National anthem was at 4:02pm, puck dropped at 4:05pm
Iggy scores the first goal for Cornell! And he scores the second!! Moulson on the third goal!!! Hornby puts in the game winner in OT!!!!
Adam W confirmed that Ohio State is in fact backing out of the Everblades next year for their own holiday tournament to get their stadium ready for the 2005 FF. BC will be the rotating team while St. Cloud will replace OSU. OSU will probably be back for 2005.
Recap from BRA:
First period was almost all OSU. The Buckeyes are moving the puck well and hitting hard. Cornell's passing is sloppy, but the AHA line is skating very well and will generate some opportunities. Cornell had two good scoring chances - Vesce sweeping in from the goalie's right side, but he couldn't squeeze the puck in and then later Bitz missed a not-quite-open net.
McKee didn't have a chance on the OSU [PP] goal. Everyone was watching the puck while an OSU player held it in the office and nobody tried to stop the scorer from skating right down in between the circles to take the puck. Otherwise, a scramble or two aside in which he kept his composure and covered up, OSU hasn't really generated chances despite controlling play.
Cornell really controlled play in the 2d. All three goals were hard-earned. I assure you all that the first Iggulden goal came on a pass from McCutcheon. McCutcheon is having a great game. The second goal was mostly Cook's. He really blistered a shot from the point, Betz couldn't handle it, and Iggy just barely poked it through. I have to see the replay on the Moulson goal to see how he got set up. It was a great shot though, from a short angle to the goalie's right.
OSU is at their best when they have a little space. They have had some very good 2-on-1 chances that they didn't convert on (they keep missing the net). Caponegri's goal was amazing he came in from McKee's left, held off his defender and just flat beat McKee top-shelf. A real goal-scorer's goal. Both teams are hitting HARD. A great game to watch.
The third period was just dominated by OSU. Cornell was content to just casually clear the puck, but they did a very poor job of it. They started the period by giving the puck away right in front of McKee three times, but McKee made a great save and OSU just flat missed the net twice. 12 minutes into the period, CU had only one shot.
All that mediocrity paid off when tOSU tied it up after winning the draw after a Cornell icing. Shortly thereafter, Caponegri committed the boner of the tournament. He mouthed off after getting called for icing with 5:02 (he thought he was close enough to the red line for government work) and was given a 10 minute misconduct. He missed the rest of the 3d and all of OT. Cornell generated one spectacular chance, but Betz saved the game (temporarily) by stoning one of the Abbotts with a little over 2 minutes left. As the clock ran out Cornell did all it could to give away the game, but a level head by McKee and some good fortune sent the game to OT.
Absolutely the worst period I've seen this team play all year. But then ...
The OT started badly as O'Byrne just handed the puck to tOSU in the slot 10 seconds into the period, but McKee saved O'Byrne's bacon. Finally the Red got the puck in deep on OSU, Cam tapped it to Chris who fed it to a charging Hornby; Hornby beat Betz to the short side. A great finish by Hornby, and a great play by the line.
I told you that the AHA line would generate a chance. See, First Period Recap.
General impressions. Great games from Iggy, Knoepfli and the AHA line.
It is tough to give defensive grades because there was so much sloppy D. O'Byrne may be big and strong, but his skating and stickwork is often oafish and he can get buffaloed by little guys. He may be a future-Bâby, but he isn't a present-Bâby. Moulson had a great goal, but I can't really describe the play because it developed so quickly and the replay by CSTV was awful (it was cut tight; all they showed was the shot).
McKee came up big when he had to, and only the third tOSU goal can really be pinned on him.
Caponegri can flat play. I hate him almost as much as Kolarik. Revenge is sweet. Down go the Buckeyes.
And the curse is off the Bell jersey. LET'S GO RED!!!

Steckl is out of the game with a shoulder injury
excellent...all righty...lgr!!!
now i gotta figure out if i can get to the chat without installing excessive crap on someone elses computer....
Steckel's absence is HUGE. He was outstanding in the first matchup this year.
Ohio State gets another early power play?? Struggling to hear the broadcast...
Cornell kills off the OSU pp. 0-0, early.
back to 5x5...5th straight game with an early penalty
early pp killed off.
okay, so i'm not the only having difficulty hearing...
it was chris abbott with a cross check
ya, they got one, but its 5 on 5 now
Tony is especially hard to hear...boasted my system sound to 100% but it is still soft...oh well
go to the graphic equalizer in real player and fiddle with it a little
Audio is fine here. Reload, maybe?
did they just boost it during the commercial? It got really loud
Penalty on Hynes, OSU on pp.
Ugh
OSU Power play goal.
how much time left in per
how many OSU pp's so far?
2
Cornell first pp comin up. Shots are 7-1 OSU so far.
Post Edited (12-28-03 16:42)
8 minutes...penalty on OSU as Moulson had someone all over his back
Cornell powerplay, 7:45 to go in 1st period
Shots: Cornell 1, OSU 7
Cornell has been outshot 7-1
I'm going to chill with the updates today--I have too much going on in the background...do either of you want to take it away Justin or GB?
greg, why dont you do the updates here
Cornell delay of game. Sure, I'll update, but I don't control the thread title (subject line of Adam's first post).
OSU going on their 3rd pp.
Post Edited (12-28-03 16:41)
sounds like a brutal start for cornell
OSU gets several chances from a distance before Cornell kills off the pp. Cornell ices with 2:40 to go, back to 5-on-5.
Not sure it's been brutal -- there's been no flow and Cornell's been shorthanded most of the period. No horrendous mistakes yet, and but for a great Betz save on Bitz it would be 1-1.
Post Edited (12-28-03 16:41)
The Abbotts almost set up a chance in the final minute. OSU ices again, Red will get another chance in the offensive zone.
Post Edited (12-28-03 16:41)
Bitz draws a penalty in the closing seconds of the period -- Cornell will start the second with 1:55 of pp.
End of first: 1-0, Ohio State.

I kind of blame myself for the defecit - I am wearing the cursed white 2 jersey. I can't take it off, though. It wasn't cursed for Bell, so I refuse to fully accept that it is cursed now.
Is the team wearing their home white jerseys again?
Yes, Cornell in white and last change again tonight.
OSU backs out of the tourney for just one year next year - due to them hosting the Frozen Four, the NCAA wants them to host their own holiday tourney to prepare.
Next year is Cornell, Maine, BC, and Saint Cloud .

Apparently Brown tied 1-1 with Findlay earlier today after losing to Wayne State yesterday.
Cornell hits the post, Knoepfli robbed by Betz, and then Cornell called for a penalty.
OSU now on pp for the next 1:40ish.
Vesce hits the post on a great PP shot, Knoepfli can't lift the rebound and Betz makes a great save. Moulson gets called for a cheap penalty.
Post Edited (12-28-03 17:08)
I think that's the first time I've heard Vesce's name all weekend. How did he play yesterday?
Cornell kills off the 4th OSU pp after Buckeyes unable to put together a good chance.
14:53 to go in the second. Cornell starting to get the better of the even strength play -- let's hope we see some of it!
Cornell kills penalty. Knoepfli feeds one perfectly to Pegoraro, but he shot it over the net. 14:45 left.
Yes, Vesce played yesterday. Only sub of a regular this weekend is Salmela in for Gleed. Adam commented that Salmela is playing well.
IGGULDEN!
McCutcheon's first point.
Iggy!!!!!
C-O-R-N-E-double L!
How??????????!!!!!!!!!!

GOAL!!! Iggulden came in on the goalies right and snapped in a perfect feed from McCutcheon from behind the net. Great hard-work goal.
Not quite halfway through the 2d. Still some very choppy passing in the offensive zone by Cornell, but that was a great play.
Post Edited (12-28-03 17:12)
Guess we did see something of that improved 5 on 5 play after all :-)
From Adam: Iggy lightly tapped in a rebound off McCutcheon's shot, but I'll take the TV replay. :)

For those that care, Dartmouth's scored 3 unanswered goals to go up on Mankato 5-3 late in the 2nd.
Whew, OSU had a corner but missed the net. Still tied.
10:17 to go in the second.
Nice job by Dartmouth -- ECAC uber alles.
we all care, Ben...great job and thanks for the update!
Sure wish I had a dish or that Comcast carried CSTV......
That's what CSTV wants you to say...call Comcast and let them know
Yeah, I've sent about 200 emails to Comcast. Not working so far.
6:48 to go in the second. Lots of play stuck in the middle of the sheet.
IGGULDEN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I called Time Warner last week and they laughed at me...they said their first priority was signing a contract with Fox Sports and MSG...now that the contract is signed, they should expect a lot of calls this week ;-)
why are we not playing davy after the goal....? or are my ears trying to make me think i'm nuts?
Any details of whats going on now? What period? Score
Thanks
at least they don't sound the fog horn after our goal...I bet they have a recording of our songs
Post Edited (12-28-03 17:26)
Scoring so far:
1 07:48 OSU Bernard 1 (?) pp
2 07:56 Cor Iggulden 1 (McCutcheon 1)
2 13:20 Cor Iggulden 2 (Cook 9)
2 15:10 OSU Caponigri 12 (unassisted)
A lot since my last update.
OSU comes close but the midget shot it wide on a 2-on-1. Hynes nearly broke in for one, but OSU tied up his stick just as he came across the crease. A lot of checking at center ice. Active teams.
Cook fires one from the point, Betz makes the save, but Iggy is able to slide the rebound under Betz.
Then Caponigri ties the game on a great individual move. 2-2.
HockeyGuy, score is 2-2 in the 2nd period (see the subject of the first post of the thread :-) ). Both CU goals by Iggulden.
Who got the assists on the second one, by the way?
Post Edited (12-28-03 17:23)
OSU icing with less than 3 minutes left in the 2d. Let's take another faceoff.
After Iggy's goal, Caponigri, their leading scorer, went around Wallace like a traffic cone and roofed it.
They have recorded clips played over the P.A. after a given team's goal -- hence C-O-R-N-E-double L and not Davey.
Post Edited (12-28-03 17:25)
Now 7-3 Dartmouth after two periods.
Ouellette with 2 goals and Jessiman with a goal and three assists. Szymanski, Sampson, Turner, and Guimond with the other Dartmouth goals.
Now let's hope Dartmouth doesn't pull a Denver and blow it.
Moulson!!!
Moulson buries one after a scuffle to make it 3-2.
Moulson with a goal from the goalie's right side! (My previous post should have said 3:52 left.) 3-2 RED!!! 3 minutes left now.
Vesce had the goalie screened and tied up.
Post Edited (12-28-03 17:26)
Scoring on the last goal:
2 17:00 Cor Moulson 8 (Vesce 11)
Shots are 11-10 Cornell.

Carefoot just tackled an OSU player with the puck in front of the net. It was a penalty he HAD to take.

I'll leave the wrapup to bra, who is actually watching on tv -- I've just got the radio.

I assure you all that the first Iggulden goal came on a pass from McCutcheon. ;-) McCutcheon is having a great game. The second goal was mostly Cook's.

Both teams are hitting HARD. A great game to watch.
Thanks guys for the updates, keep us updated during the 3rd as well
Thanks
Lets go big red, can anyone tell me if Kenny Bernard is playing for OSU, I believe hes #44 thansk
he got the first osu goal
thanks BRA(h)!
Yes, thanks for the updates, folks. My wife, also a CU 81 grad, just suggested that I'm the oldest one in this group reading/writing on this forum. Say it ain't so! (I still bleed CU red after nearly 23 years...). Going to Providence with my teenage son (and my CU hockey jersey) on Jan. 10 to see us beat Brown....

harvard's du...
perhaps we can call him 'doo-doo' at lynah east...
So much for Brown. After losing to Wayne State yesterday in OT, Brown tied Findlay today. Findlay is 4-12-3.
Yesterday was a tough day around the ECAC. The only winners were us and Vermont(!). Harvard, Clarkson, Brown, Union and Yale all lost. (Dartmouth lost to UMass in a shootout, but I think that counts as a tie.)
and the 3d has started.
Out of town scores:
Clarkson 1, Harvard 2 1st
Michigan 6, Mich Tech 2 F
Colgate 4, Northeastern 5 end of 2nd
Adam W was way off on the Dartmouth score
Dartmouth 7, Mankato 3 15 min to go
Union, UMass just got underway (http://storage-node1.cs.uml.edu/ram...oadcast/live.rm)

Good point, Adam. I forgot where I went to school for a moment. Used to be a bigger problem, though, back in the late 70s, early 80's. Ok, back to hockey...
pettit
First four minutes ALL OSU. Three bad turnovers in front of McKee, but no goals.
cavanaugh... (bastard)
Shots are now 13-11, sounds like CU back on their heels a little.
Does that mean that Kolarik assisted on the goal? :-P
[q]My wife, also a CU 81 grad, just suggested that I'm the oldest one in this group reading/writing on this forum.[/q]
Don't worry. I'm not the oldest regular, and I top you by nine years.
Thanks, David, I'm feeling a bit younger now!! :-P
no. like how most people tend to follow harvard with (sucks), i tend to follow the mention of each player with (bastard)
Next four minutes much better, but still ZERO CU shots.
Plus, you have to figure that out of EIGHTY-ONE current visitors on elynah right now (!), a few are older than you :-).
Oh, just ignore the '05 after my name ;-)
cavanaugh...sucks
petit...sucks
kolarik...sucks
Heck they all suck
Abbotts generate some excitement but no good chances. Cornell seems to be hanging back.
Now Cornell with trouble clearing three times until Hynes finally gets it out of the zone. OSU buzzing.
9:47 to go in regulation.
05. My God!
CRAP.
Bad D. 3-3
Saw that coming from a mile away. Waddell ties it for Ohio State.
all we need to do is hold strong on d another goal would help also
there goes the strong d
harvard rules cornell stinks
OSU rings the post. Now going on pp. Ut oh. 6:47 in regulation.
I have heard of this crap website of yours
Now a misconduct on Caponigri, but Cornell still a man down.
McKee loses his stick but Cornell able to clear. Powerplay ends -- nice kill by Cornell. 4:36 to go in the third.
who is this harvard (bastard)
Greg, how much time left???
OSUs leading scorer that is dressed tonight...what happens if the game ends in a tie? OT? Shootout?
as many overtimes as needed
I dunno but you and him have the same first three digits on your IP address... ::stupid::
Caponegri out for the rest of the game after beefing about a close icing call!
i'm going to watch havard win
2:30 to go. AHA line sets up Cammy but he's robbed by Betz.
just jokin with ya
Time????
Betz robbed Abbott! Damn!
Betz with a great save. 2:14 left.
are u sure about the overtimes?
i thought it will go down in the books as a tie if the end result after reg. is a tie
any OT/shootout is merely for the tournament title?
Shots 20-15 OSU...9-4 this period in favor of OSU
1:36 to go in regulation.
Dartmouth beats Mankato 8-5, in a game that featured 4 goaltenders (Samuels started for Dartmouth, Yacey finished), 3 misconducts (2 to Dartmouth, 1 to Mankato), and plenty of goals.
Thank god that 9 game road trip is over.
Now you guys go beat tOSU for the ECAC.
Adam W guarantees that Steckel won't score the game winner this time... :-P
Pegs' wide with a wrister, Cornell getting pressure. 1 minute to go.
end of regulation ...
OSU all sorts of chances but can't get it in at the buzzer. Whew, that was lucky.
Going into overtime.
Going to OT. Just barely. Cornell almost gave it up with seconds to go. Recap of 3d coming.
overtime format is 5 minutes + shootout... my mistake earlier
5 min OT then shootout
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
anyone want to confirm my ot/regulation/shootout suspicion?
OT is 5 minutes and then a shootout. Presumably it goes into the books as a tie afterthe five.
The 3d period was OSU's from beginning to end. Quick start means I don't have time to type the rest of the recap until later.
O'Bryne lets it get stolen by Kelly just misses.
there's probably more people watching the cornell game on cstv and listening on the radio than there are people at the dunkin' donuts center...
3:38 to go in overtime, Carefoot's 4th line is out there, I guess we aren't Mazzolini. ;-)
2:50 to go faceoff in CU zone.
ABBOTTT!!!!!!!!!!! WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
HORNBY!
All-is-forgiven recap after I see the replays.
Post Edited (12-28-03 18:26)
Excellent!!!
Adam now saying it was Hornby. WHAT A HUGE WIN.
Any guesses on where we will be ranked tomorrow???? Certainly north of Brown, now.
Scoring on final goal:
4 2:30 Cor Hornby 2 (Cam Abbott 4, Chris Abbott 7)
Cornellians on all-tourny team:
Moulson, Knoepfli.
MVP: Iggulden.
Iggy gets the tourny MVP! Wow

From that list I'd say we would jump over Brown and Dartmouth and maybe Miami. So, somewhere between 12 and 13.
The Brown consolation game again Findlay is officially a tie, but for the purposes of the tournament, they needed a 3rd place team so a shootout determined the team.
...and for us dish-less students
again, many thanks

It is tough to give defensive grades because there was so much sloppy D. O'Byrne may be big and strong, but his skating and stickwork is often oafish and he can get buffaloed by little guys.

[q]Anyone catch whether the CSTV announcers ever mentioned for whom the championship trophy is named? And why? [/q]
I don't believe they did.
I vaguely recall seeing the trophy in some quick shots at the end of the HDTV broadcast and it might have had Ned Harkness's name on it...
Yes. They certainly showed it on a number of occasions. I don't ever recall any explanation behind the name though.

The surprise was that it was on my cable system at all. Cox in Gainesville doesn't carry CSTV, but it has a couple HD channels which aren't assigned full time to any station. They just pick up random HD programs and shove them on those channels. I've already written to thank them for picking up the Everblades tourney and asked them to show the Harvard game which CSTV said they were covering as well.
the trophy had ned harkness on it but i am not sure why :)

Yes, it was clear on the broadcast that the trophy was named for Ned.
But I'm a little surprised the announcers, who fussed so much over Everblades' President/GM Craig Brush's being a former Cornell player, etc., never mentioned that the tournament's trophy was named for Brush's coach, who happened to have coached three NCAA championship teams. Either they're not very observant or they have no sense of college hockey history.
IIRC, it is the Harkness Cup, so named because the tournament founder, Craig Brush, played for Harkness on the 1970 National Champion.
Beat me by 2 seconds, Al. :-( ;-)

I have to see the replay on the Moulson goal to see how he got set up. It was a great shot though, from a short angle to the goalie's right.
Moulson's goal came as a result of a truly classic Cornell line shift.
Vesce started the shift by winning a faceoff to Betz's left with 3:51 left in the second period. From that point Vesce, Bitz, and Moulson, with help from a pinch by O'Byrne, cycled the puck without losing possession for 51 seconds--the puck going from one sideboard to the other five times--until Moulson finally got possession of it alone behind the net, came out to Betz's right, centered it, then regained possession, waited for Betz to go down, and lifted it over him at the 3:00 mark.
Mike must have loved it.
That was the second holiday tourny championship in the 11 in Mike Schafer's tenure: http://members.cox.net/tbrwmisc/games/cornellHolidayTournies.html

The Cornell fans were certainly there. From the News-Press (the local paper) on Saturday's game:
"About 500 Big Red graduates and fans sat behind the visitor's goal and made a considerable ruckus. 'Let's go Red, Let's go Red," the group chanted as the team's lead ballooned."
The 500 seems an exaggeration (as does the 7,000 Saturday attendance) and, of course, we would have made just as much noise if Cornell was behind. The PEP BAND WAS BADLY MISSED (hope they get there next year), but we certainly did our best. They had recordings of each team's fight song, but curiously rather than "Give My Regards to Davy," it was the "New Song." There were a good number of Maine fans but they were totally silent except when Maine scored.
It was hardly a dominant performance by Cornell, but basically all those near misses against Bowling Green, Ohio State and Marymount earlier in the season went in Estero. So maybe there is justice. Cornell just doesn't win the battles along the boards as consistently as they did last season --it's been a while since I saw a team cycle the puck against Cornell the way Ohio State did. Still, two tough wins against good teams.

Granted, the team isn't as strong along the boards this year without Baby, Palahicky, et al, but CCHA teams play a more Cornell-like (cycling) style than most other teams Cornell plays against. I think that this style has become prevalent in the CCHA because teams play each other two nights in a row. The thinking is that if you can bruise the other team along the boards the first night, you'll have an easier time the second night.
Marymount? :)
Who are the strongest guys along the boards this year? Bitz? Hornby? O'Byrne?

I'd say Matt Moulson...he's added a lot of muscle to go with his good hands this year. During his games at Lynah, he's been breaking free from defenders regularly. Bitz is doing well too, that whole line has been doing great along the boards.

Last year they played the New Cornell Fight Song ("C-O-R-N-E-double-L"); this year they alternated between NCFS and "Fight For Cornell". We should really let someone know beforehand next year.
