McGill beat Yale tonight, 3-2. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but still, thought I'd mention it...
Um.... ack. Interesting choice for an exhibition opponent.
Keep in mind that I don't think anyone reputable is predicting Yale to do well in the ECACHL this year. I'm not saying that should mean anything for us. I'm just saying, keep that in mind.
Surprisingly (to me anyway), there are about 200 tickets still available for tonight's game.

I'm still not that concerned. They are in the middle of the pack in Canadian College Hockey, which is hardly a hockey hotbed.
Didn't Yale also lose to the US Under-18 team last year? (Granted that was last year, but still...)

They just went on sale this morning, so that's probably why.
Is that the number of seats available on a per game basis for all home games? (Maybe it's slightly higher than normal since it likely includes a number of give-backs from McGill in section O and maybe more player tickets than usual)
I'd almost rather we lost a meaningless exhibition. Get rid of any vestiges of overconfidence going into the Army game.
In any case, here's hoping for NO INJURIES.
I think the place is going to be a little empty of students also b/c of the John Cleese show tonight and the fact that its only exhibition. Hopefully we can still get the place rocking though.

We are required to reserve 100 visitor seats for league games. Unsold visitor tickets go on sale Friday morning.
As of this morning there were about a dozen unsold season tickets in section G. They were all sold today.
Is there audio/video for tonight's game?

According the the official game notes, there won't be either: http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/corn/sports/m-hockey/auto_pdf/weekly-release.pdf
Will poking around the McGill website...I found a list of notable alumni. Our own Ken Dryden earned his law degree there while playing in the NHL. William Shatner also graduated from McGill.
Stop in to the Volleyball game in Newman Arena inbetween periods, it is a huge game against Princeton. There is more to Cornell Athletics than hockey.
So does that mean anyone who can listen to the game will be in Ithaca and therefore at it rather than chatting?
There is Gametracker. It's kinda cool, bit it impedes posting (obviously).
I will post goals.
Lines:
LW, RW, C
27-Knoepfli, 11-Carefoot, 18-Iggulden
24-Moulson, 28-Hynes, 26-Scott
14-Cam Abbott, 12-Sawada, 15-Pegoraro
9-Varteressian, 10-McCutcheon, 19-Chris Abbott
LD, RD
23-Downs, 2-O'Bryne
14-Pokulok, 7-Cook
22-Glover, 6-Gleed
17-Krantz (extra D)
G
31-McKee
1-Chabot
30-Davenport
And look at that scoring line:
17:55 Cor Scott (Sawada, Krantz)
1-0 Cornell, end of first period.
SOG: Cornell 13 McGill 3. 8 came on one Cornell pp.
anyone up for chatting on irc.warped.net?
why arent abbott and abbott playing on the same line? so sad
no, sad is watching a game at lynah over the forum. till now, i haven't missed a home game since the 98-99 season :(
Mathieu Leclerc is eating Iggulden's lunch on faceoffs.
I think the power-play "shot" numbers refer to all shots, not just shots on goal. McGill has six shots on their power-plays, but only three shots-on-goal.
SLU 1-0 over Maine after one. Shots 11-10 Maine.
Western Ontario 1-0 over Dartmouth midway through period one. Shots 6-6.
Bowling Green 2-0 over Union after one. Shots 13-8 Union.
NIA, whatever that is, leading Vermont 3-0 early in the second.
Cornell's Gametracker seems more dead than live. Stuck at early in the second.
probably NIA = niagara
Cornell up 3-0!
COR-2 Knoepfli (Pegoraro, Carefoot)
COR-3 Abbott, Cam (unassisted) - PPG
[Q]Bio '04 Wrote:

Yep, that must be it.
Now 3-0 Cornell on Knoepfli and Cam Abbott goals. After two. Shots 23-7.
One wonders why, if they can spell out "Massachusetts," they can't spell out "Niagara." ::screwy::
Warning. Random thought ahead:
When I see the heading for this topic, it reminds me of "tea with Miss McGill."
Sorry **]
(At least it's a hockey-related quote. Sort of.)
While Iggulden can't seem to win a draw, Gametracker has Topher Scott at 8 for 11.
[Q]One wonders why, if they can spell out "Massachusetts," they can't spell out "Niagara."[/Q]
It does boggle the mind.
But, a question from the clueless: where exactly is "zone B"?

And Leclerc is now 12 out of 13. Does he give lessons?
How can McLeod lose a faceoff if he's not listed on any of the lines?
meh, i see he is listed under player stats...
[Q]Bio '04 Wrote:

Dunno, but he lost it during a McGill power-play. Do we have a center with a similar number?
Troy Davenport now in goal (start of third).
Chabot now in at goal? Poor Davenport got in the game but didn't see any shots. Heh.
[15:03] GOAL by COR Scott, Topher, Assist by Hynes, Shane
COR-4 Scott (Hynes)
Final: Cornell 4, McGill 0
Shots on Goal: Cornell 37, McGill 10.
And that'll do it. Guess Yale just wasn't a very good 10th place team ;-)

Having made the trip from New Haven to Ithaca more times than I care to remember, I suspect taking that bus ride today didn't help McGill...along with playing a close game last night. Still, a solid opening performance for the good guys.
And great to see two goals from a frosh who, at least in the line-ups, appeared to be centering the "big" line (Hynes and Moulson). Another pint-sized "giant" to replace the one we lost to graduation?
Empty net for Maine. Still 1-0 SLU. Does this one count for the Commissioners' Cup? ::nut::
Edit: It's over. SLU holds on. Last ten (or maybe twelve) shots-on-goal for Maine.
1 17:55 Cor Scott (Sawada, Krantz)
2 04:48 Cor Knoepfli (Pegoraro, Carefoot)
2 08:02 Cor Cam Abbott (unassisted)
3 15:03 Cor Scott (Hynes)
Hynes could be an absolutely dominant player. He seems SO close, but not quite there yet. I think the guy could be a regular in the NHL.
I didn't feel like starting a new thread just to post this, so....here's the result of Harvard's exhibition against Windsor. Harvard outshot them 47-8 and somehow didn't win!
http://www.uscho.com/box/?date=20041023&vis=other&home=hu&gender=m
yikes! this is the same Windsor team that Princeton just beat 9-2! I don't know if this says something about Princeton, or about Harvard :)

[/q]
I think it says something about Harvard goalie John Daigneau. Good thing, too, because I love mocking Hyphen. :-D
Another thing jumped out at me: Attendance - 175
Anyone know or remember who the ref and linesmen were? Box scores for the game seem to be a bit... lacking.
Wasn't Hansen the ref?
[Q]Brian Wrote:

Yes; I don't remember the linesmen though
Was it cooke? or was that the linesman for the red/white game?
Yeah, one of the linesmen was Cooke, and I think the other was Zuckerman.
Thanks, all.
