Shabby - I think the schedule makers thought this would be a "breather" to keep the boys in shape during the long break. Sort of like a scrimmage..
They were wrong, wrong, wrong.....

Just in case anyone wants to watch this game, it is on Time Warner Syracuse tonight at 7:30 pm. Kevin Sylvester from Buffalo Sabres TV is on the call with Rob Ray on color.

Re: Colgate 2009-2010
Canisius isn't terrible - they've beaten Air Force and Ferris St (who is 13-3-2) this year. Sure it's a game we should have won, being up 2 with less than 5 minutes to go. But I like how we can put the puck in the net - the defense will get better. We're a fun team to watch for the first time in 3-4 years. If we're going to lose I'd rather it be 7-6 than 2-1.

Re: Colgate 2009-2010
Canisius isn't great either. They are 9-9-2 and lost to Army twice, Holy Cross twice and are standing 50th in KRACH -(we're at #37) - with a SOS of 26.5. Admittedly we tied Army, and anything can happen when the puck is dropped...but still, this is a team we should have put away...Bessette or no Bessette. This was a W on the schedule that is now lost....but perhaps I'm hyperventilating..

Re: Colgate 2009-2010
At this point, it is what it is and the game is over with. Canisius played a heck of a hockey game and certainly picked up a deserved victory. They played the game of their lives (like a playoff game since this was their only ECAC game all year) and Colgate couldn't match their overall tenacity and grit in the end. The same team went up to Cheel Arena last year and beat Clarkson in OT, at least this was on the road.
Hopefully getting the next two week to think about the loss, while at home for the holidays, will have the team ready to go for the Notre Dame tournament. I know in talking with the players at the start of the season, a lot of them spoke about the Brown/Yale weekend and how it motivated them the rest of the season. Maybe this loss is this year's Brown/Yale weekend. Plus, the last few years there has been a bad loss, last year it was that entire weekend, the year before that it was at home to UCONN, a night after beating them 7-1.
My only regret on the weekend was not going up to the press box to meet Rob Ray

We don't need smack talk on this thread. You're either with us, or agin' us. Differences of opinion are tolerated, but hammering 'Gate hockey fans is out of bounds.
There is a place for smack on the USCHO board...

Re: Colgate 2009-2010
UHky, I don't understand those numbers, except for the fact that if you add the numbers vertically, you get 7-6-4, our regular season record so far.
Also, looking at the boxscore ... why did all of our players have a "negative" rating in the +/- statistic? Firman 2 goals, MINUS 3. Price 2 goals, MINUS 2. Day and Smith EACH 4 points, but MINUS 1. Only Bartliff finished with a PLUS (+1), despite not recording a point. I guess because we scored 6 goals and lost?
I'm sure someone who understands hockey statistics more than me can explain this.

Go away! You back-stabbing traitor...
And I mean it in the nicest way possible.

Re: Colgate 2009-2010
+/- is for even strength goals. 4 of our 6 goals were PP goals so the players on the ice don't get a + or - .
I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that if a team gets a short handed goal then those players get a + while the other team's players get a minus.

1/2 - 7:05 pm EST, 6:05 pm CST, Colgate vs. Notre Dame
1/3 - 4:05 pm EST, 3:05 pm CST, Colgate vs. North Dakota or Niagara
The Sunday game time is set in stone because Notre Dame is playing the late game both nights.

Thanks for the Above info. Will Mac be back in the line-up for Chicago trip. Is his lower body injury on the mend, and was it caused in the RIT game by chance ?
