Thanks for the article JC. BTW - you made the thread proud hitting the goal 3 out of 4X during the intermssion.

Thanks! Not to make excuses, but I likely would've done much better had I been shooting with a right-handed stick instead of the lefty that they had. You would think that Dana would've been able to come up with a spare righty stick for the contest.

Seems to me that, even if weather conditions had been perfect and the Cup had been in a car ready to start out for Hamilton the instant Cullen's winning goal went in, it would have been physically impossible for the Cup to reach Starr Rink until long after Union's team had left for home.

There are supposed to be multiple Cups so that it can be awarded in multiple cities at the same time.

Schott had a number of tweets referring to it, but they got buried because he tweets about 45.7 billion times per game.

My eyes must be failing me-who kicked it away? it did not go over the line but i cannot tell how it got kicked away-Luke? the Cornell player? Someone else?

It was definitely an RPI player that kicked it away, based upon my memory from Section O. The Cornell player probably would have tried to kick it to somewhere in the slot, not away from the goal like that.

Oh come now, shooting with a lefty stick isn't THAT bad! ;) in my biased southpawed opinion

rpi81- Please check the box score-which I think is incorrect on the time of the 3rd SLU goal or the time of our 5th goal-I have the original program. RPI scored(they call it goal #7 of the game) to go up 5-2 at 15:20 of the 3rd period(but I have that goal being scored far earlier in the period and we took what seemed like an insurmountable lead). Then they list the 8th goal as SLU but have the time as 7:40 which would have them scoring their 3rd goal to make it 4-3 on a power play if we had scored at 15:20 as they list it-which is completely out of order(it was definitely not scored before our 5th goal as we were indeed up 5-2). Then Jeff Brick penalized at 15:16 of the third period for throwing the puck down the ice(actually we thought he shot it down the ice immediately after a whistle had blown and originally I thought he was called for a delay of the game penalty) and SLU scoring goal #9 to make to 5-4 at 16.16. Then we get called again for a penalty at 17.59 for holding (thought it was Kelly Askew at the time as my wife remarked that they were putting our fastest penalty killer into the box) and SLU scoring goal #10 to make it 5-5 as their 3rd power play goal of the period and 3rd in a row. Of course I could have the times confused-but for sure we were up 5-2 and not 4-3 when SLU scored the 3 power play goals in the third period. The second of the 3 PP goals I remember as being scored after Brick was put in the box. We were burning after the game and could not forget that up 5-2 we were called for 3 consecutive penalties (1 that was ridiculous) that led to all 3 power play goals to tie the score. It was 20 years ago-and this is from memory but the box score should reflect that we were leading 5-2 at the time of the 3 penalty calls and the 3 resultant power plays. Until the 2nd playoff game in Ithaca i had always felt this was the biggest screw job i had seen.

I don't remember if he shot it down the ice after the whistle, but that wasn't the penalty. When he spiked it down from over his head the ref's arm went up immediately. He ruled that Brick closed his hand on it and threw it into the zone, which would have been a neat trick since he jumped slightly and batted it forward and down in one smooth motion. That's not the way someone catches and throws an object.

It was a terrible call and if he subsequently swept the puck down ice in disgust after the touch up I would not be surprised, but the ref had already made the call.

Impressive Curadi moving Collins out away from the puck and then being the first on the puck. Any other defenseman and it might have been a different story. Cullen played possessed - looked like Murley on the tying goal going one on three and still getting the puck deep. I was impressed with McGowan going at it and holding his own in the corners with Collins in the game at RPI.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! There is a tradition in the playoffs that you don't talk about the next step until you've climbed the step in front of you. Leave the second round at "beyond your wildest dreams".

Seconded. IMHO, we certainly shouldn't do anything to invite the Woof G-ds.
