Frozen Four

[ben03]

make that the second time someone scored on a minnesota PP in their last two games.

edit: minny PP goal

[oceanst41]

I'm embarassed for myself for not catching that - I think I was too excited when we scored to remember we were even shorthanded

and now we've gone from just Cornell scoring on Minny powerplay to one for NoDak and two for the Goofers

[ben03]

2 Minny PP goals ...

Hey, now they're even on their own PP over the last two games.  Impressive.

anyone else hear what would seem to be drums during play??? i thought this was against NC$$ rules ::nut::  ::screwy::

[oceanst41]

No cowbell's are against the rules not Minny's drums ;-)

North Dakota seems like they would be a very good match up for Cornell if we made it there.  North Dakota I think has a little more team speed then us but they definitely play a similar style to us.  It is amazing how Minnesota looks so different when playing on normal ice.

allow me to rephrase ... CORNELL COWBELL'S[/B] are against the rules

[redice]

Actually, there were at least two cowbells in the arena for the Frozen Four semifinal games.    One was played by Denver (non-band) people.   I don't know who had the other one.    Since the arena rules expressly forbid cowbells, I was surprised to see them.   Ya gotta love those goofers!!!

The drums are NoDak's. They play them incessantly... would not have been allowed in MN or Lynah for sure (The MN director would kill if a goph bandie did that).

On a random note: that long pass by the NoDak defenseman during the MN shift by NoDak was a thing of beauty. :-O

CC and Minny looked exceptionally *horrible* in defeat last night -- among the worst F4 performances I can think of (though nobody may ever top Colgate's nervous collapse in the '90 F).  Maybe this is what happens when you get teams that really know each other?  We'll see Saturday -- if there's another blowout, this is one of the worst tournies ever, right down there with some of the routfests of the '50's.  ::yark::

No, no, you don't understand. Last year's 1-0 was a snoozefest. If the game is high scoring, it *has* to be exciting! ::rolleyes::

Especially when you got to see it in replay from behind the defenseman.  Gives you some perspective on how difficult it must be to really "see" the whole ice sheet for long passes like that.

That was the arena's doing.  The really weird thing is that they didn't pipe in music after the goals in that game, just the siren, and with no band there for either school (I bet that HS band that played for Mercyhurst was available ::rolleyes:: ) it felt more like an air raid than a goal celebration.
