O'Neill should have been called for a dive

Oat · January 23, 2009, 07:54:30 PM

That was a nice dive, I must say.

Devin looked like a pylon on that sequence. 4 v 4 goal.

LGR!

Yale has confirmed by suspicion that they are a good, opportunistic team.

Oat · January 23, 2009, 07:58:05 PM

Scrivens can't control his rebounds tonight

He's not turning them aside to the board. He's letting them sit in front of the crease.

[quote Oat]That goal was Kennedy's fault. After he got thrown out of the faceoff circle, he went to stand in the slot. And when the puck dropped, he immediately charged forward. He probably thought Yale was going to pass it back to their point man. But they didn't. They put the shot on net right away and it was already too late for Kennedy to turn back to clear the rebound.[/quote]

If you played hockey, you would know that that is exactly what Kennedy is supposed to do on the faceoff. The defenseman that lines up next to him at the center side of the faceoff dot is supposed to cover the winger that is in front of them, and the winger is supposed to charge out and cover the defenseman. This is the textbook way to play a faceoff.

Does this mean Yale will win the Ivy banner?

Oat · January 23, 2009, 08:01:18 PM

So who, in the textbook, is supposed to have cleared that rebound?

Edit: I just watched the replay again. It looked like everyone moved forward. Kennedy, being the last man, had everyone to his right in his sight and decided to play by the "textbook" and went up as well I guess. As a result, we had a huge gaping fluted hole in front of the crease. If someone else didn't play by the textbook here, Kennedy sure did not notice that and did not make the appropriate adjustment to the mistake.

Scrivens is not looking sharp tonight.

What? That they're good? opportunistic? That they're leading by one in the second period of the first game between these teams and one of 10 Ivy games for each school? I'm confused.

O'Neill could become a favored target at Lynah over the next few years.

DisplacedCornellian · January 23, 2009, 08:08:34 PM

Nash!

Jacob '06 · January 23, 2009, 08:08:55 PM

Riley Nash picks up some garbage in front of the net on the PP. 2-2

mnagowski · January 23, 2009, 08:08:56 PM

Crash the net guys.

Rita · January 23, 2009, 08:09:19 PM

Riley Nash ppg.

Scramble in front and Nash puts it into a virtually wide open net.

Yale about to go on the pp.

LGR!
