ECAC '25 Final Red vs. Clarkson

[arugula]

Never in doubt eh folks?

I spent the last 30 minutes of the game praying to god and ian shane

Pulling what's left of my hair out.

why cant the icing be waived off early?  If the dude thinks cornell was clearly going to win the race to dot he doesnt have to wait for the dot to make the decision,

Maybe I have the rule wrong then? I thought icing cannot be waived off for that reason.

I haven't checked the rule, but I believe the linesman has broad discretion as to when he can waive off the icing if he believes the offensive player is sufficiently ahead of the defender

For the purpose of interpretation of this rule, icing is completed the instant the puck crosses the goal line, unless an attacking player, who is onside at the blue line and with no opponent between that player and the goal line and is clearly in position to be the first player to touch the puck. Icing shall not be called in this situation. This decision by the official shall be made no later than the first player reaching the end zone faceoff dots. If the puck enters the goal in this situation, icing shall not be called and a goal shall be awarded.

So, the ref called it at the right time for college. Maybe in the NHL it's a touch-up rule but they're a little more careful in the NCAA.

Unlike last night's game where Cornell clearly had the better of the play, today's was a coin flip. I feel fortunately things broke out way.

Clarkson gave us so much room in the first, and we cashed in. I still feel Mack wants that breakaway back that could have pushed it to 3-0 - his roofed shot had Langenegger beat.  

Had Clarkson played like they did in the 2nd, things are different.

Agreed. Cornell absolutely dominated the first 10 minutes or so, and Clarkson dominated for about 10 minutes of the second, but the rest felt like they were trading a few strong shifts at a time, and both goaltenders played well.

That gorgeous 2 on 1 in the first and Clarkson just barely missing on that late 2nd period PP when Cornell was scrambling was the difference.

going to watch the highlights but i may need to watch the first seven minutes in real time just for the vibes of what i missed on the road.

Castagna was a beast this weekend.

I thought that Cornell coming up with the puck off the board scrums was outstanding.  Clarkson created chaos and controlled play right before they scored and things could have turned then but Cornell didn't roll over.  

Watching it in real time was so impressive that I couldn't say it out loud to the two fans I was with.   I finally let it out after time expired in the third.

How the hell they almost never let Clarkson grab the puck of those board scrums isn't something I can understand.  The team this weekend found high gear and very rarely let its foot off the gas.

Hats off to the team and the coaching staff.

Castagna was a beast this weekend.

Yes. That's the Castagna I want to see. Just great.  Wonder if he was playing hurt.

Shoutout to Jane McNally for her superb coverage of our games, doing double duty for both the Sun and College Hockey News. And Josh Seguin had an excellent piece in CHN on Kovich's improbable SHG against QU. Thanks to Adam for providing about the only quality source of college hockey news anywhere.

And for those who aren't aware, Adam is BU PxP man Bernie Corbett's guest every Sunday at 9 a.m. ET on the NHL network's college hockey radio show on Sirius/XM where they discuss the latest developments in college hockey. And yesterday morning after Adam's segment Corbett interviewed Schafer about his pending retirement and Schafer's coaching career. The interview was recorded before the QU game, so that tale had yet to be told.

After Max Andreev was injured crashing into the end wall while racing for an icing call, Schafer criticized the ref for being too late with the whistle.

McNally is amazing, how is she able to produce two separate non-redundant articles within a couple of hours after the game ends?

Is the Adam/Schafer interview available online anywhere?

has archives of both our own, and Bernie's show (at the bottom). Though it looks like his producer didn't upload this weekend's one to our site yet.

I was thinking the Pecknold cup should go to whichever team knocks off the #1 seed.

OMG this is so going to be a TBRW page!  ::deadhorse::
