Re: Dartmouth Hockey 2016-17 Season
Yale has the Big Green's number during the regular season as they beat them again 4-0 for a combined score of 11-0. However, we know and remembered what happen last year as the Big Green swept Yale at Ingalls to move onto Lake Placid. Yesterday's game was a tighter affair compared to the first game blowout. Yale had the slight edge in overall play. Yale's first goal was controversial to say the least it might of literally taken at least 15 minutes if not more to finally make a decision. The NHL does not even take that long. Even the official scores In College Hockey News changed the scorer a couple of times. This much is clear and that's about it: Walsh sends in a harmless high wrister from the point that Piotrowski flashes in front of the net on his forehand with blade open. The puck hit something or someone as it deflects down into the goal. If that indeed touches Piotrowski's shaft/blade it's a high stick and no goal but the refs ruled otherwise or maybe it just was not conclusive to overturn to call on the ice which was a goal. Now back to the regular game. Like I said Yale had the slightly better of the play. Tucker was tremendous as he stops Michalowski on a breakaway centerline in. Jasiek had an open net just to the right of the goal but he whiffed. Yale's D played played pretty good. Hayden scores again as he does his same extra-curricular antics after a play, whether its hitting after a play has been made (you might call it finishing a check but it is borderline late) or coming in after a whistle. Taking nothing away as he will probably move onto to the next level; for a guy that big he should hit guys in real time with the puck instead of when they are more vulnerable like after a pass or shot. Just my 2 cents. Juicy turnovers continue to plague the Big Green, notably on Yale's second goal. Lazy pass out of the D zone turns into a quick counter 2 on 1. Hartley/Graber struggled last night. You can't win if you can't score...5 on 5 did not really test Tucker and for some reason zone entry on the PP was not like it was in the last couple weeks.

. I thought my Knights were dead when they fell behind 3-0 in the first 12 minutes. WOW, what a turn around in periods 2 and 3. 6 straight goals and Clarkson can actually go into next weeks playoffs with some momentum.
