enough to drop Cornell from 10 to 11 for now.

Normally that benefits Cornell.
Keep an eye on New Hampshire because if they get swept they drop below Cornell. I think they make the NCAA tournament regardless. Also Ohio State are Colorado College are bubble teams. Their results are impact any ECAC team that ends up in the 12 to 14 area of the PWR - and one team is likely to be there after next week. And of course, we want Denver to sweep Anchorage because it kicks Minnesota out of the tournament by dropping AA from TUC.

Based on the comments by "Scoop85" and "lynah80", I'm not sure Ben can find the proper zone (and I hope he doesn't go looking for it behind the net!!!)

What about the SCSU v. Minnesota series, especially considering that we beat SCSU in Estero?
End of 1st period, Goofers up 1-0.
104.
I'm hearing the names Brutlag and Rebanni (sp?) too frequently. They seem to be playing well for RPI
PIMs 103 and 104 for Burgdoerfer put Cornell on another man advantage.
Okay, we just got a gift PP due to a (surprise!) bonehead play by Burgdoroff... 2 minute delay of game for giving a fan a souvenier.

Damn.
RPI scores. 2:36 left in the 3rd period.
Opps, 2:46. We need those extra 10 seconds.
RPI scores.
2004 all over again... ugh.
Oh, jeez, there goes Scrivens' shutout.
Scrivens should be looking at the bench from the inside right now... good god.
Empty net.
Time out Cornell, 28 seconds left.
LGR!!
There's always Sunday.
I didn't know it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows.
So, I have to get up to answer the door, only to come back to hear the RPI score. Oy! ::worry::
That was sub-optimal.

"Twins, Max. Twins." -- Annie Hall
it wasnt a bad effort, just no goals. you have to get one PP goal out of all the puck control we had on it and how many times are we standing in front of the net to get tackled or miss the shot. we had about 3x as many quality chance and nothing to show for it.
[quote scoop85][quote billhoward]Oh, jeez, there goes Scrivens' shutout.[/quote]

I would think it a much bigger concern since we didn't have a lead at the time.
I am blown away with how many late game let downs there have been in the second half. Just because we could see this coming after two periods doesn't make it right. ::bang::
Well we'll see what this team is made of tomorrow. I don't know what the PWR implications of this are, but I'm guessing they have nothing to fall back on right now, at least nothing very sturdy.

Yeah, that didn't come out right. What I meant was whether Scrivens' got a shutout was the least of my concerns, although of course if he had his shutout we'd at least still be playing.
To make matters worse, my RedCast crapped out at the faceoff with 28 seconds left in the game.
Please tell me that we tied it up and we are now in OT.

I just replayed Jason's call of the RPI goal, but it wasn't too descriptive other than went high glove side. Was Scriven's screened at all? Was it poor (no) reaction to the shot?

Sorry to be non-specific: I was simply referring to the prospect of losing in the quarterfinals, a feeling that is never good. As Chris said, 2007 is another good example.
QuoteI also like how you've folded up your tent in a best-of-three after 1 game.
I haven't folded it up yet, but it doesn't signal good things when you lose to a bottom-feeder like RPI.
Does anyone know anything about this "save" from where I was sitting i clearly saw the puck past York sitting in the goal. Had the whistle already blown? How was that not a goal?!

On the other hand, if you have to go down a game in a best of three to someone you'd rather it be a bottom feeder. There's no reason to think Cornell can't come back and win two in a row against RPI.

Here's to that.
His reflexes and gut instincts are excellent. But I agree, he skates out of the net too far sometimes and once he comes well out of the net, he does do things that are unconventional. With more self discipline, he could be really great next year.

Kyle - did you mean he should be benched after giving up one goal on 30+ shots 57 minutes into the game, or did you mean we should be skating 6x5?

I think you mean one goal on 10+ shots, since RPI had 14 shots the entire game.
I'm guessing he meant we should be 6x5, but that's just a guess. :-)
what were the actual shot counts vs shots on goal.. thats more in showing the actual activity.. seemed like cornell had its usual ton of missed nets.

Haven't we been saying this, or at least thinking it, ever since he's worn a Big Red sweater? I would think that he should have had the discipline to be a little more cautious coming out of the net this season. Or at the very least after the Yale and Brown games two weeks ago.

Even with this issue, he is still a very good goalie. He isn't playing to his full potential, but you would hope that Cornell would be able to win on a night when he only gave up one goal and his save % was 0.928

Oh, fully agreed on all points. I'm not trying to say he shouldn't be between the pipes, but I think next season we're all still going to have to hold our breaths every time we see him push away from the net.
[quote DisplacedCornellian]I'm guessing he meant we should be 6x5, but that's just a guess. :-)[/quote]
No, I mean after nearly giving up that empty net goal when he screwed up skating out of the net to control the puck earlier in the game. He simply shouldn't be making that kind of mental mistake after this long as the starting goalie.

You can afford to bench a player for stupid mistakes in the middle of the season. In March it's not such a great idea. Especially for a goalie whose backups have had very little ice time.

He certainly can't do it in game 2 or 3. But he could have done it in game 1 with the same outcome.
