Looks like we may go up against Cornell at Lynah. Yikes.

Actually, if the season ended today, we'd be at Dartmouth. The Green currently hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Red.

I believe we'd be at Clarkson if the season ended today...right?
Re: Colgate and Starr's last season
You are correct. There are still 4 games to go, and I suspect a lot of shuffling will be going on in the standings. Keep in mind, when the calendar turns to March, it really doesn't matter what opponent you draw, given the parity in the league. But if we were to face Clarkson or RPI, I think it may be advantageous for us, primarily due to the recent playoff futility of the aforementioned teams.

Wow. I didn't realize that Colgate is the only team in the ECAC to have lost 20 games already, and is one of 6 nationally. The others include Colorado College, Arizona, Michigan State, AIC, and Niagara.

Bummer, another loss to the Big Green. Nice comeback with two goals at the end of the 2nd, but just not enough juice at the end. What?.....3-4 shots in the third? It won't get any easier tomorrow night. Rest up guys.

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season
Mostly inexperience on the D-line, Finn having an ultra bad season, short bench - rolling three lines, and having the guts ripped out of the team when Ryan Johnson and Kyle Baun left early for the pros after last season.

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season
I have been asking myself this question since Game #2 of this season - that 9-7 loss to Mercyhurst.

Re: Colgate and Starr's last season
This is something that sometimes happens to college teams during the off-season. I don't think Baun leaving was a surprise, however, Johnson may have been. Regardless, you have to be prepared for these transactions with recruiting depth, and it seems depth is lacking at both the forward positions and back on D. Finn having an ultra bad season is confusing, since one of the reasons Juliano Pagliero was hired was because of his coaching background at the goaltending position. At any rate, here's hoping better days are ahead for you guys. Good luck!

Baun a power forward centering the Spinks made that line what it was. There's no replacement for him as Don has tried Murphy, Borkowski, Dauda and others to no avail. We lost Baun, Johnston, Goulakis, Wilson, Gentsler and Lidgett from last years team, that's a ton of talent and SPEED. This year we lose the rest, Spinks ,Murphy, Borkowski, Lough etc. I don't even want to think about next year. Their are at this point six forwards and four defensemen recruits coming in, if theirs no talent there we're toast.

This brings up a pet peeve of mine. Help me out here, why do we - and some others in the league - make our games available free, and yet those Ivy Lg teams insist on charging a fee to see their home games? It should be automatic that all ECAC hockey teams offer their video to fans without charge as a mutual courtesy to all. While I enjoy GR's broadcasts on radio it sure would be nice to bank on viewing the games as well. Isn't it time we all played by the same rules?
