The nod to the Syracuse Hockey Invitational Tournament is such a wonderful insider joke. Awful, awful tournament. But how else would I have seen Gallagher scraping up puke?
I declare him “one of us,” by which I mean ECAC lovers of “remember that obscure player or moment” conversations.
Once upon a time, there was an awful hockey tournament held at the War Memorial in Syracuse called the Syracuse Invitational Tournament. Close, but awful. ECAC insiders called it the Syracuse Hockey Invitational Tournament. The kind of place where their PA system fails, so the Cornell fans have to lead others in singing the national anthems a cappella.
We were up watching us play Providence one year, and in, I think, the beginning of the first overtime, the Providence goalie just pulled up his helmet and yakked all over the place. A hated ECAC ref of the day, Gallagher, had to scrape it up so the game could go on. We got a picture; someone has it somewhere. I think the goalie stayed in!
Noted offensive talent David Adler won it on an fluky deflected floater in the second overtime. I kind of felt bad for the Providence kid, because he had left it all on the ice.
Just checked the box on Trotsky's site. This all happened, but it was the third overtime. The Colgate play-by-play guy would've gotten that right the first time.

What a day to be a Cornell sports fan! Lacrosse, basketball, women's hockey, men's hockey!
...and all four teams coached by Cornell alums; add in wrestling and you've got quite the spring season for former Cornell athletes at their alma mater. I can't remember a better 24 hours for the school's teams.

It probably will be in the highlights because a goal was awarded. The power play was winding down. The net was empty and Bancroft freed the puck along the boards. In a flash as he was about the control it for a chance at the score an Colgate player jumped from the bench to stop his progress.
I have never before seen this in hockey.

And it was a 7th Colgate skater who jumped on to stop him!
I have seen the "automatic goal awarded" a few times before when a player is hauled down on a breakaway heading towards an empty net (i.e. a penalty shot situation), but I've never seen it as a result of a blatant "too many men" call in the neutral zone. Although after checking the box score, I see that the penalty assessed on Colgate was actually a minor for "illegal substitution." A quick further review of the rules shows that if a "deliberate illegal substitution" is made during the last 2 minutes of regulation or during overtime, a penalty shot can be awarded. And since the net was empty, they just decided to award the goal automatically instead.

So do we think the Colgate player made the decision to jump on the ice himself or do we think a coach sent him?

We’ve been playing some real Schafer ball over the past few games and I love to see it. I personally don’t care who we get to start off next week because it’s gonna be someone that we haven’t beaten yet this year and we’ll probably get the other one in the finals anyway. Just keep winning, I like our odds any time we get to placid.

Time is a flat circle.
Cornell also failed to help their power play numbers, failing to convert, despite a couple of shots off the post on the same opportunity in the second.

So this means I should officially watch a replay. Hot damn. Yeah, I know of auto awarding goals if penalties against players occur that impede them from hitting an empty net (this happened to the Devils' Hischier a year or two back), but 7th man on is a new one.sah67

Can't really disagree, but...watching the replay the player that jumped came from right between Harder and another coach. Either of them could have sent him.

Apparently the rule they instituted to award penalty shots when it happens in the final minutes (or in OT) was a direct result of Parker (and some other coaches) doing exactly that as a strategy.

The last time we had a similar weekend was March 2010 when the men won the ECAC’s, women were in the Frozen Four, men’s hoops won the Ivies, men’s lax won their game, and wrestling (as usual) was kicking butt.

This announcer is good, don’t get me wrong. But as scoop85 said, he is exhausting. Every so often I have to hit mute to take a break since he never gives us one. He’d do well with a color commentator but he also needs to allow for silence from time to time.
There's a lot to be said for radio-style play-by-play in live streaming video sports coverage. People consume streams in a variety of ways, and someone might have the stream on while working in the kitchen or driving, or the video quality of either their device or the feed might not be very good. If the commentary doesn't assume everyone's actively watching the video all the time, it becomes much more useful.

To each their own! We're fortunate to have an announcer in Grady who is well rounded in his hockey knowledge and easy on the ear. McGraw is the consummate hockey dork who has a more

If the commentary doesn't assume everyone's actively watching the video all the time, it becomes much more useful.
Sure, but that's what audio is for.
I loved it, personally. I was charmed by his warm-hearted idiocy. And he seriously knew his shit -- he made many Cornell hockey deep cuts that were clearly extemp, not notes.
I love his knowledge and enthusiasm, but his delivery is a bit too much for me.
To each their own! We're fortunate to have an announcer in Grady who is well rounded in his hockey knowledge and easy on the ear. McGraw is the consummate hockey dork who has a more
nasal delivery but is neither a homer nor a walking/talking cliché.

Yeah, that about sums it up for me. He is wonderfully impartial, almost to a fault.

The nod to the Syracuse Hockey Invitational Tournament is such a wonderful insider joke. Awful, awful tournament. But how else would I have seen Gallagher scraping up puke?
I declare him “one of us,” by which I mean ECAC lovers of “remember that obscure player or moment” conversations.
Once upon a time, there was an awful hockey tournament held at the War Memorial in Syracuse called the Syracuse Invitational Tournament. Close, but awful. ECAC insiders called it the Syracuse Hockey Invitational Tournament. The kind of place where their PA system fails, so the Cornell fans have to lead others in singing the national anthems a cappella.
We were up watching us play Providence one year, and in, I think, the beginning of the first overtime, the Providence goalie just pulled up his helmet and yakked all over the place. A hated ECAC ref of the day, Gallagher, had to scrape it up so the game could go on. We got a picture; someone has it somewhere. I think the goalie stayed in!
Noted offensive talent David Adler won it on an fluky deflected floater in the second overtime. I kind of felt bad for the Providence kid, because he had left it all on the ice.

Curious as to what that site was generally for, I went to the amurgsval.org home page. It states that the site has been optimized for Netscape. Ah, memories....

I remember going to to S(h)IT with my dad and seeing Cornell play Lake State, I think it was around the time they were contenders.

Lake State won their titles in 1988, 1992, and 1994.

Nice to see Schaefer shout-out the work of the penalty-killers and Ian in his email about the Colgate series:
The highlight of the weekend was killing a 6-on-3 power play on Saturday night.

Maybe he and Joe Howe are hanging out. Joe seems to have vanished from the face of the earth. Doesn’t help that there’s another hockey Joe Howe.

There was a CHA chat with Schafer earlier in the season where he apparently referenced having to “remove someone from the team”. Steele’s bio disappeared from the team website shortly thereafter.

Yep. Wondering if it was like, bad academic standing, or he went back to GB, or something less... good.sah67
