In college the coach has a decision to take the penalty shot or a PP. Been that way for a few years now.

Had to check that out for myself. I guess you can learn something new everyday. :o

Penalty Shot/Optional Minor Penalty
SECTION 6. a. When any infraction of the rules calls for a penalty shot not involving a major, disqualification or misconduct penalty, the non-offending team shall be given the option of accepting the penalty shot or having a minor penalty assessed to the offending player. If, however, a major, disqualification or misconduct penalty is incurred with the penalty shot, the shot shall be awarded and the penalty for the prescribed infraction shall be assessed.

That's what I thought as well, although it was not posted on collegehockeystats.net's box score; they do typically put timeouts in there.

Thanks. We'll see your team again in about a month. I just hope we don't have to play you guys in the playoffs, given how the bottom teams have been doing there lately.
 
Re: Colgate 2010-11

Appert's done a great job, especially with the loss of two studs after their freshmen years. It's ironic that he replaced Dan Fridgen, who had a decent record (I think 191 wins, 177 losses and a bunch of ties) and was one of Terry Slater's studs that turned around our program in 1978-79. As lead assistant coach at Denver he was a great choice and I give RPI credit for going in another direction after several tough years (Fridgen did get RPI to the NCAAs two or three times). Although I think DV should stay, we've got to do something to turn around a falling program here. I'm not optimistic...
 
Re: Colgate 2010-11

After seeing Brown hit rock bottom, how about their turnaround, finally giving Yale their first league loss. If Bruno's program can become a potent force in just a couple of years, what do we need to do to replicate it?

P.S. Another eye opener: Dartmouth taking down UNH. I predicted the Big Green would be a strong ECAC team this season...now they are becoming big on the national scene.;)

211-193-36. Fridgen took RPI to the NCAA tourney once, during his first year.

I think that Steve Miller was actually Denver's lead AC. I agree that Seth Appert has been doing quite well after losing two important players after one season.
 
Re: Colgate 2010-11

Not sure the logic of taking one of your best penalty killers and most hard nosed players- Mayer out of the lineup. Also. Why go short bench early in second?

Was there an injury during the Union game? Perhaps an illness (this is the time of year for those)?
 
Re: Colgate 2010-11

Our bench goes short 1/2 way through the 1st period. I'm shocked that the guys on the PP and PK can even skate when we get to the 3rd.

This drives me crazy. And, usually the guys he is shortening to are the ones that are taking dumb penalties off the puck (probably because they are exhausted). At this point of a failing season just roll four lines and see who can play. At leaset you gain experience for next year and can see who can play and who can't.

Appert has gotten much needed support from the RPI Administration that Fridgen didn't have, and I disagree that he had several tough years.
 
Re: Colgate 2010-11

OK. I'm with Shabby. I am AGAIN looking to the future. Can't wait for the weekend. Just hope and pray we don't have our hearts ripped out again.
I had to post this just to prove that this could be the best team ever in college hockey with the worst record.

# 10/9 vs. Army (Hyannis, Mass.) 3-1 W
# 10/16 vs. Brock (Exhibition) 3-2 W
# 10/22 at Lake Superior State 2-1 L (Pulled Goalie)
# 10/23 at Lake Superior State 5-4 L (Pulled Goalie)
# 10/30 vs. Sacred Heart (RS Home Opener) 5-0 W
# 11/5 at Clarkson (ECAC Opener) 4-4 OT T (OVERTIME)
# 11/6 at St. Lawrence 4-1 L
# 11/12 vs. Princeton 4-3 L (PULLED GOALIE)
# 11/13 vs. Quinnipiac (Silver Puck) 3-1 L (PULLED GOALIE)
# 11/19 vs. Brown 5-2 L (PULLED GOALIE ENG)
# 11/20 vs. Yale 6-4 L
# 11/23 at Niagara 4-2 L (PULLED GOALIE ENG)
# 11/27 vs. Cornell (Newark, N.J.) 4-3 L (PULLED GOALIE)
# 12/4 at Army 3-0 W
# 12/11 vs. Niagara 4-3 OT L (PULLED GOALIE TO TIE IT)
# 12/18 at Robert Morris 3-2 OT L (PULLED GOALIE TO TIE IT)
# 12/19 at Robert Morris 3-1 L (PULLED GOALIE)
# 12/30 vs. Boston College (@ Dartmouth) 6-5 L (PULLED GOALIE)
# 12/31 at Dartmouth 4-3 OT L (OVERTIME)
# 1/7 at Quinnipiac 3-1 L (PULLED GOALIE ENG)
# 1/9 at Princeton (ESPNU) 5-4 L (PULLED GOALIE)
# 1/14 vs. Union 2-1 L (PULLED GOALIE)
# 1/15 vs. RPI 2-1 OT L (OVERTIME)

Based on the Bold lettering I would say there are 2 games, Yale (which I thought they played pretty well) and St Lawrence (I thought this was the worst game of the year) that we weren't close in.

So, as far as I know, Coach Vaughan will indeed by the on the coaches show tonight. If that changes, I'll post here and on my Twitter @JohnMcGrawWKXZ. I'm not sure which players will be joining him - my guess is seniors/upperclassmen likely. The show will be on 93.9 FM on the radio dial and available through the Internet on TEAMLINE (basically just like the game broadcasts).

I'd like to take a few questions from the crowd and we'll do so in an organized manner i.e. submit your written question with your name and where you are from to our screener. Please keep your questions respectful and do keep in mind we'll only be able to have a few on the air due to time constraints. The show starts at 7:00 p.m. and runs through 8:00 p.m. but Coach Vaughan will only be on during the first half of the show.
 
Re: Colgate 2010-11

Gaterrooter -- nice work on the game-by-game analysis. I will agree with you that our loss @St. Lawrence was probably our worst game of the season (I'm writing it off as the Appleton hex). Similarly, the loss against Yale was another of our "decisive" losses -- keep in mind they're #1 in the country and even if we had a winning record, I still think we would have lost that game despite the fact that we played very, VERY well in that matchup. But seriously, essentially EVERY OTHER game not counting those two we've been either tied or down by a single goal with under a minute left in regulation.

Other mumbo jumbo -- we haven't beaten Cornell since January 2007. None of the players currently on the team have experienced a win vs. the Big Red. If we can't muster a single win this weekend not only will we still have that "donut", "monkey on our back", etc. to deal with but Brian Day, Francois Brisebois, and Wade Poplawski will have been the first graduating class in quite some time to have NEVER enjoyed a victory against Cornell. We've defeated every other team in the conference at least once in the past 4 seasons -- but not Cornell. Can this weekend be the epic turnaround that we've been waiting for? I sure hope so. And this time I REALLY hope I'm right, as I've been saying this quite a few times this season.
