Cornell 5, Quinnipiac 3 (postgame)

[imafrshmn]

A great, gritty, win for the guys.  We played hard both nights, but tonight we were keener on scoring goals.  Here's a video I took of our 2nd goal, a nice slapshot from Mike Devin with a good set up from Michael Kennedy.

Okay, when was the last time before last night that *anybody* scored on a penalty shot at Lynah?

The box lists the PPGs as '6x5' or '6x4' - that is strange, right? Less strange, but unfortunate all the same, is that Ventri didn't get the L for Quinny.

Nice to get a win. And to score 5 in a game before Minnesota.

[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.

I completely agree.  He impressed me at the Red/White game.

It was also fun to watch R .Nash and Greening working together.  I think these two will make a potent combination.  Heck, Riley is fun to watch all by himself...very poised and graceful.  Like Ari has said, he's on a different level.

Chris Fontas needs a mention as well. He battled two guys in a corner (near A) for 2 minutes straight before getting it off to our guys, resulting in that goal. Awesome, awesome effort.

Towards the end, you can see Scrivens jumping over the Quinnipiac player.

That's a great sequence...very athletic on Scrivens' part.  It looks like the Q player tried to up-end Scrivens deliberately.  It looks like he came in low and raised his body to take out Scrivens feet as he jumped!

Could see it clear as day on WETM 11pm news in Elmira, 5 hole.

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

I would like to thank the cow bell guy (sorry I didn't catch your user name it was loud when you told me) and the rest of the Cornell fans for making me feel welcomed even though I am a Gopher fan. Getting the chance to experience Lynah from section B was fantastic.  I will be visiting quite a few other rinks/arneas out east this fall but it is going to be tough for them to top Saturday night.

Yes, it is. But that's how they've always done it. They're also a bunch of assholes. Just thought you might want to know.

Joe Nieuwendyk, 2/27/87, vs Steve Duncan of RPI.  It was part of a hat trick in Joe's penultimate game (he scored a hat trick the next night, too), and by weird coincidence I have it on cassette tape.

Carvel's against Duffus was at Appleton.

This is a fairly good assessment of the night. Scrivens did struggle at several points during the game, namely in the second period along with the whole team. The penalty shot did go five hole as people on here have mentioned. Scrivens stayed too far in his net on this. Atkinson was pretty much half way in the crease when the shot was taken. The first goal was just a great play by the Q PP. Second he probably could have covered it as mentioned, however like the night before people were open around the net, granted it was a 5x3. The puck also bounced off of Seminoff's glove down to the ice in front of the net as he was trying to swat it out of the air.

Cornell played a fairly decent game. The beginning of the first and the third was a great showing. However, that second period reminded me of last years third period at Princeton, just not to as bad of an extent. Cornell showed great poise to come back. It looked like Q ran out of gas. They also didn't have the advantage of having the whole third period a man up as well.

Excellent analogy, I was thinking the same thing.  Although we WERE able to come back in third in that one...
