CLARKSON versus harvard November 3, 2006

[Goldie Knight]

WOW, Greetings from Florida.

Congratulations to BRODIE RUTHERGLEN, with assists from TIM MARKS AND ADAM BELLOWS....on Clarkson's first goal of the game.

CLARKSON 1.....harvard zero at 9:44 of the first period.

[Goldie Knight]

Darn it...Max Kolu goes to the penalty box and harvard scores at 12:36 of the first period....a shorthanded goal.

Score tied at one each.

[Goldie Knight]

It looks like Matt Curley is going to the penalty box.

Let's go Clarkson....score with four!

[Goldie Knight]

Nick Dodge was going in alone and was dragged down on a breakaway.

Clarkson goes on the power play.

Some good opportunities, but to no avail.

[Goldie Knight]

The first period ends with each team scoring one goal.

KNOW NO LIMITS, CLARKSON GOLDEN KNIGHTS.

[Goldie Knight]

Period 2 is underway.....

Shawn Weller and Steve Zalewski had a good chance.....but

Tyrell Mason goes to the penalty box for interference.....too bad.

[Goldie Knight]

Shawn Weller nearly stole the puck....but he missed.

Clarkson looked sharp on this penalty kill.....great news.

Oh my, Harvard just scored in the remaining seconds of the power play. David Leggio had no chance on this turn-around goal.

Clarkson 1......harvard 2

[Goldie Knight]

David Leggio made a brilliant save on Kevin Du.

I hear that great CU Pep Band, which apparently is playing without any competition tonight.

Clarkson is going on the power play.

POUR ON THE POWER, CLARKSON GOLDEN KNIGHTS.

[Goldie Knight]

Power play is over for Clarkson.

Clarkson is zero for three on their power play attempts toknight.

About ten minutes remain in Period 2.

Clarkson 1.....harvard 2:mad:

[Goldie Knight]

SHAWN WELLER SCORES CLARKSON'S SECOND GOAL FROM DAVID CAYER AND MATT CURLEY AT
10:29 OF PERIOD 2 :)

[Goldie Knight]

NICK DODGE....SCORES A SHORTHANDED GOAL WHILE HARVARD WAS ON THE POWER PLAY.

CLARKSON 3.....harvard 2

[Goldie Knight]

Matt Beca just missed scoring.

Clarkson is really playing well now...huge momentum factor for the Knights.

[Goldie Knight]

Is anyone else having a problem with the Clarkson feed? I seem to have lost the audio portion of the broadcast. I guess that would be okay as long as harvard does not score another goal all knight.:)

[ChuckNajimy]

Mine's ok...

end of 2 score: 3-2 cct

[nickg4]

Not listening to the feed, just waiting for your posts!

[Goldie Knight]

Thanks, Chuck, I must have been disconnected for a few minutes....perhaps by some unhappy harvard fans :), but all is well now.

Talking with Shawn Weller last weekend at Cheel, he mentioned just how important it was that the Golden Knights play great hockey this weekend in New England. What an example Shawn set by scoring his awesome goal to tie the game at two each. And then, how about Nick Dodge....sheer talent and determination guided him to score that shorthanded goal to put Clarkson ahead 3 ~ 2.

We have been in Florida for a few days, and I must have missed hearing anything about Clarkson's assistant captain, Matt Curley. Is Matt the only assistant captain this season?

KNOW NO LIMITS, CLARKSON GOLDEN KNIGHTS!

[ChuckNajimy]

I just heard about Matt in the pregame with George and Bob. Didn't really hear all of it. I think George said that right now it's just Matt. There may be another later in the year if someone steps up as a leader.

[Stemmer]

Thanks for the updates Goldie. Gotta take the dog out now but I'll be back for the third period.

LGT!!!

[Goldie Knight]

Is it possible that there is no score between Dartmouth and SLU after two periods?

And how about Quinnipiac leading Union 6 to 0 after two periods in Schenectady?

Period 3 will be beginning shortly.

CLARKSON, SCORE EARLY, SCORE OFTEN

[Goldie Knight]

Rich....you and the dog. Are you planning to bring him to Cheel Arena at Thanksgiving time?

[Goldie Knight]

Chuck...thanks for the update about Matt Curley being named as the Assistant Captain. This is the latest I can ever remember a leader being named to that position.

[Goldie Knight]

MIKE SULLIVAN SCORES FROM THE TOP OF THE CREASE.....HIS FIRST OF THE SEASON....GOOD FOR YOU, MIKE.

CLARKSON 4......harvard 2

[Goldie Knight]

Well, how about that.....Harvard is sending a player to the penalty box....how nice of them to do that for us. :)

CLARKSON, SCORE EARLY, SCORE OFTEN.

[Goldie Knight]

David Leggio is right on his game toknight. Actually, he has given Harvard enough goals already, hasn't he? :)

[Goldie Knight]

The Golden Knights have scored three straight goals.

13:54 remains in Period 3.

[Goldie Knight]

Harvard is exerting some pressure on the Knights. I know Teddy Donato is very annoyed that his team is behind by two goals.....too bad ;)

David Leggio just made a terrific save.

[Goldie Knight]

Two players, one from each team, are sent to the sin bin.

I'm sorry I didn't hear the names.

[Goldie Knight]

Now Harvard is down a man for hitting Matt Curley.

How awful...Mike Sullivan is called for interference. Three on three for a little while.

[Goldie Knight]

CHRIS D'ALVISE FROM SHEA GUTHRIE AT 10:09 OF PERIOD THREE

CLARKSON 5 harvard still 2

[Goldie Knight]

7:22 left in Period 3. And guess what? Harvard committed another mistake and one of the crimson is going to the penalty box.

[Goldie Knight]

CLARKSON goes back on the power play....much to their fans' delight.

Power play is over.

5:22 remains in Period 3.

[Goldie Knight]

Brodie Rutherglen is having his best game of the season toknight....and what an excellent time to do that. Brodie scored Clarkson's first goal and his first goal of the season.

3:21 remains in Period 3.

[Goldie Knight]

David Leggio makes two good saves.

2:19 left in the game. A Golden Knight (Matt Curley) is sent to the penalty box.

Harvard has pulled its goaltender.

[Goldie Knight]

Harvard is playing with a six on four advantage.

Under a minute to play in the game.

Phil Paquette blocks a shot, and then he is called for a penalty with 25 seconds left.

Harvard now has a six on three power play as their goaltender has been pulled. Harvard must wonder if they can ever score again on David Leggio.

Time out Clarkson

LET'S GO TECHERS....ON TO YOUR FIRST ECAC VICTORY THIS SEASON.:)

[Goldie Knight]

WE WON. :) :) :)

OUR FIRST ECAC ROAD VICTORY SINCE LAST NOVEMBER.....WOW, WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT FOR OUR GOLDEN KNIGHTS.

FINAL SCORE:

CLARKSON 5..... harvard...only 2

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT?

[MikeR]

Matt Beca just missed scoring.

Clarkson is really playing well now...huge momentum factor for the Knights.

Nice post Goldie....just heard Coach Roll's post game comments, said "turning point of the game".

Rich....you and the dog. Are you planning to bring him to Cheel Arena at Thanksgiving time?

Ann, knowing that you and David are at least as big dog-lovers as we are, I'll let you get away with that one. ;)

And yes, Cody will be making the North Country trip with us. Scott Smalling pointed us to a kennel in Canton for the last trip.

He won't make it inside Cheel although he has walked past it a couple of times. He's been to Tech so many times, I think he should have earned a degree by now. But his skating needs some work. :)

Perhaps Scott can use him as a security dog when some of the more unruly visiting fans come to Cheel. He is a (friendly) Doberman, after all!

[Goldie Knight]

Yes, Rich, your family and mine are definitely dog lovers. I was, in fact, just teasing you with that comment. We will be back at Cheel for the Thanksgiving games, so it will be great to actually see you in person again.

And, you know, Scott would love to have some added protection around the arena. Once in a while, some folks do need some extra surveillance.:)

KNOW NO LIMITS, CLARKSON GOLDEN KNIGHTS.
