Game 3 v. Q

[ftyuv]

Maybe he was mad that Bui is 26?  I'm not, I figure the kid just wants to play hockey.  I'd probably have done it too if I was good enough.  [If you can't help yourself, insert snarky comment here about a 26 year old scoring 2 goals all season]

Rand is a good guy, I didn't see it but I hope he at least congratulated him and his team before he left.  I'm a big Schafer fan but what exactly did Rand do other than win?

One thing is they were very "upset" that the film was sent to ECAC about Axell's hit and injury.

Sending out your top power-play unit while blowing the other team out is an effective way to piss off your opponent. Keep in mind that when Kellen Jones scored a power-play goal in the final minute of the second period, Cornell had not yet done anything unsportsmanlike during the game. (32 seconds later, Cornell crossed that line with the two-man late hit on Kevin Bui well after the horn sounded.)

The proper response when you object to your opponent scoring more than you do is to score some goals yourself. Gooning up the ice is the real classless act here.

Like stealing bases in the last inning of a 10-0 baseball game (which my son's Little League team did, to my and my wife's discomfort, last week), a cultural norm was breached. I agree that running up the score doesn't justify bodychecking a player two or three seconds after a period ends (though Kevin Bui sure got his revenge last night); however, Quinnipiac using the first-power play unit in an 8-0 game against a goaltender with 31 seconds of experience in four years (Rand Pecknold was well-aware of Omar's playing time at Cornell) is likely a major source of Mike Schafer's unhappiness with his counterpart.

Yes to both of you, if I may. A goonish response to a dickish move doesn't excuse the goonishness, but neither does it negate the dickishness.

This is expected in college hockey and most college sports, but there was a minor difference in that they were perhaps trying to pummel Cornell mentally so that we wouldn't show up on Sunday. I am so glad we did put on a good face and make a good game of it Sunday.

"I think he doth protest too much" When you lead the country in penalty minutes by a mile I think you lose the high ground when complaining about another team or their coach. Schafer has done a lot of complain but has not taken care of his own business.

Ah. So because Cornell is undisciplined, they have no right to take exception to unsportsmanlike conduct?  

Q is #2 in PIMs. Do you think Rand doth protest too much about Cornell sending in a tape on a dirty hit on Axell? About whining about McCarron and Lowry? Does he take any blame for Goodman's ridiculous hit on Ryan in a 9-0 game?

Yeah that is what I am saying it rings hollow. Our team was undisciplined and I hate to say it but goonish this year and the coach was not able to change that. Just look at the penalty minutes they stick out like a sore thumb Roughtly 10% higher than #2. The Q players are not a bunch of choir boys but there were times I was embarrassed for the first time in my life to be a Cornell fan (I am thinking about the "nut job" in particular).

I don't actually care too much about goonery, as long as it doesn't hurt your team. Being a pest, drawing matching penalties, scoring a goal and then immediately dropping the gloves with Dion Phaneuf. The only reason I was embarrassed was at the stupidity of this team to take all those penalties that were going to hurt the team because they couldn't kill them. Q takes the 2nd most penalties in the country, but it doesn't really matter, since they kill them at a 90% rate. I'm more embarrassed that these players go to Cornell, and couldn't put together that lots of penalties, and a terrible penalty kill = bad results.

Here are highlights from the game, in much higher quality than what America One Sports provided last night.
