Re: Colgate 2013-14

Davey vs Goliath, Cornell has thirteen players 6-2 or better. Seven players 6-3 or over, and Five 6-4 or over :eek:. They score a lot of PP goals, must camp out in front. We're a lot quicker, I hope, we need to beat them with our speed, and stay outta the Sin Bin.
I can't blame you for assuming the camping out in front strategy - makes a whole lot of sense. However, it's actually not the case - the Cornell pp has been passing and moving the puck much better than I've seen it in years. If anything, the complaints over on eLynah (if you can have a complaint about the #5 pp in the nation) are that it's TOO patient and it seems like they're looking for perfect shots. Definitely not a scrum-it-up-in-front-of-the-goalie sort of pp.
 
Re: Colgate 2013-14

I trust no scuffles will break out on the handshake line this year?

Will there be a handshake line at Lynah? Or will they save that for the second game, at Starr?

What? No Patriot League Network feed of the game with Gate Radio doing the broadcast? :eek:

We've really felt the lack of an oak in front with good hands. The great pp conversion (if anything, it's even better than the numbers so far) comes down to excellent quarterbacking from the point and a lot of very talented forwards. OTOH, in most games this year we've really been outplayed 5x5, so anybody who stays out of the box has a good shot.

Kind of. Esposito (6-4) never plays (he's of all things a golfer, on the team for sheer emergency D depth -- if he plays something has gone horribly wrong). De Swardt (6-5) and Craig (6-5) rotate based on who's made the most recent mistake, so you only face one of them. Hibrich (6-6) plays most nights and seems to have it together now. Willcox (6-4), Patrick McCarron and Kubiak (6-3 freshmen and still growing) do play every night. So you will most likely see only five guys 6-3 and over. Two of the 6-2ers (Ferlin, Lowry) have freakishly long reaches and Weidner plays bigger than his 6-2 (I'd have guessed he was more like 6-4 actually).

But yes, this is certainly a very big team and unlike recent editions they're much faster as well, particularly on the wings. I still expect us to try to clog things up on 'Gate, though. Seems like the Raiders always have a step on us in this rivalry.

The PLN is only for home games. I'll still have live audio on the WKXZ webstream. Then, we'll be back on the PLN for the UMass series.
 
Re: Colgate 2013-14

Do we recruit at all ? What is going(not) on ? No one showing up on Heisenberg. Weburg,Rane etc ?
 
Re: Colgate 2013-14

Shabby - I'm seeing Racine and Weberg on Heisenberg plus three for 2015. Not much action expected on the recruiting front this year as we've only 2 seniors to replace. Based on past practices, we are done for next year at this point. Need six for 2015 and we have three already. Guessing we won't see much more until next summer fall as for whatever reason we don't seem to get guys multi-years out the way most other non Atlantic teams do.

We offer 4 scholarships per year, therefore when all is said and done, we should have at least 4 incoming players for next season. Colgate usually doesn't announce the incoming class until the summer months. Also, if we were to be replacing roster spots we would have 6 incoming players next year (remember, there were 6 incoming freshmen back in 2010, and 4 of them left school).

As of now we have 2 forwards and 1 goaltender coming in for next season. That would give us 16 forwards, 7 defensemen, and 3 goaltenders. Hopefully we can recruit at least 1 defensemen so that we can have some depth on the blue line.
 
Re: Colgate 2013-14

Just wondering, is it fours scholies a year, or sixteen total ? Hence, if we lost two scholarships from players leaving, can we have maybe six for the current year ?
 
Re: Colgate 2013-14

Remember, the NCAA scholarship limit is 18. But I think Colgate limits its scholarship total to 16. I'm not sure if we offered more than 4 scholarships to both our current freshmen and sophomore classes as a result of our having only 2 seniors this year (and similarly, only 2 juniors last year).
 
Re: Colgate 2013-14

The news release I received today states that the Big Red will carry the game on a video feed, and to check Gate Hockey Central for a link. A look at the site does not reveal just where to look for this. Anyone have any ideas? :eek:
 
Re: Colgate 2013-14

It's on the IVY League Network...think for a fee. Unless your news is a different feed. Look on the bottom of the Gocolgate raiders site, it's there.
