Thanks, CU13. I was a naysayer before the Cornell series and then honored Shabby’s request to take the next week off (so I went to Florida).

Clarkson was very impressive. They pass the puck well, play solid D, don’t turn it over much and absolutely shut down any real scoring chances for Colgate. Through the first two periods I don’t think we really had one legit scoring opportunity. I hope to see them make the NCAAs. Good news is Cornell is in a free fall.

StillEmptyNet, you are spot-on with your analysis of tonight’s game. We were out-played from the first puck-drop. When did we ping one off the pipe? Third period? Throughout most of the game, we were just happy touching the puck, let alone controlling it. And Cornell’s free-fall isn’t good news, it is great news.

agree with the above...Clarkson is playing very well right now and the defensive lapses we committed may be consequence-free against the likes of Dartmouth, RPI, Union and Brown, but not against a skilled Golden Knights team...and frankly, I don't think we played very well period...however, IF Clarkson beats Cornell tonight and we get three against SLU (these games are always close) I think we'll be tied with the Big Red and hold the tiebreaker...we simply have to play at a higher level on Saturday...

Clarkson is a very strong team, impressive ! Now beat Cornell.

That was not meant for you Iowa, you are not one of the "naysayers", they know who they are !

Senior Will Friend is in goal for ‘Gate.
Seniors were honored pre-game.
Saint Lawrence goal at 1:05 of first.
Senior Mitch Benson replaced Colgate’s Friend.

Colgate had a couple of great chances but couldn’t capitalize. And Mitch Benson stood on his head a couple of times.

Colgate 9, Saint Lawrence 9, SOG after one.
Saint Lawrence 1, Colgate 0, score after one.

Senior Griffin Lunn with a beauty at 1:02 of second period.

Senior Josh McKechney scored a minute later.

SLU’s Emil Zetterquist screened and Colgate’s Tommy Bergsland scored.

Colgate 27, Saint Lawrence 19, SOG after two.
Colgate 3, Saint Lawrence 1, score after two.

26 seconds left and puck takes an odd bounce from behind the net into the crease. Chaos ensued and Saint Lawrence scored. Play under review.

Colgate ENG!!

Colgate 36, Saint Lawrence 29, final SOG.
Colgate 4, Saint Lawrence 2, final score.

Will Friend in goal? No disrespect to the young man, but JC...are you kidding me?

[red133883]

Friend deserves it, never playing before. Too bad the ref kept the whistle in his pocket

[TheGreenCoat]

Well DV picked one hell of a time to put him in goal...and the call was appropriate...dressing 5 defensemen? why? punishment for last night? Anderson not playing? LWB not playing? What is this tonight, Little League try outs? They're certainly playing like it...

[CU13]

Will Friend certainly deserves the start, IMO. Another observation - we definitely have the absolute BEST announcer in the ECAC, if not all of college hockey. Thank you John, for your unrivaled single man coverage.

[TheGreenCoat]

frankly, I would've played the young man if we had the game in hand...no disrespect, but let's take care of business first...and perhaps, after one of the better periods they've played this year, we will...fourth place IS in reach...

[TheGreenCoat]

Our third periods are always interesting...a win we really needed and a very good second period...third period lead protection still shaky, but we got the points...Brandon one very good defenseman...

[red133883]

Officially have home ice locked up the only question is if it is the first or second week

[Rainman]

A good bounce back win for the Raiders tonight! Let’s keep it going next weekend and into the playoffs.
