    Finely, a complete game win/shutout and against our biggest rival who just happened to be undefeated. It doesn't get any better. Everybody played great and the team forecheck and smart defense stood out. Celebrate, eat and get a good night's sleep because they'll be seeking to avenge this...

    The loss this afternoon to RIT had nothing to do with our goalie. We basically seemed to play with no energy or sense of urgency for the last two periods. It's almost like we assumed from our past we would win but were unwilling to really fight for it. We were beaten to almost every puck. The...

    Proud Canadian, I like your take on both the Offense and Defense. There is definitely talent on Offense which is beginning to jell (Palumbo and Stewart still MIA), but on D, Senecal, Borgiel and Sawyer are it. Hopefully Sambrano gets back as I liked her game last year. Pickering unfortunately...

    It's official , we have a major goal tending problem. Bad, bad play by both goalies this weekend. That said, based solely on the Harvard game, play Davis. We need to sit Walker who was terrible today and I see no quick change possible there, too many issues. Give the CT Soph a try against RIT...

    Mixed weekend. Tough loss against Dartmouth where I thought we were a bit on our heels perhaps assuming we were playing the Dartmouth of the last 7-8 years leads to our best game of the year. A lot of energy last night in Cambridge with scoring from all the places we need it and more. Too bad...

    This is a fun team to watch as they take on Coach Harder's personality. Gritty, no excuses, next man up philosophy. They're starting to assume they're in every game, hope it lasts. Q just buried ND (who may stink this year for all I know) so ECAC definitely has talent. Keep it rolling.

    Wow, a lot for the coaches and team to work on. We seemed to have nothing left on D from about half way through the 3rd period on while BU was going full blast. Conditioning? Thank God Casey continues to play fantastic and Emma awoke from the dead or this weekend would have been ugly. Please...

    A weekend with a lot of teaching opportunities before BU comes to town. We were impressive at times as our stars other than Borgiel were quiet and our non-stars shone. We got killed by two stretches of bad play as we got worn down and pressured by a bigger team. That said, we are making a...

    I agree with the Wisconsin guy which is rare. Other than the start of the third period I thought we played as expected for our first game against the #2 team in the country. As for the WCHA their top 4 teams are very tough, but the rest of the league our top 3 teams can beat so don't sell your...

    We lost on a seeing eye screened goal, but there was a lot to like. We double or triple outshot them but just could not score as their goalie was fantastic and we missed a lot of shots that we should have put in. Hopefully this won't continue. Our goalies seemed very good particularly Walker who...

    The program's recent success has earned respect which accounts for the preseason ranking. That's a nice problem to have. We'll know soon enough whether we merit it. On the plus side we've always had very good goalies even when the team was mediocre prior to 2015 so I have no reason to think this...

    Can someone post the preseason polls?

    I left Ava Wood out of my discussion yesterday by mistake. I think she's going to be like Biederman and Stewart, a real pest and fast so I don't see her in the last line either. Friday night we'll finally see what we have and how the coaches look at the team to start. Also very interesting will...

    I like your lines to start the season but it will probably take 5-10 or more games to get it right. On offense I'm really interested to see what Cronan is all about. She's really the only new player with little press to be found. Other than reading she was voted the best female athlete at Groton...

    Dartmouth has a great coach who knows how to recruit. Look at all the UMD players in the PWHL. Harvard is still overcoming the stigma of its past coach with a home grown coach. With the best high school players wanting to win now and get drafted, my money is on Ms Crowley becoming a contender...
