14 incoming freshmen next year, that seems pretty big for Brown

Yes, Wild Thing has apparently become Bobby's anthem among Devils' diehards. They really love him there.

I noticed today that Massimo Lammachia signed a contract today with Wheeling (ECHL). That puts 4 from last year's team in the pros - Lorito (AHL - Albany); Harlow (ECHL - Manchester); and DeConcylis (Europe). Looks like only Ryan Jacobsen didn't continue his hockey playing in the pros.

Hokydad.. where are you seeing this. College Hockey News and a few other websites have the class size around 9-10. Just wondering if I have missed a string of recent commitments.

Where did you get this idea? From Chris Heisenberg's page? That page isn't 100% accurate. Nor are most other lists.

The number of recruiting slots is determined by the administration. Men's hockey averages about 8 a year.

Eight of our 14 remaining games are against teams that are currently ranked in the USCHO top 20. That's a pretty tall order for a young team, but if they can emulate the Providence performance consistently they could come out with a winning record and a decent seed for the ECAC playoffs.

A home playoff series would be nice. We all remember the sensational run the team went on the last time we played a series at Meehan...

Gonna be a fun weekend, just watching the Bruins game and see that Farnham is in hot water

I didn't get to watch the game last night, but I see we outshot Yale by 14 and lost. I have a hunch that if the shot margin is similar tonight, we'll find a way to win.

Although in fairness, they do have a BIG advantage in net with Alex Lyon. He's an excellent player who can steal them games even when they're outshot by such a substantial margin.

Good call on the suspension. Bobby needs to learn how to control his emotions and funnel them in the right direction.

Beside the two defensive breakdowns by Brown on the breakaway and the odd man rush, Lyon and his posts were the difference. Interesting game as Brown owned the first then momentum slowly swung back to Yale through the late second and third with Yale barely hanging on in the end. Also cool to see a relatively clean game by these two teams, alot of hard hitting but no real chippy stuff, which was a hallmark of these games in the past. See you at Meehan tonight.

Re: Brown Hockey 2015-16: (s)Lappin' around the competition

LT - on the subject of playing clean hockey, it's funny that these two teams have the two lowest PIM averages in the country. Usually it's quite the opposite!

Re: Brown Hockey 2015-16: (s)Lappin' around the competition

Yale actually had the lowest D-1 PIM average last year as well, until they played BU in New Hampshire in March.

Frustrating to play well two nights in a row and not come away with a point.

Re: Brown Hockey 2015-16: (s)Lappin' around the competition

Two great games, Brown seemed to tire tonight. I think Yales depth won out. Both goalies were stellar and the Brown goalie had no chance on the game winner. Nice to see a semi decent crowd at Meehan. Good luck the rest of the way.
