(Watching the bleeping webcast from afar) If every time you lose a connection and have to watch the bleeping Loch Ness monster ad before reconnecting to Live Action, there are gonna be some endangered CSTV employees if we learn their home addresses. I think eLynah faithful will do a beter job tracking than the military did to Osama. And for good reason: the stakes are higher.

Your link indicates you've got FIOS. [Phone company fiber optic to your door.] So is it blazing fast watching the video ... or it still sucks? I notice the only choice with the webcast video is a tiny window, too small, or else full screen, and no reasonable way to both watch and chat here ... other than what I'm doing, using two computers.

i got FIOS too....its awesome  15/2mbps for $45/month.  I have it streaming on my laptop fullscreen, and typing on my desktop.

About 3 minutes into the season and the Cornell announcers say for the first time of the 2006-07 seasons that a penalty against Cornell looks weak. They were right this time - it's an RM being sequestered.

Comcast doubled or tripled its speed. It's theoretical or 3 am and no-one's-online speed I think. When you neede a big download, Comcast still chokes worse than the Big Red gridders in Bruno Town.

The one reason to watch in Windows last year was that I could S-Video-to-RCA it into my TV, and WMP did this cool thing where the video went full-screen on the TV, and I could put other windows on top of it on the laptop.  Something lese the Flash Monkeys at CSTV took away from us. ::cuss::

Freshmen getting lots of playing time.  Nash at the point a lot during power plays (strange seeing a defenseman wearing 24).

[jaybert]

lots of opportunities...unable to convert.

I just got back from the game (had to leave after the 1st period so I could sit around the Schwartz at rehearsal and wait for my scene to come up - hopefully I'll make it back for the tail end of the game). RMU wasn't playing especially well, though their goalie just barely stopped some good shots. Unfortunately, WE weren't playing especially well either. The passing in particular was pretty poor, with many misses. A lot of our players didn't seem to be aware of where the puck was even when they were stepping all over it, and were instead looking around for it. This was especially noticeable during the 5 on 3 powerplay in which we kept passing and fumbling around and passing and fumbling around some more but never taking a shot until RMU was back to full strength.

If this is our team for the season, I'm pretty worried. We're lucky RMU didn't seem to have a strong offense, or they'd really be up right now. Hopefully though this game can serve as a wakeup call?

Can someone tell me the history of RMU? Is their team new to D1 hockey, or just new to our league? Are they generally considered good, bad, or mediocre? To be honest, I don't even know where RMU is.

As a side note - I really enjoyed the "Ro-Mo SUCKS" cheer that was getting started. Calling them Ro-Mo just has a nice derogatory feel to it
