Colgate 2020-21

It was a very noice three-point win. Obviously, they don't come easy.
I watched today's pre-game Chalk Talk with coach Don Vaughan, as did the McKechneys, the McAvoys and Jerry Quill amongst others, I believe.
The goal today was to possess the puck and control the center.
Who are Colgate's injured players? It sounds like there are four, and not just for one game each.
For the record, I am hugely supportive of the Colgate Raiders and, especially, our four goalies, although I think that, as a team, we ask too much of each of them.
Also, in this global pandemic, I am frustrated by the fact that we can't get simple info (i.e. - starting times, up-to-date scores, etc.) from our usual sources.
Yes, I thought October was too early, too, for our 2021-22 rivalry games with Cornell. I was just quoting the source from eLynah.
Finally, since we are off for nearly two weeks, I will sign off and we can revert to the Cleveland Browns and Colgate women's ice hockey goss. Carry on.

Except for the period after we went ahead 3-2 (where we, again, played "not to lose") I thought the effort was good...great to see Vachon get three points and rewarded for his play...since we've ended our 6 games against SLU must give credit to their team and new coach...after ALL the BS this historic program has been thought in recent years things are looking up in Canton...and the SLU play-by-play guy is good, almost as good as Mr. McGraw...
 
It's been a crazy season, and a crazy bunch of start times. I'll be glad when we get back to a normal schedule next season. I need to wake up and smell the coffee....or maybe a double expresso.
 
Ethan Haider in goal for Clarkson.
Carter Gylander in goal for Colgate.

Ethan Manderville got out of the penalty box, was behind the defense, and got a breakaway from Josh McKechney... Goal!!
14:43 of the first period.

Colgate 6, Clarkson 5, SOG after one.
Colgate 1, Clarkson 0, score after one.

Can only echo Shabby's prescient words... "Mitton is a banger!"

Colgate 1, Clarkson 0, score after two.

PPG by Josh McKechney at 11:44 of the third period.

Colgate 2, Clarkson 0, final score.

Carter Gylander deserves the Shut-Out and the Win!!

Little too much time in our own end, but overall a good effort...McKechney playing solid hockey at both ends of the ice and Gylander very good...disciplined defensively and took advantage of chances...would be nice to win at home on Saturday and reach .500...
 
GreenCoat... totally agree. Twice, there were carnival-like shooting galleries on Gylander, which should never be allowed to happen. But, he held up.
We were six points out (two full wins) and now we are only three points out (one regulation win).
A very good, and much needed, win.
 
Best game so far for Gylander... and the team overall, I thought. Thanks for the game updates Iowa, I try to watch as many as I can but during this weird schedule your work helps me keep current!
 
Carter Gylander in net for 'Gate today.
Ethan Haider in goal for Clarkson today.

Colgate 12, Clarkson 10, SOG after one.
Colgate 0, Clarkson 0, score after one.

Colgate won the first half of the period, with Clarkson taking the second half.

John McGraw... do you know who painted Carter Gylander's helmet that you mentioned?

Clarkson's Anthony Romano scores a PPG at 5:21 of the second period.

Clarkson 22, Colgate 20, SOG after two (estimate).
Clarkson 1, Colgate 0, score after two.

Colgate kills third period-opening penalty, then Arnaud Vachon scores seconds later at 2:03.

Colgate 27, Clarkson 25, SOG after three (estimate).
Colgate 1, Clarkson 1, score after regulation... we are headed to 3-on-3 OT.

Scoreless OT... we are going to a Shoot-Out (which I personally hate and refuse to watch). Go 'Gate.

overall a well played game...in fact I thought we played at a higher level than Thursday night...puck movement out of our zone was good and Clarkson did not have extended time in our zone...once again, and this has been a problem for many, many years, special teams cost us a win...even strength? we're a pretty good hockey team, deserving of a record akin to 7-5-3 and a top 20 pairwise rating...special teams, especially the PP? 11 per cent on the PP is not only substandard, in a league where 3 goals is a winning number the underperformance kills you...5 for 46 on the PP? If you're 8 for 46 (17.6%) you are challenging Q-Pac for first place...again, a good, crisp game with accurate passing, good zone clears and some good chances...now we've got Q-Pac...
 
I ditto many of the positive comments Green Coat posted. Miracle of miracles...I actually got ESPN+ to work for me, (but lots of buffering). This was my real extended look at a game, and I was impressed by the team's high level of play compared to some of the groups of the past 5-6 years. The passing out of our zone seemed much improved, and we had more awareness of strategy on the part of our players IMO. Great to see the improvement. Hopefully this was not an aberration and we can keep up the aggressive play the rest of this short season. QU is next; will be a good measure of how far the program has progressed.

There was a picture of it on the @ColgateMIH Twitter account. It looks like Sylvie Marsolais was tagged on the photo. According to her Twitter bio, she's a professional airbrush artist based out of Montreal who has done goalie helmets for goalies at all levels of men's and women's hockey.
 
Cuomo just approved having 10% fans in any arena over 10,000 and any other organizations must get state approval. I assume that means smaller venues need a direct approval. So will Colgate jump on that or just sit back and continue to not let fans?

I wondered about this, plus Andy Kerr is just over 10K seating. With spring football coming up, would be great if we could see those games live too...
