Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Congratulations indeed on the HUGE 5-4 upset win tonight (and even on last night's 1-0 loss).
I owe Nathan Fournier an apology... not only did Dartmouth go to Denver looking for a win... they got it.
As a Colgate season ticket-holder, I'll be the first to admit that you guys really held up the ECAC Hockey banner proudly at the home of the defending National Champions.
And I am especially proud of Cam Strong, who sparked tonight's comeback and got another assist later on.

Hard to believe that the woeful stats and record of Dartmouth was the same team that only lost by a goal Friday and won on Saturday over DU. What a road trip!

Talk about a “Rocky Mountain High” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. Who would have thunk it....certainly not me along with millions more but the only ones that count are on that BiG Green team, players and staff included so huge kudos to them. Like I said to Iowa based traveler ...that’s why you play the game, turning out to be very prophetic. This is certainly a David Slains Goliath, as I am still wondering how we played lost a tight game and bounced back to win the next game against a very talented DU team. Mark my words, you will be seeing many of those players in the “SHOW” soon.
It didn’t start off good as the BG got in penalty trouble and paid dearly as DU pots two PP goals in the first along with EV goal. So here we stand 3-0 down to a great DU and to further compound that, a BG that is scoring-challenged shout 24 hours earlier. But BG did not quit and cave in rather they fought like I have never seen and batttled back with 3 markers in the second to tie it. It this scenario was a month ago the result probably would have been a 7-0 rout. The goals were not pretty but they don’t ask how but rather how many. Most of the goals were the greasy dirty-type goals generated from behind the goal or goal line. Must have to say Jaillet did not have his best game after shutting out the BG the night before. Now started the third DU has constant pressure but unable to finish and now seemingly either they got frustrated and/or tired and BG takes over some of the play leading to another lunch-place type goal by Collin Rutherford his first collegiate goal, I am quite sure he will remember that goal. Sellar puts in a 180ft EN but DU did not quit as they scored right after that face off to make it 5-4 as the BG holds on for the W.
How big was the W? We will not know until later in the year as we all know coming into DU BG was not very good. BG were like beaten soldiers and just needed that glimmer of spark, hope to exult that confidence any athlete needs to compete hard and win. I just think this trip will give that confidence moving forward. Now some positives: newly created line of Graber/Sellar/Forman did some damage playing below the dots. They are all over 6’3”. Kevin Neily had a breakout game with 3 assists. What is so ironic that the players counted to the heavy lifting this season is that so much and the freshman are better with each game, Less, Demler, Rutherford, Baker, Forman etc. Thanks BIG Green for that early Christmas Holiday present!

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Prediction ....if the BG scores early and gets out to a lead, they could either steal a tie or win tonight as you know that DU team coached by Monty will come out with a flurry. Go Big Green...keep it up!
Now that the dust has settled down and euphoria is back to reality, the above was my prediction going into the second game on Saturday night. Well the BG proved me wrong yet again (it a good way) as they showed their grit and moxie to come from behind in a hostile environment against a stacked team from coach on down to players, by erasing an early 3-0 deficit and responding with 5 straight goals to take a 5-3 lead with less than a minute to play as DU scores right afterwards. Predictions are just those and outcomes/results are what only matters. They don't how but just how many and 5 was just enough on Saturday night. Go BIG GREEN! And again thanks for all those congratulatory posts!

Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Well I am hoping you are wrong but that's just unrealistic. However, this past weekend's success against DU will make for better games vs you guys and MN-D. If the boys can just keep half of that momentum it will do them very good as confidence is huge. Good luck at our Ledyard! Remember TUK TUK for Thai and Molly's and Salt Hill for bevvies. Cheers!
Hoping that your instate rival brings the Big Green back down to Earth at the end of the month.

Molly's? Did someone say Molly's?
Looking forward! Never been to Salt Hill? Maybe Saturday!!!Re: Dartmouth BIG Green Hockey: 2017-18 Season
Molly's is a good environment but gets a little tight in the bar area once it starts getting crowded whereas Salt Hill Pub has a little more space, either way you cannot go wrong. Good Luck to you guys!

I have to admire the commentors' good attitude, patience and support for a team that has a ECAC conference record of 65-72-15 since the 2010 - 2011 season. I would just like them to do something which would invigorate the program so that they could truly be competitive in the conference.
