Cornell 4 Dartmouth 3 Game 1 (Friday) Final (2OT)

[marty]

Regardless of series length, opposing hockey teams only shake hands after the series is decided.

Best of seven?

But yes, there was no Union RPI line for greetings after their game on Friday. It was amazing how quick RPI retreated to their locker room.

Someone correct me if I am wrong (as if I have to ask for correction if I am in fact wrong), but is it not standard for the teams to shake hands after each playoff game? I found Dartmouth's sulking off the ice tonight both humorous and perhaps unsportsmanlike. I cannot remember if Harvard and Cornell shook hands after each game in 2010 (the last ECAC QF before Game 1 of this series that I attended in person). Perhaps a minor detail, but I found it classless, especially if it violates typical protocol.

In a multi-game playoff series, the teams shake hands at the end of the series. Thus in this instance, Dartmouth's conduct was fine.

Thanks. I just wanted to check. The scene that Gaudet was making with his screaming probably just cast an air around the end of the game so it seemed like a snub, and I could not recall if it was. The most I remember from the end of the 2010 ECAC QFs was the winning team/losing team and season's over chants after Game 2.

RPI has always had a lot of speed.::nut::

Aaron now holds the record with 5 corrections.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yup, you're wrong. Teams never (and now someone will probably correct me, as perhaps once in a blue moon it happens) shake hands after games in a series with games remaining to be played.

It is however standard for someone to notice and get offended that there was no handshake after game one.  Welcome aboard!  (No insult intended; veteran posters have done this dating back to the cave-painting days of HOCKEY-L.)

Those images you could see.

:-)  Thanks. I feel more a part of the ELF community now.

So was anything said about the Dartmouth coaches yelling at the refs after it was over? They were quite intense.

Gaudetting has become an acceptable form of coaching behavior. Rose, however, wouldn't let it go & I thought he was going to lose his biscuits.

I fully expect a large fight to break out tonight near the end of the game (or tomorrow if Dartmouth wins tonight). Both teams were getting chippy last night, the refs didn't have much control, and there were a few minor skirmishes. Also, I can't imagine either team is happy that key players had to leave the ice at various times due to injury, even though they all returned eventually (Esposito, Miller, D'Agastino, and Mowrey for Cornell, and Gaudet for Dartmouth).

Speaking of Miller's injury, he was down for a long time and in section A we thought he was concussed. Does anybody know how he was able to get back in so soon? Was he risking making a concussion worse? What actually happened to him? All the other players we could sort of tell what happened (Mowrey got hit in the head, I think by the puck, Esposito and D'Ags limped off the ice, and Gaudet left clutching his wrist).

After looking at the GWG video by TheMatrix, I don't think we were as off sides as we thought. Here's a snap shot of the moment the puck crossed the blue line.

Nice.  Thanks.

Our man in the center appears to remain onside as the puck crosses, but it is definitely quite close. I don't remember if the LW was onside or not, but he is not visible in the video.

[jtn27]

I'm pretty sure that Esposito's first goal was actually kicked in by a Dartmouth player, but it's hard to tell for sure in the video.
