[Brett Gobe]

Missed the lines but Zalewski is a scratch as expected. Guthrie has been moved to center to fill in for Steve.

[Brett Gobe]

First period underway.

GOAL!!!

RUTHERGLEN tucks in a D'Alvise rebound

[Papa Smurf]

Lots of compliments for RIT's jerseys so far :p

[Brett Gobe]

Clarkson going on the PK.

Give Bellows an assist on the goal.

Weller breaks in. And D'Alvise is knocked down, and shaken. Clarkson headed on the power play. D'Alvise is up. Hope he is ok.

[Brett Gobe]

Let's keep tally of how many times Bob calls RIT, RPI.

So far its 1.5


D'Alvise back on the ice, the powerplay continues.

[Papa Smurf]

Gobe, are you heading up to Ottawa tomorrow?

[Brett Gobe]

Powerplay over. Leggio makes a nice stop on a 2 on 1. RIT takes a bad penalty as they run Leggio after the play. Clarkson back on the powerplay.

A Ton's ad?! Nice.

[Brett Gobe]

Gobe, are you heading up to Ottawa tomorrow?
Unfortunatly no. I'm on call for work. You?

I'll be there for sure in 3 weeks.

10 to play in the first. D'Alvise with a chance. Clarkson with 22 seconds of 5 on 3.

[Papa Smurf]

Unfortunatly no. I'm on call for work. You?

Unless I get REALLY motivated and decide to drive up there by myself, then no. I thought I had people together to do the trip, but it fell apart at the last minute.

Sounds like Clarkson needs to settle down a bit.

And as I say that, Cayer bangs one in (PP). 2-0 Clarkson.

[Brett Gobe]

That was quick as Guthrie hooks a man. 4 on 4 for a minute and change. Now a call on RIT. Clarkson back on the powerplay.

Cayer cleans up the trash.

2-0 Clarkson

[Brett Gobe]

Plus it sounds a little dead up there with it still being break and all. I think the Corel Center will be fuller than people expect tomorrow. Oh well. I think the home and home are gonna be pretty insane.


Cayer (6) from Dodge and Sullivan PPG

Short RIT powerplay, Genovy with a smart move to clear and kill time. Powerplay over. And with 6:18 Cayer takes a hooking call. RIT on the powerplay.

I seriously have never looked forward to hockey as much as I want to see the home-and-home. I'm taking that Friday off and going up Thursday night. I might try tailgating in Cheel (either the parking lot or the building, doesn't matter).

Sounds like the Knights are playing their game tonight. It would be nice if we could stay out of the box a bit more, but otherwise can't complain about too much so far.

[coolhandtouc]

hello all, just got here 2-Zip already....YEEHAAA!
Interesting isbister is on with weller and guthrie.

I'll be up Friday around 330. I'll be with the band, you know where to find me. You going to Appleton?

Smurf you are right, what a home and home, I should have put in the permission slip, but blew it.

[Brett Gobe]

End of 1.

Solid period from Clarkson. Good to see in a trap game like this.

More SLU weekend talk.

[Papa Smurf]

I'll be up Friday around 330. I'll be with the band, you know where to find me. You going to Appleton?

Yeah, we've got tickets in section F already (the first time we were smart enough to call ahead when they went on sale). All we need to do is figure out a way to get to Appleton and we're all set (driving's out of the question).

By 3:30 on Friday I fully intend to be less than sober. Which means it'll probably be Club 99 time.

[Papa Smurf]

Solid period from Clarkson. Good to see in a trap game like this.

You're not kidding about the trap game aspect. Really excited that the team seems to be playing well tonight. A nice, convincing win here is almost necessary here to set the tone for the rest of the season (I hate to say things like that because of the jinx implications, but I believe it to be true).

I think it's absolutly true. This is the type of game that if they came out flat in that period and have to spend alot of energy in the next two catching up, it has major reprecussions for tomorrow and the rest of the ECAC schedule, which isnt very kind in January with SLU 3 times and Colgate and Cornell on the road.

Got to come out just a strong in this period as the last. Hopefully theyll get a quick one and then go for the kill.

I'll buy you a beer in 99, cause I'm a big spender like that. :D

[Papa Smurf]

I'll buy you a beer in 99, cause I'm a big spender like that. :D

If they're still serving me at that point, I'll buy you one back :D

And we're about to start period #2. Let's get out to another good start guys.

[Brett Gobe]

Shots in the first were 18-4 in favor of Clarkson.

RIT takes the first penalty on the second. LET'S GO TECH!

[Brett Gobe]

RIT kills the penalty. Now Mason goes for interference.

14:39 in the second. Big kill for the Knights.

[Brett Gobe]

RIT gets one. Clarkson needs to focus now, and get it back.

[Papa Smurf]

RIT scores on a PP 3-on-1. Knights caught out of position according to Bob-n-Josh.

2-1 Tech now.

[coolhandtouc]

hopefully a wake up call, and we bury these guys.

[Papa Smurf]

Let's start this game over.

RIT puts another up. 2-2 now.

[Brett Gobe]

Uh-oh.

2 straight powerplay goals.

[Papa Smurf]

RIT takes the penalty, time for Clarkson to get the PP going.

[Brett Gobe]

Clarkson back on the powerplay.

[coolhandtouc]

PP for the knights....let's turn this game around.

[coolhandtouc]

3:50 to go in the period.....still 2-2.

Would be nice to get one before the end of the period for a momentum swing.

[Brett Gobe]

Under 2 to play in the second.

End of the second. Not a good period there.

[Brett Gobe]

3rd period is underway.

Nick Dodge is looking to put the team on his back again. Is there any doubt that he is the C next year?

Good work from Genovy's line. 18 and change to play in the 3rd.

[Brett Gobe]

Leggio bailing Clarkson out there. Where was the D? RIT with about 5 shots in a row.

Dodge working hard again. 16:32 to play in the 3rd.

[Papa Smurf]

Clarkson goal! Either Isbister or Guthrie (according to Bob)!

3-2 Knights.

[coolhandtouc]

3-2 KNIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brett Gobe]

ISBISTER with a tip!!

3-2 TECH!!!!

Bartell has candy on his pants!

[Papa Smurf]

Isbister gets his first of his career from Guthrie (12th assist of the year).

And Clarkson goes on the PP. Let's go Tech!

[Brett Gobe]

Isbister (1) from Guthrie 6:05 Isbister's first career goal.

Clarkson on the powerplay. Time to cash one in.

[Brett Gobe]

11:32 to play in the 3rd.

Penalty killed. Good kill from RIT. Clarkson cant get complacent.

4 on 4 coming up. Isbister almost had career goal #2.

[Brett Gobe]

Scratch that. Guthrie took a major penalty for a hit from behind. Looks like 5 and a game misconduct so he will be availible tomorrow. But that was a dumb dum dumb mistake. Clarkson on the kill.

[Papa Smurf]

D'Alvise with the shorty! 4-2 Tech.

Still killing off the 5 min major on Guthrie. Sounds like he'll be around tomorrow at least.

[Brett Gobe]

D'ALVISE scores shorthanded!!!

Assist to Paquet.

What an odd game.

[Brett Gobe]

D'Alvise (4) from Paquet 11:42

RIT took a bad penalty to negate what was left of the power play.
Powerplay over. Solid kill from the Knights.

Under 5 to play in the 3rd.

[Brett Gobe]

Out of Town Scores

I think I took Harvard-Union as a tie tonight! I don't remember and I'm too lazy to look :D

Let's go Techers, put up a good finish here.

[Papa Smurf]

And Dodge rings up the empty-netter.

5-2 Clarkson.

[Brett Gobe]

1:14 left in the 3rd. Empty net for RIT.

Dodge seals the deal with an empty net goal.

5-2 Clarkson.

[Brett Gobe]

Dodge (10) from Cayer at 19:42.

And thats a final. 5-2

Not the best win, but a win none the less.

[Papa Smurf]

Dodge (10) from Cayer at 19:42.

And thats a final. 5-2

Not the best win, but a win none the less.

It would have been nice to see a good 60, but tonight I'll settle for a really good 40.

And now we can officially look ahead to tomorrow :D
