Colgate 2021-22

[iowabasedtraveler]

Rainman, I am in the same boat (though I have been to Hobey Baker once before). I bought my Princeton ticket online last night, but am concerned about the poor weather forecast. After my December 10 deal in the Bronx, I am skittish about driving through the City again. So, I would just come home after Princeton.

Cornell’s take on the final weekend of the ECAC Hockey regular season…

Call us the “comeback kids” - twice this month we overcome a 3rd period deficit to win in regulation, both on the road!

[CU13]

Come back kids is right! The team is playing solid hockey!! Great road win. Also - great home playoff win for the women vs Cornell - in OT, 1-0!!!! Go 'gate!!!!!!!!!

[still an empty net]

Well Colgate battled to the end and found a way to win in regulation, looks like it won’t mean much for a 4th place finish but still should finish 5th (with one game left). And if we are all being honest, all 4 teams ahead are better than Colgate so a 5th place in the ECAC isn’t the end of the world. I know it’s not what we wanted but we are also not a dumpster fire. Congrats to the players and coaches for fighting through a season that could have gone really bad as Iowa showed in his earlier post. Best of luck tomorrow and let’s finish this on the right side. Also if we get Cornell in the playoffs when was the last time that happened?

2006. ECAC Semifinals.

As we’ve said for four or five seasons now, these kids just don’t give up. And I appreciate the fact that the coaches believe in them, but I don’t want us to bank on them pulling it out every game. Wow!
It is weird watching a game on ESPN+ tonight, as I am normally at their game (or doing something totally different). But, the misguided weather forecast got me this weekend. I had it on my big screen, until it quit. In the time it took me to bring it up on my phone, I missed the first ‘Gate goal. Sheesh! Then I noticed that when I am watching it on PPV, I tend to do other things at the same time (so I am lucky to see goals on instant replay). And then I yell at the screen when the announcer keeps saying ‘Bell-ped-io’ instead of ‘Bell-pee-dio’ like I learned it. Anyway, it was a totally different experience for me tonight (but ultimately a fun one).

Games they were losing in November and December are now 1-goal victories...kudos to the program for turning what could've been a very disappointing season into one of promise...Benson solid, contributions from everyone...no matter what happens tonight a good way to enter the playoffs...

[sshablak]

We are getting contributions from everyone, Mandervile is playing his best hockey, and he's a big boy, two assists last night. Nice to have some size on powerplays, screening and not being moved in front. I think he's starting to be a key player for us.
BTW...beat Q-Pac tonight and Princeton beats Cornell and we get a first round bye. Not likely but possible, that's why they play the games.

[red133883]

Let’s go gate, let’s go Princeton. Let’s just worry about our game cause Cornell can easily lose to Princeton (not a dig at Cornell just in general I think Princeton is a decent team)

[CU13]

The Young brothers are amazing!!! Tough night so far for the good guys.

[iowabasedtraveler]

Quinnipiac homer announcers muted.
RPI lost.
Cornell won.
Colgate lost.
Yale lost.
Dartmouth in overtime (with Union).
Looks like 5th place in ECAC Hockey for ‘Gate.
Looks like hosting 12th place Dartmouth next weekend.

As we turn the page to a new month, and the Groundhog sees his shadow, I see the fortunes of 'Gate hockey changing radically. That OT win over Dartmouth will propel us to a higher standard of play. I see us taking 1 out of 2 against Cornell and an upset win over QU, plus an OT tie vs Clarkson. Call me an optimist - ya gotta keep the faith. The kids are playing their hearts out. It's gonna be a new day, a new month, and a new series of positive results on the ice.

I wasn't totally on the money with my prediction, but pretty close. February has been good to us...

[red133883]

I believe we play yale, yale and Dartmouth series yale won in OT And Dartmouth won in regulation meaning the green beat Yale 4-2 in points.

[iowabasedtraveler]

Red, you are probably right. I just went off CHN app which had Yale in 11th with 21 points and Dartmouth in 12th with 21 points.
They probably didn't figure the tie-breakers into consideration. Thanks.
