[Trotsky]

8:14 to go and Toronto's goalie got ejected for tackling Donaldson.

The major was announced as being for "kicking."

When you are wearing knives on your feet, isn't that attempted murder?

Sure, though that was after the body-slam. Probably went from a minor to a major/game misconduct.

Yikes. Kempf with a giveaway right in front of Katz who makes the stop.

Direct Yogi-esque quote: "You always talk about the defensemen who you never mention their names."

[Trotsky]

LOL Castagna's just too good.

What a pretty turn and snipe. I look forward to seeing what he can do against a defense.

[ugarte]

BAH Katz hung out to dry on a 2 on 1 and gives up a shorty. 6-2 Red. Castagna almost made it 7-2 on another incredible move.

[Trotsky]

That last Castagna rush was very Nieuwy.

Edit: Elite Prospects has Castagna and Nieuwendyk at exactly 6-2 203, left handed-shooting Centers.

Noticed UT had a #5 Dirven, and it looks like it's Sebastian's younger brother.

Maybe the cameras are just better, but the Lynah lighting looks significantly brighter.

He is. Jason mentioned they look nearly like twins.

A real shame Rayhill couldn't convert on that power play chance in the second: it looked like almost the entire bench was commiserating with him after that.

It was funny how obvious it was that they were trying to get him a goal. Not often do you see a 5 foot 9 d man on the crease for a 5 on 3 PP. Hopefully he gets the call again on senior night and buries one then.

Fun little nugget from the game notes:  Cornell has now gone 25-0-2 in its last 27 exhibition games.  The Big Red's last EX loss was back in 2009, and the opposing goaltender was... Andy Iles (US Under-18 team)

Sebastian was in the crowd

[fastforward]

I saw a lot of empty seats despite the "sold out"
status
While we won the battle it didn't seem to have the usual excitement. Maybe it's due to it being an exhibition game ?
I think the guys will be having hard practices this week as there's definitely some work to do before next weekend
Just my opinion
