CU-Minnesota Game Thread

[French Rage]

The Minnie radio announcers gotta be tired from the verbal handjobs they're giving eachother.

[billhoward]

It was like that yesterday: game clock seemingly out of sync. It's as if part of the game is delayed by a satellite up/downlink or by a standard/HD conversion but not the graphics. Maybe it's part of college hockey's teething pains on TV.

[billhoward]

Cornell has made comebacks before. We'll see.

Before the game there was a lot of bravado: big sheets of ice, other team playing in its own rink, we'll do whatever it takes to move along. Could still happen. After the first period only, this seems to be a pretty good advantage for the Gophers.

Hopefully having all of those shots (14) and a wide territorial advantage will frustrate UM and, at the same time, wake up The Red

Note, however, that they just survived 14 shots, a number of them quality, in a big scary rink. It's still anyone's game... It's just two periods, instead of three.

That said, I'd love for us to have a shot at them in Lynah, on small ice, with the place full of Red, minus section O, of course.

LET'S GO RED!

Similar opening period in the UNH/Denver game.  SOG were 18-2 in favor of Denver and the score was 1-1 at the end of the first.  UNH played a much better game in the second period.  Hopefully the BIG RED can match their effort.


LET'S GO RED!!!

Another Cornell penalty.  The speed factor, again.

[scoop85]

Having to kill so many penalties certainly won't help our stamina.  Settle down!

[scoop85]

Cornell kills the penalty and finally keeps the puck in Minny's end for a few seconds

And without their ice whores...oops, I mean Minnesota cheerleaders.

[scoop85]

While you would expect student announcing teams to be homers, these alleged "professionals" are pathetic.

We're being outshot 17-3!

[redice]

17-3 shot disadvantage for CU.    CU going on the PP  13:51 left in 2nd

[scoop85]

Penalty on Minnesota.  The color guy sounds like someone stuck a knife in his back ("the ref. couldn't wait to give Cornell a call").

Yuck.

[JordanCS]

The color guy is basically "let's put a fan in the chair and watch how he reacts."  CU PP

[scoop85]

Good flurry on PP. Scott's shot grazes outside of net.
