Re: Colgate 2019-20
Dartmouth 33, Colgate 29, final SOG.
Colgate 5, Dartmouth 1, final score.
Officially a blow-out in my book (4+ goal differential).

Re: Colgate 2019-20
I am beside myself with excitement... nearly two hours after the game.
Something has happened with this team, and I don’t know what it is.
It may just be hard work in practices, getting to know each other better, and/or just a general maturation of all players. Or, it might have been one singular event that turned the ship around. Leadership from the coaching staff? Leadership from the Captain and Alternate? I don’t know. But something has changed... even since the beginning of this season.
The PPG goal that got by Andrew Farrier tonight? I think it went up in the air and come down on his back, and went into the goal. I would love to see a replay.
Bobby McMann’s goal was a thing of beauty.
Arnaud Vachon? One goal and two assists.
Colton Young? One goal and one assist.
I have decided to stay in Hanover tomorrow night and get my first look at Cornell. But, the Colgate-Harvard game should be a good one. Anything can happen.
Go ‘Gate!!
P.S. - It was fun meeting Gate93 tonight. And, in Belfast, the fathers of Trevor Cosgrove and Ben Sharf both made a point to come over to me and introduce themselves, which I appreciate.

Re: Colgate 2019-20
Great to meet Iowa tonight and a very fun game. Missed the first due to weather but we looked dangerous throughout the 2nd and 3rd. That was a legit 5-1 blowout and quite frankly I think it could have easily been worse for the Big Green. Dartmouth looks to be a pretty decent team, but tonight we kept almost everything to the outside in our own end while repeatedly getting in close and dangerous areas in theirs. The equality of the shots doesn’t really tell the story of the game. Our stick check work was on point tonight too. And hey, instead of dump and chase with the lead in the third we got the pedal down treatment complete with clicking stretch passes - Just plain fun!

Separate subject...
It appears that UConn will be visiting Class of ‘65 Arena for one game next season (2020-21).

Re: Colgate 2019-20
Sure is nice to get up in the am and come here to read about a great win from the night before. Haven't felt this good about our team since the Spinks etc, 2015, I believe. We have had a much improved team all season but the last two games have been something special.
McMann has had many breakaways this year, but when he finally scored five hole to give us the lead early in the first, I had a good feeling about the game. On our third goal, Snodgrass had the pass of the year, from the right boards he hit a streaking McAvoy who was crashing the net from the left wing and he made no mistake burying it. In the third Vachon skated around a falling Dartmouth dman and put the jets on to beat the other dman and scored on a beautiful outside in move and then got Clark to open his legs enough to put it five hole, another fantastic goal. Game over !
Everyone is playing well, Cochoran playing his best hockey ever also. Dartmouth is a talented team with one of the best goalies in the ECAC, this was currently a battle for fourth place, could be huge at the end.
Farrier .084 GAA is leading the ECAC but only two games. Where's he been ? They play again tonight like last night and it should be a very good game tonight, we got our split and maybe more.
Side note, watching on ESPN+, I was clicking on the watch button on our schedule page, having a hard time getting the Bruins-Hawks game I called ESPN. They told me to just go to the ESPN app, open it and click on ESPN+ button. Navigate down to Mens College Hockey, all the ECAC games and more are right there, and a beautiful HD picture. Hoping to help someone without hours of problems like I had.

Re: Colgate 2019-20
You guys were exceptional last night: best Colgate team I have seen in the last few years. Really dominant in the 2nd and 3rd: I thought I was watching Cornell or Clarkson the way they dominated the Big Green. Dartmouth has been a .500 team but in the past few years they have rarely been demolished by non-Cornell ECAC opposition the way Colgate did to them last night.
Good to have a competitive and dare I say enjoyable-to-watch Colgate team back again. I'll be interested to see how it goes for you at Harvard tonight. Wouldn't shock me if the 3-4 point weekend I'd really hoped for (and thought possible based on our play before our break) ends up a reality for Colgate.

There has been a lot of frustration for Vaughn and crew which has been shown on this board and rightfully so. That being said this team and players are working for wins and it is showing, please cheer them on the the rest of the season. We are looking like a top 5 ECAC team. Go IowaBT for his commitment and everyone else for supporting this team and go Raiders. Could be a very fun season for all of us if we make Placid.
Re: Colgate 2019-20
Holy Cow!!!! This team is for real!!!! What a huge road weekend for them, heading into break. Farrier is SO solid in net! Any line can make a difference. This team is going to be fun to watch going forward. I couldn't be happier for the coaching staff and certainly for the team. Great games! Thanks for providing this fan with something to cheer about. AND, big congratulations to Dartmouth for giving Cornell their first loss! GO 'GATE!!!!

Re: Colgate 2019-20
I don’t know what to say.
I elected to stay in Hanover and watched an incredible college hockey game, with Dartmouth taking down previously undefeated PWR #1 Cornell, 2-1 (and with my friend Cam Strong assisting on the winning goal). Seeing the Big Red team, fans and band slink out of an arena always warms my heart.
But, all night I was on the College Hockey News app, keeping track of Colgate competing with Harvard. 2-2, then 3-2, then 3-3. Oh, my!
But then the CHN app reverts to 0-0 for Colgate-Harvard. WTH? Finally, in the Dartmouth club room, word gets out... Colgate defeated Harvard, 4-3, in OT.
Holy cow!! While I am surprised, I am not shocked. Something has changed. The pieces were there, but they’ve truly fallen into place. Not only can we compete with the best, but now we know that we can beat ‘em. You can’t buy that kind of self-confidence, that kind of winning attitude, that kind of momentum. Congratulations to the entire team and the entire program... and GO ‘GATE!!

Great to take down Dartmouth and Harvard in their own barns. I love it. Let's keep it rolling....

Re: Colgate 2019-20
what a great weekend...I echo the comments above after witnessing in person the dismantling of a decenet Dartmouth team, 5-1...sorry I missed IBT (should've told him I'd be at the game)...speed, skill all better...active sticks and good defensive coverage...after watching us at Thompson not surprised we'd compete (and compete well) at Cambridge...all freshman contributing but Vachon, Young and Watson-Braun are especially notable adds...McMann all over the ice as well...great way to go into break, watching this team coming together...there's really never been a question of DV's coaching ability - it's been in the recruiting area where we've been challenged - but this class looks solid and, if what I'm hearing is correct, the next two years' classes are solid...TheCoat doesn't want to get overly optimistic, but things are looking up in Hamilton...now let's have the students turn out as well and make home ice a real advantage...
