Notes on a few of the games:
Potsdam State 7, SUNY-Binghamton 2
Binghamton's home opener did not go well at all, as they lost their third
straight after opening the season with a victory. The two teams battled
to a scoreless first period, but Potsdam broke the game open with five
goals in the second. The Bears outshot Binghamton 21-7 in the second
period and 48-24 over the entire game.
Air Force 4, Elmira 1
Air Force 7, Elmira 5
Thanks to Charlie Shub for the box scores. Just for the record, Terry
Courtney's holding penalty in the second period of Friday's game occurred
at the 8:20 mark -- somebody apparently wrote down the wrong time.
What basically killed Elmira in the first game was their power play unit,
which went 0 for 6 on the night. This was highlighted by their perfor-
mance after a Falcons player was hit with a major and game disqualifi-
cation for spearing (Charlie's box score says it was John Sullivan, but
I've got Dan McAlister). Not only did the Soaring Eagles fail to score
during the ensuing five-minute power play, but they were unable to manage
even a shot on goal.
Elmira's power play fared somewhat better in Saturday's game (4 for 10),
but this one was marred by a total of 32 penalties. The Falcons' Eric
Rice picked up a hat trick, including two in the first three minutes to
give Air Force what would prove to be an insurmountable 6-2 lead. Kyle
Kilpatrick and Bernie Cassell scored to bring Elmira back within two, but
Air Force's Bob Ingraham slammed the door shut with a goal at the 14:27
mark. Joe Spinnelli gave the Soaring Eagles a chance with a power-play
goal a minute and a half later, but Elmira's hopes evaporated in the last
two minutes of the game on a couple of dumb penalties. Greg Moore's
holding infraction and Jason Courtemanche's major for checking from behind
allowed Air Force to run out the rest of the game on the power play. The
Soaring Eagles are now 2-3 on the season, having played four Division I
foes and won once, an overtime victory against Army.
