Colgate 2017-18

Earlier this hockey season, it was snowing and blowing and drifting, so I thought I would avoid Hwy. 26 from Whitney Point, which is my usual route here. I-81 was nicely plowed, but I forgot how hilly Hwy. 20 is east of Lafayette. Single lane. Follow the tire tracks in front of you, up and down the hills. Not fun.

Not that it'll help this season but - from Owego, I've always taken Rt. 12 up from Binghamton through Norwich, then 12B in Sherburne. It avoids most of the worst hills/curves, and 12 is pretty well traveled so usually clearer than the other non-interstate roads.

I hope the building is sold out on Saturday. They deserve it.

I would be very surprised if all the seats were sold, plus there's standing room, but it would be great if it was. The students are just getting up around 1 or 2.

I have to say congrats to the womens team for being a #3 seed in the NCAA tourney, and bringing the NCAA's to Class of 65 rink next Saturday against Northeastern. I know I'll be there.

Also, #3 in the USCHO, USA Today/USA Hockey Polls and the PWR. 'Gate swept Northeastern in Hammy in the Fall. They've only lost 1 game in the Class of '65 Arena this season. If 'Gate stays focussed, they should move on to the Frozen Four in the U. of Minnesota women's rink in Minneapolis next weekend. The opponent will be the winner of this weekend's Wisconsin-Minnesota game.

OFFICIAL BRACKET : https://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/icehockey-women/nc

This game will really be an historic event and a symbol of the Class of 65's contribution to the re-branding of the womens program: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/col...ollowing-the-program-3-yr-turnaround-t23.html

There's more to come. This program has turned irrevocably...the confluence of a great marketing/recruiting vision that anticipated the impact of the Class of '65 Arena, elite recruits drawn to the challenge/opportunity and the superb leadership by Greg Fargo's group. The pipeline is full and the story is only getting better.

Thanks. I totally agree with your logic. If things are the least bit ‘iffy,’ that is the way I come home (always slowing down to under-the-speed-limit in Oxford). On the way north, I usually leave myself time and take twisty-turny Hwy. 26. But, again, thanks!
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

I heard the illness on the team Sunday that cost us players was from food poisoning, hope they have recovered.
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

So as far as this weekend..... I think we have a shot, we played Clarkson well at Cheel this year (4-4 tie without Point and w/ keilly). We have always played well at cheel, and game three last weekend was dominate. Yes it was only 2 goals, but if you were at the game or watched it, it wasn’t even close. I think all of these are good things coming into this weekend. I know this is looking ahead, but if we get the Placid, you have to give the coaching staff some credit (at minimum for recruiting Point)

Totally agree. We had great momentum on Sunday. And I already give the staff credit for recruiting Colton Point. Do we know who specifically deserves that credit?

Re: Colgate 2017-18

ECAC writer has us losing in three, says we lost both games in reg season to them 5-2, how do you screw up so badly, it was 5-2 and 4-4 tie.

I haven't seen the ECAC writer get one column right this year, there is always at least one screwup in there. Oh and good luck this weekend - getting home ;)

I was wrong, we win game one 2-1. Nice powerplay goal and the gamewinner by a hard working Cochrell who fought off a defender and buried one five hole. Quelle surprise !!!

Congrats to gate on the game one win. Difference in the game, glove hand of Point and Kielly sieving on Cochrell's goal. Just awful.

I look for another similar game tomorrow with hopefully a different result. ;)
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

Down here in Westchester we've been without power or cable/internet most of the week, semi-forgot about the series & was very pleased with the last 10 minutes on the radio! On to tomorrow's problem, having dinner with a good buddy/alum who's notoriously cheap... may have to convince his wife to spring for the Boxcast!
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

Our team is so young these guys are not fazed by the pressure. Great win! Keep it up tomorrow....Clarkson is gonna let it all hang out..
