Couldn't have said it better myself.Yoweeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Wish I'd been there to see it. I admit there were some doubts when we almost gave up a shortie on our second 5x3, and then again on SLU's ENG. What a game. Rest up boys. You got a big fight ahead of you tomorrow night. LET'S GO GATE!Couldn't have said it better myself.
When did SLU score an ENG?
still an empty net

Great win by colgate tonight!
At 13th in the PWR at nights end is sucks knowing a loss tomorrow and we are out of the tourney no matter what. Why I argue the Pairwise always begins on the first game because a tie at providence or at home to Mercyhurst puts us in the tourney as we would be 10th in the PWR. The worst part is though that right now under the old PWR we would be 7th!!! Crazy stuff

Re: Colgate 2014-15
Congrats to you all for a nice win and a well played game. Your boys were the better team for much of the night and you sure took advantage of the open looks you had. I'm sure Hayton would like to have that third goal back. We were really carrying the play in the OT and I thought for sure we were going to win.....but it only takes one and your best player stepped up and buried it. Good luck tomorrow against Harvard.

Re: Colgate 2014-15
Was at the game tonight (or I guess last night!). Just a great hockey game, and I'd like to think that I would say that even if we would have lost.
Spiro took a shot on the foot on the 1st period. He only played a couple of shifts on the PP in the 2nd period. He didn't play at all in the 3rd or OT. So Don went with 4 defenseman pretty much from the 2nd period on. Corcoran was dressed but didn't play -- don't know what's up with that. So I hope Lough, Johnston, Kulevich and Corkey get a good night sleep as they did yeomans work tonight.
Still don't know who scored the winner as I just got back home. Harvard's good but so are we. Should be another good one.

Re: Colgate 2014-15
Borkowski won it -- somebody stop this fairy tale!!
So the Murphy-Borkowski-Wilson line accounted for all 4 goals. So tomorrow it's the Spinks-Baun's turn.
Lidgett-Gentzler-Panowyk were good tonight also. Let's get all 4 lines on the scoresheet tomorrow! A power play goal would also be nice. I guess I want everything.

No, if Harvard and BU win, Yale is in, at least that is the latest analysis. BTW, nice win Gate, I had you done in OT, but was pleasantly surprised!

Re: Colgate 2014-15
Based on the template of HARVARD and BU winning, there are 16 possible scenarios involving the other 4 conferences.
Quinnipiac is in under ALL scenarios. The only permutation whereby YALE DOES NOT get in is:
MERCYHURST+Minnesota+MIAMI+MICHIGAN TECH
IN THAT CASE YALE LANDS ON UNLUCKY #16 AND IS BOOTED BY MERCYHURST'S AQ !!!

Very disappointing to lose . . . especially after showing such character in the third and controlling much of the overtime period. But it was a great game, and we had a great season. Colgate played very well, and that meant that a couple of mistakes were really costly. Nice job and I hope you guys make the tourney.

Re: Colgate 2014-15
Okay, now your original post makes sense to me. Now for my thoughts on last night's game:
In short form: We did it again! Two years in a row we win an OT thriller on the miracle ice!
In long form: This was another close game with a lot of excitement. I saw in St. Lawrence this year a lot of what I saw in Colgate last season: a young team that comes together at the right time, makes a good regular season run to finish 2nd place, then make it to Lake Placid. Even more, they didn't have just one or two forwards putting up eye-popping numbers, but rather a balanced scoring attack. And they had a freshman goaltender that was putting up some amazing statistics!
Anyways, I was a bit shocked to see us score first. When was the last time we had a 1-0 lead in an ECAC Semifinal game before last night? I thought scoring first and early was key to set the tone of the game, and it worked in the 1st period. But SLU had an answer in the 2nd period, which did not surprise me given that their season was on the line. For the most part, this game felt a lot like our games against Dartmouth: a close game, tied after 2 periods, then we score to take the lead in the 3rd and stick to our system. Until there was 1:36 left on the clock. I'm not saying we collapsed here, but when we gave up that EAG late in the 3rd, I was getting stressed out. I was almost certain the reverse of our game last year was going to happen, as if it were some sort of karma. But then Mike Borkowski scores in OT to send us back to the ECAC Championship game. It's hard to believe he's scored back-to-back gamewinners after all he's been through! Even more strange, I'm 4-0 whenever I see Colgate play an OT playoff game.
The wider sheet of ice certainly brought about a new dynamic to the game last night. There were some instances where what normally may have been icing on the NHL sheet was not icing on the Olympic sized sheet, most notably when a player attempted to ricochet a puck off the boards. With the wider ice, I noticed Colgate had an easier time clearing the puck at times, and there were more offsides calls and fewer icing calls altogether. Also, we had a great fan base last night! We were chanting "Let's go 'Gate" and "Here we go Colgate, here we go" several times, effectively balancing out the "S-L-U!" chants from the many SLU fans in attendance. I didn't see any Harvard fan base at the early game yesterday, so here's hoping we can make the Herb Brooks Arena a "home-ice advantage" of sorts for the Raiders tonight! Lastly, we were the only school that brought its pep band to Lake Placid! Let's go 'Gate!!!!!

2000 vs RPI. We lost 3-1 but still made the NCAAs that year.
I hope I'm not jinxing anything but I have a good feeling about tonight's game that somehow we'll get it done. But we'll need more than 4 defenseman to do it. Don't know if Spiro will be a go after last night.

Re: Colgate 2014-15
Congrats 'Gate and good luck tonight. I ran into shabby last night just after warmups and he was as nervous as a cat in a roomful of rocking chairs. He's obviously smiling this morning.
