CLARKSON VERSUS the brownies, February 15, 2008

[Goldie Knight]

Okay, here we go folks.

Good luck to the Clarkson Golden Knights toknight as they begin a four-game road trip. We will start this evening in Providence, Rhode Island, and do our best to beat the brownies.

I can hear the Clarkson Pep Band already....what enthusiasm they add to the hockey environment.

[Goldie Knight]

Steve Zalewski wins the face off....Grant Clitsome feeds Dan Reed who falls and Brown takes a shot on David Leggio.

Chris D'Alvise takes a shot, high and wide. Brown also took a shot on our goal.

[Goldie Knight]

Well, Tim Marks is back in the lineup.:)

Brown takes a tripping penalty.

Clarkson seems to be controlling the power play for about 45 seconds.

Too bad, after a couple of good Clarkson shots, the power play expires. Clarkson could not score.

[Goldie Knight]

Scott Freeman brings the puck into the Brown zone.

Control switches back and forth.

Shea Guthrie takes a pass from Dan Reed, and Shea shoots the puck on goal.

Nick Dodge brings the puck across the line and passes to Brandon DeFazio, who takes a good shot on goal.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson is putting on good pressure in the Brown zone.

11:07 remains in Period 1.

Brown scores on the high glove side of David Leggio:mad: BUMMER

brown 1 CLARKSON 0

[daredevilcu]

Goldie, you should come into the chat room. It's friendly, I promise... eww.. 2-0 brown.

[Goldie Knight]

Brown is putting some good pressure on Clarkson. Their goal is the first one David Leggio has given up in over 100 minutes of play.

Oh my....no....on a missed pass by Clarkson...those little brownies just scored their second goal of the evening.:mad: awful, simply awful. Clarkson is down by two goals.

[Goldie Knight]

Thank you, daredevilCU. I don't think I am even registered to be there, and I do enjoy what I am doing right now....except I hate it when the Golden Knights are behind.

Chris D'Alvise fired a shot on the brown goalie, but missed.

[Goldie Knight]

Shea Guthrie was buried in the corner....scored Clarkson's first goal on a wrap around. Grant Clitsome earns the assist, and possibly Scott Freeman earns one too.

CLARKSON 1......those darn brownies....2

[Goldie Knight]

Matt Beca has a couple of chances to tie the game.

Clarkson is on the power play again. Grant Clitsome takes a shot on goal.
CU power play is over.

Brown is still blasting that puck at David Leggio....those little varmints.
Brown is getting way too many chances to shoot at David.

Shea Guthrie takes another shot on goal, and a second one.

Nick Dodge and Grant Clitsome go in on a two-on-one....but you know what happened....nothing.

Period 1 ends with the score CLARKSON 1....the brownies...2

[Goldie Knight]

Period 2 has begun.

Clarkson outshot the brownies 18 ~ 10 in the first period.

Brandon DeFazio shoots on goal.

I don't know (m)any of the brown players, so I don't call them by name. Quite honestly, I don't need to know any of them anyway.

David Leggio made a couple of good saves, and Clarkson comes down the ice.

[Goldie Knight]

Now Chris D'Alvise takes a shot on the brown goal. Brown also had a good chance to score...but didn't.

Dan Tuttle wins the faceoff, but brown gets the puck shortly afterwards.

Tim Marks takes a shot on goal...Bryan Rufenach's shot is blocked.

Adam Bellows is hooked down, but no call against the brownies....their next victim is Scott Freeman who is slashed at...and again no call is made.

[Goldie Knight]

11 minutes left in Period 2.

The score is not a good one for the Golden Knights...

Clarkson 1...the bad little brownies....2

[Goldie Knight]

The net is lifted off its moorings....faceoff in brown's zone.

Steve Zalewski takes a good shot, it hits the ankle of a brownie and rebounds out, but Steve could not knock the puck in the net. Did we forget that brown is in 11th place or tied for 11th place?

[Goldie Knight]

David Leggio makes a pad save....a punch is thrown at Tim Marks....both of them receive a penalty. Four on four helps Clarkson as we are down by a goal.

Phil Paquet controls the puck for a while, but it is taken away from him.

Matt Beca just misses scoring, and Grant Clitsome did not fare any better.

CHRIS D'ALVISE SCORES CLARKSON'S SECOND GOAL..WITH AN ASSIST GIVEN TO SHEA GUTHRIE....WAY TO GO GUYS.

[Heyotter]

Well within a minute of me turning on the game, D'Alvise ties it up at 2. That's good timing.

[Goldie Knight]

The score is tied at 2 each...with about five minutes left in Period 2.

Brown is now going on the power play....let's hope they do poorly.:)

I was interrupted for a few minutes and could not be on line....did anything happen?

[Goldie Knight]

There are about five minutes gone in the third period....the score is still tied at 2 each.

LET'S GO TECHERS.....ON TO VICTORY.....as a penalty is called against the little brownies.

[Goldie Knight]

STEVE ZALEWSKI SCORES A POWER PLAY GOAL FOR CLARKSON....ASSISTS GIVEN TO MATT BECA AND GRANT CLITSOME.

YES, IT IS A GOLDEN GOAL FOR OUR KNIGHTS.:)

[Goldie Knight]

OH DEAR, BRANDON DEFAZIO JUST SCORED....BUT THE GOAL WAS WAVED OFF BECAUSE THE NET WAS OFF ITS MOORINGS.....AWFUL, SIMPLY AWFUL.

[Goldie Knight]

With 11 minutes to go in the third period, the score is

CLARKSON....3....the little brown brownies....2

[Goldie Knight]

This brown team does not play like a bottom of the barrel team.

8:08 left in Period 3.

Whew...this game is still a little too close for our comfort. We need some more goals.

[Goldie Knight]

Scott Freeman stole the puck and passes it around, but the brownies took it back and shot the puck at David Leggio.

OH NO, those little brown bears took the puck, and due to a CU defensive error, put it into the Clarkson net.

The score is tied at three....what did I just say about Clarkson getting more goals?

4:21 remains in the period.

[Goldie Knight]

Steve Zalewski was tackled and no call was made.

2 minutes left to play.

David Leggio continues to makes saves for Clarkson.

[Goldie Knight]

Clarkson is putting on good pressure.

Nick Dodge and David Cayer were both tackled.....no call on either play. George is furious.....Alex Dell belongs somewhere else instead of in a hockey rink.

Period 3 ends with a 3 ~ 3 tie....we are going to overtime....unbelievable.

[Goldie Knight]

The overtime period has begun.

Nick Dodge is okay after being mistreated by one of the brownies.

LET'S GO TECHERS.....DO WE EVER NEED TWO POINTS TOKNIGHT.

[Heyotter]

WWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!

Goal by Cayer from the top of the circle! Knights win!!!

[Goldie Knight]

Wow, those little brown brownies are having some good chances to score.

Chris D'Alvise steals the puck, but the brownies get it again.

Nick Dodge gets it out of the CU zone. Icing is called on Clarkson. Steve Zalewski takes the faceoff. Adam Bellows shoots on goal. Matt Beca does a turn-around shot on goal. Phil Paquet takes the puck out of the zone, and tosses his man to the ice.

Chris D'Alvise shoots the puck and then Grant Clitsome does the same thing. Chris nearly scored the winning goal.....pressure, Clarkson, pressure.

DAVID CAYER SCORES ON A SLAPSHOT FROM THE POINT.

CLARKSON WINS FOUR TO THREE:)
