[FireKnight]

Seems there's no chat room working yet, so I figured I'd start a thread.

LET'S GO TECH!

[gocu11]

Beca-DeFazio-D'Alvise
Tremblay-Tuohimaa-Freeman
Marks-Oakley-Tamblyn
Marshall-Morley-Crowe

Paquet-Borowiecki
Mason-Rufenach
Reed-Pizzo

Karpowich

[FireKnight]

Wow, what a young lineup. I suspect we're gonna be weak on the PK this weekend.

The audio isn't working on B2 for me, so I've got Bob in iTunes and b2 in a separate window. I hope they aren't too far apart.

[Bill]

1-0 RIT 4:02 1st:mad:

[FireKnight]

Clarkson playing a lot of dump and stand around so far.

[Drew]

No Chat and 1-0 RIT..I am off to a banner night.

[placid]

RIT has the worst live-stats feed I've ever seen!

[Clarksy]

I am anxiously awaiting the first "incensed" of the season.

[Bill]

Tuohimaa goal waved off...... net off:mad:

[FireKnight]

Tuohimaa goal waved off for the net being off, it appeared to be the correct call. :(

[Bill]

RIT Goal 2-0!

[Clarksy]

Oy vey....

[FireKnight]

Geez, Clarkson winning this period everywhere but on the scoreboard.

[Bill]

D'Alvise - 2 posts already -- can't hit the net yet

[Drew]

Wow.....1st period of the 1st game...and it sure looks like it.

[Bill]

End of 1 RIT 2, Knights 0.

[FireKnight]

Did I hear correctly that both CC games are sold out? I got my ticket for Saturday, but I thought Friday's were still available, ugh. :mad:

Refs back on the ice LGT!!!

[chuck]

No chat tonight?

[chuck]

2-1 D'alvise

[FireKnight]

d'Alvise shows who the best skater on the ice is. What a hard working shift from Chris. 2-1 Tigers.

[Bill]

D'Alvise!!!! Finds the net - 2-1 - assists - Paquet & DeFazio

[Bill]

Well - 1st penalty of the year ---- Guess who?

[Drew]

Agreed, he should have an 'A'

[FireKnight]

Well - 1st penalty of the year ---- Guess who?

Was a pretty bad slash too. Paquet didn't lose a step on his man, there was no reason for the slash.

[Bill]

Penalty Killed - 2 good saves by Karpo

[chuck]

D'alvise again!!!

[Bill]

D'Alvise again -- unassisted 2-2:)

[FireKnight]

Wrist shot 5 hole using the defenseman as a screen. d'Alvise with his second of the knight!!!

[Drew]

WOW......nice goal!! D'Alvise 2-2 now.

[Bill]

KRAP!!!! RIT Goal 3-2!

[Bill]

PP coming up

[Bill]

Beca! PP goal - assist DeFazio & D'Alvise 3-3
But now a tripping penalty.

[FireKnight]

Tuohimaa with a trip.

I think d'Alvise will get an assist on the Beca goal as well.

[Bill]

PK'd - 2 more good saves by Karpowich

[Bill]

Tuohimaa scores assist DeFazio and Freeman?? 4-3 CCT

[Drew]

Wow....OFFENSE! OFFENSE!!! OFFENSE!!

[FireKnight]

Great showing from the offense. RIT is a small and relatively speedy team by eastern hockey standards, this should bode well for us playing Princeton and the like. :)

[Bill]

End of 2 - 4-3 with 4 goals in the 2nd. LGT for the 3rd!!!

[FireKnight]

End of 2, 4-3 KNIGHTS!!!

Great comeback, hopefully just a bit of getting the game legs under them.

For anyone interested, Gophers and Huskies tied at 1 from the NHC on Fox College Sports.

[FireKnight]

Union beat Q'Pac out in Omaha (what a waste to fly out there to play a league opponent). Could it be true that Union has mistaken their mild success last year for an indicator that they are really a college hockey team?

I am starting a real dislike for the Q pac.

[FireKnight]

I liked the victory over Q-Pac last March. That was fun.

Third period underway. LGT!!

[FireKnight]

Watching this game, I'd say Karpowich is definitely an NCAA goaltender.

[FireKnight]

Either RIT is putting some pressure on or we're playing prevent with a 1 goal lead. I'm getting nervous. :confused:

[Bill]

Penalty - Phil - interference

[FireKnight]

Knights on the penalty kill. Paquet called for interference with the puck at his feet. I call it a GREAT hit. :mad:

[Bill]

SHG - Marks from Freeman 5-3

[Bill]

Here we go - RIT score now 5-4 Clarkson:(

[FireKnight]

Final at Lake Whittemore. UHN 1, RIP 0.

[FireKnight]

Tigers now up to 40 shots. Tough day for Karpowich but he's held up pretty well.

[FireKnight]

D'ALVISE with the hat trick and a 4 point knight and it goes final 6-4.

Good job by RIT to come out early and take advantage of a bit of apprehension on the ice. Very disciplined play by the Knights.

[Bill]

D'Alvise ENG HAT TRICK!!!
Glad I got'em in the P to C:)
Good comeback for the KNIGHTS, but giving up 40 shots won't get it most knights. Karpowich looks like the real deal - several solid saves - especially on the PK and in the 3rd to keep'em in it.
LGT! LGT!! LGT!!!

[Brett Gobe]

Fun game to be at, we can skate with the best of them, when we want to. D'alvise was the difference maker tonight, his first goal was unreal. I'll have more to say when I'm back in front of a real computer.
