Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

Nice job on the blogging. I thought the reffing was good tonight, although I agree the call on Buvinow was pretty weak. Buvinow is maybe 5'8" and 150. He couldn't do any damage. While the guy stayed down a bit to milk it, he was right back out there.

Is Buvinow out tomorrow with that call?

While I wasn't around to appreciate it, I would also like to offer my gratitude, klump. That was very impressive!
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

Right back here tomorrow for game 2. If you can't see it live, be here for all the up to the minute action.
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

No lineup changes for Bruno.

Nick Jaskowiak replaces Mike Matczak on D for Yale. Looks like Blase in net again.
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

Even if they end up losing the series, Yale must win this game in order to not seriously jeopardize their NCAA at-large hopes. They currently sit in a ninth-place tie with Cornell in the PairWise rankings.
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

Brown obviously needs to win the ECAC tournament to extend their season. After tonight, one loss for them and it's all over.

If they do advance here, they will likely face Cornell in the single-elimination ECAC semifinals (barring two Harvard wins in a row at Lynah). That would mean having to face them in front of a very partisan Cornell crowd. But the Bears seem to be thriving on the road in the playoffs after not fairing well at all away from Providence in the regular season.

At this point, I am picking Brown to win this series. Never would have done it before yesterday, but after what I saw from them at RPI and now here at Yale, they are not an underdog. As my recap last night indicated, Brown belongs. They believe. That said, they want to win it tonight. If they let Yale back into the series tonight, that could be all the Elis need to turn things back around.

Clemente is in a zone. He needs to stay in it to beat Yale, Backman or no Backman.

Five minutes to opening face-off. Blase in nets.
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

remember also, with Bemidji State's loss in the CHA semifinals last night, only the top 14 in the PWR will make the tourney.
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

Yale up 1-0 :26 into the game. Little cleans up a rebound from Tom Dignard shot on the right side of the net. Had trouble controlling loose puck but still got it in the near top corner
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

Yale crashed the net hard on that one. They are controlling early possession. Same lines as last night. They look like a different team already though.
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

Jimmy Martin slapshot with a wide open lane from the slot after the puck comes to him off a battle on the wall. Beats Clemente glove side. 2-0 Yale. On the PP at 6:11
 
Re: Brown @ Yale - QF 3/12-14

anyway, 2nd PP unit which scored was Kearney-Mason-Anderson-Martin-Peel. Arcobello took that point spot on the 1st unit usually held by Backman. The change there is Kearner dropping to 2nd unit and Oneill-Miller moving up from 2nd to 1st. That might be the first time Kearney and Little ever didn't play together
