Cornell 4 at Dartmouth 1 postgame

[oceanst41]

Thanks Rita for the date, so 11/10 on that game.

I believe it was NoDak's Kaip took a run at a Wisconsin player who was locked up in the corner with another player digging for the puck. His head was down so this looked pretty bad, though no penalty was called. NoDak got the puck and skated out, when Wisconsin's Turris(?) slashed Kaip as he skated away. This drew the haymaker back at Turris, and you can gather from there how the rest of it went down. There was video up on USCHO for those interested in seeing it.

YouTube - Sorry not Riley Nash's goal

In related news NoDak's Finely also took a cheap shot on Bucky the Badger, someone tell the skating bears to look out.

[quote oceanst41]I figured as much. In the WCHA game I mentioned above the fight started because a slash, which resulted in a haymaker being thrown back at the offending Badger. From there all of the skaters were paired up with someone with at least two of the pairings throwing punches.[/quote]

But it's OK, because in the WCHA, they only play "pretty hockey" with speed, skill, and pirouettes, so that couldn't possibly be a penalty.  Unlike the thuggery in the ECAC, which is basically a cross between sumo wrestling and Ultimate Fighting.

[quote LaJollaRed]Interesting: I wonder if anyone else noticed that Greening left the bench to join the fight, but the team screamed at him to come back. He stopped, seemed to think about it for a second, then sprinted back to the bench. Did anyone else see that?[/quote]

Was this at the start of the fight or later on?  I noticed later on that one of the Cornell players left the bench area when one of the Dartmouth players on the ice near the red line looked to be moving towards the Krueger(?) pairing (probably to try to break it up from the body language, but who knows) and as soon as that player reversed his direction so the Cornell player -- I think it was Greening.  Is that what you guys are talking about?

[quote Jim Hyla]Once we flipped the puck, with a high stick, out of our defensive zone (I don't remember who) and they called D'mouth for a high stick and moved the face off down to our offensive end, as if D'mouth did it. Then for some reason they put it outside our offensive red line. Anybody got an explanation? I, and others, thought D'mouth got screwed.[/quote]

It seemed like they realized that they got the call wrong originally (it was clearly a Cornell high-stick) and had to make it a neutral zone drop.  But for some reason I thought that if it was a bad call it was supposed to go to the center faceoff circle?

Isn't this a helpful post... all questions, no answers!  Sorry!

I spoke to Colin today and he said that Dartmouth had seven guys in scrum to Cornell's five.  He also definitely regretted stepping off the bench (and yes he was called back) because if he had even touched a Dartmouth player, he could have received a DQ.

That said, the whole fight happened as a result of a Dartmouth player (I don't remember if it was Gaudet or Smith) cheap shotting (edit) Gallagher behind the play with under a minute to play.  Krueger went after the guy, but no penatlies resulted.  Then as time expired on the game, Nicholls gave a Dartmouth player an extra shove into the boards.

I don't think Justin should have been given DQ, especially since he didn't drop his gloves while the Dartmouth player did.  As for Scali's scuffle, both players lost their sticks, gloves, and helmets.

Shame they won't play at MSG...for them.  As Ari pointed out, with Mugford back, and with the hopeful return of Nash, the team won't be hurt too badly.

I'm nearly certain it was Gallagher, not Nicholls.

Yes, that's when Greening went out.
And yes, that's what confused me as well. I thought the worst would be a face off at center ice, not at the blue line.

How in the world were there no DQs given out for that?  People were even taking swings at each other with their sticks still in their hands.

Probably because it was a prettier style of fight than what we produce over here in the ECAC. ;-)
