Cornell vs. Clarkson 3-0 FINAL

[Mike Hedrick 01]

As Jordan used to tell us in Section A: "We own four-on-four hockey!"

[gwm3]

Shutout #5!

[gwm3]

Fight going on now... hopefully no DQ's.

Iggulden got a DQ and will miss tomorrow's game.

CNNSI has a decent scoreboard page that refreshes itself every few minutes.

The head ref tonight, Fulton (sp?) was horrible.  He missed an insane amout of calls.  One play specifically, there was a an obstruction, holding then our guy went to skate away and his stick was held.  This guys makes the NFL refs look good.  Not to mention that he blew the whistle way to quick when the goalies touched the puck with no one around.  I think we had the "let them play" chant going at least three times.  I hope he finds a red tag in his locker after the game.

Robb, I agree Fulton had a quick whistle tonight but he was consistent (that's all you can ask for from a ref). As for letting them play. . .we definitely  had our fair share of questionable no-calls and then there was the phantom Clarkson goal in the second period (::uhoh:: it WAS over the line ::uhoh:: &  Age has the picture to prove it).  IMHO, we have no grounds to complain about the officials.

Ben,

Sure you can ask more. You can ask him to be accurate. So long as it's both way it's not unfair, but it's still not good reffing... he let the game get out of hand.

And I was in E so I couldn't see the phantom Clarkson goal, though I'd be interested to see the picture. However, the light didn't go on either, so the goal judge missed it too, which means that maybe it wasn't entirely unreasonable for Fulton to miss it. At least it wasn't the deciding goal in the end.

Fred,

I agree with you on the accuracy point but if he "sucked" then he "sucked" for both teams. The game did get slightly out of hand but that was none of the referee's doing. He made the call he should have and in a couple of cases called matching minors when he probably should have just made a single call. The past three games v. Clarkson @ Lynah have been just like tonight. So to say this game was different b/c the referee was not calling a decent game holds very little water. The fact remains that Clarkson/Cornell games are rough and historically tend to get somewhat out of hand. . .regardless of the referee.

Just my $.02 :-)

Standing right on the goal line what I saw was Lenny's glove clearly over the line, but Fulton probably never saw the puck over the line and as a result couldn't call it a goal.  Who knows?

Number one star tonight:  Dan "Pegs" Pegoraro.  He generated at least 3 excellent scoring chances and played great heads up hockey.  He has stepped up recently and let's hope it's a sign of good things to come!

[DeltaOne81]

Eh, I think he let too much go to have a good shot at keeping it calm. It may've gotten out of hand anyway (based on history it would have :-) ), but I don't think he helped.

On the other point, sucking consistently is better than sucking inconsistently, but it's still sucking :-P .

As for the goal, I repeat, the goal judge didn't catch it either, so it was probably a very hard angle from on the ice. Still sucks for Clarkson - I've been there. At least it wasn't a one goal game.

[Ben Doyle 03]

Although the no-goal did not impact the final score, if IIRC it would have made it a tie game. Goal or not, it definitely sucks for Clarkson. . .we'll take the win and move on to the boys from SLU(t) tomorrow night.:-D

Our Team played hard and well  YEAH!  Saw some good passing especially in 2nd and 3rd period  - but our 1st power play unit were slow getting it together and were not moving the puck as well and as quickly as the second unit.    Started a tad slowly in the first period only having maybe 2 good shots on net whole period.  

I am glad Greg H. only got a misconduct in the third  -  given he skated almost to their bench to get Edwards ( I think)  - well after the whistle and two other penalties had already been called -  and in essence instigated there,  he easily could have had a Game DQ -  we are lucky - Last I heard Colgate - St L.  was 4-4 going into overtime -  

Cam Abbot and Dan P.  played very well!   Ben Wallace had a good game - and both keepers Dave L. and Marsh played really well!  I had shots on Goal of 17-8 us in the  Second period.  while 1st and third period were more even in shots.  

The wholoe team hustled and looked good after most of the first period when our feet didn't seem to be moving too well or Clarkson just came out flying  !  they have some good hockey players -

I also felt the officials were pretty good and consistent  over all -  
Looking forward to Saturday night - Let's go RED!

[wes oak]

so is mike iggulden officially dq'd for tomorrow night's game against SLU?

[Jim Hyla]

Yes, according to Adam and ECAC page. 5 min. major for fighting and GD. Same for CLK but their instigator got 5 for checking from behind and GD. All this at the end of the game. Clk. gets no better under a "new" coach.
