Other than sniffing around in the transfer portal one wonders what the hell our coaching staff has been doing for the last three years...hiring a coach with virtually zero college coaching experience is not only perplexing, it is downright idiotic...and, yes, this is one of our "emphasis sports" at Colgate...
 
Tonight, sitting two rows behind the Colgate bench (and one row behind the newlyweds) for the final two periods, I couldn’t help but think of the old expression, ‘death by a thousand cuts.’ As a ‘Gate fan, that is what our 0-6 season to-date feels like. We aren’t getting blown out 6-1 or 8-0, but we are losing blood one shift at a time…

no PPGs, not ten shots per period, beaten to the puck in our own end, too many penalties (PPGs Against, or even just time we are on defense, not offense), stupid puck turnovers, too many opposition ENGs, etc. I can’t help but just watch the time tick by each game knowing that we are only one or two goals down, but we seemingly have no ability to even get one of ‘em back ourselves.

It is frustrating for us fans, but it can’t be fun for the competitive players nor the staff either. Can you imagine these bus rides home from Boston and Maine? I look forward to the breakout game when we get the monkey off our goal-scoring backs. I just hope it happens next weekend at home against UMass Lowell. Time is running out…

P.S. - last week, I saw a Colgate player struggle to get back to the ‘Gate bench with an apparent injury. Then between periods two and three, I saw our Captain limp out from the locker room to the bench for a TV interview (and limp back). And then tonight I saw a ‘Gate player in a foot boot at the fire ring in the fan zone pre-game (with Kyle Kim). Can I assume that those are all the same player?
