2019-01-04: Cornell 3 Princeton 2

[Swampy]

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.

I think our presence would have them coming out flying in any case. We've got to bring our A game to make up for the fluke at Lynah.

In other news, besides Onion giving #1 St. SCSU a 7-2 whupping, Canisius is beating those NoDak characters 2-1 late in the 3rd.

Controversial finish in Cambridge. Harvard wins 3-2 on an OT goal that came off an angled skate but not a clear kick-in.

Meanwhile, I switched to Gophers - Penn State in time to see a Penn State goal that should end up on SportsCenter to tie the game at 1. Guy comes up solo down the right wing, cuts inside and breaks the defenseman's ankles, but starts slipping in the process himself. As he goes down, he flicks a wrister that beats the goalie top shelf to the glove-side. Gorgeous.

Good recap of the goal. No biggie, but the goalie is a righty since his glove is in the right hand.

I changed it while you were typing because I realized that I don't actually know whether a righty would wear the glove on the right or left hand, but the Gopher goalie has the glove on his left hand (so does the PSU goalie).

I'm a lefty so I pay attention to these things

I am confused?  a right hander in hockey wears his glove on his right hand?  i thought the dominate hand holds the stick not the glove?

Sorry, the glove WAS in his left hand, so he is indeed a righty. I mistyped my response.

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

We have had their number.

what i find interesting about the review is that the cornell recap says we called a TO to get the review.. I know there have been other games we were not allowed to do that.  I thought it was part of the process but it still seems to be up to the refs to decide.

the fact that refused then did it and then over ruled it it must have been pretty blatant in their eyes that they were wrong.  from the tv angle it didnt seem like much happened from the cornell persepective.

[upprdeck]

also pretty crazy cornell had gone almost 20 yrs without a game with no penalty..

And at least 10 years for a controversial call to go our way?

I can tell you that at the rink nobody could figure out what the hell the infraction was that made them call off the goal.  We were going through all the options (interference, high stick, offsides), but nobody knew for sure and the announcer never said.

As to the lack of calls, let's just say that the refs either missed a lot or chose not to call a lot.  Because I certainly saw a lot of penalties going both ways.

The one frustrating thing was the TV timeouts.  They'd go through the first 12 minutes of a period without a whistle, It was wonderful.  But they then managed to jam three TV timeouts into a 2-1/2 minute span so they got them all in.  Ugh.

Can anyone here shed light on when the refs can and can't call for a TV time out? I assume it can't be after an icing infraction. It seems like it should never be allowed during a penalty but my memory is that I've seen TV breaks during some penalties.  

So:
A) is my aged memory faulty?
B) are there guidelines?
C) is it at the scorer's or timekeeper's discretion?
D) is it at the refs discretion?
E) can the refs overrule the scorer/timekeeper?
F) A & B
G) all of the above
F) none of the above

For extra credit,  just what are the duties of those guys at the table during the game?

Arthur?

Percentage of games Mike Schafer has coached where Cornell was called for zero penalties: approaches the null set?

Percentage of Schafer-era years where the coach was not behind the bench and Cornell had zero penatlies called: one in five maybe?

Can't take a TV timeout after an icing or during a penalty.  Can take one after a penalty has been called (and no team is currently on the power play).  Also no TV timeout after a goal is scored.  That's it.  If they make it to the 10-minute mark without having taken the 14-minute mark timeout, then the next two whistles will be TV timeouts (unless there is an icing, ongoing power play, or goal).
