MSU- 4 Cornell- 3 FINAL (Sat 10.29) - Game Thread

[Liz '05]

for those wondering, we worked around the goal some, pass to chris from barlow, and then he chipped it in (at least that's what it looked to me).

[Liz '05]

energy on our part - it looks like we've started to get back on top of our game.  energy from the crowd too, esp as sawada checks hard (though i think he just got called for it...like 30 seconds later)

a rope, a tree...

about 15 min left.  msu pp.

[Jordan 04]

Pegoraro with a clean short-handed breakaway, but can't get a shot off after the deke... grrrrr

[Liz '05]

"kill schafer kill" as feola goes over and chats with him.  play's been stopped for a while, but we're back on.  
msu shot, blocked, pegs picks it off and runs away with a msu player chasing...he got close to scoring, but didn't manage it.  back into the other end, but pegs is down on the ice.  for a really long time....trainer's on the ice, team discussing strategy with schafer.  pegs off the ice (to the locker room, i think).  stitches to the face, the announcers think he'll need (yes, i sound like yoda).

faithful cheering "throw him out"

[gatitita '05]

what are they doing to our guys?! they're carrying carefoot off too?  (my two current favorites :-( )

[Liz '05]

i'm blind, i'm deaf - at a ridiculously high decibel level.

msu penalty.  5 min major on #18 (abdulkatur), along with game dq.

him being gone is good for us, as abdulkator has been a good player this weekend.

apparently blood was scraped off the ice, though, so the incident as a whole is not good for us.

mitch is also off the ice, though i have no idea why (moulson and krantz helping him).  i guess there was an incident previously that schafer had been talking to feola about that has him woozy.

cam and chris on ice together as play starts again.  we're close to keeping everything in their end.

4 -3 sawada from moulson!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 goal game!

[Liz '05]

we're on the pp, mcc still carrying the puck everywhere, mugford also playing...moulson to sawada...SAWADA!

moulson shot, rather, deflecting off sawada into the net.

1,2, 3 we want more!!

[kaaren]

I can't believe it!  WTG RED!!!!!!!!!!!  WTG Ray!


LGR!!!

[Liz '05]

still on the pp, because it's a major.  about 13 min left in the third.  potter keeps clearing the puck, we keep bringing it back...msu just cleared into the cornell bench.  sawada with another chance, but save.  mugford to the glass into the crowd.

tubas.

apparently quick line changes as we work to keep the pp advantage.  1:53 left on pp.

cowbell

[Liz '05]

mcc and abbotts on ice...with krantz.  had some pressure going there, but back into our end.  we keep it center/their ice, whistle for offsides.  :51 left on pp.

i think i was wrong on the time left in the period earlier.

cornell timeout.

[gatitita '05]

10.07 left in the game. LGR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cbuckser]

I think I saw Pegoraro back, wearing Kindret's sweater.

Edit:  I am confident that Pegoraro has returned.

2nd edit:  Jason Weinstein got word that Pegoraro is indeed wearing Kindret's sweater.  Pegoraro's sweater is blood-stained.

icing MSU 6:56 to go

[Liz '05]

sorry, all, my computer just died, had to be plugged in and restarted.  what laptop doesn't give you warning when the battery's dying?

anyway, in general, we seem to be playing very hard, with a lot of time in their end, and a lot of chances, but nothing scored.

kindret's playing.  topher's excellent.
