CU at Union

Union Coach Bennett has our size on his mind.

Who's gonna be there?  Only SRO tickets left.

You bought out the entire arena, Jim? Impressive. ::banana::

If that arena were on eBay, it would probably fetch about $5.00.

Haha, and they'd throw in Starr for free.

Ha, ha, not bad.

More seriously, from the Ithaca Journal article on this weekend:

including a disqualification on Big Red sophomore forward John McCarron for "obscene language," an infraction that all associated with Cornell, including Schafer, insist did not happen.

The sequence in question, which occurred after the final horn of the second game, a 2-1 Denver win, is under review by commissioners from both ECAC Hockey and the Western Collegiate Athletic Association.

If that's the case, too bad you can't postpone the games off, till final decision.

That was almost two weeks ago. How long can it possibly take to review the footage and reports?

McCarron is on the ice.

Appeal? Is that why he's here?

Let's hope it's in writing.

[Trotsky]

Mihalek back, too.

McCarrons offence was dropped and given to Rodger Craig.

Great effort tonight, and a big comeback win on the road against a competitor for a bye.

It's been a long break (2 months) since the last league game but this continues Cornell's ECAC winning streak, and puts them back over .500 in league for the first time since game 2.

Also, on the off chance that Jason ever visits here, and for our edification, can somebody who knows (Arthur, I assume) please confirm the following situation.

During play tonight, De Swardt (or maybe Mowrey) ripped a shot off the post.  No goal was signaled and play continued, and on a subsequent rush Cornell scored.  The first shot was reviewed.  The question is, if the first shot is ruled a goal, is the clock simply rewound to the time of the first shot with everything afterwards ignored?

BTW, what if an infraction occurs in the "lost period"?  Does it count?  If so, what about a too many men?  Even worse, what about a too many men which Cornell then scores on during the delayed penalty?

The simplest solution would seem to be: penalties still count, they are assessed at the time of the original shot, but a goal on a delayed call, like the secondary goal, would not count.  A really fun situation would occur, however, if a penalty shot was called.  If the penalty shot were allowed to take place, a team could be credited with two goals at the same instant.  Indeed, each team could be credited with a goal at the same instant, causing generations of subsequent box score reviewers' heads to explode.

Yes, its rewound to the first goal and everything that happened after is supposed to be ignored. In practice they're not going to review it if the same team scored that next goal. They only really bother to review the first goal if the other team scores. Especially if they're ECAC refs who can't be bothered to learn what constitutes offsides.
