Re: Union College Dutchmen Hockey 2010-11: There's one way and that's to Atlantic Cit

The defensive zone coverage on all 3 of the Colgate goals was pretty much nonexistent. I was a bit disappointed however that Kinkaid could not come up with at least one save of the three. I don't mean to throw him under the bus, but in every game your goalie is expected to make the routine saves and at least a couple of the nonroutine variety. His team for whatever reason was struggling out there and as the last line of defense really needed a lift from their goalie particularly one who is getting some Hobey Baker buzz. I would look for a big bounceback performance by the team and Kinkaid tonight, or at least I hope so.

Boy, what a debacle! The boys looked past the 3rd period ....
GoooooooU

When I was in the men's room between periods 2 and 3, I overheard some Union fan says to his friend, "Do you think our 2 goal lead would hold?" The response from his friend was something like "I think if anything we'll increase it by a couple".

We may not have as much talent, but we had more heart last night. You boys took us for granted and we simply outplayed you in the 3rd.

I'm not sure how you can confirm the first part of your statement ("took us for granted")but I certainly agree with the second part. I posted last week that Colgate was playing with "house money". There may also be somewhat of psychological edge in that if CU hopes to extend their season they need to get to AC whereas the conventional wisdom has Union in the NCAAs either way. I personally hope Union disregards that type of approach because nothing is a certainty when you rely on factors and criteria which are outside of your control. This league is just nuts, 4 series, 4 game 3s.

The momentum changer for Union/Colgate was in the third period when Colgate killed Union's penalty. Union was up 2-1 and during the powerplay could have put the game away. However, Union quit creating plays and started forcing plays. You could see them gripping their sticks a little tighter for whatever reason. That successful kill gave Colgate life. Not only did they dodge a bullet, they killed off the #1 power play in the nation. Outside of the final 10 minutes of the third, Colgate really didn't have that many scoring opportunities. One huge positive........Flavin lives to......ride again

What are the chances of getting in to the game tonight, thinking about driving over. When it's sold out will they continue to sell SRO tickets ?

You could try to buy tickets online and pick them up at will call. Otherwise, tickets go on sale at 2 PM. Not sure how they're doing SRO, but the last 2 nights they began those at 6 PM.

I would guess there will be a good crowd tonight but not a sellout as Sundays are tough particularly for fans with younger kids. Just speculation though.

Last night we got there a little before six, and they were selling SRO tickets. There might be someone at the Athletic Office fielding calls, or at least a recorded message as to whether tickets are available.

I know we have other things on our collective minds after last night's debacle and with tonight's huge game, but I thought I'd go a bit off topic nonetheless. I have read in the past few days that both UMass Lowell and Providence are making coaching changes. I know that Nate watch will be underway as soon as this season ends, but I was hoping that if the did leave, and I'm not saying he will and certainly hope he doesn't, that Rick Bennett would have a shot at replacing him. I know he is highly respected and liked by his players and that he is an excellent recruiter and coach. No doubt he wants to be a head coach one day and he was on the short list a couple of years ago at Brown. I'm thinking that either of these two openings would be a great fit for him, particularly Providence where he played and was recently inducted into their athletic hall of fame. Anyway, just throwing it out there for possible discussion purposes.

All I get is recordings and you guys say tickets are gone. If I get there around 6 can I buy SRO tickets ?

Is anyone else in a terrible mood today because of what happened last night? I didn't see the game but when I watched that 2-0 lead disappear, I was devastated. I am going to the Knicks game at 6:00 tonight but once 7:00 rolls around, I'm sure I'll be watching my phone just as much as I'm watching the Knicks. Union must win tonight!

Re: Union College Dutchmen Hockey 2010-11: There's one way and that's to Atlantic Cit

After what they did to us last weekend, and what happened last night, Colgate can taste the trip to AC, and you can bet they'll be on fire. Union's going to have their work cut out for them.

Never thought I'd say this, but...

Let's go U!
