There are, however, FAR more schools putting resources into hockey than there was 20 years ago.
Regardless, all the coaches at Norwich were told (again, last week) by the acting administration that their plan to address the deficit is to scale back financial aid and they “won’t get the same students they have in the past”.
Start praying the new President reverses that quickly when he gets into office.

Listen I'm as excited as anyone that I get to hopefully watch a couple more live hockey games but let's not make absurd comparisons between a National Championship Norwich team and this team.

I should add, finishing 2nd in the regular season in as tough of a conference as the NEHC should be a noted accomplishment. This is not the 2003 ECAC East anymore.
However, I'm fully aware the expectation for Norwich hockey is to win the league and be in the tournament every year and that will still certainly be a tall order.
The good news is the goaltending situation is very strong and all you have to do is score one more goal than the other team at this point of the year.
1-0 and 2-1 wins matter just the same as 5-0 and 6-1.
Given the goal scoring unpredictability, it wouldn't shock me if Norwich loses in the first round (that would be a major disappointment on home ice) but I could also see them going all the way and pulling off the upset against Hobart with the right bounce of the puck in the league finals.
Exciting time of the year is upon on us! I'll be following along for sure and maybe even try and make it to the quarterfinal or semifinal if things work out for me at work and at home.

Norwich locks up the #2 seed and could have at least two home playoff games. Vital for how they’ve faired away from Kreitzberg this year.
It’s do or die time now.
MAYBE if everything fell perfectly and they lost to Hobart in the finals they might be able to snag a pool C? But my gut say they need to win the tournament to have a chance.

Now the possibility of no conference playoff games at home exists.

Big weekend in front of the Cadets. They have the tiebreaker on Skidmore right now and are the #2 seed. Potential for two games at Kreitzberg would be massive for a team that has been jekyl and hyde this year depending on what rink they are playing in.
Three games in last four with at least four goals. 3-0-1 record over that span.
Don't see anyone knocking off Hobart, but if Norwich can split next weekend or get at least four points and then win two games in NEHC tourney before losing to Hobart? Gotta think they'd have a shot at an at-large unless a ton of upsets happen in the tournament.

fortunately, they absolutely dominated the 3rd period from the very start and put the Pilgrims away

I’m a big believer in Ellsworth and a defender of the program, and will remain so.
In this exact moment, however, I want to punch a hole in my screen.

Might be the best game of the year all things considered. Down two late in the third for a team that has trouble scoring goals... thought it was night night. Great comeback!

same lineup.
correct. Only played one goalie. With “#1” and #3 hurt you know what we were one play away from, right?
