Congrats to the team, indeed.
Reid Dyck (again) and Tobias Ohman deserve special credit tonight.
Penalty-taking was back under control.
SOG remain a challenge, but a win is a win.
Especially on a night when Clarkson went down to Niagara, and Cornell went down to Sacred Heart.
Post-game taps-n-prayers were even back.

A sense of some relief and it was obvious the kids were excited to get a monkey off their backs...please give me more 5'8" guys who can skate and have skills vis-a-vis 6'4" players who lack both and tend to commit unforced penalties...still need better defensive coverage but credit Dyck...he's been solid all year...

Signer of '65 Arena first beam.
Been absent for quite awhile. Very surprised at the news of 'Gate's start to the season and losing record. Was expecting great things from this team. Maybe....hope upon hope....things will turn around vs. Princeton and also we get some Irish luck over T'giving. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised with this team putting together a run soon. We have to be more competitive entering into the ECAC part of the season, or we're doomed.

Rainman, my annual reminder…
I will always pick Colgate’s opponent, and always Cornell, this season in the ECAC Pick ‘Em contest…
for my own mental wellbeing.
Colgate wins? I am ecstatic.
Colgate loses? Well, at least I gained one point.
Cornell loses? I am ecstatic.
Cornell wins? Well, at least I gained one point.
I watched last Friday's game vs. UMass Lowell through the Disney+ app, without any issues. But you need a subscription to both Disney+ and ESPN (Select or Unlimited) to watch most ESPN-produced sporting events through the Disney+ app.
Colgate's games (as well as all games where ECAC and Hockey East are the home team) only require the "ESPN Select" tier. Most TV providers include an ESPN Unlimited subscription if your TV package includes the main ESPN channel.
I also subscribe to YouTube TV, which has integrated all ESPN Unlimited content into its ecosystem. I caught the tail end of the Colgate football game vs. William and Mary through YouTube TV over the weekend, with no hiccups. YouTube TV even allows you to DVR ESPN+ exclusive events and save them for 9 months!
I'll try watching one of this weekend's Colgate games through the ESPN app, and the other through YouTube TV and see how they perform.

Can you say ‘emotional rollercoaster?’
First period… ‘I think we can win this game!’
Second period… ‘We suck; we’re gonna lose!’
Third period… ‘I think we’re gonna win this game!’
Having said all that…
we are undefeated in ECAC play this season, and
and our streak against Princeton is intact.
Thanks to Max Nagel, Reid Dyck, Tobias Ohman and Easton Wainwright (whom I usually get down on because of his penalty-taking). Of course, it didn’t hurt that Arthur Smith had an off night.
My strategy of enjoying the social side is intact as I rode up/back with Endicott Larry and enjoyed visiting with Hamilton Russ, Colgate Ron, “Chipper” & R. Braden Houston (see ‘Adirondack Life’ magazine, December ‘26 issue) and my Earlville friends. I even saw “Red” from a distance.
Lastly, I may have missed two Pick ‘Em points tonight, but I am doubly ecstatic!!

The regular season streak against the Tigers continues...we all knew Max was due (our best forward coming back this year) and many of us knew that Ohman had put up good #s in the USHL last year...that line can skate with skill (unfortunately it looks like the only line that possesses those talents)...the three stars were undoubtedly the aforementioned plus Dyck (who has been very solid this year/please stay heathy)...I really don't think Smith had much of a chance on most of our goals...Princeton's coach has some anger issues, but we've got to learn (especially #14 & #19) to stop committing bad penalties (each is in the middle of his third year mind you)...still not enough SOG as tonight's shooting success will rarely be repeated over the course of the season...slowly better and tonight we will need to take another leg higher just to compete...

GreenCoat, what specifically was the Princeton coach’s problem last night? Man, he never stopped jawing at the referee post-game, even after the ref turned around and skated away. I assume that it was more than just being a sore loser.

IBT...I really don't know...on our first goal he claimed interference and probably had a decent argument...but after that, if anything, Princeton got the benefit of the calls...he's playing Cornell tonight after the Big Red lost last night so he should probably take 10mg of valium around 6:45...

Class of 1965 Arena has turned into Cedar Point. I rode my second (emotional) roller coaster in two days tonight!
We were down 3-0 with 5:04 remaining in the game.
We were down 3-1 with 1:32 left.
We were down 3-2 with 44 seconds to go.
And we lost 4-3, just 19 seconds into OT.
It was almost a fairy tale ending!!
The sad part is… I think that we have a decent winning percentage in 3-on-3 OT games. I will need to make a deeper (research) dive on that ‘morrow (without getting whistled for diving).
I have said it before, but Mike Harder’s teams apparently believe in themselves more than I do. They truly never gave up against the NPI#3 team in the country. At least five ‘Gate fans in my section left the game early tonight, when we were down 3-0.
Reid Dyck, Max Nagel and Tobias Ohman again deserve credit. I spoke to Jack Brandt’s grandparents briefly in the elevator tonight and they had driven up from Columbus, Ohio, to see him get an assist tonight, which is kewl.
But, still, we finished our first ten games with 2 wins and 8 losses. Reid Dyck owns the same 2-8 record, despite playing well all season. After watching Quinnipiac’s goalie lose his helmet twice tonight, I couldn’t help but think, ‘what happens if we have to pull our back-up goalie off the shelf and put him into competition?’ Will he be ready to play?’
Well, I will be joining the ESPN+ watchers next weekend as 2-8 Colgate travels to 2-1 Yale and 0-3 Brown. Go ‘Gate!

The kids (and the coaches) haven't quit and that was clearly evident tonight...even in the first half of the game I thought our defensive work was pretty good and to come back from 3-0 with 5 minutes left against Q-Pac is something to carry forward...I've been quite critical at times of this team (we have talent but it's not really deep enough) but they are improving and, of course, the Nagel/Ohman show is good viewing...pray Dyck stays healthy...
