Colgate 2017-18

Re: Colgate 2017-18

I would have liked to win the second ASU game but it was probably the outcome the teams deserved. We DOMINATED the 1st, but you could see ASU come back and it was a good match up. They were much bigger than us and it reminded me of traditional Cornell games.

I will say that the puck rolled over the sticks a few times later in the game, I couldn't tell if it was the ice or if we were having issues. Our passes have been fast and on the sticks however or "reception" of the pucks has not been crisp, hopefully that will improve....well it is onto League Play, and I think we will surprise many this year and this year has already been better than expected (most likely do to Point). Look at his numbers, he is "#2" in GAA and Save percentage. The only goalie ahead of him is the Cornell goalie, who has only played two games so it a little deceiving.

And look who they played:)
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

Our PP and penalty minutes are substandard while our goaltending is super. Point is in reality leading the nation in GAA when you consider that Cornell and Harvard's stats are meaningless. Our GA numbers are better that our offense numbers, but we gotta get our GPG figures up.....2.28 isn't looking so good :(

Hey Gate fans! ASU guy here. Enjoyed playing you guys these past two seasons. I grew up in Vermont and used to love the ECAC matches with you and UVM. As an ASU Alum it was great seeing our school on the same ice. Never thought I would see D1 hockey at ASU. You guys looked much better than last year and I wish you the best of luck this season. You have an absolutely beautiful arena. I have to make it up to see it in person some day. We are supposed to get word on ours shortly and wish they would do something like yours. Cheers, Gate fans!

Go Devils!

Thanks Revs. It was great playing the Sun Devils at home and at your place. When you get some word on your new rink please pass it along. Always interested in seeing what other schools are doing with their hockey programs. You have a big team and they performed well in Hamilton, especially the last two periods of Saturday's game. Good luck the rest of the season. I hope the schools will make this a home & home series again in the future. The players appreciate taking in the warm weather and sun in AZ :)

Great to see Colton named co-Goaltender of the Month and Nick Austin being named Rookie of the Month by the ECAC. Tough weekend coming up. Go 'Gate!!
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

We go back to the scene of the crime tonight - the crime of being robbed of what would have given us a double-digit win total last season. Time to avenge that! Go 'Gate!
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

Proud of the team tonight! Colton was amazing and the team was "on Point." A great team effort on the road. Looking forward to the same effort tomorrow at Quinnipiac. GO 'GATE!!!!
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

Point was super fantastic last night, including a breakaway save on Verroneau with two mins left in OT. He has given up ONE goal in the last three games and has ONE win to show for it. Gate did have some decent scoring chances last night despite being outshot. A good and hard earned point.

Q-Pac lost to Cornell last night and will be very upset, going to have our hands full again. We still can't score which is our Achilles heel, three for thirty eight on the PP has to change if we want to challenge for a home playoff spot.

Only one penalty which we will need to do again tonight, the first ten minutes tonight is the key to the game. It's being broadcast on ESPN3 (stream).
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18

Another shut out for the women today at Class of '65. Can the men make it 4 for 4? Whoops - spoke to soon but 4-1 works well too.

Thought the boys played a very mature game tonight. Stayed within themselves, didn't try to do too much, lots of defensive layers, caused Q to make some mistakes and took advantage of them. Strong team effort to limit a good teams scoring chances with Point making a couple of big-time A saves to keep those scoring chances from amounting to anything. Not shut-outs today but matching 4-1 wins will do.
 
Re: Colgate 2017-18
