Colgate 21-22

[ARM]

Isn't Colgate winning 5-2 in the the 3rd period adding a couple of goals in the 3rd or does USCHO have the score wrong?

Colgate's team page has them winning, 6-2, so if USCHO is off, it is less off than it often is.

After a great 1st period and first half of the second we go totally rogue and create a 6 consecutive penalty embarrassment essentially handing the game back to Harvard. Totally undisciplined and unacceptable with our team leaders the primary culprits. I hope the usually mild mannered Coach Fargo reads them the riot act in the locker room and sits any further violators.

Lose one game, it negates any progress and sets us back a mile. We always lose to the wrong team at the wrong time. May be risky, but would like Murphy in goal for the rest of the season. Penalties, especially late, make it tough to keep a lead or mount a comeback against elite teams. Colgate has tons of talent but the top line can’t carry the team.

Expect to see some shakeups in the lineup.

When you get as high as Colgate is, there never seems to be a good time to lose. If you lose to top teams, those are the ones that you're competing against in the standings and the rankings. If you lose to teams farther down, then the PairWise can be unforgiving. Even when a team is near perfect and has a gap to its pursuers, that team is competing against history. It's the teams that have little left to gain that can lose and not be hurt by it.

We're definitely in a scoring drought with no one person or line carrying the load which seems to tilt the maximum effort towards the first two periods of these recent games. Then when we don't score in those periods we seem to up the offensive ante another notch in the 3rd period and take risky chances to score which gets us in trouble. We're not going to get home advantage in the playoffs which is okay as we do fine on the road so lets play these upcoming games evenly from 1st through 3 periods and if we tie so be it, just make the playoffs. Then we can modify tactics to win or go home once we get there. Stop the 3rd period meltdowns now...

Coming Friday.
Ut-oh.

My optimism:
I’m sure next time we can score more than 1 goal on 34 shots…
And give up less than three.
At home.

Guys as a transplanted Northern New Yorker who lived for years in NYC and then the NYC area and now lives on Cape Cod, Ithaca, Schenectady, Potsdam and Canton can also easily fit into the definition of "the middle of nowhere" so let's not push too hard. I love when I visit. By the way back in the day we locals used to call it "15 miles past resume speed".

Also, not that it means a lot, but beating Q and P got us back up to 7

Good win, but outshooting your opponent by 2:1 and then giving up a ppg…then a penalty that late in the game, ugh. Waiting for Gate to put some opponents away convincingly!
Road stays rough with 3 more games in 6 days. Sorry for the constant skepticism; I’ll save it for the men’s team that basically tied last place Dartmouth but gutted out an OT win ;-)

[Reddington]

From that point of view you are correct. I say the same thing about Syracuse.

[ARM]

It's how they recruit being in the middle of nowhere.

Hamilton is a drivable distance from Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, so Colgate's middle of nowhere isn't that desolate when it comes to hockey players.

[Reddington]

Girls want to play in Fargo's system, they like it - it is exciting - it is the equivalent of the run and gun in basketball - nobody plays half court basketball anymore either. It's how they recruit being in the middle of nowhere. Maybe they can't win it all, but it sure is entertaining.

Nice win last night !
