Cornell vs. Clarkson, Game 2 POSTGAME

[PinkyGen]

Good for Moulson to end Lynah with a bang. And I love it when Topher scores too. I hope the team can tighten up the D a bit, improve the PP, and just get some rest.

Now I face the difficult choice of travelling to Albany, or actually complete my legal research paper.

I may be missing something, but since Dartmouth won and the other 2 series are going to a third game we'll be seeded either 2nd or 3rd.

If Colgate wins we play them.
If Colgate loses we play winner of Harvard/SLU

Either way, we should end up in the late game since we can't play Dartmouth and they would presumably want the early game.

Anybody know what time the games are?

And both games will be televised by CSTV.  That's good news if you live in Kentucky!

[quote krose]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!

I was actually a bit pensive about the idea of a blowout before tonight because I thought some of Clarkson's players might start taking runs at our guys.

Good for Matt, giving the referee a no-brainer tonight.

Yeah, I need to decide which will be cheaper. Flying to Albany or subscribing to DirectTV. Somehow I doubt the sports bars here in Gainesville, FL will be showing it. ;-)

I am using my husband's account to post - he requires me to identify myself.

I have to say, that although I preferred the excitement of smashing the other teams in 2003, this weekend was one of the most exciting weekends of Cornell Hockey in a long time.  Even though both games were nail-biters, it was great to see O'Byrne, Pokaluk, and Krantz back on the ice, and I thought Cornell really kept control of the game, especially tonight.

I'm surprised you guys haven't commented more on the big players tonight - it's all talk about Albany.  What about this game?

I think McCutcheon, Barlow and Carefoot really have to be recognized for the great job they do moving it up the ice.  I agree with the earlier post that Moulson really worked for it tonight.  But I'm still waiting to see that top line put their power play together, and he used to be the main shot on that line.

I actually subscribe to DirecTV only because I can watch college hockey if I do it,  In fact, you can purchase the SportsPack on a month by month basis, so I keep it from November through March.  CSTV shows a game per week (or more) and you can watch HEA games on NESN, CCHA and WCHA games on regional Fox Networks and a few other random channels.  It's really neat (not as neat as being at Lynah however).

My wife and I still have our season tix at Lynah even though we're half a thousand miles away. The one trip per year we get to make is still worth it (we saw Niagara this year).

[quote Tub(a)][quote abmarks]High stick?  When?  Puck was knocked in on the ground.  Unless moulson tipped seminoffs first shot?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

It appeared as though Seminoff's shot was deflected as he shot it high and it ended up low on Leggio's pads...

Nevertheless, even if Moulson hit it with a high stick, when the puck hit Leggio's pads, the high-stick is waived off.  It was Moulson's rebound that went in, not the original shot.

Wow.  Several people have commented that Clarkson played better tonight.  If that's the case, then RichS really should be banned for life - Cornell dominated this game, and if last night was worse, then Clarkson didn't even deseve a footnote in that game.   Clarkson couldn't do anything tonight - a complete shooting gallery.  It was only a matter of time.  The first Clarkson goal was luck and the second was a Cornell mistake.  There's just no other way you can couch them.  They weren't good plays on Clarkson's part.  They weren't the result of hard work.  They were flukes.  Clarkson deserved to lose this game about 6-0.

And Clarkson *is* a bunch of goons.  Tons of cheap shots after the whistle - just credible enough not to get called, but still a pattern of cheapness.  Enjoy the golf course, you goons.  I really used to respect Clarkson as a rival, but now I just wish they'd finish in 12th place year after year.  Good riddance.

Excellent.  Taking the full day from work doesn't seem necessary then.

What a weekend!  My ass hurts from sitting and my back hurts from standing.  I thought we outplayed them and were the better team but had little to show for the effort (til the outcome, obviously).  This team reminds me of two years ago and four years ago.  Just can't seem to bury it.  Hats off to Leggio, he played really well.  O'Byrne played well, Pokoluk looked out of it, and McKee scares me.  Sometimes it looks like he's not paying attention even besides the fluke goal.  Barlow and Mugford also played very hard, as did Sawada, McCutcheon, and Carefoot.  Topher is inspired but has to have more faith in his shot.  It seems he pulls up alot and looks to pass.
Anyway, can't wait to hear about the meeting between RichS and Beeeej!
