Cornell Big Red @ Quinnipiac Bobcats, 11/5/22

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Both teams won last night. ESPN+.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Qunnipiac has the best of the back and forth action early in the 1st.

Ben Syer again directing the Big Red.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Lagerstrom hooking penalty. 5:37 1st.

Penalty killed.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Quinnipiac announcers questionable. They've moved Psenicka from the Czech Republic to Chechnya. Also dragged out the Cornell "big and slow" moniker, albeit to say it isn't true now.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Quillan scores from the point through traffic. Quinnipiac 1, Cornell 0. Assists to Johnson & Friedmann. 15:01 1st.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Nonsensical call on Winter Wallace for hooking. It might have been something, but it certainly wasn't hooking. 17:22 1st.

Killed.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

At the end of the 1st in Hamden, Quinnipiac 1, Cornell 0.

Everybody says Pevets is so good but he hasn't made a single save.

Stands filling up, but were virtually empty at the start of the game. Obviously I'm not the average fan; I haven't missed the first faceoff ever, since I had prelims on hockey nights 50 years ago.

Q's intermission ad is of a male student manplaining to different groups of captivated women, in front of a lecture hall with a book called "Find Your Voice." This is either brilliant satire or a spectacular self-own.

Transfers are ridiculously common now. Apparently loyalty is a thing of the past.

Fuck loyalty. It's a business.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Quinnipiac announcers are both homers and BSers. Lots of empty seats, but that's because they're all standing at the rails.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Reffing is questionable. A hit that was barely a hit is now a game misconduct and 5 minute penalty. 6:22 2d. Seger 5 minutes from hitting from behind. More like he fell into the Quinnipiac player. A clear retaliation went unpenalized.

Penalty killed.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Quillan tripping call. Again a weak call. 14:35 2d.

 

[Kepler]

Apparently the creeping meatballism of shoot outs is still with us, based on the Dartmouth game tonight.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Quinnipiac band here, but strangely silent. Piped in music.

 

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

Penalty on Quinnipiac goalie for tripping. But goalies don't have to serve? Why not? It's not as if there isn't another goalie available. 15:40 2d. Brief 5 on 3.

All penalties killed.
