Colgate 2022-23

Too many variables for me, Colgate is 6-3 in their last nine, if they play like they did against Harvard I think a sweep is possible. How rusty will they be after not playing for a month ?
 
Carter Gylander led the team on the ice for tonight’s pre-game warmup. Jacob Mucitelli is in goal for Maine.

5-minute major to Colton Young. Maine scored once (by Nolan Renwick).
As soon as penalty ended, Alex Young scored a beautiful goal (from Alex DiPaolo).

Alex Young with his second of the game on a PP.

Colgate 10, Maine 6, SOG after one.
Colgate 2, Maine 1, score after one.

Maine’s Brandon Holt scored their second with a beautiful shot. Carter Gylander has been visibly upset with himself on both Maine goals tonight.

Colgate’s Sebastian Tamburro scored our third goal, another beauty from Simon LaBelle and Tommy Bergsland.

Colgate’s fourth goal scored by Ross Mitton (from Alex DiPaolo and Arnaud Vachon).

Arnaud Vachon with a PP goal. SOG are 15-13 and score is 5-2 with three minutes to go in second.

Oldtimer, if that is the student end, they are on break. Hamilton is a ghost town this weekend. Fairly good representation by Black Bear fans tonight.

Colgate 15, Maine 13, SOG after two.
Colgate 5, Maine 2, score after two.

Connor Androlewicz now in goal for Maine.
Early in the third… a) we are starting to take our foot off the gas, and b) it is getting chippy.

We just had a Power Play and didn’t put one shot on net. And another one!! Crazy!! And another PP with a shot or two on net.

Tomorrow’s game is a 4 p.m. start.

Maine 20, Colgate 19, final SOG.
Colgate 5, Maine 2, final score.

So what's up at the South end of the stands, are they making repairs or changes?

If you mean the student section/standing room, it's generally empty whether the kids are on campus or not. They have a ticket deal going on right now that brought the locals out... I'll be interested to see the attendance #'s. Definitely felt more crowded as you moved around the concourse. And a nice win, I'll take it!
 
Just got home after successfully avoiding two deer and an Amish buggy out on the roads after dark…

Magoo, I can’t argue with you this time… why not indeed?!

Tonight’s win was easier to come by than I ever thought possible, especially after Colton Young’s uncharacteristic game misconduct early on. Thankfully bro Alex really stepped up (two goals), as did Matt Verboon with three assists.

I don’t keep track of penalties, but I don’t recall any opponent getting into more penalty trouble this season than Maine tonight. But even if you subtract out all the PPGs tonight, it was still a 3-1 game.

It was great seeing some friends tonight at the game, including two that I haven’t seen all season. Even made a new friend tonight who is into sprint car racing as much as I am.

Final thought… remember back on February 19, Senior Night, when Will Friend started the all-important game after never having previously played for Colgate (as back-up goalie)? Well, ‘the Professor’ told me tonight that it was Will’s fellow student-athletes that asked Don Vaughan to give Will Friend the start (and our coach agreed). That’s a pretty kewl backstory. Thanks!

P.S. - Apparently Maine’s number one goalie, Victor Ostman of Sweden, was ill tonight, which allowed Clarkson transfer Jacob Mucitelli to get the start against ‘Gate. According to hockeydb, Jacob was 8-0-1 last season at Clarkson, with three shutouts.

P.P.S. - Funny… I am so hung up on PWR that I just looked at the updated numbers going into Saturday afternoon’s game… Colgate PWR#41, Maine PWR#41. Too much fun!
 
Last night's game was fun to watch. Passing was very good, actually some plays I was shocked after three or four crisp passes had me saying "Is this really Colgate"? Thought Gylander made some key stops also.

I missed the major on Young, will he be able to play tonight ? Sure would be nice to sweep !

Magoo...why not ?

LOL, just put the game on ESPN+ replay this am.

Iowa, did you see the major to Young ? I watched the replay three times and the camera didn't catch it.
 
Shabby, no, I didn’t either. The guy I sat next to last night, from Manlius, wondered why they were doing a video review of an offsides and I said, ‘I think they are deciding a penalty, 2 or 5 minutes.’ Obviously he didn’t see it either. However, when it was given and announced, there was no screaming from Don Vaughan, as he had done even earlier on a disagreement with the officials.

The wall behind the glass right behind goalie is covered up, I noticed it a few games ago ?

I will walk down there this afternoon and check it out.
I asked two staff people who knew nothing about any renovation and then looked at the wall myself. I don’t honestly know what it looked like previously, but it looks normal to me.

Carter Gylander led Colgate out onto the ice for this afternoon’s pre-game warmup. Connor Androlewicz is in goal for Maine. He played last night’s third period.

First five minutes has just been up-and-back hockey. Neither team with a real advantage.
First PP opportunity for ‘Gate. Maine killed it.

These boys are gonna be tired. Maine is being very aggressive (and their goalie has made some outstanding saves).

Colgate penalty. Colgate killed it.
Second Maine penalty. They killed it.

Colgate 12, Maine 8, SOG after one.
Colgate 0, Maine 0, score after one.

Another very good period of hard-nosed college hockey.

Third Maine penalty. And ‘Gate takes second penalty. Maine’s Didrik Henbrant scored while both were in the box.

Arnaud Vachon helped off the ice after collision with Maine player and boards.

Ross Mitton takes a penalty. Video review for 2 or 5 minutes. Officially two minutes for elbowing. Twice Colgate had short-handed breakaways and shut down both times. But Maine takes slashing penalty.

Colgate had three golden opportunities and failed to finish each of them. Then Alex Young blisters one past their goalie (from Colton Young and Nick Anderson).

Don Vaughan not happy with the officials. Icing called against Colgate with one minute left in the second period. Colgate time-out.

Maine 16, Colgate 15, SOG after two.
Colgate 2, Maine 1, score after two.

Like the Harvard game, no matter who wins this one, it has been an excellent hockey game.

Another Maine penalty. Maine killled it.

Maine 25, Colgate 18, SOG after regulation.
Colgate 1. Maine 1, score after regulation.

We are going to 3-on-3 OT.

Maine’s Luke Antonacci scored. Colgate challenging for goalie interference. No goal.

Maine 28, Colgate 18, SOG.
Colgate 1, Maine 1, score.

Penalty shots coming. I am outta here.

Shabby, like the NCAA, quirky IBT doesn’t recognize shootouts (so I leave the building before they start). But, just got home from 90-minute, not-fun foggy drive southbound and saw that Colgate won the shootout, 3-1.

While the Black Bears were well-repped by their fans both nights in Hamilton, I found them to be only slightly less whiny than Big Red Bear fans. Tonight they whined about the OT goalie interference decision (umm… for the refs to overturn an on-ice goal call, the interference was blatant). And they kept referring to the Swede as their ‘starting goalie.’ Umm… he isn’t their starting goalie as he never started a game in Hamilton. Androlewicz is their (most recent) starting goalie and Mucitelli is their next (most recent) starting goalie. Now, I will grant you that Ostman may be their fave goalie. he he he. I hope we do venture northeast next year for a pair of non-conference contests in Orono (or Orono and Portland). If so, I will be there.

But, bottom line is that tonight’s game was a really good one. Both goalies made exceptional saves, although neither faced a ton of quality shots due to their team’s defenses, respectively, doing a great job. The Young brothers are just fun to watch. We are lucky to have them, I think.

Isn’t it pointless to have shootouts in non conference games? Unless it has some bearing on the pairwise maybe? The game gets recorded as a tie.
 
Magoo, I think it is pointless to have shootouts anytime. Hockey is a team sport, not a one-on-one skills competition. I know I am old-fashioned, but when the organist in the corner stops playing after overtime, the game is over… even if it means kissing your sister (well, there is my Arkansas heritage rearing it’s ugly head again).
 
Who won the shootout ?

Colgate won the shootout, 3-1. But how do you win a shootout by 2 goals? I’m guessing there was perhaps a 3-round minimum and Colgate scored on all of their attempts?

In my opinion, yes, it is pointless to have shootouts in non-conference games. Yesterday’s game is considered a tie for Pairwise purposes.

I watched Friday’s game on ESPN+ and was really impressed with what I saw. It was my first time watching this season’s team. We have definitely built momentum from the Harvard win. Happy New Year!
 
I’m with you on shootouts Iowa. They should just keep playing 3 on 3 - someone will eventually score and it shouldn’t take all night.

Correct.

Guessing it was a minimum of three rounds. Colgate shot first and after two rounds it was Colgate 2-1. Colgate scores third round making it 3-1, hence Maine couldn't catch up, over 3-1.
