Cornell 1 at Colgate 2 (ot)

In no league at any level was Hornby's Checking from Behind a Major & Game Misconduct. . .no f'ing way! The same hit was given by Colgate's Rob Brown in the second and he only got a minor. If his intent was to call a tight game his intentions were short lived as he soon forgot how/when to raise his arm and blow his whistle.
They beat us but Dell just SUCKED 100%!::uhoh::

Maybe Hornby didn't deserve to be ejected, but Hornby is a very rough player who gets a lot of penalties, not a few of them dumb ones. If that had been on Cornell our fans would have called it a cheap shot. I think he sometimes hurts the team by doing it, but Schafer makes clear that he likes Hornby's aggressiveness.

An addendum: About a minute into the penalty kill, Ben Wallace was cross-checked to the ice from behind. No call.

But there's no way to blame this loss in any way on the refs. We were ofer on the power play, their goalie played an excellent game, and the metal pipes behind him played even better. ;-)

Can't win 'em all. The team will move on.

Was that the one that was right in front of Dell?

When Hornby was a Freshman he seemed to be bent on outdoing his numerical predecessor and took a number of dumb penalties. After a few games he got a lot better at making legal hits and was just starting to be a force when he got his season-ending injury at the first Everblades tourney. For the last season and a half, he's been an entertaining and impressive physical presence, a consistent hustler, one of our speedier players, and has even displayed a bit of scoring touch. I'm not too worried that he's suffering some sort of a relapse, considering how quickly he got over his *ahem* problem at the start of his career.

Here's to the semi-guided missile having a whole game to knock the Raiders around Lynah tomorrow night.

If he really did get a DQ, then he aint gonna be playing tomorrow either. But hopefully he just got a Game Misconduct and will be back in all his charm and grace.

If the Colgate announcer is to be believed ("Icing Colgate!"), then it was a Misconduct and not a DQ.

Al DeFlorio · January 31, 2003, 11:24:07 PM

Agree 100%.

Granted he's missed four games with injury and most of one with the...ahem...DQ, but I don't think he's been on the ice for one goal-against this year.

Al DeFlorio · January 31, 2003, 11:27:45 PM

Sorry. It was a misconduct. What I was trying to say was that he was "DQ'd" from that game--unlike the four others he missed.

Ben Doyle 03 · February 01, 2003, 02:37:46 AM

It was a Game Misconduct. . .he will be dressed tomorrow night.

I had no idea those were box score links. ;-)
