Thank you Brian Ferlin.

For those headed to Lake Placid, there are 2-3 hotels still with rooms. It's possible some Clarkson RPI etcetera fans will cancel reservations but basically it's tough to get a room in town. There is still a lot of snow on the ground even for Lake Placid.

And there's the shutout.

So here's the goal. There's more than needed at the beginning, just pay attention when Ryan gets the puck at the Blue Line.

I like the extra "context" - looks like Cornell was really getting some good pressure and cycling going leading up to the goal.

The OT goal was classic Cornell. They kept Clarkson pinned in their own end for a minute and a half. Off the faceofff in the Cornell end, they started with Kubiak, Freschi, J. McCarron, MacDonald, and Gotovets. During the shift they changed to Ferlin, Widiner, Bardraux, Ryan and Lewis. I didn't see Clarkson change anyone and they slowly tired out.

Quote from: IcyThe OT goal was classic Cornell.

So was momentarily leaving the opponent an open net for long enough to get off a shot. Praise Allah, the infidels from the North aimed wide. Both sides had their share of misses and almosts, and then we connected after grinding them down, as we did in the TV game at UNH that had Barry Melrose agog several years ago. But then the almighty is on the side of the heavier battalion (Voltaire).

Looking this over is a reminder that both teams had so many great opportunities.

That game was a coin flip. I am very happy we are advancing.

Ugh. Great series, great games, and I am really sour about game 3. Two definite Clarkson goals missed/botched by the officiating crew in periods 2 and 3. Oh well. We had plenty of chances to close it out without those and didn't. Really tough way to end our season, but I was very impressed with Perry all weekend standing tall when he needed to. Hopefully it's his big break like 2005-2006 was for Leggio.

Praise Cole Bardreau. As Icy noted on a different thread, Cole dove and got his stick in the way of the shot.

Clarkson played great. That was their 6th game in 10 days (!!!), and until the overtime they never let up the pressure.

Casey's got the program back on track, and that is great news for the ECAC.

(and bad news for Cornell)

Not at all. Better opponents (particularly our traditional rivals) --> better conference --> better for us.

Yeah, I understand the sour taste, daredevilcu. I know we Cornell fans would have had the same reaction, because we did in past "the whistle blew" or "intent to whistle" rulings that have burned us. Here are the two photos that would have most fans shaking heads if it happened to them.

First a pic of the scrum that led to the lengthy video review. Not sure if the ruling after review was that the refs didn't see it cross the line or the whistle had blown:

Second, the save that got carried into the net. Whistle had blown.

Proof to Cornell fans that we're not always the victims of quick whistles.

Perry was great positionally all weekend.
