Cornell 3 - 2 Niagara; Final/OT

imafrshmn · October 30, 2009, 06:09:29 PM

Cornell's regular season opener against CHA foe Niagara should provide a good measure of where our team stands at this point, as the perennially respectable Purple Eagles already have 4 games under their belts, all against quality opponents.

It will be interesting to see how the veteran firepower is spread throughout the lines tonight, and also who gets the start in goal (I'm expecting Scrivens will, does anyone have this info yet?).

The Ithaca Journal has a live blog going for the game.

CU lines report:

Miller - R. Nash - Kennedy
Greening - Gallagher - J. Devin
Esposito - Roeszler - Jillson
Scali - Collins - Axell

B. Nash - Whitney
D'Agostino - Krueger
Ross - M. Devin

Scrivens

LGR!

IJ/LB reporting Arthur Mintz will be missing in the scoring booth for the first time since 2/8/1991. Cornell senior and Newman Arena PA man Chris Lloyd takes the mic.

I assume Scrivens will start. I haven't heard anything to imply otherwise.

Look out for the two freshmen d-men, Birch and D'Agastino. Both looked older than their age last weekend and Birch just looks like he wants to hit someone. Another freshman to watch is Esposito - he really can fly, a little out of control still, but FLIES.

Should be a good test tonight. Niagara has lost 3 one goal games to good opponents thus far this year.

OK time to leave for the game!

If I heard coach right in the pregame, Birch is sitting tonight.

Princeton beat Brown 1-0 on an overtime pp this afternoon. Kalemba with 31 saves.

For those folks who had problems in paying for the new Redcast subscription with their credit cards, did you finally have any success? What was the work around?

Jeff Hopkins '82 · October 30, 2009, 07:05:36 PM

Yes, Scrivens in net.

Jeff Hopkins '82 · October 30, 2009, 07:12:53 PM

Ouch. 1-0 Niagara.

First Lynah review...

Oat · October 30, 2009, 07:14:24 PM

So far, this new Lynah interface has not brought good fortune to our team..

I was expecting a shutout victory tonight.

Jeff Hopkins '82 · October 30, 2009, 07:15:18 PM

Goal stands.

Jeff Hopkins '82 · October 30, 2009, 07:16:38 PM

Cornell penalty on Whitney.

Jeff Hopkins '82 · October 30, 2009, 07:19:27 PM

Even strength.

Jeff Hopkins '82 · October 30, 2009, 07:22:08 PM

Penalty on Riley Nash

Jeff Hopkins '82 · October 30, 2009, 07:24:03 PM

Niagara in the box. 4 x 4 for a minute.

TShen · October 30, 2009, 07:25:43 PM

Yeah! What a pass from Riley to Greening.

Jeff Hopkins '82 · October 30, 2009, 07:25:58 PM

Greening!!!
