Clarkson at Cornell postgame

Cactus12 · February 02, 2007, 09:54:08 PM

Great, well-deserved win...

Excellent physical play around the puck. Solid passing and solid goaltending. Nice exploitation of the Clarkson defense (or lack thereof esp. down low). Good finishing (finally) and there were multiple odd-man rushes where they could've tacked on even a few more! Also, almost every time there was a loose puck in front of Scrivens, there were at least three, white jerseys to clear it out immediately. I thought pretty much everyone played well- they wanted it. It's nice to see what this team is capable of when they're on.

As for Clarkson, once the power offense wasn't working for them, the same bunch of goons we see every year emerged, especially towards the end (and I'll willingly open the floodgates with that one). Plus, Leggio couldn't guard the post. I wasn't impressed at all.

Also, there was a hook about 10 seconds prior to, and eventually resulting in the "holding the stick" call against Krantz.

OK. The hit job on Dodge worked. Who do I need to visit tomorrow?

Except they've played 1 more game.

McNulty, the safety sieve, made a really amazing one there at the end. I am surprised he didn't get put in the net earlier.

[quote mttgrmm]there was also a tripping call right in front of section A/B against Sawada (i think?) that was total crap.[/quote]
Krantz' "holding the stick" was dicey, too. The stick was embedded in Doug's gut, he wasn't holding it anywhere.

[quote redhair34]There were a couple of absolutely brutal calls tonight. Luckily, they didn't impact the outcome. The contact to the head roughing call on Bitz was a joke.[/quote]

I wouldn't say it was a joke. A Clarkson player hit Bitz, who then turned and punched him twice in the head.

I hope Schafer noted how well Mugford played in front of the net on the PP at the end. He just parked himself there a la Tomas Holmstrom and all most deflected one in.

By points. SLU is in first by winning percentage. I prefer the latter, for the same reason that I think a 6-0-0 team is better than a 6-7-1 team.

Agreed. There was also a point in the second period where Sawada was parked very effectively in front of the net . Bitz (I think) chose not to take the shot, but had he gotten one on net, there's no way Leggio would've see it. Generally good play around the net.

where has the "your sister is your mother...." cheer gone?

my roomie and I attempted to sing it in the beginning of the third, and we were the only ones around who had any idea what was going on.

we're not that old, i'm '06 and he's '07, shouldn't there be more Faithful around who know it?

and also, if any band guys wanna chip in, why doesn't the band have Addams family in the queue anymore? the conductor guy looked at me like i had 3 eyes when i asked if they were gonna play it or if we were on our own...

i always liked it.

It was a joke because the Clarkson player knocked him in the head to the point where it almost jarred his helmet off. I didn't see Bitz punch him in the head; I saw him shove him in the chest. Even if he did, then send both to the box.

Cornell also controlled play and looked great behind the Clarkson goal, scoring twice on wrap-arounds and off Leggio's back on Greening's first goal.

Dpperk29 · February 02, 2007, 10:05:57 PM

I'm not going to say the better team won because I honestly think Clarkson is a better team on most nights. Cornell can take a game from any team on any night, making cornell a very dangerous team.

Tech came out flat and got down, never overcame it. I hope it's a lesson. Can't blame the officiating, it was consistent all night. I will respectfully disagree with those so-called "Brutal" calls.

Good win guys, your team earned it.

Yeah, I agree that they both should have gone.
