Final post, since I have been using the standby alcohol tonight...
Historically, when Quinnipiac wins, the average score is 5-1 against Colgate.
Tonight's score was 5-2. I will give Quinnipiac the benefit of the doubt on that, as they, not surprisingly, suffered the sole five-minute major...
Reid Dyck in goal for Colgate tonight. Matej Marinov in goal for Quinnipiac.
Matching penalties (roughing). Killed.
Quinnipiac penalty (cross-checking). Killed.
It's still scoreless, but this isn't going to end well if we keep giving the puck away in our own end. 13-4 QU SOG with 8:11...
Shabby, I wasn't gonna post on here 'til I saw that you did. he he he
Anyway, we own our wins and our losses (and our tie). As you know, I am not a denier of history.

Colgate’s record vs. Quinnipiac in Hamden, Conn. – 3-8-0
Colgate’s record vs. Quinnipiac at neutral site – 1-2-0

Common sense says a 19-0-4 regular season record is going to include a Loss sooner rather than later.
I expect Andrew Takacs will be in goal tonight. (NOTE: REID DYCK IS IN GOAL FOR 'GATE; ARTHUR SMITH IN GOAL FOR PRINCETON).
I hope we score first.
And we need to stay out of the penalty box...
I don’t know my plans yet, but I am leaning towards ‘no.’ Last weekend, I decided to take a run up to RPI on Saturday for an easy victory and we all know how that went. he he he. Results like that take the wind out of my sails sometimes. But, we’ll see, a good showing on Friday at Princeton...
Next research project... so how does our current 11.37 average penalty minutes per game rank amongst the last couple of years?
2023-24, Mike Harder, 8.42
2024-25, Mike Harder, 9.33
2022-23, Don Vaughan, 10.65
2025-26, Mike Harder, 11.37
2021-22, Don Vaughan, 11.90
Tonight's research project... is Colgate taking more penalty minutes per game than its ECAC Hockey opponents?
If my math is correct, here are the average penalty minutes per game by ECAC teams for 2025-26...
Dartmouth, 6.04
Yale, 7.26
Harvard, 7.50
Quinnipiac, 7.53
RPI, 7.57
Union, 8.80...
Shabby, I agree with you on the uber-importance of the position. I don’t agree with the word ‘mediocre,’ though. That is too harsh in my opinion. Takacs and Reid are just inconsistent (and what do we really know about Haas and Olson?). Many times they each make absolutely brilliant saves which...
More stats about our season and our opponents, in-conference and out-of-conference, tonight:
NCAA Percentage Index (NPI) rankings for Colgate and its 2025-26 opponents, as of tonight...
#1 - Michigan State, #6 - Quinnipiac, #10 - Cornell, #11 - Dartmouth,
#23 - Harvard, #25 - Union, #26 -...
After today, it seems to me that…
a) Quinnipiac, Cornell and Dartmouth will get ECAC Hockey tournament first-round byes,
b) Harvard and Princeton will be battling for the fourth and final first-round bye,
b) Saint Lawrence, Brown and RPI will be traveling in that first round,
c) Union and...
I assume GreenCoat saying the team ‘lacks discipline’ refers to their penalty-taking. We are becoming the kind of team that I really dislike… one that regularly takes more penalties than its opponents. Five-minute major penalties and game misconduct penalties seem to be increasing in...
Having trouble with message board… but previous play is under review by RPI. Five-minute major (slew-footing?) and game disqualification to Colgate. KILLED.
Note: slew foot in hockey is a dangerous, illegal move where a player knocks an opponent’s skates out from behind using their leg or...
Andrew Takacs led the team out onto the ice for tonight’s pre-game warmup at Houston Field House in Troy, N.Y. Freshman Nate Krawchuk in goal for RPI.
RPI gets on the board first, three minutes in.
Colgate’s Bobby Metz with the tying goal, from Josh Niedemayer.
Colgate penalty...
Shabby, I got home from Florida just in time to see last night’s puck-drop on ESPN. The two announcers were terribly biased (“I hate to be a homer, but…”), but I didn’t feel the need to mute them. I just kind of enjoyed it (thinking it was a Colgate penalty when, in fact, it was a Union...
I am shocked. Shocked. Should we send the recording out to the other ten ECAC Hockey schools and find out their 'interpretation of what occurred?' Majority rules? Disregard the rulings by the on-ice officials? It's like Mike Schafer has never left the building.
As for tonight...
Union...
