    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Another slog against the Eli last night. Fortunately, we came out on top thanks to Yale taking that stupid boarding penalty giving us a 5 minute PP that carried over. Credit to Casey Severo for battling in front of Stark to get position and knock home the winner. Mick Thompson just keeps...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    If 22-year-olds are allowed to play four full years, Harvard should opt out of the ECAC. The administration will not support this type of setup. I can't see Union, RPI, or SLU going along with it either. Cornell, that's another story.

    Harvard 2024-25: Once More Unto The Breach

    Thirdtime, the numbers don't lie. Sure it's admirable that they went toe to toe for forty minutes. I'm not discounting that fact. I'm just saying that if you look at the overall body of work, there is not a whole lot to be optimistic about presently. Hopefully, that will change in the next few...

    We're desperate for good news so thanks for the update.

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    All good points. Teddy has tied Bill Cleary, his former coach, as the longest-tenured coach in Harvard history. So it's reasonable to ask if perhaps he might want to move on. His kids are out of school so as long as his wife doesn't mind moving, they might consider their next chapter. Hard to...

    Harvard 2024-25: Once More Unto The Breach

    To answer your question, Ted, this is the worst season in the history of the program. The last two seasons percentage-wise have been the two worst in the program's history. You have to go back to the second year of the program, 1979-1980, when the team finished 4-13. Or the 2016-2017 season when...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Big win tonight after blowing a 2-0 lead. Lucas St. Louis saves the day for the Crimson and we get a much-needed three points. The disturbing trend of coughing up leads continued tonight when it looked like the game was in hand. I thought Gilroy was brought in to work with the D. Something's...

    Harvard 2024-25: Once More Unto The Breach

    After facing the Lady Bobcats for the second year in a row in the play-in round, Harvard is now 0-11, GF versus GA. I will give the team some credit for holding Quinnipiac to a couple of goals and at least making it competitive. I'm trying to follow thirdtime's lead in finding a silver lining.

    RPI Engineers 24-25

    There is always room to improve one's skating ability. Depends on whether you can get a good skating coach to help you. I did when I was a freshman and it did wonders for me. You also have to make it a priority over the summer as rust sets in when you're off the ice for several months. What you...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Or three players on the current roster may decide to enter the transfer portal. The days of having a JV team have long since passed so I would imagine that if a player like Ryan Fine or Salvatore Guzzo thought he might get bumped to the stands regularly due to one of the incoming frosh, they may...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Another frustrating loss last night. Giving up a goal with four seconds left in the period is inexcusable. Points to a season-long series of D zone breakdowns leading to killer goals against. Harvard simply doesn't have the skill to match up with winning teams despite their win over Colgate and...

    Harvard 2024-25: Once More Unto The Breach

    Thirdtime, you are officially the most positive person I have ever encountered. I mean that as a compliment.

    ECAC '24-25: Who rebuilds? Who reloads?

    Bill, you're making my point. To lose that many games by either one goal or being shut out says something about talent deficiency and perhaps a lack of coaching acumen to get the team to improve, even by a small margin. That hasn't happened and I don't see the ship turning around any time soon...

    Harvard 2024-25: Once More Unto The Breach

    So with the close of another regular season, here are some numbers to chew on for those who think the program is headed in the right direction. Harvard's record over the past two seasons combined: 7-47-4 Total # games where Harvard was shut out: 13 Total # of games that Harvard scored one goal...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Coming away with a split in North Country isn't the worst. It's just the way they got shellacked by Clarkson today that has me bothered. Harvard simply can't beat a team with a winning record. I wanted to believe we would at least make it competitive against Clarkson. No such luck. Oh well, four...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Given what's remaining on the schedule, Harvard needs some help to at least move into sixth place. The North Country trip awaits this weekend, then the final home weekend of the season against Union and RPI with the final two games at Yale and Brown. Nothing comes easy for this team. Would like...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    I had a flashback to the Ohio State game in the NCAAs at Bridgeport. We can't defend or create enough chances at the offensive end to scare these teams. As you pointed out, the D needs a complete overhaul. BU simply overwhelmed us. Classless move by Jay Pandolfo to ask for an additional penalty...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    I've been thinking the same thought about Healey. Why not use his offensive skills up front instead of exposing his weaknesses as a D-man night after night? You would think Gilroy would have brought this up to Teddy. Especially where they have multiple right-shot D.

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Some of my posts didn't make it over to the new platform. Oh well, almost no one reads the thread so it doesn't matter. We suffered a terrible loss last night to the Tigers. We should have closed them out in the third period, but once again, we couldn't finish the job. This reinforces Teddy's...

    Harvard Crimson 2024-2025 - Will our Youth be Served?

    Figured I would get the jump on the new season by starting the thread with a look at renovations done to Bright-Landry over the summer: Major Renovation Project Completed at Bright-Landry Hockey Center - Harvard University (gocrimson.com)
