Re: Colgate 2009-2010

We're also holding steady at #20 in the INCH Power Rankings :)

Cornell is 9th in INCH, 7th in USCHO. Should be a good one...
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

#20 Colgate vs. #7 Cornell ...

Unless we upset Cornell tomorrow night, we will immediately drop out of the rankings. Something tells me we're being overrated...

Beat Cornell !!!!!
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

You guys aren't overrated, just playing well. I'm surprised we (RPI) actually got votes, despite Wednesday's, well, insert words I'm not allowed to say on this board here.....

Congrats on the rank, and stick it to Cornell. :)
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

This is definitely one of the more anticipated Cornell-Colgate meetings. Hoping for a clean, up-tempo game.
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

FYI, for those listening to the radio broadcast tomorrow night, I'll be joined by an extra special guest during the first intermission. Last year during the Cornell weekend, I caught up with Andy McDonald while he was in Buffalo getting ready to take on the Sabres. And two years ago, I chatted with former longtime Cornell radio broadcaster Grady Whittenberg (someone whose voice introduced me to college hockey in the late 90s). He is now the voice of the AHL's Binghamton Senators.

I won't reveal the special guest here but I will say that his name does appear in the Colgate hockey record book in several different places and that he has played professional hockey. I'll be recording the interview tomorrow morning though if you miss the airing tomorrow night, it should be archived on GoColgateRaiders.com sometime next month during the team's time off.
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

QU at #9. To think how close we came to beating them. I wonder if we'd be ranked that high if we did?....:eek:

Is it time to send QU to HE and bring in Niagara and/or RIT as an ECAC member?
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

I have faith for tonight ! We must stay out of the box...Cornell's got a great PP going. Day's out and Larkin's banged up. McIntyre has to know they'll be trying to get him off his game. Stay composed boys...this is the year !!
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

I haven't followed 'Gate much this year...who's been getting most of the minutes in goal/who can we expect to see tonight at Lynah?

Looking forward to the game!
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

David McIntyre had an incredilble weekend. Even though he took some questionable penalties, I like the fact that he is aggressive and gets involved. His acceleration is incredible and he basically carried the team on his shoulders Saturday night with some help of Evan. I also thought Prockow had a real good weekend, and is starting to emerge as a force.
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

Now that I've fully digested the results of tonight's game, I might as well post my thoughts.

We outshoot the Red 13-4 in the final period only to lose. Cornell only shoots the puck on the net FOUR times in the 3rd period and scored twice (albeit one of them was an empty-net goal). That's an unfortunate bitter pill to swallow.

But IMO, watching the video from Cornell All-Access, we actually played a relatively even game with the Red. What proved to be the difference was taking two bad penalties -- one late in the 2nd and one late in the 3rd -- that both lead to Cornell power-play goals and ultimately losing the game. I'll give credit to the entire team though -- holding Cornell to 19 shots (the 20th was the empty-netter) can only mean one thing, the defense was alert tonight. The penalty kill still needs improvement though, as we've given up 6 power-play goals in the last 3 games.

Alex Evin played a very solid game in a tough rink for any visiting team to play in. I'm sure he'll probably get another start in at least one of the games at Union and RPI. He'll need to work on being more alert at the start and end of periods, as well as not letting a goal against get to him. Several times I've seen him give up a goal only to give up another one within the next 5 minutes. (Think: tonight's 2nd period, Lowell 3rd period, Princeton 3rd period, Army 3rd period, Yale 3rd period back in January.)

Some good news though, our power-play is coming around. We were TWO for four tonight against a team that usually has the best penalty kill in the league. Brisebois and Prockow are picking up right where they left off last Saturday against Princeton. If they can keep it up, we'll have a solid 2nd scoring line -- something we haven't had since at least the 2005-06 season!

I just hope Day's injury isn't too serious. With a 10-day break ahead of us, hopefully our banged-up players will have plenty of time to get healthy again. Finally, the Cornell radio broadcasters mentioned that McIntyre was limping in the 3rd. Hopefully this isn't too serious, and that having the upcoming weekend off will allow him to rest up.

We were able to keep Cornell in check at Lynah for most of the game. Here's to a win over Cornell at Starr this season...
 
Re: Colgate 2009-2010

FYI, I apologize to anyone that listened to the WKXZ broadcast of the game tonight, though judging by the game thread, not many of you did (RedCast instead). Lots of technical difficulties throughout the night including my microphone cutting out a generous amount and a five-minute span during the second period when we were off the air (during a PP and Brisebois' goal) that I didn't know about until after the fact. It's a problem with our equipment that hopefully will be fixed by the next game on Dec. 4 at Union.
