Cornell @ Princeton 7-0 FINAL

[Q]Once agian, i2sports only does home games... people will remember it eventually .
And it wasn't just RealAudio, of course, it was WHCU . Same thing happened on the AM signal.[/Q]Yep, again don't shoot the (internet) messenger. The message comes through as broadcast. For those of us who sometimes listen to the broadcast while watching a home game, we realize how much after a faceoff can be missed. I believe it was Greg who commented on the same a couple of years ago when one could watch the hockey cam and listen to the broadcast.

Umm. That's an impressive trick, since Age was standing next to me last night in Baker Rink. B-]

(Age has no middle initial. ACM is everyone's favorite PA announcer Arthur.)

Adam was blaming it on the "15-seconds-and-then-drop-the-puck-no-matter-what" rule.

[Greg Berge]

Which apparently is now 18 seconds or something.

Sorry folks. I know none of us like missing goals, believe me. ... We need to get in 2 30-second spots per period -- which we cut down from 3 last year.  When there's 7 goals, of course the odds increase of missing one. :-) ... With the 18-second rule (was 15 last year), you try to time these things as best you can - wait for neutral-zone draws, etc...   The first goal was off a draw in the Cornell end.  You figure you're safe in terms of missing a Cornell goal. ... But they won the faceoff and Vesce just bolted down the ice and scored. ... The second one was an offensive zone draw.  You try to avoid those, but we were running way behind in spots. ... Many schools with less popular support don't sell many ads, and don't take breaks during periods.  The teams that sell out all their ad time have to squeeze in breaks during the periods.

NHL games also have the 15-second rule these days - but all those games are also on TV - so there's mandatory TV timeouts. Either 3 or 4 per period.
