CLARKSON at Harvard February 18, 2005

[Goldie Knight]

The game has begun. Jay Latulippe is playing, but Nick Dodge is not.

Our Pep Band is providing its great music, and many Clarkson fans are there to support the team.

No score half-way through the first period. Harvard is blasting the puck repeatedly at Dustin, but Dustin is playing tough.

LET'S GO TECHERS.

[Goldie Knight]

Still no score---5 minutes remain in Period 1.

Clarkson has had a couple of good shots on goal.

[Goldie Knight]

At 3:01 Clarkson goes on their second power play of the game.

POUR ON THE POWER, CLARKSON GOLDEN KNIGHTS.

[Goldie Knight]

Chris Blight's shot was stopped by Grumet Morris.

Darn it, a Harvard player stole the puck and went in alone to score.

harvard 1 Clarkson 0

[Goldie Knight]

A backbreaking short-handed goal by Harvard, after stealing the puck from one of our freshmen defensemen. BOO

Clarkson has had its chances, but Harvard has had more.

[Goldie Knight]

Period 2 has started.

Harvard has had a couple of good shots on Dustin.

[Goldie Knight]

Harvard is ranked ninth in the country and is on a six-game winning streak. They also have six NHL draft choices. There must be something else wonderful about this Harvard team?

Harvard penalty at 3:06 seconds of the second period.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson did not score on the power play.

Another Harvard breakaway, Dustin stands tall.

12:12 remains in Period 2

[Goldie Knight]

Nick Dodge, who has been a leading face off winner, was not able to make the trip this weekend due to his back injury.

Clarkson has only had two shors on goal this period.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson penalty--holding--called on Max Kolu.

Harvard just scored on the power play. Dustin made the original save, but he could do no more. Too bad.

CLARKSON 0

8:52 remain in the second period

[Goldie Knight]

Claarkson has taken some good shots on their power play. Both Grant and Steve have had good shots on goal.

[Goldie Knight]

Bob felt the Golden Knights are just a little bit off kitler, just not clicking perfectly toknight.

[Goldie Knight]

Kenny Scuderi called for delay of game at 15:33 of the second period.

[Goldie Knight]

Harvard slap shot by Noah Welch. Dustin never saw the shot coming from the point.

[Goldie Knight]

Harvard penalty for obstruction holding

Harvard's third and fourth goals were scored about 35 seconds apart. :(

[Goldie Knight]

Period 2 is over.

So sorry to report that Harvards leads 4 to 0.

[CUKnight]

ugh.......

[Goldie Knight]

Period 3 has begun.

Clarkson is attempting to generate more offense...more shots on goal.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson is going on its sixth power play of this game.

[Goldie Knight]

David Cayer had a good shot on goal.

Nick Dodge is dearly missed on the face offs. He is winning over 50% of the face offs he takes.

[Goldie Knight]

The Golden Knights are certainly trying hard, but Harvard is playing better with a lot of talent.

Shawn Weller had a great shot on goal, but Grumet Morris stopped it.

11:15 remains in the third period. It doesn't look good for earning any points toknight. :mad:

[Goldie Knight]

Elbowing penalty called against Clarkson--Mac Faulkner.

Here goes Harvard on another power play.

[Goldie Knight]

The Clarkson coaches were very happy with the way the Golden Knights skated in practice this afternoon. BUT, Harvard is a very tough opponent, especially playing at home.

6:06 remains in Period 3

[Goldie Knight]

Harvard scores its fifth goal with 2:47 remaining....a bouncing puck in the crease which Dustin just couldn't grab it before a Harvard player put it in the net.

CLARKSON 0

harvarad 5 :(

[Goldie Knight]

Harvard goes on its fifth power play.

Between Dartmouth and Harvard, Clarkson has given up 10 goals in the last two games. Clarkson has scored one gola in the last two games.

BUMMER

FINAL SCORE harvard 5 CLARKSON 0

Have a better knight than the Golden Knights have had.

EGAD! 5-0? I will do my version of Vic b's good and bad:

The Good:
I am in Fla and it is 72 degrees, and not in the rat race for 12 days! :D

The bad:
Our offense cant seem to get on track.


How many games have we scored more than three? :eek:

[Goldie Knight]

Dear Mr. Cool,

We are in the Tampa, FL, area. Where are you in Florida? I hope you are enjoying this lovely spring-like weather here. It is nice to be somewhere somewhat removed from the North Country and the sadness of losing to Harvard last night. That loss was downright dismal and depressing. It must be such a downer for the team and their coaches. I do think, though, that when things start to go wrong, this team cannot just pull itself back together. That is exactly what happened last weekend at Dartmouth. Between Dartmouth and Harvard, we had ten goals scored against us, and we have scored just one goal in two games. What a dreadful situation.

Dear Vic,

You mentioned you were surprised that Princeton beat Dartmouth last night. Well, the way Princeton played against us, I was amazed how good they were. On any given night, that Princeton team could defeat anyone in the ECAC.

I feel so sorry for the Golden Knights and equally sorry for all of their ever-faithful fans. I still believe without Matt Nickerson, the Golden Knights will not be able to reach the level they attained last season. But, I would love to be wrong about that.

The team is probably now in Providence, Rhode Island and just waiting to

BEAT THE BROWN BEARS TOKNIGHT! :)

Hiya Goldie,
I am in sunny Siesta Key, Sarasota. About an hour south of Tampa. The weather is gorgeous......just got off the beach with my two little ones. Waiting for reinforcements to arrive ( wife flies in today) never have them out number ya! :D
Just spoke to my mother in Westchester county ....she said it was cold and expecting snow......she said she is on her way down here too.


Now for the important stuff......
Gotta beat brown tonite.....2 points out of this weekend would not be bad at all.
