Post Game!

Agreed- if there's a real check from behind on the play... no one who knows how to skate much less play hockey goes down from that "hit"

[quote billhoward]It was a 2-minute shove from behind, not a 5-minute major. If you believed the refs were in debt to a bookie who had money on Colgate, it would have been understandable. Since that's not the case, the next best explanation is: It was a bad call by referees who wanted to keep the game safe ... and over-reacted.[/quote]

We had a clear view from Section G. Bill's assessment is right on...it was just a shove. Lynah was starting to rock; the ref's thinking, "We need to keep it safe for 4:37 more minutes" makes a lot of sense. Add to that Cornell seemed careful regarding penalties all night.

Exactly, if krantz skated into him and planted him from behind there is no question that is a 5er.  Since they were both standing there and Krantz shoved him into the boards, 2 minutes, at most.  I think the Colgate player put himself in a more dangerous position by diving than Krantz did by shoving him.  I am glad, however, that the situation turned into a charater builder rather than a crushing one.

No rest for the weary. I'm not looking forward to the Clarkson game like I usually do.

Hey! I'm new to the board, but heres my opinion on the call. Now i sit in section F, and from my point of view there was no way thats a 5 min penalty. When i saw it i was thinking maybe 2 minutes, and was very shocked when he made it a 5 min penalty. That did end up being a great thing for momentum, however so it all worked out.

The replay on Time Warner made it look pretty bad -- the guy was low on the boards and he crumpled.  I wasn't too surprised it was a major.

The kill for that final 4:35 was amazing and will certainly carry the momentum forward.  And, the fans during the kill were equally as impressive.   However, I do have to say that I was disappointed in the Lynah Faithful because of the lack of a curtain call for Coach Schaefer after the game.  Was it ignorance? Apathy?  Maybe I missed something, but I was SHOCKED that the fans didn't demand that he come back out and acknowledge all that he's done for the program.

Yes, that would have been a nice thing to do, but I'll admit that it didn't immediately register to me that this was the record win. Though I had been following his quest for the win, I was caught up in the thrill of the last 4:35 and forgot all about it when the game ended. So, to answer your question, I'd think ignorance.

Just saw the replay on CSTV.  It jolted my memory about something:

It reminded me of the "battle of the bands" - when our Tubas tried to play the Die/Drop Dead/Go Home and the Colgate band drowned them out.  The tubas played it in its entirety, stopped, then played it again when the Colgate band was done.  The Colgate band played over them once again, but the crowd went crazy when the tubas began the second rendition.

The crowd energy skyrocketed with that and we scored the goal not long after.  I'm not saying it was a direct correlation, but I remember being so pumped after that back and forth.

A few us attempted a "thank you schafer" chant but in all honesty everybody was pretty psyched and animated about the win that it problably didn't register on most people.

Even if they did, I doubt he would acknowledge it.  He's downplayed the record in the media, and coming out to "take a bow" would be extremely out of character.  He's never been one to shift the adulation onto himself away from the players, and even seemed uncomfortable going back to all the "Thank you, Schafer" chants in '96 & '97.  Besides, having a coach take a public bow after such a huge confidence-building game might appear to take credit for  the hard work and execution the players just showed.  Something this team doesn't need right now.

A great photo of the team after the win from 14850 suggests that he got his due in a way that probably means more to him than chants from the crowd.  I'm fine with that.

The crowd did love it so i guess it worked out OK for us.  It was pretty funny.  While I realize that etiquette and Colgate do not usually go together in the same sentence, unless preceded by the word poor, didn't Colgate violate band etiquette of not playing over one another?  Do tubas not count as a band or is it just a lack of class?

As long as I am on the topic of poor etiquette and Colgate, what is the deal with Colgate's WWF announcer at Starr not announcing Cornell's goals?  It seemed a bit childish and I think hw did the same thing last year.  I was wondering if only we get this treatment or if they roll out the red carpet like that for everyone.
