Cornell 5, Quinnipiac 3 (postgame)

[sah67]

Can anyone comment on Scrivens's performance for those of us who couldn't watch the game/feed?

[redhair34]

On the quinnipiac postgame they interviewed Pecknold who whined about the first Cornell goal.  He said we clipped Vetri, and he was certain the goal was going to be called off, watched the replay already..."it was the turning point in the game" yada yada.  Did anyone else notice this?

No chance on the first goal.  Nelson chipped in a fat rebound on the second goal.  Scrivens couldn't cover it up--people in A/B can comment as to whether he should have been able to pounce on the puck.  I believe the penalty shot was scored five hole.  Scrivens was deep in the crease when atkinson let the shot go.  Overall he looked a lot like Scrivens.  He did some things that made you scratch your head, but he made some nice saves late in the second period when we were hurting.  I recall one post to post save in particular.

Edit: I should mention I watched on the pc.

I'd say he looked okay, but I don't think it was his day today.  He was caught out of position a couple of times, and he seems to really like skating up to the blue line (once leaving the net wide open and he took his sweet time coming back).  But, he did make some really nice saves and seems to be somewhat consistent.

Oh, and he had a really nice jump-dive-roll over that one Q player that came crashing into the net.

I watched it a couple times on the webcast and it looked like a slow motion love tap. From my view, QU player went down like an Italian soccer player.

It looked like a pretty hard hit into the boards from behind, a combination of charging, boarding and hitting from behind.  I was sitting in G, so it was a little difficult to tell, but it was definitely a penalty and I can't say that a major was right, but I can't say it was wrong either.

Undisciplined, Hah!! That second period needs to be addressed by the league.  Dell Was aweful.  The penalty shot should havenever happened, the defender knocked the puck away before the Q player was tripped, at most it deserved a 2 min.  This is just one complaint of many.

Scrivens IMHO played a very good game.  He handles the puck very well and offers a lot more confidence than I saw in Davenport last night.  Two powerplay goals and a Penalty shot is tough to complain about.  

My opinion of the game is that it took a lot of moxie to weather the second period and finish the game the way they did.  The team is growing, this season should prove to be exciting with all the talent we have.

A good win tonight. After a very rough 2nd period (yes some of it their doing), it was great to see them come out and get the lead very early in the 3rd. It was also nice that they got an insurance goal too.

I was watching on the webcast so things not very clear, but it does sound like the 5 minute major was a very subjective call and not an obvious hit from behind.

For the people at the game... it seem like Devin was taking a lot of shots from the point... were most of them getting through and to the net?

Here's hoping that they can build on this win next weekend (and leave the stupid penalties behind).

LGR!

It was hard to see what happened on the penalty shot, but I think Atkinson lifted the puck over Scrivens' right leg.

Devin has a pretty heavy shot.  It will be really nice to see how good he is in four years.  The brothers Devin and Kennedy played hard.  Nash has some great potential.  If he hangs around we have a bright future.

Much needed win for the team.  I though Devin, Mugford, and Seminoff played fabulous today, Krantz on the other hand was not as impressive.  

I think we have two very winnable games next weekend- look forward to seeing you guys there.

Yup, definitely could have been called goaltender interference.  Many of the fans around me thought it had been waved off as well, although I think the Q defensemen got as much of their goaltender as we did hence the none call.  I guess the end result was a hell of a screen.

[quote LaJollaRed]Up until that point, I wanted Berk to be named Player of the Weekend. Last night he had three phenomenal blocks on his stomach, added two more tonight before being sent to the locker room, and some great stuff on offense.

He's one to watch.

Barlow was fantastic tonight. The second period presented the team with three very  difficult situations, 2 of which led to goals...Not bad.

Oh jesus, I needed this...LGR![/quote]

I agree, Berk is off to a great start.  He has come from vying for the final roster spot to a mainstay on the PP unit.  Schafer will have a tough decision when Nash returns.  That being said, his hit definitely warranted a 5 minute major, easy call for the official every time.

At this point Davenport has to be the odd man out.

[jca4e]

Especially seeing as the focus needs to be on a disciplined team and the way he lost his cool when that Quinnipiac player went after Scrivens. Not that I wouldn't have too, it's just important that we play a cool game right now.

I would tend to agree with that, although it gives the defense a bit of depth in terms of game experience.  I wouldn't be surprised if we continued to see a bit of roster shakeups for each game once Nash gets back, platooning 7 defenders.  Although that's a bridge we'll cross when we come to it.  
Along the same lines, I agree with Doug that Krantz had a very rough game tonight and looked all but sharp, very unlike him.  Krueger has been my most impressive defender thus far (or at least the biggest surprise) while Seminoff continues to give good performances each night.
