Condolences as well from TheCoat...collectively this thread goes back a long way and it's tough when people you've known (and perhaps not even officially met) go to a better place...re: the game, as usual spot on comments by IBT...thought we played well enough to win, especially with a strong third period...three posts don't help...continue to like our mobile "D" being more opportunistic on joining the play...Mitton as usual a beast and even though he sometimes tries to do too much, he'll play at the next level (certainly AHL, maybe higher)...this is a fun team to watch but will need to win the one-goal games as the season progresses...only Q-Pac and especially Cornell look dominate this year...3rd and 4th place seem to be up for grabs IMO...
 
Carter Gylander led the team onto the ice tonight for the pre-game warm-up.
I expect Cooper Black to be in Dartmouth’s goal tonight.
I hope I am wrong, but I don’t see Alex D. on the ice tonight. He was hurting’ last night on the bench.
he he he… I just noticed that Dartmouth players take the ice in numerical order.

Colgate penalty… the much-hated Too Many Men on the Ice. Killed.

Beautifully set-up goal by Dartmouth’s Cooper Flinton. Dartmouth is much-improved from the ECAC cellar-dweller of recent times.

Dartmouth penalty. Killed.

Having offense-minded defensemen means that they are occasionally going to get caught up-ice. It happened once this first period, but Carter did his job.

Colgate penalty to be split between periods.
Carter’s kick-saves are something to behold.

Dartmouth 12, Colgate 11, SOG after one.
Dartmouth 1, Colgate 0, score after one.

Colgate penalty killed.
Penalty shot awarded to Ben Raymond. Unsuccessful.

Colgate penalty. Short-handed goal for Colgate’s Ryan McGuire. Unassisted.
Dartmouth penalty halfway through Colgate’s.
Both penalties killed.

Dartmouth penalty. Short-handed goal for Dartmouth. And Colgate penalty. Video review.. No goal. Still 1-1.
Another Colgate penalty.
Dartmouth PPG with 48 seconds left in period.

Colgate 26, Dartmouth 21, SOG after two.
Dartmouth 2, Colgate 1, score after two.

Beautiful shot and goal by Jake Schneider in the first minute of the third period.

Dartmouth penalty. Killed.

Headed to 3-on-3 OT.
Colgate 35, Dartmouth 30, SOG after regulation.
Colgate 2, Dartmouth 2, score after regulation.

Dartmouth scored. 3-2. 1:22 left in OT.
Colgate 36, Dartmouth 33, SOG.
Colgate challenge for offsides. Video review.
good goal.

The Big Green have improved. Kissing your sister and a loss to Dartmouth is not how I had this weekend figured.
 
Well, the Wildlife Safari that is NYS Route 26 South is over with the eye count being one buck, one doe, one raccoon and two fox.

As for Dartmouth at Colgate, I thought it was a good college hockey game, although there were too many penalties for my liking. They weren't chippy nor mean-spirited penalties, but just enough tripping/interference/etc. calls to break up the flow of the game. Having said that, one doesn't often see a penalty shot (unsuccessful, by Colgate) and two short-handed goals (one successful, by Colgate, and one unsuccessful after video-review, by Dartmouth) in one game.

It is good for ECAC Hockey to see teams like Dartmouth upping their game ("a rising tide lifts all ships"). And you have to believe that young'uns like Reid Cashman and Mike Harder are the future of our conference.

Three Minnesotans (from Edina, Plymouth and Wayzata) were on the ice for Colgate at tonight's puck-drop, which was pretty kewl. And after the game, I couldn't figure out why Colgate's Andrew Takacs and Dartmouth's Eric Charpentier posed together on-ice for a fan photo. The common thread(s)? Both are from Maryland and both played for the New Jersey Jr. Titans.

What a wonderful tribute (and moment of silence) tonight for Robert "Bob" McGaugh, just before the national anthem. I was particularly impressed by how all players, both Colgate and Dartmouth, were attentive during the tribute over the p.a. system, and then all gave stick-taps afterwards. Very classy.

All the usual suspects from last night were in the house tonight, including Pierre, and all seemed very happy with the day's athletic successes by 'Gate teams. I even met another complimentary lurker from this thread on my way out of the arena. Thanks! Tomorrow I am driving to Iowa to spend the week doing motorsports research and visiting with friends from 28 years there, so I will miss Colgate at Princeton and Quinnipiac games next weekend. Instead, I will be catching CCHA college hockey games at Michigan Tech and Lake Superior State on Friday and Saturday nights, respectively. Those should be arenas number 137 and 138 at which I have seen hockey games (lifetime). Good-luck (and good-skill) to the Raiders next weekend... and Go 'Gate!!

All 4 teams this weekend played each other well, but in the end, all we got was a tie at home. Big Green goalie is 6’8”. Imo we did not play either OT period well and were much too careless with the puck. The positive for me was outshooting our opponents, which obviously doesn’t guarantee a win but keeps you in the game. Our penalties need attention. Glad we raised the banner Friday for Vaughan instead of yesterday.
 
IBT, enjoy your trip to the UP...very competitive early season action, but we're 0-4-2 at home; enough said)...attendance is still disappointing...we're playing reasonably well, but (and this was a potential problem this season with no Youngs and our Swiss connection) need a "finisher"...Dartmouth has measurably improved (no surprise with Cashman in charge), but we've got to "steal" a game or two...and maybe a little "puck luck"...
 
Is Colton Point playing hockey this season?
Am approaching Toledo, Ohio, and realize Fort Wayne is at Toledo tonight.
I look at the Fort Wayne roster and he is not listed.

Elite Prospects doesn't list Point as having a team for 2023-24. Perhaps he hung 'em up. Edit: Status is shown as Retired.
 
Thanks all for the info on Colton Point. It has to be so tough to walk away from what you love and have done all your life to-date.

This morning, I am in Coralville, Iowa, watching Colgate’s Tyler Penner continuing his career with the Utah Grizzlies (against the Iowa Heartlanders in an ECHL game). Tyler’s roomie and friend, Dartmouth’s Cam Strong, is out after an ankle injury last season while also playing for Utah. Tough deal. Clarkson’s Nick Campoli just scored for Iowa. Quinnipiac’s Odeen Tufto just got an assist on another Iowa goal.

Hoping for a split this weekend, gotta win tonight. We took two of three against Q-Pac last year.
 
Congrats to Ryan Mcguire for his hat trick ! When was the last time we had one ? Labelle chipped in with two goals. A win tonight would be great.
 
4-1 on the road so far. Not bad. Maybe we should wear our road uniforms at home? And we score more on the road.

It seems that all we need is to get 3 goals to win a lot of games. It would have gotten us 6 points last weekend. Good to see Labelle with a couple of goals last night. I think he has the ability to provide some offense.
 
congrats to Ryan and the team in general...a much needed win, especially with Q-Pac up today...they are fun to watch, especially (as mentioned) on the road...
 
Loved the pic of McGuire on the 'Gate website doing his best impression of Shedeur Sanders with the magic marker watch on his wrist band...that young man has a sense of humor and needs an NIL contract!
