Cornell 4 Robert Morris 1

[billhoward]

Looks as if the Big Red is picking up where it left off six months ago. Lots of Cornell players buzzing around the ice, setting up, setting even better on PP, not a lot of shots, fewer goals, and so if the game was decided on style points like boxing, Cornell would be ahead. OK, half a game, one goal for the Big Red against a mediocre opponent.

Also nice to see CSTV kept its Freeze the Picture algorithm active. When too many pixels change in a hurry, say on a breakway, CSTV conserves Internet electron energy by halting all pixel activity for 20 or 30 seconds.

The goal: Barlow skating down right wing centered right in front to Kennedy coming down the middle

[quote las224]If this is our team for the season, I'm pretty worried.[/quote]

Relax. Its a young team and its the first game. They have a lot of learning to do and leadership to gain. If you're expecting us to go tearing through the conference and make the FF, you're quite likely to be sorely disappointed.

Enjoy watching the team learn and grow this year. And to learn and grow, they gotta start somewhere.

And gotta love the shots so far.

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.

They are pretty new to D1. They are not new to our league - assuming you mean conference - because they are not in it at all. They are in the CHA.

They're not particularly good. RMU is outside Pittsburgh.

For me, the picture gets blurry and you lose any and all ideas of what's going on, but it doesn't freeze.  My only complaints tonight are missing the pre-game (but they started before the game, so they're better than last year) and the incessent changing of shots, most of which are too zoomed in - leading directly to the blurry picture.

From the bird's eye view of CSTV (including one funky camera angle that's tilted like a Batman lair), Blake Gallagher looks like one helluva player.

Interpolate out to three periods and you've got 48 shots and 3 goals for Cornell, 18 shots and 0 goals for Ro-Mo. Seem a likely outcome?

If so, the shots allowed per 60 [minutes] sounds real good. But if you need close to 50 shots to put 3 goals past a sub-.500 team, you've got some challenges on offense. Plus ca change.

No matter what, it's good to see hockey under way again. Go, Red. [Edit] And the season is barely 40 minutes old for a very young team. They can only get better.

Fair enough I suppose I'm just an over-anxious senior who would love a Frozen Four year, even though I realize chances are slim to none of that happening.

I did mean conference - didn't know they were in the CHA. Thanks for the clarification

RMU makes it 2-1

Gonna be tough for Davenport to match Leneveu's / McKee's GAA numbers.

I like the mesmerized looking frosh right in front of the camera on the crowd shots.
