Originally posted by Reddington View PostFargo's playing style, which btw I am a huge fan of, has the D constantly jumping into plays, but it puts a tremendous amount of pressure on their goalie. Last year's goalie played almost all the games and obviously handled it well the last two if not three years. I am not really familiar with the girls who are stepping up to the challenge this year at the goalie position. Other positions will surprise to the upside.
Auby will get the lion’s share of games. She is 14-1-1 with 6 shutouts in her career which should give Colgate comfort that she can handle the starting role.

Re: Colgate 2019-2020
Good game tonight considering the competition. Good for the girls to see what's ahead early in the season and to play at the speed and against the puck controlling offenses they will find at the top. Auby was great and kept them in the game, but there were some very good moments. Nobody seemed out of place. We really have to focus tomorrow and bring it which coach will focus on I am sure. All in all a great experience for the freshman class and team as a whole...

Bard spent a year in the pwhl after playing for the bk selects as a junior. Has shown moxy and playmaking.
But, Fargo tells the girls all the same things, that he will build the program around you. Just ask Hoppner, who left and was MVP of the CHA tournament last year.
They picked up a nice transfer too.

Re: Colgate 2019-2020
Just watched the Ohio State game. I'm a believer longer term but right now although we can skate fairly evenly with the ECAC we simply cannot handle the top teams from the West. Minnesota kicked our butts early and now OSU does the same. The statistics don't tell the story as they appear to make it seem close but they were faster and had forwards who could score. For some reason we are in a major scoring drought notwithstanding a lot of talent on paper. Add to that the fact our Power Play is embarrassing. Remember when we had Eldridge and Zafuto the last 3 years and PP goals were givens. I'm hoping that the girls are simply not strong enough yet and when they are both the speed and puck control down low will get better. Right now nobody can take it to goal through traffic and we use way to many dump ins entering the zone. Please someone skate directly on goal and let your trailer get the rebound if there is one. All in all a good team but we will not be playing for any real hardware this year unless something changes soon. I will be very interested to see how Cornell and Princeton do vs OSU. If the play them even or better we are even further behind...

I thought the game would be closer. Another chance tomorrow.
Second game was closer. 1-1 tie. That's more in line with what I expected.Last edited by Reddington; 11-23-2019, 08:28 PM.

Originally posted by Rightnut View PostAll injured. Played with 4 defensemen three of whom were freshman and one was a forward 3 weeks ago. Very close to taking that game. Young team that hasn’t quite gotten over the hump on beating the good teams that they play tough but once they do they will be very dangerous.
