It played out and Harvard was by far the better team! Maybe see you in Hanover! Good luck rest of the way!

That's why we actually play the game! You might have short-term memory when the Big Green handed you your WORST loss of the season last year! It was never a secret that Harvard was better than the Big Green and I admitted as such praising your team and players. Also you weren't you the one who argued with me about Fox and you finally answered your own question. Go back and read all my posts regarding Fox and why I think he may be the best in college right now.

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Yes it was a royal pasting as the Big Green were only in the game for the first 10 minutes and once Harvard scored their first goal the night was over. Although I believe the Big Green had the play in the third but the outcome was well decided and Harvard just wanted to get through the remainder of the game unscathed. The skill level between the two teams in night and day. Fox and Donato did not disappoint but also add Badini and Walsh as freshmen. The positives: Matthews looks promising and paired with Yau are right now the most reliable, Clark in relief looked good in goal. The areas of improvement: Special teams and -2 giving both a PP and a Shortie while being "skunked"; Big Green still has a hard time gaining entry and setting-up, very little offensive flow, and goaltending. Well, its the beginning of the season and plenty of time for corrections and improvements until the March time frame when it all counts!

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
I didn't argue with you about Fox; merely pointed out that Adam got better in the D zone as the year progressed. You as I recall felt that he had problems handling one on one situations with a winger bearing down on him. Adam sees the game in ways that other D just can't. If you don't believe me, I can refer you to an LA Kings scout I spoke with who feels that Adam's intelligence and ability to see the play develop in advance will stand him in good stead as a pro.

I agree there have been plenty of surprises in Harvard-Dartmouth match-ups over the last several years, and that uncertainly does add to the fun.

*** And a quick question BIG Green: At home, does Dartmouth shoot twice at the front door end (sections 1,2,22)? I imagine so, based on availability for the Harvard game in February. And by the way tickets of $10 ($5 for kids) is a ridiculous bargain! We'll want to see Harvard shoot twice of course.

Need that info as well, coming up for the Ledyard tourney, thanks.
Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Crimson on the Glass and LTsatch, you are correct in that the Big Green will shoot at the goal closest to the front in the 1 and 3rd periods as their entrance to their locker room are in the D Zone in those periods.
Yes the tix bargain! I only hope that it gets more expensive from the standpoint of high demand which would mean putting a better and winning product out there. LOL!

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
It's Game Day as we are in ECAC play. Big Green needs to bounce back from the pasting it took from Harvard last Sunday. Can the team make the necesary adjustments needed to game plan for an improved Brown team. The games between these two teams have been historically close and it will probably will be no different tonight. So the key for the Big Green is to win the special teams battle coming out with a positive number or at bare minimum equal. Go Dartmouth

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
A HUGE BIg Green win vs a valiant Brown team that did not quit after quickly falling behind 3-0 at the end of one until they finally got their skating legs in at the start of the second erasing a 3 goal lead by scoring 2 quick goals...kudos for Brown for scatching back until the very end. And a much needed learning experience for the Big Green for blowing a 3 goal lead at home where they could/should have put Brown away and hung on for the W. The Kilistoff/Warpecha/Michalowski line played really well with their direct North/South game and playing below the dots with cycling and puck protection/ possession as they accounted for 3 of the 4 goal. The other lines did not did much including the top line of Graber/Kalk/Jasiek getting tons of PP time but enable to settle the puck and set up. The D pair of Yau/ Matthews continues to get tons of ice time in all situations EV/PP/PK as both are great skaters with good enough hands and skill. Buffalo had a good bounce back game with many key saves in the third to preserve the win. Let’s bring that confidence and swagger into a Yale team that beat Harvard last night.

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Nice win last night. Is D the "sleeper" team now?

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Thanks Mike Hutter! While that sounds **** for now and with me being a realist without rose-colored glasses, that "sleeper" term is is way too early in the season. We generally do play better at home so let's what happens when we hit the road.

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Hey, every blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes....BIG GREEN with a home sweep and a clean slate with a 4-point weekend capped off with a hard-earned 3-1 victory over a game Yale squad. While the shot totals were down on both sides especially for the Big Green it was far from a boring game as both teams played a a fast pace throughout only to be stymied by good team defense. The good: great PK with great goaltending as Buffalo stood on his head. There was one play late in the third with the score 3-1 where Snively threaded a beautiful tape to tape pass to a righty back door, maybe the off wing D man only to have Buffalo stone him going post to post.. Everything about that play was NHL-caliber the pass, shot, and ensuing save.. The Kilsitoff/Warpecha/Michalowski line continue to score as a "checking line". The top D pair of Yau/Matthews did not give up a EV goal while matched up against Snively's line. The other pairs did good as well. The areas of improvement: PP absolutely stinks with no set up zone time for the first unit of Yau/Matthews with Jasiek/Graber/Kalk; poor puck retrieval. The top line of Graber/Kalk/Jasiek are not doing much while most of the Big Green's scoring are coming from its so called "checking line". As much ice time as Yau/Matthews receive they have to be putting up points granted they are mostly going against the opponents top line. All in all a great weekend for the Big Green!

Welcome aboard slapperjack...I could certainly use your help in following and covering the Big Green especially from another set of eyes!

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
A HUGE BIG Green congrats to Daniel Warpecha for earning ECAC Player of the Week honors...like I have been stating, that line of of Warpecha/Kilistoff/ Michalowski or Neily has been consistently the best for the Big Green with no non-sense North South directional play. That line can flat out win body/puck battles in in doing so can lead to both offensively opportunities and more importantly get the puck out of the D zone when the opponent has sustained O zone time. Oh BTW they are the "checking line" as well matched up against the top line and W/K also pair up to PK. A final note, it is very good that the Big Green is getting some "love" and pub from the press...of course it has to be earned!

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
While we are the subject of nice street pub and cred, enclosed is this nice stat and non-hockey at that. We know it is in all the players' dream to make it to the "big show" but we also know how difficult that it. Hence, you get your education (degree) and weigh your options. The Big Green caters to the student/athlete. Cheers for the Big Green!

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
The Big Green comes crashing down in a defeat to the Big Red and for this instance the color RED is better than Green. Disclaimer, I was not able to watch the game but based on the highlights and box score it looked like total domination by Cornell. Just based on highlights: on the first goal puck luck for the Big Red as I believe Shoup blocks initial shot then Cornell player is left all by himself in prime scoring position; on the second turnover at the Big Green blueline where if Strong leads Yau it could have been an odd man break the other way but Strong leaves it short and it stays in the zone for a goal; third not sure but looking at and times on the clock , it looked like jailbreak from the penalty box as Cornell it wide open on weak side for a breakaway goal. No time to wallow in defeat but rather bounce back and regroup for Colgate, maybe we catch them on "come-down" after beating Harvard last night.
