No knocking Moulson on this night!

On to Albany!

That was a fun weekend. I thought the D did a great job of clearing away rebounds. One shot in 2OT by Clarkson reminded me of the Cornell game winner in the 92 Semis except Cornell cleared it out instead of leaving a rebound chance.

Time to look at ticket prices from FL to Albany ;-)

I so wish there was a Ringworld "stepping stone" to Dunbar's.

One of the greatest series in Cornell history. The 20th win of the year and the 50th win over Clarkson. The two longest games in Lynah history, back-to-back.

Wow.

What did people think of the winning goal? Was it a high stick?

Even if it was, it's just further proof that all bad calls even out in the end

All the credit in the world to Leggio for keeping his team in it. Didn't make all-world saves necessarily, but got the job done.

But on the whole, Cornell deserved to win both games...naturally

Yep. Clarkson was a worthy Evil Nemesis ;-)

One thing that should not be overlooked is the play made by Seminoff off the faceoff. He faked the shot from the point -- something I have seen very little of from Cornell this year -- as the Clarkson forward took the bait and went down for the block. That gave Seminoff both some time and a shooting lane to get the good shot on net. The rest is now history.

High stick? When? Puck was knocked in on the ground. Unless moulson tipped seminoffs first shot?

As glad as I am that Cornell pulled out both wins, for sanity's sake I prefer blowouts to suspense. That said, a win's a win. LGR!

It was very hard to see, but it does look like Seminoff's shot hit Moulson's stick at about tummy level, fell to the ice, and then Moulson put it in.

Yeah, on the video it looked like Leggio simply misplayed the high shot and let it fall to his feet, but who knows. Maybe they think it was deflected on the way to him which is why he didn't catch it cleanly. The Clarkson announcers interviewed someone from the team (probably the Coach) afterwards and he said they did think it was a high stick. However, they were sanguine about it. Thought they played a good game but them's the breaks and all that.

Somehow I suspect it would have had to be over someone's head to get called a high stick. The Ref had to be feeling the fatigue at that point too.

I have been perhaps Moulson's biggest critic this year, but he worked his ass off this weekend in a way I have never seen him during his entire four years. That was absolutely amazing. WE ARE GOING TO ALBANY!!!!!!!

I knew Clarkson would be trouble, and they didn't disappoint. That said, we controlled the vast majority of play, and really should been able to take care of business a bit more comfortably. I really would like to find a new dance partner in the quarters next season.

In all, I thought tonight we were not nearly as crisp as last night, but we worked extremely hard and it paid off.

schoaff · March 11, 2006, 11:27:47 PM

Nice that Moulson had both OT winners (even if we had to convert the extra point after the first one).

I'm sure this is posted somewhere, but apparently I am not smart enough to figure it out. What seed are we, and what game will we be playing in Albany? I know we were 3 going into this weekend, but that changes after beating Clarkson and we all get re-seeded, right? The rankings always confuse me... I just want to win all the time so I know we're number 1

Another silly question: if I have student season tickets, is there a special way to get ECAC tickets? Meaning, are they free? I'm guessing no, but thought I'd double check before buying.

Great game tonight, though some of the worst officiating I have ever seen in hockey. See you all in Albany!!!
