Re: Yale Hockey 2017-2018 Season Thread

While the Big Green had their customary "bye" week for exams, I did watch the Princeton game. Yale was the better team in the first period but still ended 2-2 after one I believe. Princeton PP killed you guys as it enabled them to get a 5-2 lead which they barely held on for. I didn't watch the Saturday game but Princeton was fast team with speed through the neutral zone so maybe that did take some of the legs out of Yale for Saturday night..it probably took it out of themselves as well based on their loss to Brown.

Thanks to the Yale football team for allowing me to ignore the hockey games over the weekend. I'm glad I did.

My goodness, 'satch - you're a virtual one-man show on this thread.

I hope this is not indicative of what home attendance usually looks like?

Are you the UNH version of RedCloud? Charles? Good goalie BTW.

Tirone has been a pleasant surprise to date. I’m thinking the new goalie coach has had a nice impact.

Well, at least Yale scored a goal last night. And a power play goal at that.

Strange...I've seen far less talented Yale teams over the years score far more goals...

Nice gritty win tonight. A very odd game that Yale easily could have lost. Hart with the hatty and O'Neil with two. The 3 on5 kill was key to the win. Two games in a row with PP goals is a step in the right direction on special teams. Still too much time spent in the box, although the fiver on Smith was questionable at best. Talk about freaky, Yale has an 8% powerplay and an 80% kill this year.

Glad to see that Yale got some goals last night. I was not able to watch either game. Any feedback on how Tucker played vs Union?

The team is still taking too many penalties, although the penalties are concentrated with only a few players, most notably Evan Smith and Sweezy.

Re: Yale Hockey 2017-2018 Season Thread

Tucker played well enough to win, but did give up at least one soft goal from the high slot that he should have had. Union missed at least 3 wide open nets during the game. Kazpersky looked much calmer Friday and plays a better positional game than Tucker who tends to get twisted into some weird positions during games.

Nice to get a win and score some goals. I had a uh-oh moment when Union tied the score in the 3rd. Penalties are a problem. PP issues may be getting better. Time for a winning streak.
