 Thanks, Drew.  Your boys gave us a hell of a game.  Let's hope the Red use it as a wake up call for Albany.

God bless Dave McKee.[/q]

well, what a game to drive 3 hrs to after an overnight call - i slept on the way. driving back was easy. not a bad trip from buffalo to ithaca. a few points:

1. hats off to clarkson for playing a solid game. there were stretches of the game where they had hold and control of play in the offensive zone but most of their success last night came from taking advantage of cornell miscues, and there were many. the 1st goal was pretty bad. o'byrne had the puck behind the net and saw the clarkson player coming (latullipe i think). he went to deek right and shovel the puck left except on his deek right he lost the puck and it went thru mckee into the 5 hole and in front of the net -> tap in goal. rule #1 in defense, when it doubt dump the puck away from the net
2. the second goal dave let in was a GREAT shot. all he was given was upper 90 far post and that is exactly where he put it. inbelievable shot.
3. about mckee not seeming to play well, he seemed a little sloppy on controlling rebounds at time but he made some crazy saves. especially in the 3rd when clarkson turned up the heat. he has really impressed me on how much better he has gotten and i was the one telling everyone we would be fine in between the goal posts after lenny left he is SUCH a solid goalie.
4. the team played well at the end of the second and overall the 3rd period was played well by both teams. it takes heart to come back from spotting the team a goal to win in OT. great character builder game and it was a war on the ice. clarkson should take pride in that.
5. wish i could be in albany LGR!

Speaking of players trying to cheat in a little, or trying to launch a man-short breakaway: This week's or last week's Sports Illustrated says the basketball players with the highest steals averages often get there by taking too many chances and burning their teams.

Somehow I feel that's what Roll tells his players too...

I don't know about that...I think Roll is a cleaner coach than that.  But the upperclassmen were likely told that by Morris, probably in-between beatings. :-P

I don't know man. Maybe it's because all the coaches I've ever had were strict disciplinarians, but I do not believe that the kind of behaviour Clarkson players exhibit can go on without at least some approval from the coach.

And if indeed they are just ignoring his instructions to clean up their act, well, then things are even worse. A coach that encourages dirty play in his guys is bad enough, but a coach who cannot control his guys is completely worthless.

Clarkson is still the dirtiest/cheapest team I've ever seen play at Lynah.

Humble Guy that Jay Latulippe -- can't even leave the scene without hurling one more insult.

Its hard for me to see Cornell as winning on luck.    Clearly, it was Clarkson that got the lucky bounce early that got them in the game, and Clarkson which benefitted when Feola put away his wistle in the middle of the second period.  And they got one very lucky break in OT when Traylen left the net to play the puck, and the Clarkson defense had to make the save on Charlie Cook's shot.  

Now, I can see the guy saying something like "It was a hard fought, even game -- too bad someone had to lose..."  but to say that a team that beats you for the fourth time in a season "just got lucky"   is just nuts.

Apparently the Red was just really really lucky the night before,  and two weeks ago..

Great teams make their own luck  -- as do arrogant, dirty, undisciplined ones.

I'm pretty new to this sport -- first year with season tickets; still learning the rules -- so my comments may be a bit off.  But, I think Cam Abbott is the unsung hero of the weekend.  Very few (if any) players worked as hard as he did this weekend (not to detract from the other hard workers out there -- Moulson, who played the best defense I've seen form him so far this year; Topher, who never gives up...).  He may not have all of the moves as some of the other guys, but he's got ganas.  He earned the game-winning assist.  If the rest of the team could play with Cam's intensity all game, we'd be set.

He wanted to score so badly this weekend, you could tell.  The shot he had that rang off not one but both posts ripped my guts out.

Ditto about cam hitting the post... it truely sucked!

I also think Pegs deserves alot of credit for his play... he played his heart out!
