2014 NCAA Frozen Four: Mercyhurst Lakers vs. Clarkson Golden Knights

Fan of chipmunk-like mascots.
Here's a thread for pre- and post-game coverage and discussion.

The teams met in Potsdam in October, and Mercyhurst won and tied. The Lakers had played an earlier series with Cornell and were on the short end of that one, and it didn't serve as an indication of what would happen in the NCAAs.

I watched that 2 game series over the internet. Clarkson had a lot of trouble with Mercyhursts breakout and speed. Mercyhust's goalie played very well in that series. Over that weekend Clarksons goalie Erica Howe faced the most SOG she saw all season (I think it was 27/26 SOG). Now Mercyhurst only managed 2 goals that series (Plus an ENG) but they held Clarkson to 1 goal. I expect this to be another low scoring contest. I hope Erin Ambrose can play but am not counting on it. May the best sacrificial lamb (I mean team) win. LGT LGT LGT

Well Desrosiers is still being pretty vague on whether or not Ambrose will be playing. But they proved last weekend they can more than handle themselves without her. So I'm not terribly worried.

“Lower body injury, day to day, and she’s going to be a game-time decision,” he said. “We’ll figure that out as it comes along.”

Looks like low attendance for this one too.

PA announcer, PA announcer! Pronounciation check on "Rattray" in Aisle 3.
 
Re: 2014 NCAA Frozen Four: Mercyhurst Lakers vs. Clarkson Golden Knights

Lakers look faster as they make it 1-0. Can they maintain this pace?
 
Re: 2014 NCAA Frozen Four: Mercyhurst Lakers vs. Clarkson Golden Knights

The Mercyhurst offensive strategy is definitely get pucks to the net and bang away. Simple, but effective!
 
Re: 2014 NCAA Frozen Four: Mercyhurst Lakers vs. Clarkson Golden Knights

Clarkson picking it up a little late in the first. Some good chances.
 
Re: 2014 NCAA Frozen Four: Mercyhurst Lakers vs. Clarkson Golden Knights

Even though Mercyhurst is up 1-0, they have not looked comfortable getting the puck out of their own zone. A lot of turnovers for the Lakers in the first period.

Is it me, or does it seem like the play-by-play announcer left her roster sheet at home? The player's names are hardly used, especially for Mercyhurst.

At this point, I'd be happy if she just said numbers. Presumably, she could pronounce all of those. :(

I agree that Clarkson's forecheck looks menacing. Overall, none of the four teams today really have looked that comfortable playing in their own zone. I thought that MU did a nice job on the PK -- mobile and in synch.

She called Shannon MacAulay, Rattray at one point when Jamie wasn't even on the ice, close numbers and their posture and skating style are very similar... I'll admit I get them confused sometimes and I've been watching Jamie and Shannon since their freshman years. But they're wearing home jerseys with their names on them, so no excuses.
 
Re: 2014 NCAA Frozen Four: Mercyhurst Lakers vs. Clarkson Golden Knights

Merychurst had a chance to clear the zone but turned it over. Finally cost them on the deflection for the goal.

It is simply hard to listen to with all the "quiet" times. I thought that I was having Audio problems. Uggh. The D3 people doing the games from Platty are not that great either in name recognition, but at least they are much easier to listen too than this stuff. Is there a radio broadcast for Audio ?

Fast with her 2nd to make it 3-1. For the second game in a row looks like MacAuley is playing an effective game. I thought she played a great game vs BC as well. Go Tech.

#8 for Mercyhurst has one of the all time great hockey names. Chippy. Unfortunately for the Lakers, she took an unwise penalty at the end of the period. Could be the hockey game if Clarkson capitalizes.

Unwise is an understatement, 200 feet away from your own net to boot.

I've heard far better student announcers than this woman. I suspected she'd never played the game, she has so little to say. So I looked up to see her credentials. As I thought-- she has none. It's only her second year....broadcasting women's basketball for Big Ten Network.
Unreal.
