ECAC Quarterfinals at Colgate

[stereax]

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Yes, that was just one nice touch.

It was like having Bob Newhart do the game.

That was so dumb of Colgate to shove Psenicka right in front of the referee.

I might have taught my seven-year-old the "Bite me, Harder" cheer when he started jawing about that.

There was 100% an 'F' at the beginning of the first word of this. Harder - great player, great guy - but still the funniest expletive-included chant I ever heard.

Come on, she's seven.  I have to censor myself a little!

Jesus Christ she was a newborn like 15 minutes ago.

Early admission to TUM yet?

Let us honor "the guy" by calling him by name: John McGraw. He's been calling Colgate hockey games since 2007 (as a radio PBP 2007-2019).

Beats Bob Norton.

IIRC Grady mentioned he was a fellow IC grad.
