Smith, Locke, Andreev back.

Green, Galajda still out

Schafer is out sick.

I just discovered that the WHCU audio (over the internet) and the tv audio (ESPN+) are very close to being in sync.  I'm listening to Jason instead of the homer Princeton announcers..

Thank you, these guys are insufferable.

The Princeton color guy can't put a sentence together.

The officiating in this game was funny

[ugarte]

Wild end. Refs made the right call on review. Princeton D initiated contact with Regush, who pushed back, leading to minimal contact with Ferlin. McCrea's seeing-eye shot was nice and Regush should get an assist for the screen. So should Syer, for convincing the refs to review the play. I'm sure he was incredulous when they said they wouldn't review it. If goals are all reviewed, a puck that went in the net should get a look even if your instinct is no goal.

When it was waved off, the Princeton crew couldn't figure out why. Once they saw a replay that had an angle with the contact, the reaction was basically "Huh. Really. I *guess* that's interference?" But they also quickly concluded that it should stand because there was a bump. Then, when it was reversed it was highway robbery and the refs were stealing the game. As I said in the chat, I assume the review included one official saying to the guy who made the call "you've got to be fuckin' kidding me."

Great win. A follow-up tomorrow would be huge.

A unique game, over nine minutes from drop of the puck to first whistle, and no penalties called the entire game.

[dbilmes]

Meanwhile, Quinnipiac scores 3 goals in first 12 minutes, holds 4-2 lead in third period, and loses in OT to Colgate. They are going to come out Saturday night flying on all cylinders.

[margolism]

The no penalties against us certainly was huge since Princeton converts on a third of their PP opportunities.  I don't recall seeing a game where the penalty boxes didn't get occupied at least once.

[Swampy]

And 'Gate beat Q in OT.

I would have preferred to have it end in a tie. The extra time would make Q more tired for tomorrow, and its RPI would be higher.

[upprdeck]

They left quite a few penalties go uncalled thats for sure..  but top say the refs changed the outcome of the game like they complained is a stretch.   taking away a clear goal would have been a bad thing as well..

i thought the first and third cornell played pretty well.  2nd half the second was really sloppy, too many TOs in bad spots under almost no pressure.

all in all for a first game back nice effort

[margolism]

And a regular season sweep of the defending ECAC champs who we lost to up at Lake Placid.
