Sociopath?  ROTFL.

You should share that wiring with Trotsky etal who feel compelled to hurl crap at me for daring to participate in this forum and offer a different view.

Being outnumbered has never bothered me.  I'm a goalie, I can stand the heat, thanks.

[quote jtwcornell91]So, I'm confused.  My understanding is that when the clock reaches 0:00.0 the green light goes on and the red light is indeed locked out.[/quote]

Yeah, it does. I meant to respond to that, but I forgot

Y'know, I'd think after spending as much time as you do on this forum you would understand Greg better than you apparently do.

What different view?  You say you have one, but you never let us know what view that is.  Other than "You're all biased."

What did you think of the game?

That's correct.  The point is that when a goal is scored with only 0.1 seconds left, normal human reflexes of the goal judge prevent the goal from being scored before the green light.

Shucks John, I didn't know that "Trotzky" is Greg's new name.  The guy has so many identities, I can't keep up.

I'm not as gifted when it comes to psychoanalysis as he is.

[quote Rich S]Highly respectful? Where?

He gave Leggio a backhanded compliment and that's all.  No other mention of Tech at all.

Don't play shrink Trots...you're not good at it.

I have a few things to do so you have 15 mins or so to dig up the "highly respectful" stuff.

Enjoy.  :-D[/quote]Rich, I've also tried to come to your defense when we over play our criticism of you. But, I agree this time you really had to look hard and find something to complain about. I mean, do you consider "Leggio deserves credit for making 50 saves. " a backhanded compliment?::rolleyes::

As far as his next statement about us making a lot of goalies the goalie of the week, you are on this board often enough to know that we have serious concerns about our teams ability to finish off the plays.

So my only conclusion is that you were trying to pick a fight and I'm glad that we didn't take the bait. Seriously, tomorrow in the light of day look at Bill's post again and see if you come to the same conclusion. I have the luck, good or bad, of not being able to post till at least an hour after the game ends, as it takes me that long to get home, sometimes that lag period adds some clarity to ones thought, try it and see.:-)

No disrespect intended to David Leggio. He played a great game.

My perspective, maybe or maybe not shared by others, is that averages say that in the ECAC odds 1 of the 11 best performances by the Clarkson goalie or the Union goalie or the RPI goalie or the Princeton goalie or the Darmouth goalie (or the combination of goaltender and defense) would come against Cornell, 1 would come against Harvard, 1 against Dartmouth, etcetera. Some fate has it that Cornell saw more than 1/11 of the best goaltending performances this ECAC season, and I'd attribute it to the opponent getting extra-psyched for Cornell, and to our ability to put up a lot of shots that someone don't light the lamp.

with UMD defeating Denver we just went up to 5t with MSU on PWR (using 3-2-1 bonus). If we defeat Clarkson tomorrow and they drop off TUC will that hurt us much?

[quote DeltaOne81][Q]Bill's review was highly respectful of Clarkson.

Great game by both teams tonight.[/Q]

Guess who said those?

Seriously, you can't come on here expecting out and out praise of Clarkson. Just like there's never going to be out-and-out praise of Cornell on the roundtable. At least not until we're all on the same team in the NCAAs.

Please change your standards for behavior to what you would hold you and your fellow Clarkson fans to in reverse on your board. Or just don't come here.[/quote]

"Leggio deserves credit for making 50 saves. We make ECAC goalie of the week out of a lot of goalies."


The above was the only comment in Bill's review that I commented on.  Hardly "highly respectful."

Greg made the other statement, right?  Or was it John.  Fine.

I don't expect out and out praise for the opponent here or on any forum.  But to not recognize the oponent's efforts in a game that went to 2 OTs is taking a very narrow view.  The implication is that cornell had to go to 2 OTs only because of their own occasional poor play.  That's silly.

Please don't lecture me about my behavior here.  Clean up your own house first.  When inaccurate or narrow-minded statements are made, I'll call you on it.  If you want to throw stones at me, be prepared to catch a few coming back.

If you want to whine about that, then you're dishing it out but are unable to take it as I have said before.

OK, but what did you think of the game?

[Omie]

RichS,

What did Clarkson do well besides Leggio having 50 saves? The second Clarkson goal was clearly a misstep by two Cornell defensemen. So we are all waiting to hear what Clarkson did so exceptionally well that we should recognize, besides those 50 saves by Leggio that we said were awesome and are due to a combination of his goaltending skills AND the fact that Cornell shoots a lot but doesn't come through with the goal.

A little off-topic here...I was delighted to see the bear mascots on the ice.  Does anyone know why they have not been out there this year?

So what did you think of the game, Rich? What is your take? With us asking it 10 times now, if you're not answering, its on purpose.
