ECAC Quarterfinals at Colgate

[stereax]

The nod to the Syracuse Hockey Invitational Tournament is such a wonderful insider joke. Awful, awful tournament. But how else would I have seen Gallagher scraping up puke?

I declare him "one of us," by which I mean ECAC lovers of "remember that obscure player or moment" conversations.

What the fuck? Please explain...

Once upon a time, there was an awful hockey tournament held at the War Memorial in Syracuse called the Syracuse Invitational Tournament. Close, but awful. ECAC insiders called it the Syracuse Hockey Invitational Tournament. The kind of place where their PA system fails, so the Cornell fans have to lead others in singing the national anthems a cappella.

We were up watching us play Providence one year, and in, I think, the beginning of the first overtime, the Providence goalie just pulled up his helmet and yakked all over the place. A hated ECAC ref of the day, Gallagher, had to scrape it up so the game could go on. We got a picture; someone has it somewhere. I think the goalie stayed in!

Noted offensive talent David Adler won it on an fluky deflected floater in the second overtime. I kind of felt bad for the Providence kid, because he had left it all on the ice.

What the fuck... the SHIT, eh?

Just checked the box on Trotsky's site. This all happened, but it was the third overtime. The Colgate play-by-play guy would've gotten that right the first time.

"Trotsky's site" haha. No, this is a wild story actually. college hockey, man.

ftr this is trotsky's site

I know, I'm just wondering if he actually runs the thing...

. In a flash as he was about the control it for a chance at the score an Colgate player jumped from the bench to stop his progress.

And it was a  7th Colgate skater who jumped on to stop him!

I have seen the "automatic goal awarded" a few times before when a player is hauled down on a breakaway heading towards an empty net (i.e. a penalty shot situation), but I've never seen it as a result of a blatant "too many men" call in the neutral zone. Although after checking the box score, I see that the penalty assessed on Colgate was actually a minor for "illegal substitution." A quick further review of the rules shows that if a "deliberate illegal substitution" is made during the last 2 minutes of regulation or during overtime, a penalty shot can be awarded. And since the net was empty, they just decided to award the goal automatically instead.

So this means I should officially watch a replay. Hot damn. Yeah, I know of auto awarding goals if penalties against players occur that impede them from hitting an empty net (this happened to the Devils' Hischier a year or two back), but 7th man on is a new one.

Never seen that before.

Woody Hayes play without the punch.

What happened? No tv for me, and I doubt whatever it was will be on the highlights (assuming they get posted.)

It probably will be in the highlights because a goal was awarded.  The power play was winding down.  The net was empty and Bancroft freed the puck along the boards. In a flash as he was about the control it for a chance at the score an Colgate player jumped from the bench to stop his progress.

I have never before seen this in hockey.

Thank you.  That's...uh, pretty ridiculous.

See It Here

You can almost see Bancroft going "what the fuck?" in real time HAHAHAHA. Stanley calling the play funny as hell too.

[Trotsky]

Jack Parker did this with the lead once IINM.  Deliberate too many men penalty to force a stoppage and a face off.  Got away with it, too.

Poor Bergsland puts an exclamation point on the weekend series but for Cornell and not his (formerly Red) Raiders.

Thanks for your sacrifice, Bergsland.

Happened pretty quickly. I bet he just instinctively jumped and then felt foolish shortly afterwards.

Can't really disagree, but...watching the replay the player that jumped came from right between Harder and another coach. Either of them could have sent him.

Apparently the rule they instituted to award penalty shots when it happens in the final minutes (or in OT) was a direct result of Parker (and some other coaches) doing exactly that as a strategy.

I was just going to post this too!

[scoop85]

What a day to be a Cornell sports fan! Lacrosse, basketball, women's hockey, men's hockey!

...and all four teams coached by Cornell alums; add in wrestling and you've got quite the spring season for former Cornell athletes at their alma mater.  I can't remember a better 24 hours for the school's teams.

The last time we had a similar weekend was March 2010 when the men won the ECAC's, women were in the Frozen Four, men's hoops won the Ivies, men's lax won their game, and wrestling (as usual) was kicking butt.

I'm sure you're right, but man, that sounds like Shawn Walsh.

This announcer is good, don't get me wrong. But as scoop85 said, he is exhausting. Every so often I have to hit mute to take a break since he never gives us one. He'd do well with a color commentator but he also needs to allow for silence from time to time.

i like it. feels like a radio guy.

There's a lot to be said for radio-style play-by-play in live streaming video sports coverage.  People consume streams in a variety of ways, and someone might have the stream on while working in the kitchen or driving, or the video quality of either their device or the feed might not be very good.  If the commentary doesn't assume everyone's actively watching the video all the time, it becomes much more useful.

Sure, but that's what audio is for.

I loved it, personally.  I was charmed by his warm-hearted idiocy.  And he seriously knew his shit -- he made many Cornell hockey deep cuts that were clearly extemp, not notes.

I chuckled when with stoppage at 3:16 left in the game he noted "that's tomorrow" in absolutely seemless fashion.  The guy had it all.
