Momentum for Brown & Yale

[Killer]

While I agree it would be good to carry some momentum from the St. Lawrence win into this weekend, I always have to chuckle when someone uses a particular phrase that Mike Schafer was quoted as having said in this article:

If you're going in the wrong direction, doing a "complete 360," probably isn't in your best interest...but I'll take it now.

LGR!

Wonderful.  I'm of the opinion that a ton of our problems last year (and for a three game stretch this year) can be traced directly to a lack of Bardreau.

Now, lack of depth so that one key injury brings you down is also a problem, but one that hopefully won't bite us any more.

So this begins the new year.

Buckles just had a 360 spinorama to tie Brown 1-1.

Every student in sections A & B should give up their tickets for the remainder if the season. They were chanting the assinine "bend over" while a penalty shot was taking place. If they are going to pay so little attention to the game they might as well not come.

And in other game notes the D looks horrible. Craig should not have gotten another shift for his dumb roughing penalty. How much longer is those type of things going to be allowed? Does Schafer even notice or care? Ugh.

Good start so far but Lynah continues to be the emptiest/quietest I've ever seen it.

Very true. E & F are at best one quarter full. There are empty seats in my section which rarely happens.

That was a much better period.  I really like Ferlin on the point. And nice to see the freshman getting some goals! Bardreau is a beast out there tonight.

I have to say that was one of the strangest games I have ever witnessed in person. A penalty shot. Broken glass. A mid-period ice resurfacing. Lots of scoring. And a PP that looked decent! Shocking!::wow::

According to the box score, Buckles was given a Game DQ for the scuffle at the final horn, so we'll lose him for the Yale game tomorrow night. The Brown player was given only a game misconduct for face-masking, as opposed to Buckles's DQ for fighting.

The refs weren't exactly for cornell in their calls. I had seen much worse fights than the Buckles fight that gave him the DQ, but on the other occasions players were sent to the bench to cool down or given a game misconduct at worse. Refs even awarded Brown a penalty shot which the Puck looked like was knocked out of Andy's glove. Bogus in my opinion that the refs didn't stop play as soon as they should have on that play.

Curious minds want to know - why were there no goal judges?

I would guess that Buckles got the game DQ because he threw punches at the Brown player while the Brown player did not return them. I don't that the DQ was justified but I think that is why there was a difference in penalties.

they have made a decision to have no goal judge since they really never had any decision making power anyway.. i think the play on having someone with a remote switch run the light now turn on  the light when the ref points a goal.. i did see it go on by mistake last night, but we scored a few seconds later anyway
