CLARKSON VERSUS harvard January 12, 2008

[Goldie Knight]

Just a few comments from George Roll and Bob Ahlfeld about the Dartmouth game last knight. George credited Phil Paquet and Chris D'Alvise for playing very well. After watching the game video, George felt we outchanced Dartmouth 2 to 1. George said the Golden Knights will have to bounce back with a better effort against Harvard toknight.

CLARKSON....SCORE, SCORE, SCORE, AND SCORE SOME MORE TOKNIGHT.

The Clarkson Pep Band is in attendance again this evening, as are Donny Smith and Kevin O'Flaherty. We are underway with Period 1 action. Clarkson is wearing its new gold jerseys....let's hope that brings them some good luck.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson had a good opportunity to score, with a play started by Bryan Rufenach. But the puck was under the Harvard goaltender.

It seems the Harvard is winning a lot of the faceoffs.

Mike Willemsen is called for goaltender interference....too bad. Harvard is on the power play.

Harvard puts on pressure, but does not score. Phil Paquet clears the puck out of the crease.

The power play is over for Harvard....whew...no score yet.

[Goldie Knight]

Gary Mikel just said that Clarkson has given up the first goal in seven consecutive games.....oh my, that's terrible. We need to reverse that trend right away.

CHRIS D'ALVISE KNOCKS IN HIS OWN REBOUND FOR CLARKSON'S FIRST GOAL.

ASSISTS GIVEN TO STEVE ZALEWSKI AND MATT BECA......GREAT WORK GUYS!

David Leggio made a good save and Adam Bellows made a good defensive play to prevent Harvard from getting the puck again.

Chris D'Alvise loses his stick, but David Leggio made another save, during the Harvard power play.

Another great play by Adam as he clears the puck down the ice.

David Leggio made a brilliant save off a backhand shot by a Harvard player.

Now Steve takes a faceoff and wins it.

END OF PERIOD 1........SCORE........CLARKSON 1......harvard.....ZERO

[Goldie Knight]

Period 2 has begun...as it continues, I may have to take a leave of absence from posting to watch my favorite football team from Foxboro. Hopefully, both the Patriots and the Golden Knights will earn victories in Massachusetts toknight.

Shea Guthrie just hit the post and the puck bounced back out....what a shame! Never give up, Shea.

[Goldie Knight]

Chris D'Alvise took a good shot on goal....and one of those crimson creatures goes off to the sin bin.

Clarkson power play.........more goals, please.:)

Chris shoots again, but misses.

Scott Freeman is injured....he goes off the ice slowly.

Power play for CU is over.

It's great to hear the CU Pep Band in the background.

Scott Freeman and Shea Guthrie have not returned to the ice. I beg your pardon; Shea just returned....thank goodness. Scott, we hope you are okay and can return to the ice soon.

[Goldie Knight]

Harvard has been buzzing around the net, and they scored their first goal of the game to tie it up at 1 ~ 1.

Really rotten that Clarkson could not clear the puck out of the zone.

Now Mike Willemsen is sent to the penalty box.:(

Harvard goes on the power play....but they don't need any more goals toknight anyway.
