That tie hurts my soul, especially after watching Jacome undress Galadja at the end of the 2nd just to whang one off the crossbar.

Refresh the page. It did that to me for a second and refreshing fixed it.

Quality seems to have improved from a couple weeks ago. Allow me to apologize for Mike in advance - he's not the worst when it comes to homerism, but he's far from the objectivity level of Bob Ahfeld. We all miss Bob.

Quote from: BigRedHockeyFanGotta wonder how many Clarkson players are hurting.  They have slacked off, starting with the Harvard tie.

Per Casey Jones, the Knights have had similar illness issues that Cornell has had the last couple weeks. I can say from personal experience that the flu has run rampant through Potsdam. A large contingent of alumni were up for the Brown/Yale weekend, half of us got the flu including me. I'm still shaking it off two weeks later, and it's a brutal one. The team was hit with it a couple weeks prior, so hopefully they were able to have a full week of practice this week and start getting back on track. The fatigue at the end of the weekend the last 3 weeks has been noticeable, and it wasn't like that at any point in the first semester.

Which post?

the one where you said someone threw a water bottle at you in the parking garage after Clarkson won game 2 in 2004

Actually, that wasn't me. That was one of the other posters admitting to doing the throwing... But it wasn't at me.

As for the shot totals, going only by the radio call, Cornell didn't even try to generate offense except as counterpunch breakaways. A dubious strategy until the clock struck zero at which point it became brilliant, then the clock was reset to .9 seconds and then less than a second later it became brilliant again.

Which post?

Even four might not be enough for these two.

That series was Leggio's coming out party. He was SUPERB both games, over 100 saves for the weekend, and then spent the next two years being a top goalie in the league.

I agree with Jim. This video makes it look like a very deliberate headshot.

Hit from another angle.

Quote from: daredevilcuSince a game misconduct was not issued, the proper remedy is to issue a one-game suspension.

This is the only part that I don't buy. With 1:40 left in the game, a GM is pretty much the same as a minor. I think the league suspended her for a game because they thought she deserved a one game suspension. It's not much more complicated than that.

Maybe, but I also think that if this were the beginning of the 2nd period and a 5+game was the call on the ice, you wouldn't see the suspension.

Nobody young, dumb and drunk enough to be a threat drove to the game.

The changes to "The Line" I think had a lot to do with it.

I'm saying the parking garage is all townies. The students walk.

I was a student in 2004, drove to the parking garage sober, and may have thrown a water bottle at some CCT students after game 3.  Sorry if that was you, daredevilcu.  I was not in a right mind.

Haha, it wasn't me. I didn't go to game 3.

Basically what the league is saying with the DQ is this:

The hit was illegal.

The call on the ice was insufficient and should have been a major penalty with at least a game misconduct, but more likely a game disqualification due to the time of the infraction and nature of the play.

Since a game misconduct was not issued, the proper remedy is to issue a one-game suspension.

If you don't agree that the hit deserved a misconduct/DQ, that's the only thing there is to talk about. If the league felt that was the right call, they have taken the appropriate steps to remedy it. The only thing they haven't done is given a clear public explanation of the decision, which everyone always hates.

Game 2 of the 2004 series was my first ever introduction to playoff hockey, and it was an incredible game to be at. Nickerson not fighting Varteressian in game 1 was the key to the whole series.

This is going to be one hell of a series. The teams match up well, play similar games, and although this is cliche I think it's going to come down to who wants it most. Cornell has had their system and consistency pay off for them in the regular season games, working back from two third-period deficits for ties. Clarkson has to have two things to win: killer instinct and consistent defense. We have to be able to put Cornell away. 1-2 goal leads aren't going to do it, because if games go to overtime, Cornell's endurance and play style will wear us out. We don't have enough power in the corners to stay with them physically for 4 periods of hockey a night, and I think we all saw that as the team wore down in the 3rd period to give up the leads this season.

Clarkson needs to score early and get out to 2-3 goal leads if at all possible, and hang on for dear life. We're playing great and our seniors have showed UP the last two weekends (10 points each for Josephs and deHaas in the last 3 games?!?!?) and if that continues, we have a strong shot at Lake Placid. If they regress to the mean, we're in trouble.
