Dartmouth @ RPI, 12/4

Re: Dartmouth @ RPI, 12/4

Just prior to the RPI penalty they could have called DU for a pick and then for a hold.
I am finally watching and saw the last 1/2 of the second period. We did create some very good chances and if the officials just allow them to play we can put a couple in. Going to have to get traffic in front and shoot a bit up higher off the ice as this goalie is getting down quickly but leaving a lot of room up top. My concern is still our defense not showing enough force in push guys to the boards and not exerting enough effort in pushing the puck up ice. We have forwards that are far faster than the DC defense and we are just not getting the puck out to them while they are in full flight.

They've been angling all night. This isn't the women's game.
Because of all the calls against us, some of our guys are getting a bit gun shy and pulling off their hits. Dartmouth is big enough that you have to hit these forwards harder or they will just push you off and carry the puck in deep.

Dr. D. Glad to have you watching and connected. Have noticed that Buffalo is shading low tonight and we've been trying high. (Nanne & Miller each had a nice chance in the second just over the crossbar.) Ain't rpitv grand? :D

Yes. When deep in the forest, sometimes you have to clear cut.
