That's as much info as there has been on Shafer's health and recovery. Best of luck to 'Gate this weekend -- I think the Raiders have a punchers chance of pulling off a weekend upset.

ECAC announced first, second and third team All League the other day...frankly, I don't get exercised about much of this; I don't see a lot of other (non-Colgate) league games, but 15 of the 18 selectees came from the top four teams in the league...seems like a bit of overkill and perhaps a lack of extensive analysis...just spiff balling here, but...

The CHN article on Mike Shafer says six players will play tonight that didn't play in our sweep of Cornell. Yikes Also a small chance Mike will be back after his tripto his Doctors in NYC.

Coming from an RPI fan, Colton Young got robbed

It's game day! Beat Red!

Don't put too much credence into this...its the ECAC we're talking about after all. They nominated Tsekos and Linden as POY candidates and they weren't even 1st team selections....(I'm an RPI fan....so I'm not complaining !)

God Bless Mitch Benson...shot attempts in second period, as we "defend" our own zone, were 38-9...

[still an empty net]

Benson played unreal. But, you can’t win games when the other team has an entire period on the power play in a 60 minute game. Offense needs to get going tomorrow night.

[TheGreenCoat]

did anybody really think we were going to win a game where your coach has such little faith in the talent of his team that he sits back and simply tries to defend the goal for 40 minutes...several points: 1) the officiating was simply disgusting; not a surprise since the pathetic ECAC needs fannies in the seats in Lake Placid, 2) the Cornell color guy is a jerk and should try his hand doing color commentary for women's field hockey, and 3) Cornell deserved to win the game...Coach Schafer knew what to do...we do not press, we sit back, he pinches his D-men all night and gets away with it...feel for Benson, not happy with our (usual) passive approach on the ice, not confident tomorrow...I'm sure the worms heading ECAC Hockey are happy...

[TchrBill]

As expected. At least we weren't RPI.

[Rainman]

OUCH! A 3rd period lead turned regulation loss! And we weren’t chasing the score for roughly 98.5% of the game!

Stay out of the box and go get ‘em tomorrow.

A few things, we played well for 40 min. Saying am we sat back for 40 is a discredit to the team.

graber is a pathetic referee, in the last two games it has been overly one sided (last yale game and this game).

I didn’t see the 5 min major hit but with the hitting going on on both sides (not getting called) I have a hard time believing it was a 5 min major.

hunorous parts of the game, Cornell fans going insane for a save by benson. I mean you really should look in the net before getting that excited. Cornell player going to the wrong penalty box, seriously? It’s your own damn rink, how don’t you know.

nice let’s go Colgate chant heard in lynah can’t say I ever remembering that happen

[TheGreenCoat]

If we pursue the same passive approach to the game tomorrow I wouldn't bet my house on it...perhaps they'll bring in a different officiating crew, not that it will make much difference...the Advanced Metrics of this game are simply mind blowing...

FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Don Vaughan

"I was very happy with our effort tonight. It's a tough place to play against a very heavy team. We were prepared for that kind of game and did a lot of things very well. I would like to see our power plays get a little more opportunity. In two games we have had three power play opportunities. In the end we battled very hard. Mitch Benson was great again tonight in goal. We have another opportunity tomorrow and I know our guys will be ready to grind again."

Most coaches take some level of responsibility. Not one acknowledgement of penalties or being outshot 17-43 (if I read the stats correctly, which are presented in an annoying format now). Admire Vaughan for staying positive and not blowing a fuse, but it’s not all unicorns and rainbows, either.

Very best of luck to the women’s team today. Heartbreaking OT loss last year.
