Was the Clarkson pep band in attendance? They always make a lot of noise. (More computer problems so didn't see the game) Our pep band always had a difficult time keeping them at bay. BTW, nice article - and comprehensive - on Coach Vaughan on the CHN website.

Re: Colgate 2019-20
So it looks like if Colgate wins tonight and Dartmouth losses to RPI we can move up to 7th and get Union next week and then possibly @ Quinniipiac. We can’t jump Yale because of the second tiebreaker of total wins in conference play. That is much more favorable than at Cornell or Clarkson

Mitch Benson led the team on the ice again tonight for the pre-game warm-up.

Re: Colgate 2019-20
I think if we get Union next week, and all lower seeds lose, we would face Clarkson, not Q-Pac in the next round...RPI beating Harvard last night (and RPI playing Dartmouth tonight, where the outcome is essentially bad no matter who wins) sealed our fate...I guess I'd rather play Union, but who knows? Win tonight and score some **** goals...

Saint Lawrence 12, Colgate 5, SOG after one.
Colgate 1, Saint Lawrence 1, score after one.
We are playing whack-a-mole with the 59th ranked team in the nation.

Saint Lawrence 20, Colgate 17, SOG after two.

Still playing whack-a-mole and not even sure we’re going to win a prize when it’s over.
A couple of weeks ago, I said “a bad college hockey game is still better than...”
I am beginning to rethink that line. This is painful to watch.

Re: Colgate 2019-20
a disappointing end to another disappointing regular season...frankly, I feel like IBT and didn't even watch the overtime...after FOURTEEN years of pure mediocrity it gets tiresome, real tiresome...

Re: Colgate 2019-20
Back in Owego and still wound up after tonight’s game (but not in a good way)...
Random thoughts on tonight’s tie...
Last night, we didn’t lose against a Top Ten team in the entire country (according to PWR).
Tonight, we didn’t beat a team that isn’t even in the Top Ten in our league (according to ECAC).
Same players, same skill set. Same coaches, same skill set. It doesn’t even make sense, seem logical, nor seem possible.
Plus, tonight was the culmination of our regular season; the end result of all the drills, all the practices, all the games. And it was Senior Night; the night for all of our Seniors to shine. With many parents of Seniors in attendance. And we couldn’t beat PWR #59 of 60.
Last night’s tie “seemed like a win.” We came from behind (against a superior opponent) and scored the game-tying goal.
Tonight’s tie “seemed like a loss.” We were ahead (against an inferior opponent) and gave up the game-tying goal.
Of our 5 ties this season, a league high (tied with Harvard), how many “seemed like a win?” How many “seemed like a loss?”
Princeton seemed like a loss at home.
Harvard seemed like a loss at home.
Dartmouth seemed like a win at home.
Clarkson seemed like a win at home.
Saint Lawrence seemed like a loss at home.
Of course, we also tied at UMass Lowell, Miami at home, and at Providence in non-conference play.
And, finally, we finished the ECAC regular season at 8-9-5 and 21 points, good for 8th place. With just five more timely goals, we could have finished at 13-9-0 and 26 points, but that would still only have been good for 5th place in the adjusted standings (no first round bye).

Re: Colgate 2019-20
What I look for are the reflective, insightful, inspiring comments by Coach Vaughan after each game...but I couldn't find any.
At this point in the season last year...
2019-2020 - 8-9-5 / 10-16-8...(10 wins in 34 games)...add 2 W/L vs. Brown.
2018-2019 - 7-12-3 / 10-21-3...(10 wins in 34 games)...add 2 more playoff losses @Union, 4-1 & 4-0
There is no trajectory. We have officially flatlined. Enough excuses and optimism already, call it for what it is: a Coach who should hang up his skates and an administration not willing to face reality or criticism.

Re: Colgate 2019-20
What gets me is it was Senior Night. I feel %#@%$ for those guys who gave it their all over four years. They deserved a better last home regular season game....in front of their families.
Uh....it's on to the playoffs.
P.S. - There is no pain like seeing Cornell whip Clarkson and win the regular season ECAC title :-(

Last season, in our final regular season game, we played the last place team and lost, falling from 9th to 10th in the standings.
Last night, in our final regular season game, we played the last place team and couldn't muster a win. We could have jumped up to 6th place but instead we're 8th.
Anything can happen in the playoffs, but we're 1-6-2 in our last 9 games and went 3-6-6 at home all season. It's a "same old, same old" feeling now.

Re: Colgate 2019-20
congrats to RPI and Dave Smith for a great end to a good season...REAL progress since he took over a moribund program less than three years ago...here's a run down (2020 is year-to-date) of MIH's winning percentages since the 2015-16 season: .324, .324, .500, 319, .412...enough said...
