Shabby, am leaving home at 3:40 p.m. I hope to see you there.
I believe Dr. Nicki Moore is a sharp cookie and she already knows our record against the others during her reign and she went where she is needed most.
 
Since all have been pining since late this morning here are MIH's records against three of our opponents since the 2018-19 season...games included consist of both ECAC games and o-o-c contests...Harvard: 1-4-1 .250 13GF/24GA; Clarkson: 2-9-3 .250 21GF/35GA; Quinnipiac: 3-10-1 .250 19GF/54GA...Total: 6-23-5 .250 53GF/113GA...amazing in that our winning percentage against all three teams is 25%...also, we have scored over 2 goals ONCE in 14 games against the Golden Knights; in 14 games against the Bobcats we have been shut out SIX times...and finally, these results do not include this year: a 3-2 loss to Q-Pac and a 4-0 shutout loss to Clarkson...is Dr. Moore substantially responsible for this dismal record? Of course not...a discussion re: her impact on our athletic programs during her short (4 1/2 years) is a much more complex challenge...
 
Colgate was led on the ice for tonight’s pre-game warm-up by Carter Gylander. I believe Cooper Black did the same for Dartmouth.

Colgate’s second shot on net was their first goal (by Alex DiPaolo from Ross Mitton and Reid Irwin).

PP goal by Colgate’s Alex Young (from Colton Young and Reid Irwin). 5-0 SOG.

PP goal by Colgate’s Simon LaBelle (from Ross Mitton and Reid Irwin). 7-0 SOG.

Colgate 9, Dartmouth 1, SOG after one.
Colgate 3, Dartmouth 0, score after one.

Dartmouth score by John Fusco, formerly of Harvard.
Colton Young taken down by Dartmouth player. Play under review. Five-minute major and game misconduct. Dartmouth successfully killed the major penalty.

Matt Verboon from Ryan Anderson and Alex DiPaolo with less than two minutes to go saved that period for Colgate.

Colgate 18, Dartmouth 5, SOG after two.
Colgate 4, Dartmouth 1, score after two.

Reid Irwin is having his best game by far. Not just three assists on three goals in the first period, but a really solid game (even with two penalties).

Dartmouth pulled goalie on PP with six minutes left.
Seabass missed an empty net, but Daniel Panetta didn’t… ENG from Alex Young.

Colgate 23, Dartmouth 17, final SOG.
Colgate 5, Dartmouth 1, final score.

Is it me or is the ESPN+ announcer who is doing the game tonight and does all the women's games almost impossible to hear? I've noticed this for a while. He's too busy working on his post SU Marv Albert impression to move closer to the mike and speak so we can hear. Hope he reads this and makes some changes...
 
Random thoughts from home in Owego, N.Y…

Who is the ESPN+ announcer at Colgate home MIH games? Is it not John McGraw?

I fully understand that Dartmouth was ranked 59th of 62 NCAA D-1 MIH programs to start tonight, but we needed to win that confidence-booster. And we did. And it was a blow-out (4-goal differential or more).

Oh, BTW, PWR had it right tonight, #46 Colgate over #59 Dartmouth. After tonight? #45 and #60, respectively.

Finally, let me just relish the moment… tonight, Michigan lost. Then North Dakota lost. And, finally, Cornell lost (to Harvard, at home). On the same night that Colgate won. And Omaha won. For me, personally, that is a Win-Win-Win-Win-Win.
 
Rewatched the goals from the Cornell/Harvard game…what an atmosphere at Lynah. Can’t ever imagine having that good a team every year with that fan support. Glad the Crimson could play spoiler!
 
I thought our PP was very good last night, great puck movement, crisp passing. At 3-0 I started switching back and forth all the ECAC games, very surprised that Princeton hammered Clarkson. Harvard looked very good last night, Cornell same ole same ole, huge plodding forwards, try to outmuscle you. Very tough game tonight against #9 Harvard.
 
Nice to see a Friday night where they came out with energy and intensity...it paid off early...yes, a big test tonight against a Harvard team loaded with NHL draft picks...note that Princeton and Ron Fogarty dropped a dime on Clarkson last night...Old Nassau continues to improve...good for Ron, good for the ECAC...GO GATE
 
Frankly Red it seems the Ivy League is intent on having eight female ADs...many, including yours truly, think she was a lot of form, scant substance...MIH and football needed strong, decisive input...I don't think we got very much...as Cornell is my favorite Ivy I wish you luck...you may need it...


Well, one of the big criticisms against the previous AD is specifically around football's poor performance much of the past decade and how he let the current coach keep his job despite that. Women's sports, with a few notable exceptions (i.e. hockey), have also long had poor performance under his tenure, which hopefully this new AD can improve. I don't see MIH, wrestling, and lacrosse, which are successful sports with great coaching and alumni support, being adversely affected too much, barring a string of very poor decisions.

For what it's worth, she introduced herself during the 1st intermission at Lynah last night, well before the theatrics of Harvard and the crowd at the end of the game
 
Don't look now but, we're tied for third with Cornell (until tonight)with a better record. Hard to believe but we have four scorers in the top ten in ECAC hockey !

Cornell doesn't want to get into a skating game with us because they know we'll run them out of the barn. So, they turn the game into a tractor pull. Schaefer plays not to lose against us.

BTW, I caught part of your game last night against Dartmouth. Manderville is a stud. How did Cornell not land him given the legacy of his dad?
 
John Mcgraw is great but sadly he was not doing the game last night. Women win at Ingalls, hope the luck rubs off...
 
Carter Gylander led the team onto the ice tonight for the pre-game warm-up. Aku Koskenvuo did the same for Harvard.

Matt Verboon put ‘Gate on the board early (from Reid Irwin and Anthony Stark).
Harvard pinged one off the pipe shortly afterwards. Colgate did the same soon after.

Halfway through the first period, this is already the best hockey that I have seen this season. Harvard is just so fast, it is forcing Colgate to up its game.

Colgate 12, Harvard 9, SOG after one.
Colgate 1, Harvard 0, score after one.

Holy cow!! That was a great advertisement for college hockey. Harvard clearly deserves its PWR#9.

Colgate opened the period on a Power Play. As it expired, Harvard’s Ferrell scored. A minute later, Harvard scored again.
And they scored again midway through the period as Carter was screened.

Alex Young with a PPG from Colton Young and Matt Verboon.
Alex Young with another PPG tied it up (from Colton Young and Nick Anderson).

Colgate 23, Harvard 22, SOG after two.
Colgate 3, Harvard 3, score after two.

Win or lose, this has been a great game for Colgate. Another reason that I would like to see ‘Gate schedule recent NCAA Tournament teams as future non-conference opponents. Better teams motivate us to play better.

Colgate’s Alex DiPaolo (from Ross Mitton) scored in the first minute of the third… at even-strength.

Colgate’s Colton Young scored a SHG (from Ross Mitton and Reid Irwin), which is being challenged by Harvard (goalie interference).
It is good!!

Harvard responded with their own PPG, which is being challenged by Colgate. And it is good.

Ten minutes left. 30-30 SOG. Colgate 5-4. Just a great game!! Hopefully we keep our foot on the gas.

ENG by Alex Young as time ran out. Hat Trick!!

Harvard 39, Colgate 34, final SOG.
Colgate 6, Harvard 4, final score.
