Bad first period, great second period, and decent third period.  I like how Cornell played after giving up the second Clarkson goal - they kept driving the play and did not sit back.  Officiating was a joke.  I usually like Dell, but tonight he was brutal.  I have no clue as to how he didn't call that player for spearing Krantz in the third period.  The guy should have been shown the door right away.  It was a blatant attempt to injure.  Instead Dell gives him 2 for slashing.  What made it better was that Cornell was called for two penalties in the next minute ultimately leading to the first Clarkson goal.  
My 3 Stars for Cornell:
1. Knoepfli
2. Sawada
3. Krantz

Not Moulson?

His goal was unbelievable, but iuntil the goal, I thought he struggled to adjust to the much added attention to him.  But his goal was clutch and just plain awesome.

So, what's our all-time record vs. Clarkson now?

[Will]

Still a losing record, I'm afraid. :-/  But at least we're wearing it down.

[calgARI '07]

That Clarkson team was just as dirty and bush league as Dartmouth.

I think that was a new penalty...let's call it Castration. I watched the game on TV & it was pretty brutal -- much worse on the replay. There's no place for that in any sport. The Clarkson kid should have been ejected and should be suspended.

Clarkson played hard, though I think they're the dirtiest team in the ECACHL, and pretty much out-everythinged Cornell in the 1st period. It was surprising how the momentum shifted after the cheap shot. I was surprised Cornell didn't put them away -- those penalities hurt after Krantz got whacked.

It wasn't pretty, but it's 2 pts. Need a more complete effort Saturday night.

Btw, is there an official statistic for turnovers?

I know watching on TV doesn't give you the full picture but did anyone else feel that O'byrne looked lost out on the ice.   He had a hard time getting the puck out from behind our net all night and made some scary decisions when he felt trapped.  Is he playing hurt or is it a confidence issue?

that is for clarkson listing the games. i think the program usually has the records in it all time....

[calgARI '07]

O'Byrne is a very hit or miss player.  Sometimes, he looks like he could be in the NHL, whereas others, he is lost as you described it.  He's getting more consistent, but with Cook and Downs both done after this year, O'Byrne will really need to step up.

44-46-9.

Schafer is 16-9-1 as a coach.

I'm going to refrain from commenting on the dirtiness in general, but that one play was one of the worst things I've seen in a long time. Shoulda been a major and a game DQ, no doubt. Intent to injure, from behind, unprovoked, served no purpose, totally inappropriate. That's not even allowed in the WWF (or, WWE now).

Just wondering for those who watched on CSTV...

How'd the Faithful appear and sound for the national audience?

[Will]

For that matter, how did Lynah look?  As I recall, it usually looks like crap on TV.
