[lynah80]

Niagara goalie almost made a huge gaffe

[Rosey]

Mugford is a BAMF.  Damn.

Kyle

[mnagowski]

Could have been a nice empty net goal...

[lynah80]

Niagara tries to score on their own net during delayed penalty call!

[lynah80]

Cornell is not being aggressive on the PP kill.

[mnagowski]

Niagara announcers: You can't fault our goalie when he falls down and the puck goes into the net.

I was thinking the same -- we were giving the pointmen way too much room.  But hey, it worked.

Overall, I like what I see.  Niagara is competing better tonight, but we are clearly the stronger team.  These one-goal games are tough, as there's obviously no margin for error.  Let's get one early in the third and get a little breathing room.

So, the intermission guest (Niagara co-captain -- I missed the name) didn't want to go to Nanaimo for a year or two? :-}

"Cornell has been a tough team to beat in the third period" -- I guess he had a bit too much holiday cheer last weekend and missed the results from Estero.

[Trotsky]

Cornell pp upcoming.  We need it, the Eagles had some momentum.

[Beeeej]

Scott converts on a rebound; 3-1.

[lynah80]

Cornell not clearing the zone.  Don't blame Scrivens

[Al DeFlorio]

Allowing a lot of action right in front of Scrivens tonight.

[lynah80]

Still lots of hard hitting.

[lynah80]

Bad penalty to take by B Nash 5 on 4
