3/7/25 RPI@Harvard

I am not sure the penalty we took was on Hotson. He was playing without a stick for almost 2 minutes but I think it was a defensive player who got called. Almost killed it off but with 4 seconds left in the penalty Harvard found a wide open boy within 4 feet of the net and he just lifted one in. overall I think we played as well for one period as we can. No question we need to stay 5 on 5 or we will have not much chance. Cannot afford any let down from the first 20 minutes as we seemed to be skating and creating chances with virtually every line. Go Red!!!!!!!
On further review - the penalty was called on Hotson (it sure looked like it was a player with a stick in his hands but my view is rather poor at the bar)
 
Second period turned as soon as we fell back into our system of defense that simply is ineffective. This was a very competitive first 20 minutes which rapidly deteriorated when team defense disappeared. The story of this season and last season.
 
We're a team that lives or dies by a goalie having a good performance. Not watching the game, but periodically checking the live stats, and it appears that Harvard is not doing much better on the stat sheet RPI is losing shots on goal by 1 shot, but winning shots total. Harvard is also only leading faceoffs by one faceoff. The stats don't show a game that we should be down by 4 going into the third period. Fingers crossed our offence starts scoring and our defense prevents everything, but expecting the worst this 3rd period.
