Having followed college hockey in general, and Colgate hockey in particular, since 1980, these 57 words seem to sum up the overall situation pretty succinctly in my opinion, too.

I realized we had alot more balanced scoring this year so looking for positives I did a little research. Scoring has been our Achilles heel since the Spinks left.
2020-21 season followed by 2021-22 season
Mckechney GP 22 Goals 7 A 6 Points 13 GP 16 Goals 7 A 7 Points 14
Alex Young GP 21 Goals 6 A 7 Points 13 GP 15 Goals 4 A 7 Points 11
Matt Verboon GP 22 Goals 4 A 6 Points 10 GP 16 Goals 5 A 9 Points 14
Colton Young GP 21 Goals 1 A 3 Points 4 GP 16 Goals 9 A 8 17 Points
Four points last year now leads team in scoring !
Nick Anderson GP 21 Goals 2 A 6 Points 8 GP 16 Goals 1 A 9 Points 10
Ethan Manderville GP 22 Goals 4 A 2 Points 6 GP 16 Goals 1 A 8 Points 9
Pierson Brandon GP 22 G 0 A 10 Points 10 GP 15 Goals 5 A 3 Points 8 5 Goals by a defenseman and none last year.
Last year we averaged 2.18 Goals per game This year 3.25 Over a goal a game increase
Goals against this year 2.81 last year 3 Goals against
The increase in scoring is also in six LESS games than last years totals. Two years ago our leading scorers were Bobby McMann and Sharf with 20 points in 34 games.
Powerplay is at 19.5% which is respectable. There are improvements being made, just look at the stats.

Shabby, great stats. Thanks.
How about goaltending comparison?

Top of the bottom 8…does that mean #5? Not sure how that’s possible because we often finish the season much lower.

TeacherBill, he didn’t say ‘tippy-top,’ he just said ‘top.’ he he he. If you have eight teams and my math is correct, four are in the ‘top’ and four are in the ‘bottom.’ Don’t we historically finish fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth in ECAC Hockey standings? Asking for a friend.

Thanks again, Shabby.
We truly have made improvements in all three aspects of the game, which is why the Western Michigan free-fall game and the recent Conn game were so frustrating.
But, for a roller-coaster ride to be optimal, I guess you need to go down every once in awhile.

PairWise Rankings (PWR) for Colgate and 2021-22 opponents out of 59 NCAA D-1 MIH programs (as of 12/01/21)...
3-Western Michigan, 8-Quinnipiac,
14-Clarkson,
20-Cornell, 23-Connecticut, 25-Harvard, 27-Merrimack, 27-Arizona State, 29-Northern Michigan,
32-Colgate, 33-RIT, 37-Saint Lawrence, 38-RPI, 44-Union, 48-Princeton, 50-Dartmouth, 54-Vermont, 57-Brown, 59-Yale.
This week's Colgate opponents... Clarkson and Saint Lawrence.
Notes: Only one major mood swing this week, as Harvard fell from 13 to 25, partly on account of a 1-0 loss to New Hampshire. And Yale has still not rebounded.

Shabby,
I take 38/38-B from Owego/Newark Valley to Union Center, then take 26 north through Whitney Point, Pitcher-Otselic-Georgetown, Oriskany Falls, Rome, then further north to Boonville, Lowville, Harrisville, and right on to Ogdensburg (where I pick up 43-year season-ticket-holder Clarkson Doug). We are now eating dinner at Eban’s Hearth, basically across the street from Clarkson in Potsdam.

Good period of hard hockey. Colgate successfully killed two penalties.
Griffin Lunn scored past midway of game. Clarkson repeatedly turned over puck in their own end and hard work put it in.
Clarkson scored late in second period.
Clarkson takes penalty at period end.
Clarkson 30, Colgate 20, SOG after two.

Does anybody know about Colgate’s injured player in the third period. I believe it was Matt Verboon. He blocked a shot, but then couldn’t put any weight on that foot to even skate back to the bench. He scooted on the ice and was eventually pushed to the bench by another Colgate player. I hope it isn’t anything too serious.
Tonight’s game was a good advertisement for college hockey. Good, tough defensive game. It’s just a shame that we are the one flying the ‘L.’ On to Saint Lawrence...

I'm pretty sure he lost the blade on his skate, hence he couldn't skate off on one skate, not sure who it was.
I thought both teams played well, was a tossup !
We hit the crossbar with twenty secs left and skating six on four, so dam close to tying the game.
Trevor Cosgrove had a goal and two assists in Northern Michigan's upset of #1 UMD last night. He's tied for fifth in scoring and having a great season. We go out there for two games in January.
Iowa, Sergi's or Zsa Zsa's for Italian dinner in Canton, then the Hoot Owl for imbibements. Very informal like Eban's Hearth.

From a number of standpoints tonight's game would seem to be very important...obviously a 4-4 ECAC record is tangibly better than 3-5...and a loss would continue the descent after a 5-1 start...I think SLU is honoring Joe Marsh tonight so Appleton should be full...time to step up and win a close game PERIOD...

Carter Gylander led the team out onto the ice for tonight’s pre-game warm-up. (Note to Shabby: a dozen chicken wings were $13 and delicious at the Madrid, N.Y., Hotel).
Saint Lawrence 8, Colgate 5, SOG after one.
Colgate 0, Saint Lawrence 0, score after one.
A much slower-paced game than last night.
Saint Lawrence scored a beautiful goal, rocketing past Gylander.
Scramble in front of Gylander results in SLU’s second goal.
Griffin Lunn from Matt Verboon. Beautiful shot than rocketed by Emil Z.
Alex Young tied it up. Noice.
Arnaud Vachon in box for five. Saints goal three minutes into it on well set-up play.
Saint Lawrence 21, Colgate 19, SOG after two.
Saint Lawrence 3, Colgate 2, score after two.
Two minutes left, SLU scored.
Young scored. Likely too little too late.
But SLU penalty.
Colgate 39, Saint Lawrence 26, final SOG
Saint Lawrence 4, Colgate 3, final score.

the good news is that we all get a one-month reprieve from more suffering...this year's edition has more talent, more depth, etc., but we're still 8-10 (3-5 in ECAC) and we've lost 9 of our last 12..."the more things change the more they stay the same..."
