Cornell vs. Clarkson, game 1 postgame

Offering a different opinion from the one shared by all th ecornell posters here makes me confrontational?  You're being a tad close-minded.[/quote]

First:  ALL the Cornell posters?  I suggest you re-read the thread.

Second: having a different opinion isn't confrontational.  Saying things like "Or can't you see that?" and "Don't play shrink Trots...you're not good at it." is being confrontational.

[Q]He gave Leggio a backhanded compliment and that's all. No other mention of Tech at all.[/Q]
Some fans like to analyze what their team did right and wrong after games.  There is no mandate that people must do the same to the other team.

I suggest you get over it and enjoy this thread, as it offers the most glowing praise of the Clarkson team on this board in a while, rather than looking for every nit that might be interpreted as an insult that you have to defend.

No, Rich: you need to stop being a sociopath.  I know where from I am talking, because I am a pretty confrontational guy in person... but at least my brain has the wiring to tell me when enough is enough.

Rich, I don't take it as an insult at all.

As for "all" the fans, thanks, you're right.  I see that a number of cornell fans here and on the other thread had no difficulty acknowleding the efforts of the opponent.  Something that Trotzky can't bring himself to do.

I say again...that's poor sportsmanship.

In analyzing what your team did right and what they did wrong, you're missing the boat if you don't consider what things the other team did to cause you do do things wrong.  As a coach as well as a sports writer, I've learned to see both sides.

As for my comments you called confrontational, you might look at the sarcasm he directed at me..."psychological malfunction?"  That's not confrontational by your definition?

Oh right...you only are supposed to look at your side.  I forgot that...silly me.   :-}

Oh that's a hoot about my enjoying this thread because it's "glowing praise of Clarkson."  Like I need to hear that here.  Please, get over yourself on that idea.  ::rolleyes::

Are you coming on to me, Rich?  I don't recall us being related.

[quote action jackson]Either way, our fans were out of line throwing crap on the ice...it's a bad habit that has to stop.  We don't want to be that kind of crowd.[/quote]

Hear, hear.  That shit has got to stop.

[Dpperk29]

he's just saying you have been able to gather a large amount of wealth. which your cornell education has made significantly easier than those with a non-cornell education

[Dpperk29]

would throwing the people who throw stuff on the ice be acceptable? or would throwing them into the clarkson locker room be a better idea?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

The first line (Carefoot, Bitz, Moulson) and the first defensive pairing (OB, Pokulok) were absolutely brutal.  Pokulok seemed like he was playing in peewee hockey.  He couldn't stop, couldn't skate backwards, couldn't pass, couldn't hit, couldn't do anything.  I believe that all 5 of those guys were -3 for the night.  I was nervous everytime Clarkson was in the offensive zone when those guys were on the ice.  The rest of our line combinations were awesome.  But, I agree with Ari, leave Scott on that first line.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but has Carefoot's PK time decreased dramatically.  If so, why?  He was our best PKer at the beginning of this season and amazing last year.

Oh snap!  It's on!  :-D

Rich, the series isn't over--Game two is tomorrow!  I hope the Clarkson empty gas tank from the OTs carries over to the second game!  Let's go Red!

Greg, you're still not allowed to start the game thread tomorrow!  ;-)

It's Friday night!  Peace.

[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.

[action jackson]

Either one...as long as they get the ass kicking they deserve.  They're not real Cornell fans and those are the kids who shouldn't be getting tickets next year.

[quote RichH]  When you have 3 things to look at, (puck, green light, red light) it's a tough call.  Teet's reactions aren't 0.1 seconds fast and the green light was on before the red light despite the puck in the net.  That happens.  [/quote]With the help of a friend, you can test your reaction time.  Find a ruler marked in centimeters.  Sit at a table with your forearm resting on the table and your dominent hand and wrist extending over the edge.  Have your friend hold the ruler by the 30 cm end with the 0 mark between your thumb and forefinger, but not touching either.  The friend then releases the ruler without warning.  When you see the ruler start to move, squeeze your fingers together to catch it.  Where you catch it is a good measure of your reaction time.  (You rest your arm on the table to prevent to instinctive motion downward that increases your chance of catching it but distorts the measured distance that the ruler falls.)  

d (cm)   t (sec)
 5        0.101
10        0.143
15        0.175
20        0.202
25        0.226
30        0.247

It's a fun parlor game.  Try it under different conditions - different levels of distraction, physical condition, ...
If you lock out the red light when the green light goes on, you should build in some reaction time for the goal judge.

Well, that's dandy that you're not missing the boat and getting everything you can out of your sports experience, but that's not the way the large majority of passionate sports fans  work...all teams, all sports, all levels (well, maybe not curling).  I lived in Blacksburg, VA last year and listened to many Hokie fans breaking down football games by only talking about their guys.  People tend to talk about what they *know*.  They *know* their own players and what they do week-in, week-out.  Many don't have the time nor the inclination to analyze the opponent's performance, unless it is outstanding.  I'm now in CT and many Huskie fans were beside themselves wondering what they did wrong vs. Syracuse.  It seemed  that only the Courant had MacNamara as the big story.

So maybe all those people are being poor sportsmen by not discussing opponents at length.  I don't see it that way.  But you know what?  Oh well.

[Q]As for my comments you called confrontational, you might look at the sarcasm he directed at me..."psychological malfunction?"  That's not confrontational by your definition?[/Q]
I'm not talking about others.  I'm talking about you.  You asked what made you confrontational, and I told you.

[Q]Oh that's a hoot about my enjoying this thread because it's "glowing praise of Clarkson."  Like I need to hear that here.  [/Q]
I'm sorry, I was under the impression that that's what you criticized bill for.  I apologize for being wrong.

Please, get over yourself on that idea.  ::rolleyes::

Good ol' deflecting my own phrase back on me.  You do that a lot.  I don't get into "I know you are, but what am I?" fights like you do, so I'll ask you this:  What did you think of the game?  You've talked about your coaching experience a lot, and you obviously know a lot about hockey.  Yet you never talk about the games.  You spend most of your posts here getting into fights and swapping insults with people about how biased we all are as Cornell fans.  So I'll ask you directly: What are your honest thoughts on tonight's game?  This is a post-game thread that is generally used for that end.  Instead of yelling at us for not including anything about Clarkson, how about some education about the Knights and if they performed well tonight like I postulated? I admittedly don't know as much about their current roster as you do.

[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.
