Carter Gylander did play well this weekend. It’s not that we improved drastically overnight. It’s that Saint Lawrence simply doesn’t have the size, speed, strength nor skill of Clarkson.
Dagnabbit I picked us to beat Clarkson and lose to SLU in my pick 'em contest. This based on our history playing in Canton and Potsdam.
However, not counting the pandemic-altered 2020-21 season, in years where we DO win at Appleton, it has resulted in notable success later on in the season. Hope this bodes well for 2022-23, as we're currently a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
And we got the North Country trip out of the way early this year!

Will note two things...Clarkson took care of Cornell pretty easily and SLU is dealing with a lot of injuries...and, yes, it looks like Gylander has been consistently good this year...finally, Magoo is spot on...time to get six points this weekend over both Brown and Yale...no excuses...

Agreed. No excuses.
Did I miss any news on Arnaud Vachon?

Shabby, I don’t know. I didn’t see him on the ice in the North Country. I just wondered if I had missed something about him by not seeing the Quinnipiac and Princeton games.

Carter Gylander led the team onto the ice for tonight’s pre-game warm-up.
Mathieu Caron did the same for Brown.
Arnaud Vachon is on the ice tonight.
Great charge on net resulted in a Matt Verboon goal from Nic Belpedio and Alex DiPaolo.
Colgate 12, Brown 8, SOG after one.
Colgate 1, Brown 0, score after one.
We had more chances and better chances.
And a rare first goal.
Two concurrent ‘Gate penalties and Brown scored.
Brown with an unassisted goal late in the second. If you back up the tape, you’ll find that ‘Gate gave up the puck in our own end which ultimately resulted in that goal.
Colgate 32, Brown 15, SOG rafter two.
Brown 2, Colgate 1, score after two.
Crazy game. There have been three or four times that Colgate has had apparently easy opportunities to score from up close… and hasn’t. The Brown goalie has played exceptional.
Opened the third with 90 seconds of Power Play. Minutes later they took another penalty. Brown successfully killed both. 38-15 SOG.
Ben Raymond with a much needed goal halfway through the third.
Arnaud Vachon with five-minute penalty and game misconduct with five minutes left in 2-2 game. SOG are 43-15 Colgate.
Killed the major penalty. Headed to 3-on-3 OT.
Colgate 43, Brown 18, SOG after three.
Colgate 2, Brown 2, score after three.
Colton Young unassisted in OT!!
Colgate 44, Brown 22, final SOG.
Colgate 3, Brown 2, final score.

90-minutes later, through falling snow and just one deer-sighting…
The OT goal, which just trickled over the line, was much-needed. We were clearly the better team, but we ran into a hot goalie by the name of Mathieu Caron.
Interestingly, afterwards, Alberta’s Carter Gylander skated the length of the ice to console British Columbia’s Mathieu Caron, who stood on his head at times in facing 44 shots and letting in just three.
Colgate is now sixth of 12 in ECAC Hockey, tied with Princeton and RPI with 7 points (but having a game-in-hand on each). And we are just two points shy of Clarkson, Cornell and Union (with a game-in-hand on Union).
Separate Subject… Colton Point is now with the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Komets of the ECHL, which is an affiliate of the Edmonton (Alta.) Oilers. He has yet to play an NHL game. Mitch Benson is a graduate transfer with Boston College and his record is 4-4-2.

Carter Gylander led the team onto the ice for tonight’s pre-game warmup.
Nathan Reid did the same for Yale.
Nic Belpedio from Matt Verboon at 27 seconds into the first.
PPG by Colgate’s Ethan Manderville from Colton Young.
Yale had Power Play and never put a shot on net. 6-1 SOG after 14 minutes.
Shortly thereafter, Yale with another Power Play. Again, zero SOG during it. 9-1 SOG with three minutes left.
Colgate pinged one off the pipe.
Colgate 9, Yale 1, SOG after one.
Colgate 2, Yale 0, score after one.
Alex DiPaolo scored 32 seconds into the second. Wicked shot. Assist to Ross Mitton.
Alex Young scored from Arnaud Vachon as Yale defenseman and goalie miscommunicated in front of net.
Levi Glasman from Arnaud Vachon. Yale goalie not having a great night. 15-4 SOG. 5-0 score.
Last night, Cornell 5-0 after two. 5-2 final score.
Power Play goal by Matt Verboon (from Alex Young and Nick Anderson).
Arnaud Vachon penalty with one minute left in second period.
Colgate 17, Yale 4, SOG after two.
Colgate 6, Yale 0, score after two.
Connor Hopkins now in goal for Yale (for third period).
Alex DiPaolo from Ross Mitton midway through the third period. Great drive on net by DiPaolo.
PPG for Nic Belpedio from Simon LaBelle. That Power Play was impressive.
Stick laying on ice crosswise in front of Gylander with less than three minutes to play. Yale shot hits it, rises and goes into the net. Colgate challenges the play as offsides. Denied. Goal stands. Shutout lost.
Colgate 30, Yale 16, final SOG.
Colgate 8, Yale 1, final score.
It is going to be a long season for Yale, am afraid.

Back home, safe-n-sound... While I am not ready to crown the Colgate Raiders the Kings of ECAC Hockey after wins against PWR#59 Brown and PWR#61 Yale (out of 62 NCAA D-1 programs), this weekend was just what the doctor had ordered for the PWR#45 Raiders ... a sweep at home, a Friday night win, first goals in both games, firepower (3 plus 8), and a near-shutout tonight. We are now 4th of 12 in ECAC Hockey with 10 points, though Clarkson has two games-in-hand on us with 9 points. Overall, we are 6-7-1 with two non-conference games at PWR#29 Niagara next up on the docket. Go 'Gate!

Albeit against a bad Yale team, they played well last night...aggressive, skated well, made good decisions, and kept the pedal to the medal for 3 periods...Friday's night win - a game they deserved to win, but could've lost - may be the tonic this team needed...

Maybe DV discovered some things about his players/team this weekend that will stand them in good stead going forward? While I feel somewhat sorry for the Eli players I have no sorrow for the Yale program. They have stuck it to us many times over the years when we were down.....there is no pity here.

First and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving to all the Colgate Raiders men's ice hockey fans on here. As George Bernard Shaw once wrote, "Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute."
Finally, as we head into the holiday weekend, here are the PairWise Rankings (PWR) for ECAC Hockey schools (amongst the 62 NCAA programs)...
College Hockey News (CHN):
6-Quinnipiac, 8-Harvard,
28-Cornell, 34-Clarkson, 36-Union, 40-Saint Lawrence, 41-RPI, 45-Colgate, 53-Princeton, 59-Brown, 60-Dartmouth, 61-Yale.
United States College Hockey Organization (USCHO):
7-Quinnipiac, 8-Harvard,
27-Cornell, 34-Clarkson, 35-Union, 40-Saint Lawrence, 43-RPI, 45-Colgate, 53-Princeton, 59-Brown, 60-Dartmouth, 61-Yale.
By the way, this weekend's 'Gate opponent/host, Niagara University, is PWR #29 (USCHO) or PWR #31 (CHN). Either way, the Atlantic Hockey program is ranked higher than Colgate. Last night, I went to Lynah Rink and saw Cornell narrowly defeat Atlantic Hockey's Sacred Heart, 2-1.

By 3:30 today we should have a 4-0 lead on England in the World Cup, so you WC fans won't miss much of the 'Gate-Niagara game.....heh-heh..
