Quinnipiac at Cornell post-game 1

sah67 · March 09, 2007, 10:19:11 PM

Guess I'll get this started...just got back from Lynah.

Not much to say right now, but Hansen was simply horrendous, as expected. Do we get stuck with this clown for the rest of the series as in the past? Someone mentioned that the program said something about Feola for tomorrow night, and Hansen again if there's a third game...or was that an error?

What happened to Salmela on the PP?

The first PP actually looked decent...and not even a single one-timer slapshot from the point...lots of backdoor attempts instead. Unfortunately, the PPs got progressively worse, with the last one just being hard to watch, and ending up more like a PK.

Davenport looked good tonight, as did Seminoff...didn't seem to be showing much in the way of mono after-effects. However, the rest of the D seemed to be leaving Davenport out to dry on several occasions. Lots of missed passes and missed scoring opportunities too; we didn't look like we were on top of our game. Thankfully, the PK was good, and Q wasn't on fire either, otherwise this would have ended before OT.

I didn't hear the pre-game show...was Taylor Davenport a healthy scratch?

mistakes, mistakes, mistakes. That wasn't the first puck that they lost deep in their own end, poor decisions where made in the red's half of the ice all night. No suprise that it eventually came back to bite them.

Can anyone who had a good view of the no-goal enlighten those who didn't? Was it a hand pass?

Just got back from Lynah. What a horrendous first period! The team looked better after that, but at no point would I have called them a great hockey team during that game. Tonight was the first time in a long time that I have not seen Cornell salute the Lynah Faithful.

Did anyone hear the 3 stars of the game?

Any guesses on who's in goal tomorrow night?

It was gloved in. Cornell didn't argue it at all which is pretty rare for them. That tells me they got the call right. Officiating was good.

If it's not Davenport ::bang::

From my view it was a hand pass, not just knocked in from the air.

wow, that didn't even occure to me. I was so disgusted myself that it didn't even cross my mind that the team didn't stay out at center ice for the first time in my cornell career.

Well, I'm sure it was an oversight or that they wanted to get away from the celebrating pile of golden hair, but would you blame them? The building really seemed stagnant--there just was not a lot of good energy coming out of the crowd...at least not playoff-level energy. Cripes, half of B was empty for the first period. We need to step it up tomorrow night and give our team the home team advantage they need!

Don't they always not salute when it's part of a series?

redheadfanatic · March 09, 2007, 10:56:26 PM

I know they always don't shake hands, but I was pretty sure that they still saluted.

Feola was in Canton tonight but someone on USCHO says SLU/Colgate gets J. Murphy (who was in Potsdam tonight) tomorrow. I don't recall refs moving around during the playoffs before.

I have to disagree, I would argue that the reffing tonight was the best we have seen this year at Lynah. They were invisible for the most part, especially after the first period.

As for the game play, it was nice to have a full defensive unit. Is this the first game this year that Seminoff and Glover have been in the lineup together? Carefoot also looked excellent tonight coming off injury. He really flew around to the puck and played well on the PK. The PP looked much better tonight also, much better movement and away from the puck.

i thought during a 3 game series, they only salute the crowd after the last game of the series. i watched the clarkson series hte last 2 years as well and remember it that way.

I would usually welcome invisible reffing in the ECAC, but I think Hansen missed a lot of clear calls, and let the puck go on scrambles where it clearly should have been whistled dead a lot sooner. I certainly would not prefer a Binda penalty-fest, but I think refusing to call penalties when they're warranted is not a good thing.
