Cornell 2 - 3 Quinnipiac; Final

[imafrshmn]

As has been noted by others, tonight's match versus the Fighting Deerticks Bobcats of Quinnipiac is our second real challenge of the season (Yale being the first).  As we know, Quinnipiac has some dangerous and dynamic forwards, much like Yale.  Seniors Brandon Wong, Eric Lampe, and Mike "Goldilocks" Atkinson have been solid competition for Cornell for a few years now--we all remember what happened in '07.  Sophomore Dan Clarke looks to be their starter in net tonight, and looks very solid statistically, despite being on a 2-goalie rotation with Eric Hartzell, who minded net at Colgate last night.  Last year's series had a rare nil-nil tie in Hamden, and a 2-1 overtime win in Ithaca for the Red thanks to Evan Barlow.  Hopefully, coming off a PP goal last night, Riley Nash will spur the K-N-J line to be more productive.  I believe the Red will have to play a physical game and avoid odd-man rushes to get past Q this evening.  And I'll be damned if we have more problems with the video feed.

Lampe and Wong were the only two to score off Clarke in warmups. Thought that was fitting. Looks like Nicholls in for Axell on our side.

Wait...wait...don't tell me.  It's last night's Time Warner telecast sucking up the bandwidth.::pissed::

Won't load for me at all. Anyone have a direct link to the redcast page? Hopefully that helps?

I have the same problem.

Seems like the game threads have been more tech support than game this weekend.

Davies scored on the powerplay for Q.  Apparently there was someone on top of Scrivens when the puck went in, but the play was not reviewed.

[Al DeFlorio]

Birch had the rebound on his stick but couldn't control it.  Then right to the Q guy for the goal.
