I think she is referring to spiro, even though she mentions him in the next sentence. Unless it happened during practice I didn't see anything on Saturday. She wasn't great with details as she mentioned we were tied for 4th. So I'm ahem hoping that she was bad with details or misinterpreted Vaughn

We are tied for fourth, two points out of third. Four teams tied for third, anything can happen.

Who the hell is hurt now, I'm afraid to guess, we are snakebitten.
 
Re: Colgate 2014-15

We are tied for 7th. We are tied for the fourth most points in the league but if the season ended today we would be 8th.

Everyone looked fairly healthy on Saturday although it was some what confusing to keep track of because the Spinks and wilson were on the same line. My mind always assumes it is spinks + Baun.
 
Re: Colgate 2014-15

Don't everyone go crazy over this. I could be mistaken and took her language in the article the wrong way.

Unless someone got hurt in practice this week, I think this is not worth thinking about...

The season doesn't end today.
 
Re: Colgate 2014-15

The way the article on CHN is written, it is implied that another player got injured in practice this week. It's also possible that the writer was referring to Spiro, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

That said, another poster had mentioned how back in 2007, Mark Dekanich got injured in practice, resulting in our getting swept by St. Lawrence in the 2007 ECAC Quarterfinals. That year, St. Lawrence won the Cleary Cup and made the NCAA tournament (their most recent NCAA appearance to date). And very early last year, RPI goalie Jason Kasdorf injured himself in practice, resulting in his missing the remainder of the 2013-14 season. Significant injuries during practices are not uncommon; I just hope we didn't get slammed again, just like Boston these past few weeks with the snow! In fact, Beantown has gotten more snow than Syracuse in the past 3 weeks!

Anyways, I'll be at tomorrow night's game, and maybe at the Dartmouth game on Saturday (although all signs are pointing to another blizzard hitting New England - we CANNOT catch a break). Here's hoping for a couple wins...

"Say It Isn't So" as a famous Phillie duo sang back in the 70's.

Geez!....what did we ever do to Lady Luck? Just got to pull up our bootstraps and play the best we can this w/e.
 
Re: Colgate 2014-15

Just gotta win. take the season from here on in weekend to weekend that's all we can do.

Hey maybe we can sneak up on teams now, we seem to play better when we do that

Hamilton played really well in his only start vs Yale, he allowed two goals, we were without Spink, Borokowski, and Murphy that game. If the boys want these games they just need to play like they did last year at this time.

What's the severity of Finn's injury, I was worried it might be him. Anyone have triskadekaphobia, or is it a good thing ?
 
Re: Colgate 2014-15

I'm thinking saturday night's game has a good chance of being postponed because of the upcoming blizzard. Maybe only one game without Finn ?

It's only expected to be a blizzard in Boston and parts of Maine. But Hanover is still expected to get around 6". I wonder if the Harvard-Cornell game on Saturday gets postponed. Harvard caught a break with the Beanpot consolation getting postponed, but they'll have to play in the North Country next weekend then play BC on Monday. If their game against Cornell gets postponed, it just makes a mess not only for those two teams, but for the league as well.

As far as tonight goes, ugh. We (just like Boston) can. NOT. catch. a. break! This whole new unfolding of things is VERY reminiscent of what happened back in March 2007, when Mark Dekanich got injured before the playoff series against St. Lawrence! But Zac Hamilton did play a good game against Yale, only allowing 2 goals, one of them a "back-breaker" goal with 3 seconds left in the first period, right off a faceoff after we iced the puck. I still think had that not happened, we may have had a different outcome against Yale back in November.

Hopefully Finn is only out for 2 games. I wonder what Spiro's status is? Gotta focus one game at a time and win tonight. I'll be at the game cheering with a bunch of Colgate fans. Happy Colgate Day!

I don't think so. Lynah East is too big a game and the snow is not supposed to start until Saturday afternoon. Cornell should already be in town. I do doubt a lot of teams will be busing home on Saturday night. I have never seen a league game postponed due to snow and if it is going to happen this won't be the storm to do it.

According to USCHO a lot of Saturday's games are being moved up to 4 PM - at least the HE games.

Go Zac!

Wrong game, talking Gate vs Dartmouth, I guess Cornell would be in same situation though.

You're too good, you're not fooling anyone. :)

Just win. Nothing would please me more than to have both Central NY teams sweep through to the end of the RS. If nothing else it might win me the Predicted Standings thread. :p

The Hanover game would be a bigger risk since the roads back to Hamilton are crappy, and the alternative route is far longer. But at the same time, the team will already be in town before the snow gets bad, so it makes more sense to play the game and then have them stay over night rather than immediately heading home.

This is the first time ALL year we have had no forwards hurt, can't believe Borkowski is back ! When Goulakis comes back we will have our full team skating for the first time ALL year.

We're without our goalie (Finn) this weekend. We've been without our top defenseman (Goulakos) since we played you guys. Tomorrow marks 4 weeks without Spiro; he was expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

In other news, tomorrow's game at Dartmouth is still on, according to this tweet:
