Cornell vs. Clarkson, game 1 postgame

[canuck89]

Regardless if it was a penalty or not, Cayer streaked to the net after the whistle and Abbott took care of that.  Should be coincidentals in my book.  The goalie should be offered some protection by the rules (and is) and Cayer was flying in long after the play was stopped.

[quote KP '06][quote jtwcornell91][quote action jackson]Either way, our fans were out of line throwing crap on the ice...it's a bad habit that has to stop.  We don't want to be that kind of crowd.[/quote]

Hear, hear.  That shit has got to stop.[/quote]

Did anyone get tossed from the rink for throwing stuff?

... 'cause they should have.[/quote]

No one in E got tossed that I saw, though at least three people threw stuff.  I screamed at each of them and told them that throwing things these days is NOT a good idea, in light of the recent heavy enforcement of the throwing rules.  Convinced at least one kid not to throw his waterbottle, and hopefully convinced some others not to do it again.

I was actually surprised to see us play as well as we did, for several reasons:
1. We were adding several guys back into the mix who were previously injured, so it was definitely an adjustment.
2. We had a week out of competition.  Schafer played it up as an opportunity to rest, but I think to some extent, no matter how hard you practice it doesn't really compare to the effort put forth in a real game.
3. Just because we had a week out of competition and an extra day off practice doesn't really mean the players got to relax.  Hello, prelim week!

All right, time for me to get some of my own studying done for a little while before the game... LET'S GO RED!

Aaaah, now I understand why we needed more than one goal in overtime to win:
According to the Official Cornell Athletics Website, Sawada's goal apprently wasn't needed for the Clarkson game and so  they instead used it to beat Dartmouth on the same night:

(since they will probably fix it soon here is what the headline said)

Big Red back in action for second game of ECAC Quarterfinal tomorrow night

I guess it was a late night at the sports desk.

We must certainly have gotten a PWR boost from beating two TUC simultaneously.

Out of curiosity, I missed the beginning of the first OT and didn't see why the first Schroedinger's goal was disallowed. Anything interesting or just the standard puck was already blown dead sort of thing?

Play was already blown dead, basically

Roger. Thanks.

[quote schoaff][quote Rich S][quote DeltaOne81][Q]Bill's review was highly respectful of Clarkson.

Great game by both teams tonight.[/Q]

r board. Or just don't come here.[/quote]

"Leggio deserves credit for making 50 saves. We make ECAC goalie of the week out of a lot of goalies."


The above was the only comment in Bill's review that I commented on.  Hardly "highly respectful."

Greg made the other statement, right?  Or was it John.  Fine.

I don't expect out and out praise for the opponent here or on any forum.  But to not recognize the oponent's efforts in a game that went to 2 OTs is taking a very narrow view.  The implication is that cornell had to go to 2 OTs only because of their own occasional poor play.  That's silly.

Please don't lecture me about my behavior here.  Clean up your own house first.  When inaccurate or narrow-minded statements are made, I'll call you on it.  If you want to throw stones at me, be prepared to catch a few coming back.

Even though on paper it looks like he had a great game making 50 saves, watching the play gave a different impression. If I'm the Clarkson coach he doesn't start tonight.

Now, take this all with a grain of salt not just because I'm a Cornell Fan but because the camera work last night left a bit to be desired. I suspect I only saw 2 out of every 3 shots that reached the Clarkson net.[/quote]

Well, good thing for Clarkson they didn't pay any attention to me. Thought Leggio played much better tonight.
