Re: Colgate 2012-13
gotta agree with Magoo...virtually NO scoring from the seniors against both Union and RPI...our even strength scoring in the ECAC this year is roughly 1.5 goals/game...I think we compete and I think we're pretty well coached, but, overall, the roster talent isn't quite there...it's close, yes...we've got a real opportunity over the next two years to complement the Ontario Eight...I desperately hope we take advantage; I'm not any younger...

As things stand now we would play Union. I don't like our chances vs. them. If we move up a slot maybe Clarkson or Brown. While I'd rather play either of those teams, both are improving, especially Bruno. So... it's pick your poison. Just hope DV has played the right psychological hand in beginning to go with Mihalik, and that we can take both games this coming weekend and get some stability before the post-season.

Not exactly true. Vs. Union: Larkin - 9th and 10th assists; Price - 13th assist; Bourdon - 17th assist and 9th goal, albeit ENG.

Re: Colgate 2012-13
I'm trying to find some info on one of our incoming frosh next year - Julian Fialkow??? - without success. Since it does look as if we'll be down to 20 skaters next fall (unless I'm missing something) our margin for error is very, very small. I assume that one of three things is possible: 1) my informational sources are simply inadequate to the task; 2) he sustained an injury and is not playing this year; 3) he was abducted by aliens several months ago and resides on the mother ship...any help would be great appreciated since I'm at work with nothing to do but watch Italian election returns...

Re: Colgate 2012-13
OK, GreenCoat, finding this Fialkow kid was NOT easy. Apparently, he started the season with the Jr. Warriors of the EJHL. Good news because that league has produced some quality players (Chris Wagner comes to mind). Oh wait, there's bad news too--he played 12 games amassing a line of 0-1-1 (http://www.easternjunior.com/stats/team_instance/218522?subseason=80170) whereupon he disappeared. After what seemed like hours of more due diligence I tracked down his next team: the New England Wolves which was an altogether unknown program to me. More good news, that team has a 36-13-5 record and is sending a ton of kids to play college hockey. At powerhouse programs like Assumption, Becker College and (my personal favorite) St. Olaf. Oh, and on this roster of future Division 6 college stars our boy Fialkow played a grand total of 7 games with a 0-0-0 line(http://www.americanhockeyinstitute..../americanhockeyinstitute/home-page/statistics). Keep in mind this is a team averaging 4.71 goals a game at as far as I can tell the lowest level of hockey imaginable.
So, I would have to say that I would regard his chances of success at the next level with a mild degree of skepticism.

Re: Colgate 2012-13
I really hope I'm wrong here Marmot and, believe me, nothing personal against the young man...I just don't know and I doubt that, God Forbid, Silver Puck provide us with any update on our incoming kids...but, and again and again and again and again, this is NOT a way to develop (or complement) a team with sufficient talent to compete for an NCAA bid...and if that is NOT what we're after then my passion and (very secondarily) my financial support is truly a waste...

Re: Colgate 2012-13
I am just trying to figure out the unlikely situation that would allow 'gate to have another game at home. Based on my calculations, we need 4 of the next 5 things to happen; Colgate gets 4 points, Brown gets no more than 1, Cornell gets no more than 1, Princeton gets no more than 1, or Clarkson gets 0. We could tie Brown but would have to beat the other teams. Looks like that one point lost with 10 seconds to go could be important coming down the stretch.
Does anyone else see another way it could happen?

Re: Colgate 2012-13
If we are going to play another home game, we need to sweep this weekend. Less than 4 points and we WILL be on the road for the rest of this season.
However, we also need THREE of the following four scenarios to also happen in order to play at home again:
-Princeton cannot earn more than 1 point.
-Brown cannot earn more than 1 point.
-Cornell cannot earn more than 1 point.
-Clarkson must get swept.
Remember, Brown and Cornell play each other on Friday night.

Re: Colgate 2012-13
True, but then they will both need to lose on Saturday. (Then again, we're playing Brown Saturday, so it's a matter of Yale beating Cornell.)
They could always tie.

Re: Colgate 2012-13
While we bide our time for this weekend's games: Andy McDonald has been placed on injured reserve by the Blues. Also, Smitty has been traded to the Idaho Steelheads by Texas (I believe it was Texas?). Any other posters have news worth reporting?
