Intermission interview with O'Byrne.  I missed most of it.  oh well.  dave's wearing a gold helmet and a black cape tonight.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

A Roman centurion, maybe?

[Liz '05]

shots 7-5 in our favor.  go us

teams on the ice...deep in the heart of texas

[Liz '05]

game on.  shot by abbott, but nothing came of it.  pp over.

back and forth action again, hanging out behind our net and we try to bring it up the ice.  bitz just tried to skate through three msu players, kinda got off a shot, but lerg stopped it.

again with stuff in the neutral zone, into our end, save by mckee, sasha just hit someone over and got called for being too big.

[Liz '05]

so we're on the pk, msu cycling, one-timer failed.  they're getting a lot of shots off, play stopped.  second pk unit on, i think, we're blocking shots or trying, carefoot and abbott get a 2x1, but lerg saves off of carefoot's shot.  lgr!

[Liz '05]

28 sec left on their pp, we're clearing well right now, and they almost got it in from the side of the net.  shooting again, mckee saves with a rebound, and sasha's out.   still in our end, mcc gets it out, sasha trips as he tries to follow it, and line change...stuff happens, play stopped.

[Liz '05]

announcers discussing the lerg family.

cam abbott off for holding.  no idea what time it is

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Stuff happens, play stoped ?  :-P

Adam Wodon you're not, but keep 'em coming Liz.

[Liz '05]

this series is very clearly all about special teams.  msu skating up the ice...passing around, and score for msu.

tim thromen (?) with the ppg from about a foot away from mckee.

[Liz '05]

jeff, i got lost as i tried to keep up.  it wasn't very important.

announcers didn't see the penalty, but abdulkatur just got called on a hard check, so he's off.  pp for cornell.

[Liz '05]

moulson just got a shot off, but deflected by msu.  we're skating in our own end, getting ourselves together and up against the boards in their end, but we didn't get anything together.  msu on a breakaway...and score, shg.  msu sucks.

[Liz '05]

msu 2, cornell 1.  6:58 in the 2nd period.

i think there was a missed pass in there that led to that breakaway.

we're still on the pp, setting something up, but the pp's over.  icing on msu.

[Liz '05]

announcers off air.

lynah's a bit quieter, we're fighting for the puck as we bring it up ice, and no one's getting anything at all set up as there's more back and forth stuff.  whistle blows.

potter seems to be working hard to break up our chances.  a cornell player just got hit in what looked like the back of his head, behind the play, nothing called.

cowbell.

abbott had a chance there, barlow and carefoot working against the boards and trying to cycle.  sadly, they get it out of their end...mckee saves, cornell players all fall down in fron tof the goal as they attempt to keep the puck from going in.
