    One step forward, two steps back. SC loses and gains a spot in the Poll, Union beats them and goes down one. Ya can't lose to the Brown's of the World and expect to get far.

We don't have impact players on offense who can step up. Why are people standing around? Based on the skills and experience on this team, we are underperforming. A Championship calibre team brings their "A" game every night. We are NOT a championship calibre team.

      The team should be required to see this video of the game. Losing clearly does not pain them enough.

      Half the season is gone - And Bennett seems to refuse to modify lines that just aren't working.. a shift or 2 a game he pulls Rinaldi off line for
      a freshman here or there but that isn't going to resolve the issue - make the change and let them practice together.. All else fails put a banger/checker (Taylor, Foo or Zach for example)
      on there at least it might generate something for the other 2 guys.. It could take some pressure off Rinaldi to not be there too.
      We need to generate scoring opportunities.. no matter which line combo can do that

        U getting blown out at Clarkson. No Dance this year. Very disappointing. I think the long term contract for Bennett was a big mistake.

            7-1-3 in non-con play thus far, and that loss was a league opponent; I wouldn't write it off yet. A bit of luck with who you play and how they do, you may still have an outside shot.

              Three losses to Brown and Rensselaer. Ouch!

                One of those teams you mentioned lost thrice to last-place Colgate with a similar non-con record a few years back, and still made the tournament.

                  So the key for Union is to lose to Rensselaer a third time and then hope for the best?

                    Sure. We wouldn't mind the Mayor's Cup.

                      Life and death against lowly SLU. What's up with this team? Some nights they look unbelievable, other nights, like the original DIII team they were. Coaching issue imho.

                        This team is still a work in progress. You would not have expected that given the number of seniors and the experience on the team. It does not have the look and feel of a Rick Bennett team. Clarkson beat us to the lose puck all night as we were just standing around but we were moving against SLU and outshot them by a huge margin 54 to 19. A 2 on 0 break and SLU missed the net on a short handed opportunity. We could have easily lost. We took 5 penalties to SLUs 1. I think this game was an attempt to get our offense moving. Short cycling with line changes. Going forward we need to keep up the aggressive play, take the penalties, but keep the shot count up.

                          You can be aggressive and keep the shot count up without taking lazy (tripping/hooking away from the critical area) or stupid (spearing last night and punching the night before) penalties..
                          Take enough penalties you will accomplish 2 things - you will tire out your penalty killers (take note who they are - those the guys you want tired by the 3rd period?)
                          or you will give up more goals than you can overcome..

                          The Brown game and the Clarkson game were very similar - completely uninspired play all over the ice.

                            It's a strange team that beats the then no.1 team in the country by five goals and the next night gives up two shorties within minutes in a loss to a team with just four wins. Do we dare mention the Clarkson shellacking and the near miss at unfortunate SLU this past weekend? Is this really a top twenty team? One is left scratching his head. Rick Bennett is one of the best, in spite of some doubts by a recent poster. Looks like he will have his work cut out for him in coming weeks.

                              In a bad turn of events, Mike Hardman has decommitted from Union and will play at Boston College. He was probably one of Union's better recruits.

                                It takes a Hardman to decommit.
