Cornell - Gate

Iles was really standing on his head in the third period, lots of tough shots and bold moves by Andy to keep the puck out of the net. But even moreso was the defensive effort right at the goal mouth.. yes yes giving Colgate so many opportunities notwithstanding, there were a few goals that were saved by our Mihalek and other defensemen.

I think Colgate's pp looked way different than Colorado's... Colgate cycled the puck really quickly, so we couldn't go after them as much like we did CC, so a lot more shots, a lot less clearly, and more angina for the fans. Our own passing is looking really tight so far, though -- the second period could have easily been us scoring another two or three times.. the passes across their Mihalik had him totally dazed and out of position -- just a matter of tapping it in or getting the right angle, but he was beat hard and looking foolish. Our pk looked not as strong, but the offense looked fantastic.

I'll take your word for it, but the offense was "fantastic" with 14 shots all game?

Second period offense looked good in terms of the breakout and puck movement.  As usual, a lot of shots missed net, so weren't counted.  I couldn't see offense much for the first and third period from my seat, right behind Iles and almost with the goal judge.Although Andy made 24 saves in the first period, many were not real tough.  Third period much more difficult with fewer shots.

Anybody besides Al and Jim old enough to remember early 70s movies?  At one point in the classic Rollerball, Moonpie watching the Tokyo team says to Jonathan E,  "They're all a bunch of little fellers."   Same with Colgate.  I didn't think we mauled them enough.

the colgate announcers implied we were too big at times on D yet they still got a lot of shots off.

[Aaron M. Griffin]

Not even I was around for that one.

Had other plans that evening?

No it wasn't. Quite frankly we were outplayed, and we lukcily had one of the best goalies in the country in net.

Also what was with Espo's absence last night?

The band should learn this:

(Actually it would sound awesome at Sage.)

In fact Jeff, they did play a game for the public when filming was complete.  Read about it here.::rock::

There are rollerball leagues. A friend of mine went to see a game in the SF Bay Area sometime in the last year. (To what degree it's anything like the movie I have no idea.)

I've seen "rollerball" that's really just roller derby.  Having said which, roller derby is awesome.

[TimV]

In Cali, I'm pretty sure that's just hockey played wearing roller skates on tennis courts or othetr pavement.  If there are no motorcycles, it's not rollerball.

Also a banked track.  I don't know whether roller derby even uses those anymore -- the "club level" teams just play on a flat surface, which doesn't allow for any speed.
