Video feed's up almost a half hour early. Athletics must be negotiating a new contract with CSTV.

Hold out until Spring, Andy.

Gametracker: "Stay tuned for kickoff!"

Glover, Milo, and Scali not showing in the line chart.

Romano's goal sounded pretty -- it was out of frame.  Tony was in on a bunch of good chances for an interval +/- a couple minutes around the goal.  Other than that, Bitzy had one good one-timer from the right circle, Carefoot had a couple good rushes, and that was about it.

Davenport wasn't tested.  Or rather, the couple times he was, he lucked out.  Once the puck slid agonizingly through him and just wide of the right post.  During Yale's brief (and only) period of protracted pressure, Davenport didn't appear to be well-positioned but Yale just never got control to get a shot.

Gametracker has shots at just 5-3, Yale.  Sounds about right.  Cornell had 2.5 powerplays and still looked horrible.

GOAL BITZ on the PP  ::banana::

Big goal to erase any Yale momentum after the saved penalty shot

Come on Greg, quit pulling my leg.  There's no way we scored a powerplay goal, let alone off of Bitz's stick with an assist by McCutcheon!

It was my lame joke on the chat, but I think the goal was credited to Leadership, assisted by Chemistry and Authority.

Did anyone notice that gametracker put up a goal for Romano to make it 2-1? Must be a mistake with his penalty shot. Was he close to scoring?

[Trotsky]

Cornell didn't do very much for the first 13 or 14 minutes of the second period, but they made up for it with a splendid final 5.  Yale's tying goal was, again, missed by the CSTV cameras -- sounds like it was from the high slot or outside the circle and just happened to find net.

Topher nearly stuffed one in on a scrum, which led directly to the penalty shot.  Romano put it right into Richards as Cornell preserves its 20 year streak of not only not having a penalty shot goal, but not even being close.

But seconds later, Bitz shoveled in the rebound of a McCutcheon shot.  Topher nearly had the insurance goal a few seconds later, but grazed the outside of the post.

Yale did very little in the period, although the two freshmen Arcobella and Backman did distinguish themselves -- they'll help the Eli improve.

Shots in the second were 12-6, Cornell.  The Red took a lot of periphery shots, but hey, something will eventually go in.  Krueger had a tremendous chance with tons of room and plenty of time but he couldn't get a good shot off; Gallagher also had nice chance.

[Al DeFlorio]

Boneheaded penalty.

[Al DeFlorio]

Leads to an awful goal.

Davenport fell down behind the net and the puck deflected off of Seminoff's skate with no Yale players within 10 feet.  ::thud::

[Trotsky]

Too bad, Cornell had played an excellent defensive third period, holding Yale to just 2 shots.  But Davenport falls down and Seminoff (?) puts it in our own net, and we go to overtime.
