Cornell-BU (Sunday)

[Al DeFlorio]

BU announcers about to interview Grady between periods.

[Al DeFlorio]

According to Livestats, there were five forwards on the ice for Cornell's third (a PPG) and fourth goals.

[Greg Berge]

I thought the 4th goal was 4x4.

[Al DeFlorio]

2nd goal was 4x4.  Fourth goal:  Hornby, Abbott, Matt McRae, Iggulden, Paolini--according to Livestats.

[Sperris]

4-1 darn. It was shorthanded (3 on 4).

[Al DeFlorio]

Sucky way to lose a shutout.  Almost as bad as yesterday's goal.

The radio feed cut out briefly, and while it did, Cornell scored.  Knoepfli (Pegoraro, Palahicky).

5-1 Cornell.

[Al DeFlorio]

Would be nice if our co-captain would stay out of the penalty box.

[big red 58]

:-) knoepfli on goal 5, final 5-1.

[Adam \'01]

5-1 Cornell.  Final.

Same old story: Cornell plays suffocating defense, offense creates nice opportunities especially on the power play, Lenny is a rock in goal, Sam Paolini's dad wins the 50-50 raffle.

Screw BU.

[Greg Berge]

> Sam Paolini's dad wins the 50-50 raffle.

LOL.  Is that 4 times now?

Sweet sweep. On we go to Western Michigan.

[Josh \'03]

Their was nothing wrong with that last penalty he took.  On the way back from the Goal 5 celebration as Palahicky was skating back to the bench, VanderGulik from BU got in his way, elbowed him in the face, and tried to hit him.  And he stayed on for the next shift.  So Baby just hit him, then hit him again to the ground, and held him there, with every intention of getting whistled for it.  Nothing wrong with that when your the 6' 5'' captain and your team is up 5-1 late in the third.

                 "The radio feed cut out briefly, and while it did, Cornell scored. Knoepfli (Pegoraro, Palahicky)."

What's up with that? Combined with the drop outs earlier and against Brown, it's enough to make one paranoid (par-annoyed). If this keeps up I may have to resort to the drastic action of sending Laura S. an e-mail.

I signed up for this College Sports Pass becuase I couldn't stand not knowing the score against Princeton. After listening to the BU announcers (zzzzzzzzz yawn) it is clear that Adam makes it worth the trouble. Now if the technical crew can get on top of things.

Oh yeah, great job guys! Now GO FOR TWO IN KALAMAZOO (tm, c2002)

[Ken71]

As if his blown calls weren't annoying enough, the scoresheet at collegehockeystats.com says he gave out lots of penalties at the end of the game - maybe he didn't want to further lose control of a game he'd already screwed up:

  BU-10 Justin Maiser (2-Elbowing) 20:00  
  BU-11 Ryan Whitney (2-Roughing) 20:00  
  COR-10 Greg Hornby (2-Instigating) 20:00  
  COR-11 Greg Hornby (2-Roughing) 20:00  
  COR-12 Greg Hornby (10-Misconduct) 20:00  
  COR-13 Travis Bell (2-Roughing) 20:00  

At least there weren't DQs in any of this.

What the point of all of those are, I'm not quite sure (except for Hornby, who was definitely involved in some extra-curriculars...with Maiser or Whitney, I forget), but I do give Hansen credit for controlling the game in the 3rd and not letting thing get out of hand....e.g., the roughing that Palahicky drew (very nicely, I might add) by letting the BU get in a few jabs to his face, the roughing on the Midget, the tripping to Hynes, etc.

Hansen put the guys in the box in the 3rd, instead of letting things get truly ugly (like vs. Brown).
