Quinnipiac QF

[Trotsky]

I have been watching Cornell hockey games for 50 years.  I am just thankful that I can remember any of the details!

37.  Tell me about it.

[sah67]

According to the Quinnipiac Chronicle, Pecknold refused to speak to the media after the game. He also didn't let his players talk. [www.quchronicle.com]

That QU Chronicle article is awful - but hey.


I agree with Rich on Princeton and Northeastern. The only real difference between the two is Northeastern's goalie - Cayden Primeau, Keith's son. Both him and Ferland (Princeton) are freshmen, but Ferland is not always sharp.

It was not a playoff game but I remember a game in the early 80's against Yale where a Bertrand team was up 9-0 in the first period.  Bertrand pulled the goalie on a faceoff in the Yale end.  He said he wanted to "practice" playing 6 on 5....

Dick Bertrand before he dicks you.

Note Yale's first period goalie.

I was there '71 to '77, so I missed that game.  But I do remember, perhaps from an article in the Sun, that Bertrand tried to determine in practice how fast you could score into an open net from a face-off in the far end, assuming you won the face-off cleanly and got off an immediate shot.  I don't remember the exact time, but it was something like 2.8 seconds, meaning that with anything less on the clock, there was no down side to pulling your goalie for an extra skater with an offensive-zone face-off.

It's a typical class act by Pecknold to stiff student journalists from his own school who drove 5 hours to Ithaca and just watched their team lose, 9-1.

All games, Cornell 5+ goals in any period:

Nineteen of these games took place during my four years at Cornell ('74-78). Looking through the CU program, I also noted that 10 of our 100-point scorers played during that era, including the top three (Nethery, Tredway, Kerling). Those were the days when college hockey was much more wide open and we scored a ton of goals and gave  up a ton as well.

[Jim Hyla]

Having just watched the highlight video, it's wow, how bad was the Q defense. We had a break or two, but many of the goals were gimmes by Q.

I don't expect that they'll play like that tonight and the big issue, to me, is how will their defense play? If Shortridge still can't play, anyone hear what was his problem, then it's back to Petruzzelli. None of their goalies are great, save%s around 90%, but he's got to be better tonight. How much better can the rest of the team play defense?

[Jim Hyla]

And then there's the ECAC link to an article about the Detroit Red Wings..........

"Goalie prospect Keith Petruzzelli showing legitimate potential for Red Wings with Quinnipiac"

[Jim Hyla]

Finally, the Q recap for the ECAC site, No. 2 Cornell Pulls Away from QU in First Game of ECAC Quarterfinal Series.

That was quite a pull.

Reading other ECAC team recaps makes me happy that CU could grab Brandon Thomas from The IJ, when, I guess, The IJ decided to downsize CU hockey coverage. To me he's the best from the schools.

[Jim Hyla]

Ok, finally again. The Q30 TV recap pointed out an interesting stat. Brendan Smith had 9 blocked shots, which is just 1 less than the whole Q team. No question why he's on the first defense.

Quinnipiac "outshot" us 54-41, but we got more shots on goal, 32-18. lol

Downsize??   Most weeks, it's nonexistent!!   Of course, what do we expect when Gannett has almost no presence in Ithaca these days!!   It is NOT the local newspaper of Ithaca any more.

The other WHCU Cornell sports broadcaster was Sam Woodside. He seemed ancient when I was in school, which means Sam was probably in his 50s [correction, 60s]. My recall was Sam's attribute was more enthusiastim than any other vector like being a threat to Bob Costas. Actually, I see he had just wound down his career when I was at Cornell and I see Cornell also quite well captured Sam.

From the Cornell Hall of Fame archives http://cornellbigred.com/hof.aspx?hof=256&path=&kiosk=

[Sam Woodside] covered Cornell sports for a span of five decades, first as a writer for the Syracuse Post-Standard, the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle in the 1930s, and then as an announcer for radio station WHCU from 1940 until his retirement in 1971. He was play-by-play announcer for Cornell football, basketball and hockey games; also provided on the spot coverage of crew races.

A living legend because of his unique style of broadcasting, he served the athletic teams and the University faithfully as their ambassador of good will. In addition, he was involved in numerous activities for the city of Ithaca. He was chairman of the Advisory Council of the Youth Bureau; for many years chairman of the Independence Day celebration at Schoellkopf Field; campaign chairman for the Community Chest (forerunner of the United Fund), and as a director of the Reconstruction Home. He has been promotional and Business Manager of Syracuse Invitational Hockey Tournament for several years and assisted the athletic department with football ticket promotions. In 1946 he was named sports director and assistant manager of WHCU.

Finally, the Q recap for the ECAC site, No. 2 Cornell Pulls Away from QU in First Game of ECAC Quarterfinal Series.

By the time they got to the end they were either not describing the goals at all or just making it up. The description of Vanderlaan's second goal is "his second goal of the game"; there's this poorly edited word salad "Beau Starrett scored his Fiegl earned his third assist of the game"; and Haiskanen did not score "on a slapshot" - it was a back door tip in.

hmm

The Bobcats have lost the first game in an ECAC Tournament series nine times since 2006. They have gone 7-1 in game two the previous eight times.

[Tom_Hamill]

That third Cornell goal was one of the most offensively perfect things I've ever seen a Cornell team do.  Absolute hockey gold.
