Princeton Post-game

[andyw2100]

For what it's worth, regarding the fourth Princeton goal, one of the television commentators was certain that the puck had really "knuckled", making it much less of an easy save for Scrivens. The internet feed wasn't good enough for me to be able to see that at all.

I noticed quite a few of our bandies were sitting in the downstairs section- did they restrict them from playing?

Yes, Baker had a limit on the number of instruments that a visiting band could play.

But apparently no ban on the Princeton band's playing of their percussion instruments while time was in. Yes, I know it was just their drumsticks and banging on the rims of their drums (yes, I know there's a two-word phrase for it, but I figure I'll avoid it here so as to not take this thread into the gutter), but still...

I'll let you guys discuss the play but here's my opinion of the fans at Princeton: bad.

Not to mention downright assholish. Some guy all of a sudden, from out of nowhere, started shit with me with a few minutes to go. Thanks to Mitch and Novikoff, et al., for having my back and shouting the guy down.

I was standing next to Mitch but couldn't quite tell what was happening during all the screaming and Mitch telling the guy that he was going to die from cirrhosis of the liver at age 60.  

Someone mentioned that the dude complained about the Cornell fans being "too rowdy"?  Or was he just trying to rub the win in our faces?

I figure if the refs/ushers are never going to do anything about it when Clarkson's band does it in OUR rink, there's little hope for another team's band suffering consequences when they do it in their own home rink.

On that subject, has anyone ever witnessed a penalty given to a team for their band sounding off during play?  Do I recall that possibly happening during a playoff game against Clarkson?

Is it really the ushers' responsibility to initiate enforcement?    As someone who has been an usher at Lynah (but not in Section O), I might be annoyed by the visiting team's band playing during action.  But, I don't believe I would have taken it upon myself to quiet them.

OTOH, if the on-ice officials directed the staff to do it, I would then be more than happy to silence or remove them.

Funny story...Elie and I ran into the very same guy at Triumph Brewing Company after the game and he tried to start stuff again.

Oddly enough (considering that Princeton has no fans), that seems to happen with pretty high frequency at games there.

Probably was some random Devils or Flyers toughguy fan looking to watch hockey for cheap.

I agree.   Why the hell doesn't Steve Waghell do somerthing about it?  The asses from Potsdam were trying to juice up their moribund team in Troy on Saturday with the drums droning on during play.

Does it only bother Cornell fans?  Does the noise bother the players?

I was more amazed at the language that the clarkson band used and didnt seem to be getting in trouble for.. much worse than the stuff I see cornell fans getting tossed by the ushers for using, considering its an organized cheer and not some random person does that make it more allowable..  seem ruff em up was converted to stop kids from being tossed.. didnt seem to be an issue for clarkson to use those types or words.

I don't think Princeton ushers care that much about hockey. I used the "you a**hole" line a couple of times and no one said anything.

What ushers?  They let you in the door, and then you're on your own.  There are no ushers.

Regarding the double minor, I cpould not see the infraction as it was along the boards on our side.  What I saw was after the whistle Greening went over to the ref, said something, then skated away.  I suspect he was just confirming that there was no penalty on us.  The Princeton player, however, was being pretty pissy and was refusing to go to the box.  The refs kept trying to restrain him and push him away from the Cornell bench but he kept trying to get back over there.  After a minute or so, I saw the ref signal an unsportmanlike conduct penalty towards the bench.  It was later announced as "Bench minor - unsportsmanlike conduct" but I have no idea what Gadowsky did or said.
