Re: Yale Hockey 2010
The guys came out hard against Colgate tonight. Unfortunately for us, a breakdown on the first Colgate PP (fail to clear when we had a great chance to) led to a easy goal and on our first PP, the right point man (Backman, I believe) played a poor pinch and got caught up ice. Maricic should have made the save on the ensuing breakaway as Backman slowed the play down. But no dice.
Aside from that, we absolutely dominated the play. We forechecked hard, caused turnovers in their zone, always beatin Colgate to the puck. Our team has much better pursuit of the puck. However, our PP needs some work. The chemistry and chances just aren't there.
Maricic looked somewhat shaky again tonight. The third goal Colgate scored was on him. He needs to squeeze those pads sooner. He also needs to stop dropping down in his butterfly too soon. Numerous times he was down on the ice with no mobility to make a play, and fortunately for us, the Colgate shooters couldn't hit the spots.
