I'll give you a topic. The St. Lawrence announcers suck. Discuss.

I chalked it up mostly to jealous petulance. It was amusing in the beginning when it began in earnest, but then it got ridiculous with wanting phantom penalties (elbowing, other than Bardreau's almost call (I could not see that clearly enough to say whether that should have been called or not), etc.), it became entirely idiotic when they made it seem like Cornell hockey was about being crooked and taking cheap shots.

Big win. I'd imagine Cornell can't afford to lose another game before late in the ECAC tournament if they want an at-large bid, so this keeps them alive for that as well as for the number one seed in the ECAC. Big play from the seniors but they still haven't been able to shore up the defense and continue to blow leads.

Agree. And we just have to focus better in our own zone. On SLU's 3rd goal, our man (didn't see who) took a pass at the half wall standing still. He stopped the puck and then took his stick off the ice, so the puck was just sitting there in front of him for the SLU player to scoop up, walk in alone, and score. He needs to take that pass in stride OR one-touch it out of the zone - no messing around!

two shots at first next week.. win both or tie/win and union loses to colgate.. I win is probably needed to help the PWR out to keep those hopes alive. wonder what our record would look like if game were only 50 min long?

The only way I can see us getting at large bid is if we win both games next weekend (ties won't cut it) and then make it to Atlantic City. Even if we do that, we still might need to win the ECAC Tournament.

At one point the guy said something to the effect that the officials were afraid to make a call against Cornell.

Ummmmm, Mr. Playbyplay-

1. The game was on SLU home ice, and
2. Schafer wasn't coaching.

What's to be afraid of???::doh::

Just noticed that with Colgate's loss, we've clinched at least 2nd. Not too shabby for what I expected to be more of a rebuilding season!

Omar is kept in a rubber suit in a cage below the bench at each game. At a signal from Topher, Marrozzi surreptitiously raises the latch.

Last time it took more than a month to find all the bits of a linesman, the ref, and three trustees.

With such power comes great responsibility.

Why wasn't Schafer coaching, by the way? I noticed that the absurd announcers said it, but didn't know why.

What is Omar's preferred ~~airline~~ airport?

[According to JTW's script] tie/win won't do it. Have to beat Union Friday. With a tie/win and COL win Saturday, the teams tie on points and head to head. U has more conference wins.

Trotsky · February 19, 2012, 09:11:00 AM

So we need to beat Union and then match or exceed their Saturday points.

Thanks for posting this link. I feel brain dead after realizing that getting to some of Ken Schott's writing is as easy as clicking on the blogs area of the Gazette. I had been clicking on "Sports" and since I don't have a subscription, was blocked out of the content there. Too bad the Troy Record doesn't hide Weaver's homerism from the masses.
