Colgate 21-22

What's with the new, drop back passes from the red line to the blue line? Seems like the latest craze that is unproductive and useless. See it with both M/W.

I agree 100%. Stop it before someone swoops in and scores a breakaway goal...we've come close to causing that several times when the trailing player isn't on the same page. A recipe for disaster...
 
Wish we were playing at home.
Ironic that we are 1-3 against Q/Y but ahead in the PWR. We’d been on their heels most of the season.

Can someone explain the NCAA tourney format with expanded teams, # of autobids and at-large? Is Harvard in, out, or on the bubble? What are Colgate’s chances with an early exit and no league hardware?

Anyone going to the Whale? Fun structure. Am contemplating, only 1.5hr drive.

Colgate and Quinny are in the NC$$ no matter what happens in the ECAC, HE or WCHA games. Harvard and Clarkson could be eliminated from the NC$$ Tourney only by the results of the ECAC and HE Tourneys.

Harvard is in as long as Northeastern wins HE OR Prinny is NOT the ECAC Champ.
Harvard is out if NE is NOT the HE Champ AND Prinny IS the ECAC Champ.

Clarkson is in ONLY IF NE wins HE AND Prinny IS NOT the ECAC Champ. If Clarkson gets in they are the #10 seed no matter what. Harvard I think can end up either #8 or #9.

Read the Pairwise Predictor thread for more detailed info about the seedings and how things are set up with the 11 team NC$$ Tourney.
 
Let's go Gate. Play smart and bring the pressure from the first puck drop. Beating Q and then Y/P in the Whale would be a great statement!
 
Another great come from behind win over an excellent Q team. Murphy would like to have the first one back but the second was unstoppable. I love this team's resolve lately. I never sensed they were nervous being behind in the third. That's also the second time lately we've seen Simpson as the winning goal sniper on that drop pass in close... a thing of beauty. Now if the God of Statistics is listening, we will happily concede Yale as winning the year's 3 game series if only we can...Go 'Gate.
 
That Allyson Simpson goal was a carbon copy play of her last goal against Cornell! They were identical! Notice that goals are scored over the shoulder, glove side...
What a thrilling, nerve-wracking game. I couldn't believe we were outshooting our opponent AGAIN and losing. My confidence with Murphy in net has skyrocketed, but she is beatable. We stayed out of the box more than usual, but still gave up a pp goal.
We know what looms large now...a Yale team that swept the season series in very convincing fashion, 2 shutouts. Hope we strike first and keep the lead. And stay out of the damn box!
Go 'Gate!!!
 
Just walked the puppy, put on the game, dissappointed Yale's ahead 1-0. Kalty had a breakaway as time expired in the first, goalie stopped her.
 
Such a well played game by both teams. Sorry either had to lose but Yale is here for good now and we'll see them again. I sense Gate was driven a bit by the need to legitimize in other people's eyes last year's "watered down" ECAC Championship and they absolutely did in spades on enemy ice. Two time ECAC tourney winner! There is a lot of confidence on this team now that they can win games regardless of how long it takes...
 
Congratulations to the "never quit" team! They are the real deal, they are fun to watch and they give their fans bragging rights. I am looking forward to cheering them on in the NCAAs. Go 'GATE!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!
 
The Women Raiders should be proud. They head into the NCAA Tournament with a nine game winning streak. And they beat all of the eleven ECAC teams the last time they played each of them!
 
Not ONE ARTICLE on the front page of USCHO about league champions Colgate OR Northeastern...but two articles about the WCHA semifinals. Hey, Admin...along with your non-updated scores on any given evening, this site ______.
 
ECAC CHAMPIONS!
Go 'Gate!
What a weekend. These ECAC goalies are something else...thankfully, Cornell/Yale/Qpac are all seniors
Vicky Chun on Twitter...pics/tweets...all Yale, not one mention or congratulations to Colgate, ouch!
Looks like 4 ECAC teams may qualify...what are the chances 'Gate will play a league foe for travel reasons?
Will admit last year's championship felt watered-down. This year was well-deserved! Winning a championship with a full league slate is definitely something to celebrate.
Where would we be without Kalty? She should have been First Team IMO.
CU later this evening with the NCAA bracket!

Congrats to Colgate on back to back Championships

Pairwise Predictor says 5 ECAC teams get in:
NC$$ Tourney playin and quarterfinals at home ice of seeds 1-4
1 Minn/Ohio State Winner plays winner of 8 Minn Duluth vs #9 Harvard
2 Minn/Ohio State Loser plays winner of 7 Quinny vs #10 Clarkson or #11 Syracuse
3 Northeastern plays winner of 6 Wisconsin vs #11 Syracuse or #10 Clarkson
4 Colgate plays 5 Yale (this time at Colgate)

Pairwise Predictor Thread from TTT on USCHO stated that the seeding guidance is:

.... they did say they are going to avoid intra-conference matchups in the first round if at all possible. So I think they would probably swap Clarkson and Syracuse.

EDIT: Note that they would NOT swap #4 or #5 in this case as they said explicitly that they will not move the #4 and #5 if they are in the same conference ......

In this case, the ECAC is guaranteed to have at least one team in the Frozen Four.
