Quote from: dbilmesA shorthanded Cornell team lost a tough game to No. 1 ranked Ohio State Saturday, 4-3. Due to injuries, Cornell only played four defensemen, and one of our best players, Lily Delianedis, was serving a one-game suspension for an illegal hit in Cornell's last game. Two of our best defensemen, Rory Guilday and Ashley Messier, were out with injuries and it sounds like they won't be back any time soon. Delianedis is our third-leading scorer and she and Messier both have a plus-minus of plus-11. Even so, Cornell played Ohio State tough. OSU took a 2-goal lead and Cornell kept fighting back to cut the lead to one, including an extra-man goal with just over a minute remaining. Cornell had some bad luck on OSU's fourth goal, which came during an OSU powerplay. There was a loose puck in the crease, and one of our players went to clear it just as our goalie came out to cover it up and the puck ended up deflecting off our goalie into the goal for an "own goal."
The teams play a rematch today at 3 p.m. One thing about this year's team is that it never gives up.

Guilday is with Team USA on the West Coast right now but didn't play a few nights ago in Las Vegas, so I wonder what the deal there is. I guess we'll see if she plays Monday in LA.

Per Doug Derraugh in our pre-game visit yesterday, injured at Team USA camp and expected to be out a while.

Quote from: jkahnThere's a 3rd goalie whose name is cut off on the prior posts, Andrew Oke (Okie or Oak?).  
Keopple's older sister plays for Princeton, so perhaps Arthur, Grady, or Jason can enlighten us on pronunciation.  On Keopple's twitter and instagram pages, he uses Remi, so that seems easy enough to pronounce.  They are playing at 10 EDT tonight.  In the pre-tournament game a couple of days ago, Oke played the first 2 periods and Remi played the 3rd, stopping 6 of 7 shots.

Des Moines broadcaster gives us "Kepple"...also uses full first name in his call (at least for the brief time I checked out the video highlights from a late April 2022 game).

Not NHL (and don't think I've seen it here), but Kyle Betts signed an ATO with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) last Wednesday.

Still awaiting his pro debut as he did not skate in either of the team's games this weekend.

Quote from: rediceThe ESPN+ broadcast is lousy today.  Audio is up&down in level & video comes & goes.  Tbey suck today!!!!

I just called ESPN+....   They disconnected my call.  I really didn't expect much from them.  And they delivered!  They clearly do not have their "A" team in LP.

It's the Clarkson production team and announcers. Wouldn't call myself an eLynah member, but I'm here...and the lone "Red" during the anthem was VERY noticeable!!! LOL

Quote from: Scersk '97If hockey tournament attendance continues, could the Glens Falls Arena, now Cool Insuring Arena (cap. 4806) be in play? Especially if leagues favor arenas and tournaments with odd names. Beef O'Brady Bowl is about as bad as it gets.

Having seen this facility from the dressing room up many times on visits with the Binghamton Senators, I can't see a potential move here being viable (dependent upon what one finds most ideal as a visiting team). Aging facility (constructed around the same time as Herb Brooks Arena) that has seen some upgrades, but not sure that would be enough to warrant a move. Capacity is ideal for an ECAC tournament that seems to struggle to come close to a full house in LP unless you get Cornell/Clarkson/SLU/random 4th team in a given year...atmosphere potential at Cool Insuring Arena would be attractive, but dressing room facilities would be a huge red flag. Room for AHL visitors back in the day was spartan (and that's being kind) and I'm not sure they have four adequate spaces to host teams for the semifinals.

Not totally unbiased here but Binghamton, with an aesthetically nicer facility with similar capacity would be a pretty good fan experience. But as is the case with smaller venues, dressing room amenities fall short of the travel party requirements both in space and modern feel.

Quote from: TrotskyAt Matthews at 2 today and tomorrow.  NU (14-2-1, 7 shut outs!) is #3 in the country.  Big Red (4-5-1) lost 4-0 at home to #4 Q, so this will likely not go well.

Great game thru two periods at 2-2, but the video feed vanished into thin air...

Quote from: facemadeforradioSame dropouts here via the TuneIn radio app. Ditching that feed for the WHCU feed here for the third period.

Nope...audio just went to random commercial drop in the middle of a rush on this app as well.

Gonna suffer with the BU crew the rest of the way.

Same dropouts here via the TuneIn radio app. Ditching that feed for the WHCU feed here for the third period.

Same here. Synced up Jason with the video, but random commercial drops screw that up. FWIW, this happened to me on the TuneIn app. Guessing it's an app intrusion and it has nothing to do with over-the-air feed locally in Ithaca.

After two periods of this, going with a different source for WHCU radio feed for the third period.

I was listening for Davy in 3 after the 10th goal, and it didn't sound like it.  Has the band forgotten about that (no lacrosse since the current seniors were freshmen), or was it just too hard to hear on the broadcast?

Same. It didn't happen. Not complaining. I'll be happy with whatever they play if we score 10+.
I'll add that Arthur was on his game with some nice vocal change in announcing that expressed the specialness as the score got larger and with the Andreev hatty.

I think they also neglected the 8-goal cheer. (Though I remember that cheer ending with "gee, that sucks" or something like that.

Don't recall bringing up Weder...though I did mention that the students were chanting "We want Miller" (or so I perceived with my 30+ year broadcast-impaired hearing) for RPI back-up Brett Miller after the score was well out of hand. Though like my hearing, my memory could be going as well and I might have said "Weder".

While I fully understand and respect the spectator/fan viewpoint, being somewhat privy to the production side of the scoreboard/ESPN+ video, the reality of it, best I can tell, is that the videoboard feed is the ESPN+ broadcast...same tech team sending their work in-house and streaming on-line. I could be wrong as I'm not watching the videoboard during play, but periodic glances to my monitor and the videoboard in my peripheral seem to mirror each other for live action. Thus, there isn't a separate video replay component dedicated to the in-house videoboard. The only separation occurs with end-of-period stats (which may or not be hit or miss as far as appearing after each period, but I do remember noticing them in both intermissions last night) and other pre-produced slides, "noise" graphics or videos (such as the hype video before the team takes the ice) that appear on the videoboard and are controlled and selected by the operator to the right of me in the press box.

With regard to penalty times being posted on the board, I've been on the call for all but two games since the videoboards were installed and I honestly cannot think of one instance where the penalty time has not been posted for all to see. That's my first "go-to" to confirm I had the correct person going to the penalty box, especially for the visitors on the far side of the ice from me. Could the font be bigger? Certainly, but it serves its purpose as is.

As for SOG, I'm uncertain of the ability to post a running total on the videoboard, but it wouldn't seem to be a stretch to have a continual display at the very least of the end-of-period shot totals announced in-house and shown briefly on the intermission stat slide. The on-line live stats shots tracking is updated in real time, but the ability as to why that cannot be a live time videoboard feature is unknown to me. Maybe system limitations or lack of manpower.

And, that does bring me to my final point. There may be a misconception that the Cornell video production team (ESPN+ and the in-house videoboard...one in the same) is a highly staffed outfit with paid employees. The truth is that there are two director/producers who are university employees plus myself calling the game (as it relates to hockey) and I'm paid on a per game basis. The balance (camera people, replay deck operators, announcers for "minor" sports, etc.) are students looking for experience. Not making excuses...just giving some insight to the process. As for the two director/producers, they're responsible for getting every event up and running on ESPN+ that originates from the Cornell campus and on some days/nights, I don't know how their heads don't explode. Between the tech side of it and finding available bodies to fill the slots, it's the job they both signed up for, but at times it thankless nevertheless.

Forgive my long windedness (hey, it's what I do...) as the OP was about the videoboard, but it ties into the ESPN+ streaming side of it as well. While some insight may give some perspective, I understand it's not likely to curb the dissatisfaction of some.
