That's what kept them in the game. Cornell really looked like they were going to rout SLU when they opened it up early in the second, but bad penalties cost them the game, in my opinion (SLU 2 for 4 on the PP, all in the 2nd). The Saints actually outshot Cornell 26-15 over the 2nd and 3rd periods, 4-3 in the OT. Referee Marty McDonough swallowed his whistle in the third period which was more to Cornell's benefit than SLU's, especially when a Cornell defenseman, I believe it was Dave Burke, swept the puck underneath him while he was fallen in the crease, but McDonough failed to call the penalty shot. > In OT SLU contimued to dominate the play and Daniel Laperriere > scored on a wierd shot from the point. If I remember correctly, Lapierre was the guy who got smoked on Manderville's go-ahead goal half-way through the third that made it 3-2 Cornell. Bet he was VERY happy to score the game-winner. > I believe that it was the year that SLU went to the NCAA >finals that these two teams last met. I'm pretty sure that SLU shut-out >Clarkson in that game. So it's pay-back time. Let's see...yup, in 1988, SLU won that game, 3-0. A nice bit of revenge for the Knights last night. Congrats to the Clarkson fans. Oh yeah - anyone affiliated with or knowing the Clarkson band, please thank them for playing "Happy Birthday" for me Saturday night. - mike
