Home, safe-n-sound, and still wound up…
Carter Gylander deserves credit as he really had a great game. He never lost his composure after seeing two goals against in 34 seconds at the start of the second period.
Not often that you see Colgate score PPGs, a SHG, and an ENG in the same game. Kudos to Alex Young on the Hat Trick and bro Colton Young on a goal and two assists. Ross Mitton with three assists. And Reid Irwin with two more assists. And Matt Verboon…
The Colgate Pep Band was in the house on Friday and students turned out in big numbers tonight, which was great to see. And they were very vocal, so much so that I couldn’t even hear the p.a. announcer announce the final goal. The Teddy Bear Toss benefitting Toys for Tots was very successful, too.
The ending of the game was crazy, with Alex Young’s ENG delivered at the 20:00 mark. There was confusion over whether there were actually seconds left on the clock and Don Vaughan actually started calling his celebrating players back for a face-off. To his credit, Ted Donato just told the ref to drop the puck and end the game. Vaughan (30th year) and Donato (19th year) shook hands and hugged afterwards.
Harvard is now PWR#15 and Colgate is PWR#39.
”Good teams sweep at home and split on the road.”
Finally, fans near me in Section 9 were confused as to who actually got credit for the win over Harvard, the outgoing AD or the incoming actor.

Congrats to ‘Gate on a great win. First time in a century we’re on the USCHO front page, great to see.
Where did you get that quote from, Iowa…”Good teams sweep at home and split on the road.” Have always said that good teams win at home, but great teams win on the road. Harvard did not play like a great team imho and had a very different game at Lynah the night before. Donato took a gamble against a sub-.500 Colgate team and played his freshman goaltender, who was a disaster. Thought Gylander was his usual self, giving up 4 goals. He rarely has my confidence. We’ve at least earned the series split. If your quote is true, Iowa, it may be a different result in Cambridge. Maybe we’ll finally defeat Cornell this year.

Couldn't be happier the way this team responded after Harvard laid three on us early in the second period...although our skill level is not quite up to theirs (who CAN match that level) we can skate with them and we won a lot of the one-on-one battles...and yes Gylander recovered very well after Harvard's third goal...great to see GOALS, even strength, PPs, SHs...even if the Browns lose today MIH has made my weekend...

As a Harvard fan, the way I saw it, we stopped skating and took stupid penalties which is a recipe for disaster. We thought the game was over at 3-1. Not to make excuses but we've been on the road for the past three weeks including last week's Michigan trip and then Cornell last night. We start exams on Monday, and I think the team just wasn't ready to compete for 60 minutes. They had their minds on the bus trip home. Expect a very different result in Cambridge.

Props to Gylander on his standing up to the shots in the third period. Quite a display of netminding all night with 36 (or 34?) saves. Great to see us take the measure of the Cantabs on home ice, but we need to hammer them again in Cambridge. Hope the team won't be rusty when the Maine Black Bears come calling at the end of the month. (Shabby, your Bruins are unbelieveable this season. My Rangers are in a hole they may not climb out of. "What a difference a season makes," as Doris Day once sang)
We have the leading scorer in the league, Alex Young tied in total points but leading in goals scored. DiPaulo and Mitten tied for fifth, Verboon tied for eighth, and Colton Young twelvth. After years of anemic scoring it's hard to fathom.
Yes Colskate, my B's have four good lines, and great goaltending. Montgomery has given the defensemen more freedom to pinch in and play more offense. It's obviously working. Of course being healthy is key also.

Gee Skate79, I actually thought you'd come on our link and give Colgate a little credit...I guess I was asking too much...

TeacherBill, maybe it is “Good teams win at home and split on the road.” Either way, win or sweep, it is just a phrase that I have always heard around college hockey.
Magoo, you are absolutely right about Reid Irwin. Give credit to the one who recruited him.
Shabby, sour grapes make for a bitter whine, as you pointed out. As for Skate79’s “Expect a very different result in Cambridge” line… heck, when my ticket was scanned last night, I expected a very different result. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how we played up to their level with both speed and skill. I now know that we can do it and I have no reason to believe that we won’t do it again (remember last year’s ‘Gate record of four wins and one loss versus Cornell). And, if we do beat Harvard in Cambridge, I can already hear the excuse that Harvard was looking past Colgate on Friday, January 27, in anticipation of their next night’s game against Cornell. Blah, blah, blah.
Last thought tonight… Colgate tickets are $17 each. ASU was $75 each. Next weekend, I am taking in Penn State at Notre Dame on Friday and Minnesota State (Mankato) at Bowling Green on Saturday. Those tix were $35 and $26 each, respectively. I may complain about our $4 coffee at Class of ‘65 Arena, but, overall, we have it good. And, for comparison, Fort Wayne at Toledo (ECHL) on Sunday was $28. Those prices are just for the tickets and don’t reflect the additional fees.

OK, so we are planning to go back to 'Gate for the first time in years to see a game or two around the New Year.
Thing is, we have both blown-out a meniscus or two playing tennis all summer, and we need railings to descend stairs right now, before our surgeries. (Ain't it grand to get old?)
The Colgate seating chart is great; it seems to show what areas have railings. I'm going to call the box office to verify that, but we have to wonder if those seats are for season ticket holders..?
Any input from regular attendees would be very much appreciated.

BlackBear/Fisherman, I am a season ticket holder in Section 9 and I have leg/foot braces on both legs and I am the world’s biggest advocate for hand-railings… and Section 9 has great ones. Section 9 gets a fair few opposing fans, too. I suspect the rest of the arena has similar hand-railings, but I have never sat elsewhere at the rink. You can also buy into the Sullivan Suite, arrive early and get seats at the window (looking lengthwise down the ice).
