CLARKSON versus saint cloud state university....November 17, 2006

[Goldie Knight]

St. Cloud State has had three consecutive ties. They are rated 15th and 17th in the national polls. They have played some tough opponents this year.

Both Gary and Bob agreed that Clarkson was not on their "A" games last weekend.

George Roll feels Clarkson needs to put last weekend behind them. The way we played last Friday knight was very undisciplined. SCSU is a quick team, with a larger ice surface than that at Cheel. George feels the matchup should be a good one. Michael Grenzy will be dressed to play toknight....he has been missed in the lineup. George says hello to everybody back at home.

The game will begin at 8:07 Eastern Time.

Hi Goldie....LGT!!!

[Goldie Knight]

Hi Mike,

How are you? We are down here in Florida with our daughter and her family. Finally Florida is having some wonderful weather. I do wish we were in Minnesota for this weekend though.

KNOW NO LIMITS, CLARKSON GOLDEN KNIGHTS.

[Goldie Knight]

The game is underway. Gary Mikel is doing the broadcasts with Bob this weekend. Phil Paquette blocked a good shot by scsu, as they went in on a 3 on 2 break.

[Goldie Knight]

Michael Grenzy is on his regular shift now. David Cayer steals the puck, but to no avail.

SCSU has had a couple of shots on David Leggio.

Shea Guthrie is dumped to the ice. After another infraction, SCSU is called for hooking on Max Kolu. A Clarkson power play begins.

[Goldie Knight]

Shawn Weller had two great shots on the scsu goaltender, but the power play expires without a Clarkson score.....too bad.

12:48 left to go in Period 1.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson's passes don't seem to be connecting as well as they should be.

Nick Dodge had a good shot on goal.

Then scsu had a shot on David Leggio, who knocked the puck out of the air and away from the goal.

[Goldie Knight]

Chris D'Alvise is sitting out the first period.

scsu just shot on goal...there is a dispute as to whether or not the puck went into the net. As the scsu fans are chanting, the validity of the goal is under review. The news is NO GOAL FOR scsu....whew....

[Goldie Knight]

The Golden Knights are taking several shots on goal....from Matt Beca and Shawn Weller.

8:52 remains in Period 1

[Goldie Knight]

Shots on goal.....seven for each team.

David Leggio gets slashed in the jaw as the puck was loose near David's head.

There is a vast difference in refereeing between this division, the WCHA?, and the ECAC.

[Goldie Knight]

David Leggio continues to make some great saves....after a turnover by Clarkson in their zone.

NO SCORE YET.

[Goldie Knight]

There is a dramatic improvement in the way the Golden Knights are playing toknight in contrast to how they played last weekend at Cheel Arena.

Now scsu is called for cross checking on Grant Clitsome.

LET'S GO TECHERS.....SCORE EARLY, SCORE OFTEN.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson power play.....

Shawn Weller was stopped again by the scsu goalie....this is three times he has stopped Shawn.

The puck just hopped over Steve Zalewski's stick.

Shea Guthrie takes a shot on goal.

1:45 remain in Period 1.

[Goldie Knight]

SHOTS ON GOAL SCSU.....14.......CLARKSON 10....GOOD FOR YOU, DAVID LEGGIO.

PERIOD 1 ENDS WITH NO SCORE.

The Golden Knights traveled yesterday and had a 9 PM skate in Minnesota last knight.

[Goldie Knight]

Period 2 begins with a scsu goal......after 23 seconds in Period 2.

That's too bad because I was hoping Clarkson would score first.:mad:

[Goldie Knight]

Chris D'Alvise is on the ice now...and broke his stick while attempting to shoot.

Once again, Bob and Gary discuss the major differences in officiating between the ECAC and the WCHA(?). Bob describes it as a knight and day difference.

[Goldie Knight]

Nick Dodge and David Cayer went in on a two on one break, but they had no good fortune to score.

End to end action, and shots taken by Chris D'Alvise and Shea Guthrie.

Clarkson.....we need some goals please.

[Goldie Knight]

Brodie Rutherglen took a shot on goal.

Now scsu went in on another 3 on 2, but David Leggio was able to keep the puck out of the net.

14:14 remain in Period 2.

scsu....1 CLARKSON.....0

[Goldie Knight]

scsu is keeping David Leggio very busy....probably busier than he would like to be. Adam Bellows made a couple of great defensive plays to prevent any more scsu goals.

The officials are calling offsides very closely.

[Goldie Knight]

scsu is not allowing any second chances for Clarkson to score.

SHOTS ON GOAL: 22 FOR scsu.........14 FOR CLARKSON

Steve Zalewski just misses a tip in.

David Cayer just missed scoring, hitting the goal post.

[Goldie Knight]

Here are some ECAC final scores.

BROWN....2 the fading Crimson.....1.....in Cambridge, MA

cornell.....3....Princeton.....2...in New Jersey

6:45 remain in Period 2.

[Goldie Knight]

Steve Zalewski and Matt Beca combine, but they cannot get the puck past the scsu goaltender.

scsu just misses scoring a goal.

2:50 remain in Period 2.

Max Kolu took a shot on goal.

Clarkson penalty on Tim Marks for cross checking.....Clarkson's first penalty.

SCORE WITH FOUR, CLARKSON GOLDEN KNIGHTS.:)

[Goldie Knight]

scsu power play is over.

Tim Marks gets out of the penalty box and goes in alone, but he is harasssed by a scsu player and can't score.

Period 2 is over.

SCORE: scsu....1......CLARKSON.....0

[Goldie Knight]

Another final ECAC score....The Q defeats Colgate 3 ~ 1....in Hamden, CT, I believe.

[Goldie Knight]

Period 3 begins with another darn scsu goal.....20 seconds into the period.

Score.....CLARKSON....0....scsu....2....very bad news for Clarkson fans.:mad:

[Goldie Knight]

Chris D'Alvise to Shea Guthrie....for a shot, but no goal.

Yale is leading Dartmouth 3 ~ 1 in Hanover, NH.

Let's Go Techers.....it's time to work even harder.

David Cayer's shot, screened by Nick Dodge, misses the net.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson penalty against Matt Curley for slashing at 3:53 of Period 3.
This is only Clarkson's second penalty of the game.

David Leggio continues to make good saves. Clarkson has had a decent effort in this game.

Clarkson is back at full strength.

[Goldie Knight]

Phil Paquette shoved a scsu player into the boards and receives a five-minute major penalty and probably a game misconduct.

More bad news for the Golden Knights. This is Phil's third five-minute penalty this year.

[Goldie Knight]

9:27 remain in Period 3.

David Leggio comes through with another fine save. The five-minute penalty to Phil Paquette is over. BUT

scsu scores its third goal of the knight from the face off....simply awful.:mad:

[Goldie Knight]

6:27 remain in Period 3.

Penalties....only five total have been called.

The score is scsu....3........CLARKSON ..0:(

[Goldie Knight]

Mike Grenzy had a decent shot on goal, but the scsu goaltender is very sharp....and he is the backup goaltender.

ECAC final score...Yale defeats Dartmouth in Hanover, NH.

Clarkson is being outshot 40 to 23:o

[Goldie Knight]

Shawn Weller is foiled again in his scoring attempt.

David Leggio is pulled.

And guess what? ......an empty net goal scored by scsu....their fourth goal of the knight.

Final score.....CLARKSON....shut out............scsu.....4

That's all,folks......have a good knight.
