Cornell 5 at Harvard 3 FINAL

[Chris 02]

I think the Harvard annoucners mentioned something about a scrum/fight behind the net during the 3rd Harvard goal that might have been the reason for the discussion.  The goal was going to stand, it was just whether they were going to give out a penalty.  Not sure of this, so if anyone else knows, feel free to chime in.

[Section A]

From the Cornell/Harvard recap that is up on USCHO (and very well-written, I might add):

"Walsh's shot rang the inside post, and popped back out so quickly that Kotyra thought it hadn't gone in and signaled a washout — not a goal — as the Crimson celebrated and Big Red stood by.

But after conferring with his linesmen, Kotyra reversed his call and the goal stood. (CSTV replays were not used in the review, but replays showed the puck did, in fact, go in.)"

I like to go back and read the whole recap after watching the game.  I usually don't comment on the in-game comments because, well, what's the point. But...

No goal...McKee had covered the puck.  Even the biased Harvahd announcers admit it.

I think it is fair to say that McKee tried to cover the puck, and it is clear that there was a whistle (so there was no goal), but that was a really quick whistle. McKee never had control of the puck.  

The play reminded me of the Andison no-goal in the 1990 ECAC semis against RPI.

Some thoughts from a CSTV viewer:
Also unsung, the fourth line, which just doesn't seem to make mistakes.  Carefoot has been great on the PK and McCutcheon pretty damn good also.

The fourth line may have put forth the most important shift of the night.  Just after Harvard was buzzing McKee incessantly for the tying goal at 4-3, these kids came out and simply jumped all over Harvard, controlling the puck behind and in front of the Harvard net for more than 30 seconds and just missing getting the clinching goal.  Having shifted the momentum back to us, they yielded on-the-fly to the Vesce line who controlled the puck in the Harvard end for nearly 50 seconds until Moulson shook loose in front, took a feed from behind the net, and potted the clincher.

Thanks for killing any possible suspense, Jason!  ::pissed::

Oh, come on! Anyone who frequents this site already knows the outcome of that game.

There's also the "RE: Cornell 5 at Harvard 3 FINAL" subject line...

Besides, I already have it on video.  (Thanks again, Lorie if you read this)

The August follow-up to this thread would have been modestly more fun to read had there been a new thread started that didn't headline the final score. You recall the blonde joke about her losing bar bets on the outcome of instant replays. ("Incredible. I lost the same bet on the 5 o'clock news.") Same here. Some of us are forgetful enough that we don't recall who won or, more likely, that Cornell got the win, but we're not quite sure what the score was.

Now to find a TV free for taping the hockey game since the rest of our clan is all going to be curled up in front of the Olympics, watching the up close and personal stories about Olympians who've overcome personal tragedy in their lives en route to the Olympics. Just once I'd like to see a profile about some wealthy WASP with blonde hair and straight teeth whose only personal tragedy was not getting into the right eating club at Princeton but who still managed overcome that adversity to make the fours-with-cox crew.

That's why God allowed TiVo to be invented - so we can fast forward through the drivel and see the 100 meter dash, all 10 seconds of it. Or it lets my wife fast forward through the race and get back to the personal-tragedy-overcome stuff.

The one personal adversity overcome part I like is that the Olympic village has a first class medical / dental center, and for athletes from emerging countries, it's a great chance to get your teeth fixed up right. Even our poor athletes who're reduced to working in Home Depot are a lot better off than many others.

Just happened to catch the last 10 minutes of this game earlier on tv...is there any indication as to which games might be on CSTV this season, now that I finally live somewhere that the local cable carries it?

Just talking out of my ass, but I don't think they release the ECAC TV schedule until late Fall.
