I've seen teams score during "O Canada" (Hahvahd at Bright and Lake Placid in 1996.)

Yale did it a few years ago: http://www.collegehockeystats.com/0001/boxes/mcoryal1.d01

That was before they decided to speed up a game that didn't need speeding up. It's likely the band had finished it by the time that goal was scored.

do you think moulson will have trouble this year without vesce? he lookes a little sluggish last night

[sockralex]

Did everybody catch the 'Kill-Topher-Kill' cheer?  I think the inherent humor would make that a keeper.  Although it might degrade the cheer for when we do it for Schafer chewing out refs or any one of the number of big hitters we have this year actually destroying players.

Really though, has a freshman ever won over the Faithful as quickly as Topher Scott has? He is really fun to watch. For those not at the game, it seems like every time he touches the puck, people start cheering wildly. He also did a GREAT job on faceoffs.

Can anyone tell me what the line combinations and D combinations were tonight- Schafer was mixing it up during the McGill game?  Thanks!

Actually, I remember it happening, because I was there.  I don't know if the band was playing or if the crowd was chanting at the exact moment of the goal (likely the latter), but I do remember being interrupted in the middle of Gary Glitter by a Yale goal.

Yup, I recall it as well, it definitely did happen, and I remembered it was Yale.

Moulson has definitely put on some muscle in the off season.  I think it will take him a while to adjust to the bigger frame.

 [Q2]Army is even worse than McGill. McCutcheon had another very good game. Not too many players stood out though. Pokuluk could turn out to be one of the top blueliners in college hockey. The whole second line (Cam Abbott-Pegoraro-Sawada) failed to record points tonight, but every other Cornell forward scored. Defense jumped into the play a lot more tonight than they ever did last season. Very sold on the third and fourth lines but not yet sold on the first and second lines. Was not particularly impressed with Moulson or Cam Abbott.[/Q]
I guess we weren't watching the same game.  McCutcheon was alright tonight but how many penalties did he have like 4.  Cam Abbott played a great game, just because he doesn't score you are not impressed?  Something he showed me tonight is that he has some serious drive.  Did anyone catch the pass to himself off the back of the net in the second?  That was somthing I used to see Martin StLouis do all the time, good stuff.  The guys that I think stood out the most tonight were Shane hynes and Ryan O'byrne.  They really looked like they gained strength, skill, and patience in the offseason.  I can't wait to see more of this.[/q]

McCutcheon and his line generated the most scoring chances of any line and was on the ice for more Cornell goals than any other line.  I agree that he took a bad penalty in the first period, although I wasn't sure why he was killing a penalty in the first place.  As for Cam Abbott, he was not nearly as dangernous as he was against McGill.  Considering McCutcheon didn't score (he got one assist) and I was still very impressed with his play, my assessment on not being particularly impressed with Abbott because he didn't score as you said probably doesn't stand up too well.  Against McGill, I noticed Abbott every time he was the ice.  Against Army, that whole line didn't gel all that well.  I do think he and Pegoraro showed some good chemistry though.

and any ideas as to why they broke up the abbott-abbott telekenesis?

I can't say for sure, but I'd have my doubts about a Varteressian-Pegoraro-McCutcheon line.
