This doesn't have anything to do with tonight's game, but what the heck. From the article on Matthew Nuttle:

Q: Canisius and Niagara are in that area, but Buffalo isn't exactly a huge college hockey town yet. Did you have exposure to college hockey as a kid?
A: Actually, my first exposure to college hockey was when the Frozen Four was in Buffalo in 2003 when Cornell was in the Frozen Four. I went and saw Cornell play, and Michigan and Minnesota played the other game, which I went to too. So that was actually my first taste of Cornell hockey. I actually remember the band being there and everything. It was pretty cool.

Q: So did that stay with you through the years, or is it kind of a coincidence that you ended up here?
A: Yeah, I would say it stuck with me throughout the years. Obviously at the time, I was 8 years old, so I didn't know much about college hockey or anything. But I remember all the fans and everything, so that's something that's kind of always stuck with me.

So play and cheer like hell.

Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit.

we are really walking wounded this weekend

Knisley back in the lineup, at least.

Great to see Cornell get a win over a top 20 team!  Record against the current top 20 in the USCHO poll is a more than respectable 1-1-2.

After the game, the Cornell Hockey twitter feed posted a picture of Dwight Schrute jumping in the air and pumping his fist.  I couldn't help but think that if they wanted to illustrate celebrating a Cornell win, they picked the wrong character from "The Office".

St. Lawrence pulled its goalie at least a minute later than it was supposed to.

¿Where is the goal pulling rule found? Are you pulling my leg or....?

Hayton went off with only 36 seconds to go. From the radio it didn't sound like we pinned him in net by controlling the puck either. That's probably 30-60 seconds later than typical I think.

Since when can the refs award penalty shots based on reviewing video to determine if a play resulted in a goal or not? Is that a recent rule change?

The following is from the game recap here: http://cornellbigred.com/news/2015/12/4/MICE_1204152520.aspx

"But the lead would stand up, mostly because of a wild sequence with 11:01 to play in the third. Gillam made a save on a long shot from Nolan Gluchowski, then Woody Hudson's whack at another rebound was blocked. One last effort came from Lough who had Gillam beat, but Cornell defenseman Ryan Bliss made the stop on his knees in the crease and swiveled his legs around to keep the puck from crossing the line. Video review was inconclusive to overturn the original on-ice ruling of no goal, but Bliss was also deemed to have played the puck with his hands in the crease — resulting in a penalty shot. Lough took the attempt and made a move to his forehand which Gillam stopped."

So the play is ruled a no-goal on the ice, and no penalty is called. But after reviewing the play the refs decide to award a penalty shot. I had no idea they could do that.

[KeithK]

The box lists the Bliss penalty that led to the penalty shot as "Handling Puck with Hands". I think I know what happened (he covered the puck in the crease) but I don't think I've ever heard that term before. Am I just clueless?

From the radio broadcast it sounded like they had decided to award a penalty shot before going in to look at the video to determine whether a goal had been scored.
