Cornell going on its first powerplay with 3:11 left in the 1st.

[sah67]

We've been controlling the play well and negating UNH's speed on the big ice for the second half of the period.

[sah67]

5x3 for 1:06 now.

5x3 for 1:06! w00t! LGR!!

[sah67]

Schafer calls a timeout with 2:18 left in the first period, to set up the 5x3...this has worked before.

[Jordan 04]

Pull the goalie?

[sah67]

5x3 over...54 seconds of 5x4 left.  Good chances on the 5x3 but UNH was quick to block lanes and Foster made some big saves.

[sah67]

UNH back to full strength.

[Al DeFlorio]

That's the best I've seen Cornell play in the offensive zone this year.  Maybe we need a "big sheet" in Lynah.

[mnagowski]

The difference between the first two minutes of the period and the final eighteen was like night and day.

[sah67]

Are these silver jerseys new for UNH at home, or have they used them in previous seasons?

[billhoward]

Barry Melrose did a nice analysis of what Cornell needs to do better on PP especially: Riley Nash needs to unleash the shot the minute the puck is on his stick. (One difference from college to the pros is quickness getting a shot off). The announcers started the game describing Cornell's play in terms of what UNH did or didn't do then got around to appreciating Cornell on its own.

Odd reflections off the ice sheet make it look like the ice is worn even at the start of the period. UNH silver (?) jersey tops also look unusual, too. And the acoustics are dead as if nobody's there (it's not full but it's not empty either). Regardless, great to see Cornell on TV with no competiton from the Gianst-Vikings game, that having ended by about the start of the second quarter.

Dryden mentioned once. Still waiting for him to be acknowledged for that 29-0 season the year after he was graduated.

LGR! I really wish I could find some ESPNU online stream. with so many much more obscure channels being streamed, I figured ESPNU wouldn't be so hard. anyone has a link???

For what it's worth, I've been watching the UNH online stream.  Video's been decent resolution and smooth, audio is rough but doable, and the announcers are fine.  The cameramen are also very competent ::burnout::
