USNDT-U18 @ Clarkson 10/2/2004

[Brett Gobe]

Let's drop the puck already!!

I'll try to post updates but I'm working in a library right now and need to figure out if the speakers work on this machine. :)

[Brett Gobe]

Livestats @

http://www.ecachockeyleague.com/live/clk/men/xlive.htm

Big surprise as Weller is not in the line up.

Feed is up, but no Bob yet. Just oldies.

[MikeR]

Brett,
The ECACHL and Collegehockeystats roster do not show Weller, Hodkinson, Arcierio or Boucher....any news?

[Papa Smurf]

Broadcast just picked up the link from Cheel.

[Brett Gobe]

The only thing I can think of is that they're healthy scratches. It is the first day. Other than that, no news.

[Brett Gobe]

They need to turn off the oldies. This is annoying.

[vicb]

They need to turn off the oldies. This is annoying.

The Bee Gees :( . Turn off the damn music.

[Papa Smurf]

Ahhh there we go :)

[Papa Smurf]

Coach Roll just said that M. Sullivan, Weller and [third name I missed] are out tonight due to little injuries, i.e. "they'd be playing if this was regular season".

[Brett Gobe]

Band sounds good.

Bob's whisteling could use some work.

:D

[Papa Smurf]

I think it's a deal like the Cornell video feeds during the playoffs last year, where the mics get killed for the radio broadcast but the internet feed is always live. Bob needs to stay on his toes :)

[Papa Smurf]

Starting lineup:

G Traylen
D Curley and Clitsome
F Faulkner Blight and Cayer

[Papa Smurf]

2nd line Isbister Latilluppe and Rutherglen

[Brett Gobe]

Dave Evans on color commentary tonight.

Faceoff, and we're underway.

Clarkson gets a good chance, Rutherglen cant convert.

2nd line:
Isbister, LaTullipe, Rutherglen

3rd:
Zelewski, Genovy, J. Sullivan

[Brett Gobe]

Penalty coming up on USA

2 for holding the stick at 2:09

Power Play for Clarkson

Clitsome with the shot, Cayer cant knock in the rebound.

Looks like there is a few seconds of delay between the feed and the live stats.

Live stats had the LaTullipe penalty about 1 min ahead of the feed.

[Papa Smurf]

Clarkson gets a PP 2 minutes in, couple of good shots but nothing goes in.

NTDP about to go on the PP, Latilluppe gets the penalty.

[Papa Smurf]

Back on the PK, 18 seconds between one ending and the next starting. We'll call it 1st-game jitters :p

[Brett Gobe]

McKinvin for interference. Get used to this. Stupid NC$$ rules.

Clarkson kills the PP.

[Papa Smurf]

This livestats thing rules. Good job outta you ECAC :)

GKs starting to turn up the offensive zone pressure.

[mccullmw]

Crowd noise sounds pretty good for the first game of the season.

The better not forget the "You Can't Vote Yet" chant. That was quality.

[Papa Smurf]

Yo McCullen you got your RPI tickets yet? I've gotta imagine you're going seeing as how you're right there :p

[Brett Gobe]

Clarkson generating some good pressure.

Halfway through the 1st shots 7-6 Clarkson.

[Brett Gobe]

Penaty upcoming on USA for high sticking.

Livestats: It's like having a crystal ball, that see's one minute into the future.

[mccullmw]

I'm calling Monday. I'll probably go to a few games up there.

Sounds like they're making a few stupid mistakes, but that's to be expected for the first time they touch the ice this year.

Tech on PP.

LGT!

[Papa Smurf]

I'm trying to get Thiel and whomever else is interested to come up this way to make the trip out that way, don't be surprised to see random people sleeping on the floor in your living room that night :p

[mccullmw]

Not a problem. I have plenty of room.

Scuderi shoots, missses. Knew it a minute ago.

[Papa Smurf]

Sounds like Clarkson's getting some pretty good pressure going, now it's about shaking off some of the rust and finishing some of these plays :) LGT!

[mccullmw]

Glad to know Jared approves his ads.

Someone has to got to learn to adjust the ad levels.

GOAL!!!

[Brett Gobe]

GOAL!!!

LaTulippe!!

1-0

[mccullmw]

Lattulipe from Isbister and Rutherglen.

Grrrrrrrr rate limiting.

[Brett Gobe]

Goal

USA

1-1

That was fast.

[mccullmw]

Couple of quick shots by Rutherglen. Hit Billy in the mask.

Matching minors! My favorite.

[Brett Gobe]

Good chances again for Rutherglen, no goals.

Matching minors.

1:47 to go in the period

[Papa Smurf]

That second line is having a pretty good period from the sounds of it... raises some interesting questions re: where do some of the injured guys go when they're ready to play?

[mccullmw]

Shot off Traylen's mask.

Few seconds left.

[Brett Gobe]

End of 1

1-1

I'll take it.

Expect to see McNulty in the 2nd.

[Papa Smurf]

Shots 18-13 in Clarkson's favor for the 1st period.

18 shots??? Definitely a departure from the past couple of years.

Edited for not being able to count.

[mccullmw]

These commercials are terrible.

Ponderosa? Last time I ate there I got food poisoning.

Time to go to the store and get some beers.

[Papa Smurf]

YOU CAN'T COUNT! OR VOTE!

Too many men for NTDP, Clarkson PP coming.

[Papa Smurf]

And we're going to go up 2 men, holding penalty on NTDP.

[Brett Gobe]

2nd period underway.

Powerplay for clarkson. Too many men on the US.

Now a 5 on 3.

Clarkson can't convert, back to 5 on 4.

[Papa Smurf]

Lots of shots on the PP, nothing in the net. Still 1-1 about 3 minutes into the 2nd.

[Papa Smurf]

And now we're on the other side of the 5-3. Let's go PK!

[Brett Gobe]

Curley goes for holding.

Scderi goes for cross checking.

5 on 3 for a shade over a minute.

Now 5 on 4

[Brett Gobe]

Clarkson going on the man advantage. 6:23 into the 2nd.

[Brett Gobe]

Sounds like Isbister has got the skills. Good chances around the net. No goals.

Traylen makes a big save.

McKinvin takes an interference penalty. US on the PP

Halfway through the 2nd

[MikeR]

The live stats indicates the Knights need to work on faceoffs.

[Papa Smurf]

Yeah I was thinking that about the faceoffs too, but it seems like every other one Bob calls is opposite from what Livestats had so I don't know.

[Brett Gobe]

What was that? Traylen should stay in his house.

Dupree losing sight of the puck??? I won't believe it.

[MikeR]

Mac seems to win his, otherwise it's all U-18

Jay with another 2-min penalty :mad:

[Brett Gobe]

Another PP for the USA.

Too many penalties. (That sounds familiar...)

[Papa Smurf]

What was that? Traylen should stay in his house.

Dupree losing sight of the puck??? I won't believe it.

Sounded as though Traylen tried pulling the Mike Walsh Special there. No word on whether he gave the guy a whack the next time he rounded the net :)

[mccullmw]

Sounds like Roll needs to invest in the patented "Mike Walsh Goalie Tether"

Whoever decided to schedule an exhibition game the first night that teams can formally play needs to be beaten.

[mccullmw]

Props to the band. Nice touch.

[Brett Gobe]

I kinda like it. It's a good test, and it doesn't effect anything if they lose. Keep in mind this team is 5-0. This could be alot worse. To me it's like a midnight madness scrimage. Only with better compitition.

[Papa Smurf]

Brekelmans is turning into "The Guy You Want Back On 2-On-1s".

[Brett Gobe]

Props to the band. Nice touch.


We stand all the time, every game. Nothing new. :D

[mccullmw]

Apparently everyone on the team is standing up to fill Nickerson's shoes.

[Brett Gobe]

4 on 4. Genovy and some recruit for another school goes for hooking.

3 to go in the second.

[MikeR]

Brekelmans is turning into "The Guy You Want Back On 2-On-1s".

Agreed 100%. He is really turning into a good player/leader for the team.

Edit: Nick Dodge is another good one for faceoffs.

[MikeR]

4 on 4. Genovy and some recruit for another school goes for hooking.

Chad Morin....too bad he wasn't going to the Knights.


edit: last shot by the Knights during this period

"(8:04) Shot by CLARKSON Mike Grenzy MISSED, save Billy Blase. "

[Papa Smurf]

Chad Morin....too bad he wasn't going to the Knights.

Who is he going to?

[Brett Gobe]

1-1 end of 2.

Bob brings up a good point. Team USA has the legs right now. Should be a good 3rd. I would expect to see Traylen now, give him some more 3rd period experience.

[MikeR]

1-1 end of 2.

Bob brings up a good point. Team USA has the legs right now. Should be a good 3rd. I would expect to see Traylen now, give him some more 3rd period experience.


U-18 carried that period from the 10 minute point.... :(

[Brett Gobe]

Morin isn't listed as signing an LOI with any team.

But he's only 16. :eek:

[mccullmw]

I may kill if I hear another one of these Subway ads.

[Brett Gobe]

Freshmen playing well. Good sign.

Genovy is helped off the ice. Not a good sign.

Kolu and Jones (NoDak) go for roughing.

1-1

[Brett Gobe]

McKinvin is looking to fill Nickerson shoes as he takes his 3rd penalty of the night.

And

USA scores Stoa (Minn) scores

2-1 US

[MikeR]

2-1 Bad Guys (Stoa) :mad: :mad:

[mccullmw]

Worst sound to any hockey fan.

*Clink*

[Brett Gobe]

Penalty coming on Clarkson.

Brekelmans goes for holding.

11:30 to go in the 3rd.

Legs are really showing now.

[Brett Gobe]

Penalty to USNDT

Gerbe (BC) for Interference

4 on 4

[coolhandtouc]

no need to panic.......they have played together for a month...we have played together for a morning.

[Brett Gobe]

Some good chances by Latulippe. No goals.

More good chances by Isbister. Isbister playing well. Sounds like Clarkson is starting to find some seams.

Let's see what kind of legs the have for the last 5 mins.

[Brett Gobe]

Genovy back on the ice. Thats a good sign.

5:41 left in the 3rd.

[BrownEyedGirl]

Latulippe scores his second of the night.

US 2 Clarkson 2 :-)

[MikeR]

Goal for the good guys!!!!! Jay (Dodge, McKinven) 2-2

[Brett Gobe]

Goal LaTulippe from Dodge and Rutherglen

2-2

Under a min.

Close offisdes call denies a US break.

22 seconds to go.

4 seconds to go.

Time out, US

[Brett Gobe]

Any reason this slowed down so much?

OT

3:37 to go.

Evans made a good point about the team fighting back to get the late goal. Something we did about once last year. This is a very good sign, in my opinion.

1:30 to go

Rutherglen can't convert a Faulkner pass. US gets a good chance.

1 to go

30 to go

20 seconds.

Clarkson gets a deep faceoff. And calls time out.

[mccullmw]

I'll take it.

Sounds like they played very well together.

I'm hopeful good things will come this season.

LGT!

[mccullmw]

I can't handle the electric guitar Alma Mater that they're running for the promos.

[Brett Gobe]

I'll take a tie with a team of national all stars who've been plaing for a month with our team who couldnt practice with coaches until today.
