QF Game 3, Game Thread

oh my god...

Shots 12-6 Clarkson in 2nd period.

And the pp looked good for about 20 seconds.  I can't believe how inept the guys look tonight.  Clarkson looks faster and more aggressive.  Their passing is crisp and creative, while we seem to just fling the puck around at random.

"They've been outplayed all game. They deserve to be down two-nothin'. Fuckin' brutal."

You said it, brutha. (And I forgive you. )

Even after the LAZYASS 1ST PERIOD WE PLAYED, WE COME OUT AND GET OUTPLAYED, OUTHUSTLED OUTSHOT OUTEVERYTHING in the 2nd period...Schafer has lost control of his team.

The PP was awful last night with Pegoraro.  Mike put Salmela in as a seventh d-man just for the PP.  That, unfortunately, means he doesn't have four full lines playing.

WE'RE GONNA NEED A MIRACLE!!! ::nut::

 [/Q]Salmela has a heavy shot from the point.  Not that we ever get the puck to the point.  Or that he bothers to shoot when he gets it.  Or that anyone is in position for rebounds.

This is an old school ass-kicking and we have 20 minutes to turn it around.

BRA, I agree wholeheartedly with you and Adam.  It's too bad we're down 2-0, but Cornell has just played like crap the last 5 periods, and indeed deserves to be losing at this point, no matter how much we might not like it.

I *knew* this weekend wasn't going to be a cakewalk: during my time on the Hill (94-98), Clarkson was our *real* rival, being the one team that could consistently give us a hard time without it being some kind of karmic retribution (e.g., with Union).  I must admit, even with the loss last night and them losing right now, I am enjoying this weekend much more than some I've watched over the past year.  Maybe it's just nostalgia.

Cheers,
Kyle

It's not that he has disappeared, it's that Clarkson has keyed in on him.

Clarkson's on a mission -- we need to have the same jump, and I'm afraid we're also going to need to get the breaks.  But it can certainly be done.  2 goals leads aren't unassailable -- just ask Yale.

[LynahFaithfulS]

my audio and video cut out just as the clarkson guy fell (and stayed) down...anyone know what happened??

[atb9]

We're all thinking that, Adam W.  I hope the FCC doesn't fine you a half million!  :-P

The scoreboard isn't showing the Too Many Men penalty on Clarkson at 20:00.  Can anyone confirm there was a call?

Thought they were complaining about a no-call on Cornell.

[Mike Hedrick 01]

He was hit pretty hard by the point shot.
