cornell 3 - Quinnipiac - 2 in OT

[Josh '99]

Andy Iles played a great game.

I'm not entirely sure I agree.  I hate to denigrate, but I think he was bailed out by Q shooting wide of a couple of open nets.  Made some freshman mistakes, but then, he's a freshman, and he'll stop making them soon enough.

There was clearly a missed open net early in the second period.  I didn't see the whole game but thought he made a few solid saves in the first period to keep us in the game.  I'm not a goalie coach, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Did we really not have any powerplays? When was the last time that happened?

No penalties called for us, but there were certainly some questionable moments. At least two hits that looked very much like boarding in the second period left uncalled. There was also a slash, exactly like the one called against Princeton the night before, that drew no penalty. Still encouraging that Cornell could score three at even-strength.

Not sure if anyone here would have an answer for this, but it seemed questionable to me. We were sitting right next to the glass in the Cornell attacking zone (what would be section A in Lynah), and had a pretty good view of a hit that drew a penalty against Cornell. It looked a little questionable, and the referee in the zone clearly warned Devin but was prepared not to call it. Despite this, the referee outside the zone, who clearly had a worse view than the one right next to the play, called a penalty. Do referees normally consider which official has the better view in making calls? Is it unusual for the official outside the zone to call a minor when the one inside is prepared to let it go, and both have a view of the play?

That slash was a terrible non-call - I guess probably influenced by the game situation, with Quinnipiac trailing by a goal and, what, three minutes or so left in the game?
