Colgate 2017-18

Re: Colgate 2017-18

Thanks QU. Pretty optimistic preview for the Bobcats.

Grayson is going to keep me off the roads this w/e. Will have to stream games :(
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

Happy for the season to resume tonight - but LOATHE how we’re playing league home games while students are on break.
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

I am also excited about returning to the Class of 1965 Arena both nights this weekend.
My last two Colgate games were losses at Army West Point and Connecticut. Not great.
But, last weekend I did travel to the Three Rivers Classic in Pittsburgh and saw two very good games (Saturday) and two stinkers (Friday, 6-0 and 5-0).
I did enjoy seeing my friends John, Amber & Izzy Sparano from HelmetHead Designs in Omaha, too.
Go 'Gate!
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

What a heartbreaker. Don't think I remember a game in which 'Gate came back so late in the 3rd to tie and then had the rug pulled out from under them. Gotta get up for P'ton tomorrow night. They are getting shellacked by the Ithacans tonight and will be out to salvage the weekend.
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

There was definitely no "Point" in Hamilton last night. I must say I felt sorry for Hamilton last night, three long goals but two were deflected and the other he was screened. He made some great saves also.

Q-Pac deserved the win, we were flat all night until the last minute heroics. I'm not liking what I'm seeing, we need a win tonight badly, only five more home games after tonight and nine away.
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

My first season as a Colgate season ticket-holder and I've learned that to be one, one has to enjoy being on an (emotional) roller-coaster. Last night was no different.
By the way, some college hockey conferences do have a different point system than the traditional one which ECAC Hockey still uses.
For the record, I prefer the NCHC format (except the shootouts) and their point system.
TchrBill, I totally agree with you. Smart-phone and Lap-top pages are both different than before and harder to negotiate.
Room is booked for the ECAC Hockey tournament in Lake Placid. Tickets will be booked later tonight. Allentown NCAA Regional bookings will be next.
Finally, It was good meeting CU13 from on here last night, too. I hope to CU tonight.

Amen to needing that game, team looked completely different last night, always amazes me how they can look terrible then turn it around the next night.

Way closer game than the score indicated, at 2-0 Princeton was still very much in the game, the late third goal put it away. I was very impressed with frosh defensemen Austin and Quillan showing offensive skill, and the rest limiting good scoring chances and keeping a lot of the shots from the perimeter.

A good win keeping us in the thick of things.

I have no idea! Some days, every link takes me to an obscure, unrelated page! Other days, my screen is distorted or the page doesn't load. All is good this a.m. I do not care for the appearance of the main page as it is mostly white and bland. I'm all about aesthetics, first impressions and the wow factor!

I had not picked 'Gate to win this w/e. Without Point, I felt we were the underdogs vs Qpac, even at home. I recalled our 1-1 battle at Hobey earlier this season; their goalie is a talented freshman who can upset anyone, and wasn't sure Point would be playing. Right now we are on the outside Top 4 looking in; any team with a quality goalie like we have should be a Top 4 team and (currently) we are not. However the improvement from the last 2 seasons is all we could ask for.

Ever been to LP before? What an amazing college hockey atmosphere in March! Attendance is always a question mark depending on the teams, but with 3 out of the top 4 current teams being from NY (Cornell, Clarkson and Union), it has great potential. Is there an advantage to booking your tickets this early? The event will not be sold out. If Colgate makes the playoffs, you may want to book through the ticket office and sit with our fans?
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

Bill, We may have the 5th most points in the league so far, but as far as percentages we are 3rd in the league. Harvard has played one more game than us (and they have a midweek game this week against RPI), which is obviously because of the Beanpot in Feb.

We have two games in hand with Union and we are 3 points behind the hated Cornell with our two games to go. We are in a good position and still hopeful for the bye. Lastly, we have now won as many games as we did last year (including the playoffs and it is only January 7th)!

I agree. With the old home page everything was right in front of you on one screen. Now you have to scroll way down to see where the stories are that you would be interested in. As Bill says, it's boring looking at a white page. Not in favor of the redo at all...:( What were they thinking?

I have been to the Olympic Center in Lake Placid several times in the past, but never for a hockey game. I have now seen hockey games at 72 arenas (lifetime), and it has been high on my bucket list for quite a while. I will be joined by a Clarkson season ticket-holder and an Alaska (Fairbanks) regular. We will be sitting in Section 7, row L, which is what I look for in most arenas (lower bowl near center ice, but high enough so as not to look through double-glass). I would love to cheer on Colgate there, but that is not my primary objective. And my feeling is that 'as Colton Point goes, so goes the entire team.' I hate to say that, but, with 20 games down and 14 to go, I personally believe it is true. Go 'Gate!
