Quinnipiac QF

Good news: the series will be streamed for free: [cornellbigred.com]

.........nice!

Interesting nugget:

For the fourth time in the last eight seasons, the Big Red and Bobcats will meet in the quarterfinals – with the last three series going the maximum three games.

was it known these game will streamed for free? why make it pay last week and free this week?

Do we know that this is a league-wide deal or JUST for the QU-CU series at Lynah? Right now, I suspect that it's just for this QF.

Quinnipiac Athletic University, the only pro sports franchise in South-Central Connecticut, seems to put everything on it's athletics calendar on ESPN3 for its Mercedes/BMW dealer interested fans. I can't imagine that Cornell Athletics would lift a finger to find a media outlet like this on their own, and the ECAC already seems to have decided that Boxnet or whatever is a thing for them. My very fuzzy no-evidence guess is that Quinnipiac Athletic University wants to make sure CT fans of their ECHL franchise avoid straying to other entertainment now that they've lured them away from the Yale Whale in the big bad city of New Haven to their cushy Hilltop Suburban Athletic Mecca. Keep the money coming.

Edit: Credible evidence exists. In an odd coincidence, the Quinnipiac @ Yale first round series was...also broadcast on this Eleven Sports thingy, in addition to BoxCast. [www.ecachockey.com] So I'm pretty convinced now that the only reason we have this free option is our opponent.

maybe the network made a bid for the rights to the QF but nobody made a bid for games with the 9-12 seeds.

Detective? More like conspiracy theorist. They're all up to somethin'!

I am just surprised it was allowed unless the ECAC made money off the deal. maybe they did and maybe more than the buys they figured they would get from cornell/Quin fans?

There must be some loophole that allows the live stream to be on Twitch & Facebook. Note that Eleven Network, the “traditional TV” channel that is on Directv (I think?) will show the games on tape delay. That apparently was enough to protect any exclusivity reqts for Boxcast. (And still make $ for ECAC? I really have no idea how this works.)

Q pays 11, 11 pays Box? Seems like a simple answer.

Or Q pays them both.

so the game is on 623 for directv tape delayed.. also noticed that the directv channel is not the same feed as the elevensportsprime feed. Still trying to figure out how to stream it to a roku or some other device. they have a twitch channel you can buy but i cant tell if thats the same channel either.

they do seem to have a firestick app.

The Q-Yale game looked good streaming live on my phone last Saturday. It should look fine on my PC connected to the HDMI of my TV this weekend.

The premium twitch channel basically removes ads or something. It's the same channel.

I searched ROKU and there is no ROKU channel.

Twitch has built in casting support for Chromecast

I believe the free feed is tape delayed.

Getting healthy was the only thing that mattered coming into this series. From the Sun:

Schafer said Tuesday he’s hopeful that junior forward and co-captain Mitch Vanderlaan, who missed the last month of the regular season, will suit up this weekend.

“[Vanderlaan is] a really great player for the whole sheet of ice, all 200 feet,” Rauter said of his co-captain. “So especially with him back I think we’ll be extra lethal.”

Junior defensemen Brendan Smith and Alec McCrea are also healthy, as is freshman forward Cam Donaldson.

Let's hope the Red absolutely blitzes QU, so that Vanderlaan, in what will hopefully be only a two-game series, can play as little as possible so that he can move from a "hopeful" to a definite.

No mention of Malott. As far as we know he's good to go, right?

You kids are about to get a treat.

"The Cornell men's hockey team's postseason begins with its final home games of the season, when it hosts Quinnipiac this weekend in a best-of-three ECAC Hockey Championship quarterfinal series at Lynah. The entire series will be broadcast through the platforms of Eleven Sports USA, with Grady Whittenburg handling play-by-play with color commentary from Will LeBlond."

Grady is the second best hockey play by play I've ever heard, after Dean Vrooman in Portland. He was with Cornell for 13 seasons (I had no idea it was that long). We've been blessed to have a string of terrific announcers in Grady, Adam, and Jason, but Grady is in a class by himself.

It's a shame you didn't get to enjoy Roy Ives.... He was the best... Take a radio to the game & compare his play-by-play to the action on the ice.... He's the most accurate of the bunch... And, it's not even close.

With the caveat that I didn't expect to blow Colgate out in the 1991 and 1996 quarterfinals, I agree with Greg. I do not expect this to be an easy series for Cornell. Keep in mind that Cornell hasn't had many blowouts since beating Princeton on January 5.

In January I made plans for Sunday, March 11. Now I regret it.

I'm not counting gamemisconductitis as a bona fide injury.

I'm uptight about this series. As others have said I think it will be close; I think we're looking at more one-goal games, and I just hope our success in close games will carry us through.

Very true. Despite their record, few teams have played Cornell as tightly as QU in our two games.

I agree 100 percent. Once the first-round pairings were set, I was hoping we could avoid playing either Yale or Q in the quarters. Unfortunately, none of the bottom-feeders could pull off an upset.
We beat Q twice during the regular season, but both games were tight, and we were helped out down there by a fluke goal. As I noted earlier, Q was picked to finish second in the preseason ECAC coaches poll, and they dominated Yale last weekend.
If you go by the Pairwise rankings, we're getting a tougher first-round matchup then Clarkson (which plays No. No. 36 Colgate) and Harvard (which plays No. 35 Dartmouth). Q is ranked No. 29,and you could make a good argument that it will be a tougher opponent this weekend than No. 27 Princeton. Yes, Princeton can score a ton of goals, but most of them have come against the weaker teams in the league, and their defense is shaky. So much for the No. 1 seed being a big advantage!
We've won a ton of close games this year. Let's hope we can pull out two more this weekend.

Am I crazy, or didn’t Chris Moore (who went on to broadcast for the Devils and Panthers, and now fills in on WFAN sports talk in NY) broadcast Cornell hockey in the early 80’s? Thought he was very good.

You may or may not be crazy, but Chris Moore did broadcast Cornell hockey for WHCU (and play third base for my league-champion Kay Jewelers softball team) for four years.

Chris was the worst of the bunch!! Again, as someone who takes a radio to the game AND listens to the broadcasts on the radio, he didn't have a clue as to what was happening on the ice, as evidenced by his use of the words: "mystery whistle"... He used those words often... It always amazed me that he left Ithaca and had such success... He must have worked VERY had at his trade... He was not a natural!!

Trying to stay out of this - but as a fellow IC alum of Chris Moore - and someone who got to hear his Devils broadcasts on the radio fairly frequently ... Let's just say, I was never a fan myself either, unfortunately. Always interesting to see who gets NHL jobs and who doesn't.

I thought he had a real good radio voice, as to the nuts and bolts, I have no comment or recollection (and never took the radio to a home game to see how he matched up to the action)...

+1 (I'm also too young to have heard Roy Ives.) One warning: if you're listening on earphones, watch out for the volume level when someone scores.

Very true. Despite their record, few teams have played Cornell as tightly as QU in our two games.

Q is third in the nation in even strength possession metrics and way down in both shooting % and save %. They're 7-3-0 in their last 10, which have largely featured decent goaltending (separated by some absolutely awful nights) and higher shooting percentages. This is a dangerous matchup. I have not seen them play but by the numbers they look like a team that's been pretty unlucky for a good chunk of the season. They could pull an upset with two decent games from their goaltender.

Hopefully Cornell fully returns to health and starts firing on all cylinders again - down the stretch Union has looked like the best team in the league, and it felt a little like CU was limping to the RS finish line.

Let's hope the Red absolutely blitzes QU, so that Vanderlaan, in what will hopefully be only a two-game series, can play as little as possible so that he can move from a "hopeful" to a definite.

As others have said, this is pretty far beyond what most of us are realistically hoping for from this series. First of all, Q is a difficult matchup and Cornell can easily lose. Second, and relatedly, if Vanderlaan is healthy, given that he is one of the best players on the team, he won't be playing "as little as possible." It's the playoffs and Cornell isn't going to have an easy matchup the rest of the way. It's all hands on deck.

Is it too late to make this a two-game-total-goals series?

This game, perhaps?

Another fine example.

Exactly!

Is 11 the record?

Is 9 in 2 periods a record?

We want Weder!

While we're all sitting here, maybe someone could go back over the forum posts the past few weeks and find quotes from people who were saying while our defense was good, our offense was not up to the task of the postseason.

Agreed the Colgate '96 series was the biggest humiliation I've seen Cornell inflict upon an opponent.

Colgate up 2 -1 mid-third; shots 9 - 0 Clarkson in the third.

Stewart now in goal.

It was not a playoff game but I remember a game in the early 80's against Yale where a Bertrand team was up 9-0 in the first period. Bertrand pulled the goalie on a faceoff in the Yale end. He said he wanted to "practice" playing 6 on 5....

I'm pretty convinced now that the only reason we have this free option is our opponent.

Seeing that ALL the commercials were Ivy & Cornell oriented, maybe I'm wrong.

Clarkson and Union lose. Harvard down by 3.

Scersk '97 gets his wish: Cornell is annihilating Q and resting Vanderlaan for most of the third.

i started watching with the score 9-1. i didn't see a goal or angello.

Big win for the Big Red.

Both teams eased up in the 3rd.

Vanderlaan played in the 3rd. I don't know if he took all of his shifts.

Stewart came in with 14 minutes left in the game. Q was definitely bumping into Galajda too much in the second.

QUI 1 F

HAR 1 2:04 3

PRN 5

Soooo...unless HAR comes back, Cornell is the only higher seed in the ECAC to win tonight. Wow.

It was similar last week when Q paid for the Yale series to be broadcast. They even had ILDN logos last week.

My money is on Q until proven otherwise. They are all about publicity. They bought some tonight.

Just keep them all healthy, is what I say.

And I didn’t expect this at all. Let’s hope tomorrow goes just as well.

Other than our game, that has to be a nightmare for the folks in Lake Placid.

I was at that game, so it had to be in the late '70s. There was a faceoff in the Yale zone with a few seconds left in the first period. The crowd all chanted "We want 10!" I'm sure Tim Taylor appreciated it.

Dick Bertrand before he dicks you.

Note Yale's first period goalie.

In all honesty Dartmouth would outdraw Harvard.

I've wondered about this (and I'm sure it's been discussed on eLynah). The ideal Lake Placid attendance line up is Cornell, St. Lawrence, Clarkson, and...? With St. Lawrence eliminated, it can't happen this year. (dear hockey gods...this is not woofing...just wondering.)

The ideal for attendance? Cornell, Clarkson, RPI, Union.

The metaphysical ideal is IMHO Cornell, Clarkson, Harvard, St. Lawrence. If I was picking the Mount Rushmore of the conference that is who I would choose. It happened once in 1991.

In case you're wondering.

Nein.

The metaphysical ideal is Cornell, Clarkson, Harvard, and either SLU or RPI. The last classic year was 2002.

I see SLU as romantic because of Appleton.

Prior to 1985, the ideal was, of course, Cornell, Clarkson, Harvard, and BU. I think that three year sequence from '69–'71 is a record (three years, same teams) that will never be broken.
