Re: Colgate 2019-20
Back in Owego and still wound up.
What a solid effort by the team tonight.
I think Clarkson probably looked past us towards the Big Game at Lynah tomorrow, which is totally understandable. And we took advantage of it by playing them close the entire game, even outplaying them at times. I thought we were more lucky than good in the first, but our second and third periods were outstanding. We haven’t been that aggressive and physical in a long time, in my opinion.
I continue to love Clarkson (drove up there last Saturday to see their Dartmouth game), and how well they travel. Very vocal with their Let’s Go Tech chant, which is great atmosphere for a college hockey game. Having said that, in my three years of being back East, I don’t ever remember their fans (as a whole) as whiny as they were tonight. I sincerely hope that they aren’t trying to out-do Cornell fans (and coaches) in that regard now, where every loss or tie is because the officials are against them and the moons aren’t aligned properly. Sheesh!
Oh, yeah, two years ago, we beat RPI in three games at home in the first round, only to travel to Clarkson for the second round and lose in another three games. Colton Point’s farewell games.
P.P.S - Mitch Benson played another terrific game, as he has in the past. I feel really good about our two well-tested goalies, Mitch Benson and Andrew Farrier.
