Game Thread: Cornell 4, OSU 3 (OT) FINAL

National anthem was at 4:02pm, puck dropped at 4:05pm

Iggy scores the first goal for Cornell! And he scores the second!! Moulson on the third goal!!! Hornby puts in the game winner in OT!!!!

Adam W confirmed that Ohio State is in fact backing out of the Everblades next year for their own holiday tournament to get their stadium ready for the 2005 FF. BC will be the rotating team while St. Cloud will replace OSU. OSU will probably be back for 2005.

Recap from BRA:
First period was almost all OSU. The Buckeyes are moving the puck well and hitting hard. Cornell's passing is sloppy, but the AHA line is skating very well and will generate some opportunities. Cornell had two good scoring chances - Vesce sweeping in from the goalie's right side, but he couldn't squeeze the puck in and then later Bitz missed a not-quite-open net.

McKee didn't have a chance on the OSU [PP] goal. Everyone was watching the puck while an OSU player held it in the office and nobody tried to stop the scorer from skating right down in between the circles to take the puck. Otherwise, a scramble or two aside in which he kept his composure and covered up, OSU hasn't really generated chances despite controlling play.

Cornell really controlled play in the 2d. All three goals were hard-earned. I assure you all that the first Iggulden goal came on a pass from McCutcheon. McCutcheon is having a great game. The second goal was mostly Cook's. He really blistered a shot from the point, Betz couldn't handle it, and Iggy just barely poked it through. I have to see the replay on the Moulson goal to see how he got set up. It was a great shot though, from a short angle to the goalie's right.

OSU is at their best when they have a little space. They have had some very good 2-on-1 chances that they didn't convert on (they keep missing the net). Caponegri's goal was amazing he came in from McKee's left, held off his defender and just flat beat McKee top-shelf. A real goal-scorer's goal. Both teams are hitting HARD. A great game to watch.

The third period was just dominated by OSU. Cornell was content to just casually clear the puck, but they did a very poor job of it. They started the period by giving the puck away right in front of McKee three times, but McKee made a great save and OSU just flat missed the net twice. 12 minutes into the period, CU had only one shot.

All that mediocrity paid off when tOSU tied it up after winning the draw after a Cornell icing. Shortly thereafter, Caponegri committed the boner of the tournament. He mouthed off after getting called for icing with 5:02 (he thought he was close enough to the red line for government work) and was given a 10 minute misconduct. He missed the rest of the 3d and all of OT. Cornell generated one spectacular chance, but Betz saved the game (temporarily) by stoning one of the Abbotts with a little over 2 minutes left. As the clock ran out Cornell did all it could to give away the game, but a level head by McKee and some good fortune sent the game to OT.

Absolutely the worst period I've seen this team play all year. But then ...

The OT started badly as O'Byrne just handed the puck to tOSU in the slot 10 seconds into the period, but McKee saved O'Byrne's bacon. Finally the Red got the puck in deep on OSU, Cam tapped it to Chris who fed it to a charging Hornby; Hornby beat Betz to the short side. A great finish by Hornby, and a great play by the line.
I told you that the AHA line would generate a chance. See, First Period Recap.

General impressions. Great games from Iggy, Knoepfli and the AHA line.

It is tough to give defensive grades because there was so much sloppy D. O'Byrne may be big and strong, but his skating and stickwork is often oafish and he can get buffaloed by little guys. He may be a future-Bâby, but he isn't a present-Bâby. Moulson had a great goal, but I can't really describe the play because it developed so quickly and the replay by CSTV was awful (it was cut tight; all they showed was the shot).

McKee came up big when he had to, and only the third tOSU goal can really be pinned on him.

Caponegri can flat play. I hate him almost as much as Kolarik. Revenge is sweet. Down go the Buckeyes.

And the curse is off the Bell jersey. LET'S GO RED!!!

Steckl is out of the game with a shoulder injury

excellent...all righty...lgr!!!

now i gotta figure out if i can get to the chat without installing excessive crap on someone elses computer....

Steckel's absence is HUGE. He was outstanding in the first matchup this year.

Ohio State gets another early power play?? Struggling to hear the broadcast...

Cornell kills off the OSU pp. 0-0, early.

back to 5x5...5th straight game with an early penalty

early pp killed off.

okay, so i'm not the only having difficulty hearing...

it was chris abbott with a cross check

ya, they got one, but its 5 on 5 now

Tony is especially hard to hear...boasted my system sound to 100% but it is still soft...oh well

go to the graphic equalizer in real player and fiddle with it a little

Audio is fine here. Reload, maybe?

did they just boost it during the commercial? It got really loud

Penalty on Hynes, OSU on pp.

Ugh

OSU Power play goal.

how much time left in per

how many OSU pp's so far?

2

Cornell first pp comin up. Shots are 7-1 OSU so far.



Post Edited (12-28-03 16:42)

8 minutes...penalty on OSU as Moulson had someone all over his back

Cornell powerplay, 7:45 to go in 1st period

Shots: Cornell 1, OSU 7

Cornell has been outshot 7-1

I'm going to chill with the updates today--I have too much going on in the background...do either of you want to take it away Justin or GB?

greg, why dont you do the updates here

Cornell delay of game. Sure, I'll update, but I don't control the thread title (subject line of Adam's first post).

OSU going on their 3rd pp.



Post Edited (12-28-03 16:41)

sounds like a brutal start for cornell

OSU gets several chances from a distance before Cornell kills off the pp. Cornell ices with 2:40 to go, back to 5-on-5.

Not sure it's been brutal -- there's been no flow and Cornell's been shorthanded most of the period. No horrendous mistakes yet, and but for a great Betz save on Bitz it would be 1-1.



Post Edited (12-28-03 16:41)

The Abbotts almost set up a chance in the final minute. OSU ices again, Red will get another chance in the offensive zone.



Post Edited (12-28-03 16:41)

Bitz draws a penalty in the closing seconds of the period -- Cornell will start the second with 1:55 of pp.

End of first: 1-0, Ohio State.

Shots are 7-4, OSU.

I kind of blame myself for the defecit - I am wearing the cursed white 2 jersey. I can't take it off, though. It wasn't cursed for Bell, so I refuse to fully accept that it is cursed now.

Is the team wearing their home white jerseys again?

Yes, Cornell in white and last change again tonight.

OSU backs out of the tourney for just one year next year - due to them hosting the Frozen Four, the NCAA wants them to host their own holiday tourney to prepare.

Next year is Cornell, Maine, BC, and Saint Cloud .

Insane field... that could easily be all top 10.

Apparently Brown tied 1-1 with Findlay earlier today after losing to Wayne State yesterday.

Cornell hits the post, Knoepfli robbed by Betz, and then Cornell called for a penalty.

OSU now on pp for the next 1:40ish.

Vesce hits the post on a great PP shot, Knoepfli can't lift the rebound and Betz makes a great save. Moulson gets called for a cheap penalty.



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:08)

I think that's the first time I've heard Vesce's name all weekend. How did he play yesterday?

Cornell kills off the 4th OSU pp after Buckeyes unable to put together a good chance.

14:53 to go in the second. Cornell starting to get the better of the even strength play -- let's hope we see some of it!

Cornell kills penalty. Knoepfli feeds one perfectly to Pegoraro, but he shot it over the net. 14:45 left.

Yes, Vesce played yesterday. Only sub of a regular this weekend is Salmela in for Gleed. Adam commented that Salmela is playing well.

IGGULDEN!

McCutcheon's first point.

Iggy!!!!!

C-O-R-N-E-double L!

How??????????!!!!!!!!!!

GOAL!!! Iggulden came in on the goalies right and snapped in a perfect feed from McCutcheon from behind the net. Great hard-work goal.

Not quite halfway through the 2d. Still some very choppy passing in the offensive zone by Cornell, but that was a great play.



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:12)

Guess we did see something of that improved 5 on 5 play after all

From Adam: Iggy lightly tapped in a rebound off McCutcheon's shot, but I'll take the TV replay.

For those that care, Dartmouth's scored 3 unanswered goals to go up on Mankato 5-3 late in the 2nd.

Whew, OSU had a corner but missed the net. Still tied.

10:17 to go in the second.

Nice job by Dartmouth -- ECAC uber alles.

we all care, Ben...great job and thanks for the update!

Sure wish I had a dish or that Comcast carried CSTV......

That's what CSTV wants you to say...call Comcast and let them know

Yeah, I've sent about 200 emails to Comcast. Not working so far.

6:48 to go in the second. Lots of play stuck in the middle of the sheet.

IGGULDEN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called Time Warner last week and they laughed at me...they said their first priority was signing a contract with Fox Sports and MSG...now that the contract is signed, they should expect a lot of calls this week

why are we not playing davy after the goal....? or are my ears trying to make me think i'm nuts?

Any details of whats going on now? What period? Score
Thanks

at least they don't sound the fog horn after our goal...I bet they have a recording of our songs



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:26)

Scoring so far:

1 07:48 OSU Bernard 1 (?) pp
2 07:56 Cor Iggulden 1 (McCutcheon 1)
2 13:20 Cor Iggulden 2 (Cook 9)
2 15:10 OSU Caponigri 12 (unassisted)

A lot since my last update.

OSU comes close but the midget shot it wide on a 2-on-1. Hynes nearly broke in for one, but OSU tied up his stick just as he came across the crease. A lot of checking at center ice. Active teams.

Cook fires one from the point, Betz makes the save, but Iggy is able to slide the rebound under Betz.

Then Caponigri ties the game on a great individual move. 2-2.

HockeyGuy, score is 2-2 in the 2nd period (see the subject of the first post of the thread ). Both CU goals by Iggulden.

Who got the assists on the second one, by the way?



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:23)

OSU icing with less than 3 minutes left in the 2d. Let's take another faceoff.

After Iggy's goal, Caponigri, their leading scorer, went around Wallace like a traffic cone and roofed it.

They have recorded clips played over the P.A. after a given team's goal -- hence C-O-R-N-E-double L and not Davey.



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:25)

Now 7-3 Dartmouth after two periods.
Ouellette with 2 goals and Jessiman with a goal and three assists. Szymanski, Sampson, Turner, and Guimond with the other Dartmouth goals.

Now let's hope Dartmouth doesn't pull a Denver and blow it.

Moulson!!!

Moulson buries one after a scuffle to make it 3-2.

Moulson with a goal from the goalie's right side! (My previous post should have said 3:52 left.) 3-2 RED!!! 3 minutes left now.

Vesce had the goalie screened and tied up.



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:26)

Scoring on the last goal:

2 17:00 Cor Moulson 8 (Vesce 11)

Shots are 11-10 Cornell.

OSU going on pp.



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:27)

Carefoot just tackled an OSU player with the puck in front of the net. It was a penalty he HAD to take.

bra, adjust your subject line, you're gonna confuse everybody.

Period ends with OSU still on pp. Nice three goal period!

This is almost as good as having a dish! Nah!

feel like doing a 2nd period wrap-up?



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:34)

best of both worlds...cornell on the internet...and i can watch harvard vs clarkson on tv...from what i can see, i'm one of very few people actually watching that game...stands look empty.
i thought this was a 5pm start...

now, if only i were home, then i could watch cornell on tv...



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:34)

I'll leave the wrapup to bra, who is actually watching on tv -- I've just got the radio.

Fair enough, Greg.

Cornell really controlled play in the 2d. All three goals were hard-earned.

I assure you all that the first Iggulden goal came on a pass from McCutcheon. McCutcheon is having a great game. The second goal was mostly Cook's. He really blistered a shot from the point, Betz couldn't handle it, and Iggy just barely poked it through. I have to see the replay on the Moulson goal to see how he got set up.

Both teams are hitting HARD. A great game to watch.

Thanks guys for the updates, keep us updated during the 3rd as well
Thanks
Lets go big red, can anyone tell me if Kenny Bernard is playing for OSU, I believe hes #44 thansk

he got the first osu goal

thanks BRA(h)!

Yes, thanks for the updates, folks. My wife, also a CU 81 grad, just suggested that I'm the oldest one in this group reading/writing on this forum. Say it ain't so! (I still bleed CU red after nearly 23 years...). Going to Providence with my teenage son (and my CU hockey jersey) on Jan. 10 to see us beat Brown....

Updates on the scoring:

1 07:48 OSU Bernard (Knapp, Bittner) pp
2 07:56 Cor Iggulden 1 (McCutcheon 1, Wallace 4)
2 13:36 Cor Iggulden 2 (Cook 9)
2 15:10 OSU Caponigri (unassisted)
2 17:00 Cor Moulson 8 (Vesce 11)

Shots are 11-11.

just absorbed your last sentence...jerk

doubtful, Dan..that you're the oldest...granted you did graduate when I was born but still...I'm young



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:41)

Adam, when you were born???!! Ok, I'm going off to shoot myself now....

harvard's du...
perhaps we can call him 'doo-doo' at lynah east...

So much for Brown. After losing to Wayne State yesterday in OT, Brown tied Findlay today. Findlay is 4-12-3.

Yesterday was a tough day around the ECAC. The only winners were us and Vermont(!). Harvard, Clarkson, Brown, Union and Yale all lost. (Dartmouth lost to UMass in a shootout, but I think that counts as a tie.)

and the 3d has started.

Out of town scores:
Clarkson 1, Harvard 2 1st
Michigan 6, Mich Tech 2 F
Colgate 4, Northeastern 5 end of 2nd
Adam W was way off on the Dartmouth score
Dartmouth 7, Mankato 3 15 min to go
Union, UMass just got underway (http://storage-node1.cs.uml.edu/ram...oadcast/live.rm)
WSU 1, UND 2 end of 2nd
BC 3, MSU 2 end of 2nd
Yale vs Niagara starts in 20 min



Post Edited (12-28-03 17:53)

knights just scored on sucks on the coffee pot consy

Easy, Dan. As you know, we all take those threats very seriously...

Game on. McKee with a huge early save.

Now Hynes just wide on a feed from Pegs.

Good point, Adam. I forgot where I went to school for a moment. Used to be a bigger problem, though, back in the late 70s, early 80's. Ok, back to hockey...
