    The jam that packed the Colgate rink was the largest crowd I have ever seen at a regular season ECAC game. Unbelievable. Where did they all come from at 12 noon on a Friday? (Where did I come from, for that matter?) . . . Local elementary schools: it was Kids’ Day at the game in Hamilton, NY. Super excited, pumped young'uns yelling “Go 'Gate.” Quite the home ice advantage! Then, after the second intermission, the place was empty . . . (except for the routine 150 or so fans that we get here in the east). It was unreal, as in reality has been undone. Where did they all go??? Home, I guess. School buses wait for no man, woman or child. Full house / empty house, with twenty minutes to go. Remarkable visual doubletake,.

    The box score seemed equally hallucinatory. The fact that Reed wasn’t in goal had nothing to do with Harvard going 0-5 on the PP, or Colgate looking really pretty good. The kids went home happy after watching two periods of women’s hockey and could go to bed happy after hearing about the third.
    Harvard will go as far as KDR, Petrie and Reed can take you.

      Harvard reminds me in some respects of what the Patriots went through this season. Beat up on the weaklings in the conference but when it comes time to play the big girls, it's a whole different story. As in the Crimson simply get outclassed, outskated and outshot by wide margins. They are not competitive save for the win over BC.

      Too much individual play, not enough D structure or an offensive system that rewards teamwork over individual play. It's too easy to defend Harvard and it's even easier to attack them. The video doesn't lie.

        From day one of her own young career Reed has been covering for young and/or mediocre defensive play, and when she is not herself everything behind the blue line collapses. Lesser teams than Cornell have been exposing this almost chronic vulnerability of the Crimson for some time.

            Re: Harvard 2019-20 (Moving On)

            Harvard’s post-holiday lines can be said to have worked pretty well, earning a win at BC and a tie with Princeton. Then for some reason Stone tweaked two lines for the Colgate/Cornell weekend, which proved unhelpful, the net effect being two iffy lines where once there had been three solid ones. Petrie’s absence this past weekend meant that we then had three iffy lines. (Petrie would probably have made the St. Lawrence win less of a squeaker, and certainly would have reduced the fatigue factor that led to the third period implosion at Clarkson.) We did give Giguère & Co. a game through two periods, giving up a single PPG. But then no less than two, and it may have been three, Harvard players in front of the goal stood and watched as a freshman D skated behind them to score her second goal of the season, on a hung-out-to-dry Reed. It’s as if they were watching a penalty shot. This happened at 00:35 of the third. Demoralization must have added to exhaustion to account for the ensuing collapse. The upcoming Dartmouth game, with or without Petrie, will at least give Stone a chance to sample better patchworks - - - or return to what worked - - - before heading into yet another lion’s den at Northeastern. (Harvard’s PP is 0-11 since Princeton, including a 5 minute opportunity today.)

            [Btw, will someone explain what the additional 10 minutes of a game misconduct means after a player receives a 5 minute major. Where does that time go, or not go? What’s the practical effect?]

              It means the offending player has to sit an additional 10 minutes in the box, but during that time the team is no longer short-handed (assuming no more penalties during those 10 minutes).

                Thanks. So it's sort of like a shaming, since the player's already out of the game!

                  Not necessarily out of the game; it depends on when the penalty is called. For example, if the offending player was called for her major + game misconduct penalty in the first or second period she would be eligible to return to game action after serving her 5 minute major (putting her team shorthanded) plus 10 for the game misconduct (during which only her can't play). Then again if the 5 + 10 penalty is called and starts in the last half of the 3rd period the total "sit time" would run into overtime and, depending on the timing of the call and how long the game runs without either team scoring the winner, said player may be done for the game.

                  All that said, if a player is called for a major AND a game disqualification penalty, she is declared ineligible to play for the remainder on that game PLUS all of the next game. So obviously a Game DQ is usually much more punitive than a game misconduct, particularly when the game in question is already all but decided and the infraction involves a key player, who would be out for all of the next game.

                    So i guess it is something of a misnomer, at least to the uninitiated, since it suggests something extra serious by the fact of its being added on to an already major penalty. I’ve never seen a DQ, so I assumed a game misconduct was more or less equivalent and thus meant more than enforced extra bench time. (I didn’t really think it was like being put in the stocks; there are not always enough onlookers to make that punitive. )
                    Thanks again.

                      A game misconduct is shown as 10 minutes for stats purposes, but it DOES mean that the player is done for the current game as thirdtime's said. A game DQ means the player is gone for the current game and her next game as well.

                        ARM is of course correct, my error.

                            Goal of the year tonight by Becca Gilmore who held off the Dartmouth player and with a one hand backhand flip scored a shortie to put the Crimson up 3-0. And a tip of the cap to Becky Dutton who made a great save on CC Bowlby alone in front. One of several she had tonight.

                              In the month of January Gilmore centered four different lines and KDR three. The wings were equally new to each other on six of those seven lines. This has not proven to be completely disastrous (4-4-1), but one continued absence (Petrie) does not a need for weekly reshuffles make. Moy, from the now defunct Petrie line, was not dressed Friday night against Dartmouth, and you’d think that would be reason enough to let ever-newish lines, if you had to have them, get established. But no: three more 2020 roll-outs . . . odd, to me anyway. But what did remain consistent during the month was individual drive (Gilmore’s shortie was just the most recent example) combined with an increased impulse to make plays, even when not so sure who your fellow playmakers might be. If this were the NFL I’d say Stone used multiple offensive looks to try to confuse the opposition, but February Beanpot teams are not very confusable. And this Beanpot feels extra big, for all concerned.
