game underway
all 3 cornell d'men back
Safe to say we're coming out hitting.
Penalty after action in front of McKee, PK coming.
Clarkson broadcast is about a minute behind the posts here.

The inbreeding makes them slow.
We almost had a SH break there.
Killed.
Clarkson announcers talking about missing Clitsome.
It's a common problem. ::rolleyes::
Moulson and Dalareese get caught up, for some reason only Moulson gets a penalty..
2-1 on the PK, goalie way out of the net, but the pass goes wide...
Killed.
Power play for the good guys.

There is some singing in the background...it's less noticeable when the announcers stop speaking. I wonder if his mic is picking up the signal or they just have a leaky cable someplace. But then I still hear the buzz during commercials which should be played from back in Potsdam and not at Lynah.
McCutcheon tripped on a SH chance, penalty on Clarkson.
Gate 0 Q'pac 0 late 1st.
You can't count!
And the Potsdam bantams won their youth hockey game today.

Good first period. Many chances, especially from the Kennedy line. Having the Dmen back is comforting. I may have missed it, but I haven't seen much of Krantz.
[quote Jordan 04]Errr....how was that not 5 minutes?[/quote]Right! if it came through loud and clear on the webcast, how could the officials -- whose vision is better than 320 x 200 pixels -- have missed that?

This may be a question better placed in the pairwise analyis thread, but is a MSU loss (and Cornell losing its bonus), liable to hurt us in the pairwise?
Clarkson gets a rebound goal to make it 1-1
but McCLUTCHeon comes through 30 seconds later through a screen to make it 2-1!

Mike, what is the score?
I missed the Clarkson goal, but McCutcheon puts Cornell back ahead. Now 2-1 Cornell.
Goals by Barlow and McCutcheon -- which means means Moulson, Bitz et al make a first class checking line?
did rosenberg run off with his cali vixen and forget about this thread?
Maybe this has been covered and I missed it, but after the McCutcheon goal, listening to the Cornell PA announcer in the background, it didn't sound like Arthur. Anyone?

I saw the puck moving back towards Moulson, and then Leggio wound up with the puck, so my guess is Moulson made contact with it, somehow. Maybe it hit off his body or a skate. It really was a 100% empty net -- Leggio was well off to the right side.
Rich, didn't you make it up to Ithaca for the game? Or you just going up Saturday like us? Ever hear of a sport called La Crosse? It might be worth driving up early to see how it's played right.
Remember to watch out for the joy buzzer.

It looked like he shot it, whiffed, and the puck took a weird bounce directly to Leggio's breadbasket.
I'm sure someone who was at the game can clarify it later.

I come back to the computer and see that the skating bear is back! Only saw it briefly skating around and waving...
Is that a new Zamboni or just a new paint job? And what's with the skating bears? I thought the athletic director feared they'd do something bad like mate, or take the fur off ... [edit] maybe Andy worried the threat to toss fish at a wrestling meet wasn't an idle threat and decided to back off.

The new Zamboni was debuted for Harvard. When we lost, it was debated whether to blow it up.
The bears being back is a surprise. But it was not the AD who had nixed it. It was that nobody wanted to crawl inside that rancid pelt for 12 minutes at a time, and I don't blame them.

Q 3 Colgate 0
so much for home ice
Bizarre and inexplicable period. We controlled the play territorily, but Leggio was excellent and Clarkson capitalized on the few chances they had. While we've clearly been the stronger team and you would have to like our chances based on the overall play, OT is such a crapshoot.
The Syracuse basketball game has gone final.

One gets the feeling that this OT will not be long.
Seminoff can't clear the zone and McKee tips wide a Dodge effort that should have gone in and then covers up on the wide angle try after the rebound. LGR!!!
Carefoot throws it at the net and gets the faceoff.

We're getting some excellent opportunities, but Clarkson is doing a solid job keeping us from getting grade A chances. And, Leggio continues to look strong. Clarkson's playing the classic "rope a dope" style -- hoping to capitalize on a mistake (and we've certainly made enough of those).

1-1 after the first period. We hustled to a 3-1 lead in the second period, only to let Clarkson tie it on 2 bad defensive plays, both of which had O'Byrne's fingerprints all over them!
There's now about 2 minutes left in the 1st OT.[/quote]
much appreciated, thanks :-)
No goal? Moulson hits post? Waved off?
1st OT ends with Moulson goal waved off due to not time remaining.
Too bad -- Moulson's goal called just after the buzzer :`(
I've seen this too many times before. I think I am going to quit sports. :-/
clucking Flarkson announcers didn't even describe what happened........just watched it themselves.
With 5 seconds, the puck went to the corner and it looked like the OT was over. But the puck was dug out and sent to Moulson near the circle in front of section B. Moulson fired a wrister that went in after the buzzer according to the ref but you can hear fans in the stands saying "Wow!! That was SOOOO close!" Sounds like the guys in the press box thought it was good...they are looking at the replay now.

You can hear them going over the replay in slow motion..."point 7, point 6, point 5" and "That's the puck with point 1 seconds!! That's a goal!!!" Fuck.
Guys reviewing the video tape says the goal was good!!
You could clearly hear a "There's the puck! At .1 seconds" in the background before they came back from break.
BTW, there is NO possible way the Ref actually knows what happened there. This is one time where video replay would be very nice.
To be honest, if I am the ref I am not going to call that a goal. Too important.
Yep. Their server's having trouble under the load, methinks.

Yeah, it's kind of funny... You don't normally hear this kind of thing over, say, the radio, but you can hear a bunch of guys standing around saying things like, "Oh, SHIT, I think it was good!!" "DUDE, watch this... I'll play it back, frame by frame..."

Coaching strategy for Cornell and/or Clarkson after the No Goal?
Do you ignore it? Play it up? I think both teams ignore it.

Cornell announcers and booth guys.
We aren't supposed to hear it, but all-access is fluky.
Refs out PLEASE DON'T THROW SHIT AT THEM!!
Wouldn't be shocked to see a call on Cornell from Hansen to "show who's boss" even though he didn't call anything all of the last OT ::rolleyes::
Definitely in, with .1 left, even maybe with .2 left.
But we're currently 7 in the Pairwise with the 3-2-1 bonus. ::rolleyes::
GAME ON.
LGR!
Leggio save on a Cam Abbott shot on a 2 on 1.
Tough call for the refs to make....
Pokulok shot, big save Leggio and no useful rebound.
[quote Jason L]it seemed like time expired, but that the buzzer went off late....[/quote]

SAWADA SAWADA SAWADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justice is done!
:-)
I got bumped off the Clarkson feed a while back as it filled up. Any updates on the time left in the 2nd OT?
Always seems to me like a bad thing when people stop posting about hits, chances, etc. Seems like we are feeling the pressure a bit...
Refs couldn't whistle that one off. Sawada in the second OT!
!!!!!
Hell yes! Barlow almost slides one in--off of the faceoff, Sawada uses his strength to pound in a goal. Sweet!
There is a God!
Sawada. Just put my Cornell hockey hat on. I'll put it on earlier tomorrow.
54-30 SOG in the good CU's favor.
Lets not make it so close tomorrow, please? ::help::

Hence the IF. They blew Clarkson away in game 1 of the '04 series, then folded and got prematurely buried. The Knights are a very solid team and could easily come back.
Not sure, but I believe that was the longest game in Lynah history.
[quote Rich S]description of gwg please?[/quote]
As best as I can remember...it looked like Clarkson won the faceoff but the puck went towards the net where Cornell was crashing hard. Sawada was able to muscle between the defenders and pounded home the puck. It happened very quickly, during which I was brooding about the Barlow miss.
so "well-deserved win"? deserved any more than the other team?
Yep. Still alive... Great game :). Emotional life's been tough of late, lab work grinds along at its own pace, and I've got a qualifying exam in less than two weeks, but the Red won! Almost snowed here a couple of times today.

We'll see when the archive becomes available. I thought Ray simply won it with a swipe right after the faceoff drop/scrum. If so, Leggio would never have had a chance -- too many legs.
[quote Rich S]so "well-deserved win"? deserved any more than the other team?[/quote]
I believe we had two goals waived off and we choked on three empty net attempts. Does that make it a well-deserved win for Cornell?

and a friggin' painful way to lose....to get outmuscled in front of your net.

Absolutely, Rich. Cornell dominated most aspects of the game and ought to have won in the first overtime. Obviously, you're not going to be sensible about it, but, well, yes, well deserved.
For the record, I'll take a completely undeserved win tomorrow night. Fat Mike will eat well tonight.
nope....not if they were not legitimate goals.

Not sensible? Gimme a break. If the goalie made 51 saves, one can say his team deserved to win. Why in the first OT? Did the ref screw cornell?

The Moulson goal was legitimate watch the replay
51 saves is all well and good, but it doesn't count in the end. 4 (or was it 6?) shots behind the goalie is all that matters. Sorry Rich, thats BS.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Everybody calm down. 51 saves means we had 55 shots on goal. So Leggio kept you in the game, but it also means Cornell had most of the chances.

[quote Rich S]It's poor form after you win to not tip your cap to the guy that gave you a run for your money in a pitched battle.[/quote]
To review, what everybody here has been saying is the following:
1) Cornell played better than Clarkson and deserved to win. Get. Over. It.
2) Clarkson played a great game and should be congratulated. If they play like that again tomorrow, it will be one hell of a game.
3) Leggio played his ass off and kept the Knights in the game, and should be goalie of the century.
I defy you to find an opposing message board anywhere that is more fair and gracious than that. What we are saying, in sum, is that Clarkson is a great program deserving of respect, and you're being an ass deserving of none. You've earned your rep, with years (literally) of trolling. There's a difference between Clarkson, which is cool, and you, which... well...
If you really want to persist, we can go another five years of laughing at you. We'll still be here, and likely we'll still be arguing whether Cornell are good winners and Clarkson are good losers. Lombardi had some words on that subject, too.

John, yes it does mean largely that. And thanks.
But "closer than you expected?" Many of the posters here this week expressed concern about this series and didn't sound like they expected a cakewalk.
I know that the Clarkson team and coaches felt coming in that they had a reasonable chance to win despite the fact that they were the underdog.
Sounds like this was another in the series of great games between the teams, something that you have always recognized which I take note of. Unfortunately, a few of your arrogant brethren don't see fit to acknowledge the efforts of the other team. Or need 30 minutes to get around to doing it.
Probably no Hot Truck for me tomorrow. IF I get up there, it's likely to be at the Clarkson pre-game gathering.

I don't think RichS is a psycho, but he definitely feels the need to take something important away from the Cornell fans.
When I want a neutral site where I can go to discuss college hockey rationally I go to USCHO. Sometimes, however, I just want to go someplace where I can extend the endorphin rush of a heroic win by gloating a little, wallow in the misery of unquestionably unjust officiating, and anticipate future glory. It adds a little bit of extra happiness to my life.
In the rational part of the world I know the wins aren't really heroic, the calls are just the rub of the green and usually even out, and there isn't anything particularly glorious about some kids with whom I have a very tenuous connection winning a hockey game. But gosh darn it, I have enough rational in my life already.
I don't see anything wrong with having someplace to just get a buzz on by saying the Big Red are the epitome of all that is good and heroic but RichS just seems to want to kill that buzz wherever it emerges.
Well, I discovered tonight that he is a teacher. I have a lot of teachers in my family and I've seen what it does to them. So I'll just go back and forth between being furious he's destroying my oasis and feeling sympathy for him as he's simply the product of his tortured environment.

I don't think anyone's comments took into accounts only one team's efforts in tonights victory. But if you say there were slanted towards Cornell... I'd say, big freakin' duh.
And if anyone's did only account for Cornell's efforts, you can rest assured they don't speak for the rest of us, and its not worth getting your feathers all ruffled over.

I understand your feelings about wanting to feel good and all, really. I can identify.
I'm never trying to take away your buzz or have you feel less good about your victories or team but a bit more balanced perspective about how things went or how the ref screwed your team would be good. To not acknowledge another team's efforts, even marginally and how they affected your own team's performance, sorry I disagree with that.

And on USCHO or some other neutral site your feelings would be appropriate. But asking people on eLynah to be balanced and fair is like asking the fans at physical Lynah to chant "It's All Your Fault" at McKee after a Clarkson goal.

You certainly won't find a balanced perspective on the roundtable. Nothing but a healthy dislike for Cornell, and plenty of one-sided comments. Nothing neutral about it. If you can go there, and read that without problem, why would you expect us to be all sunshine and rainbows about Clarkson over here??

If you really believe this, then why don't you hold the Round Table or the Clarkson Hockey blog to the same standard?

Gee, did someone blow my cover as a teacher? ::twitch:: It has been only in the past few years and only part time after many years in corporate accounting and finance. Now THAT's a tortured environment.

D'oh! I realized I misread Techer as Teacher.
Nevermind :-D

Actually, you won't even find much of a dislike for Cornell on the roundtable. You actually won't find much of anything. Pretty sad - it used to be a vibrant community, but there only seem to be about 4 regular contributors these days.
FWIW, I did happen to notice that most of the 2 posts about the actual game focused on, gasp, Clarkson players. I think it's pretty disrespectful for them not to acknowledge the efforts their opponents. I think I'll go berate them for it. ::rolleyes::
