Momentum for Brown & Yale

[redice]

I believe there was a slight rule change relative to the goal judges.   But do not recall the specifics.   Of course, the referees have always had the ultimate say.   But, there was some subtle change.   Can someone help me here?

Additionally, goal judges are no longer required for NCAA games and will only be recommended.

Still very lame compared to the fight at the end of Union @ RPI (link in the top entry of the "Too many refs in section 7" thread) where NO DQs were assessed.  Far worse fight under almost identical circumstances.

What an intriguing game, especially the shattered glass at the red line on a PK clearing shot by Kirill Gotovets from deep in our zone. Glass that was not replaced. It was an odd size at the Cornell bench that had padding; I trust Cornell keeps spares in all sizes or will cut one for Yale. It was also interesting to walk up to the ticket window at 6:30 and have a choice of sections to sit or stand in.

It was good to see Cole Bardreau back and the first line looks pretty powerful. The power play was just 1x6 (scored on first attempt then 0x5) but we did a good job to give Brown only 3 PP opportunities. So Cornell either played disciplined hockey for the first 59:55 or Brown was a team you could push around without having to resort to holding or cross-checking. But then there was the last 5 seconds of the game with play right at the Brown bench and some shoving before the whistle and I was thinking, uh-oh, bad place for the game to wind down with the possibility of bench players taunting Cornell. If the box score is right  Brown's Garnet Hathaway (either a good WASP names or a porn star name using a gem or your first pet and your street) pulled a facemask, and Craig Buckles, who got the first goal and already had a third period minor, retaliated, with Hathaway ejected from the game just ended and Buckles ejected with a DQ for tonight's Yale game.

This the first game I saw in person at Lynah this year (you, ah, see stuff you sometimes miss watching Redcast) and even if the score was 5-1, the most noticeable takeaway was how many openings Cornell inadvertently offered Brown near the Cornell goal: the missed check in the slot and the Brown skater slides around for an unimpeded shot at Iles (saved), the juicy rebound that wasn't cleared, Iles too far out of the net. Brown capitalized on none of those but we'll need better than luck against Yale. The upsides included the play of the first line, the power play just not on all 6 PPs, and opportunism. The best example was the second Cornell goal: Brown had an odd-man rush, the puck took quirky bounce, Bardreau got it and passed to Joakim Ryan who hit the pipe, and Bardreau was in the right place to knock in the rebound.

I think Hagwell seeing the game live in Troy may have been the reason Buckles got the DQ.

Several of the goals were on counter-attack.  There was a lot of great opportunistic play in front of the Brown goalie (this may say as much about the Brown D as our O).  Watching the replay today I was very impressed.

The students get a bit of a break on the penalty shot.  They did stop the moronic bend over cheer (just) as the Brown skater began to move, and there was a brief "An-dy-I-les" cheer during the run-up to the shot.  Not their finest moment, but not atrocious.

I'm much more worried about all the empty seats.

Really like Ferlin on the point.

Good call!

You ten ten to get a Game DQ when you throw a punch and hit the official right in the head
