Re: EC vs. Manhattanville ECAC WEST Final
As much as I'd like to meet up with you again for another brew...
I don't think Elmira makes it. They don't deserve it.
2-5 in their last seven games.
Manhattanville is now basically even with them in comparisons. Manhattanville definitely gets Pool B IMHO and Elmira should be left out (and rightfully).
They sat on their lead in the 3rd period...the PP was stagnant and pretty awful most of the night. Elmira got caught playing Manhattanville's game most of the night.
Casey Tuttle had one of the worst games I've ever seen him play (sans maybe the @Oswego game last year)
Same old same old in Elmira...I hope they'll learn sometime sooner rather than later that playing your best hockey in the middle of the season gets your no where.
Hats off to the seniors.
Rusty Masters- you're a workhorse. Great career. You will be sorely missed.
Greg Moore- for the most part pretty steady and reliable D-man
Casey Tuttle- wish your last game would go down as something better. I know you'd like to have it back. But you won a heck of a lot games for EC in your four years. Wish this one didn't have to end this way.
Scott Gamble- Another steady d-man. Not going to score you goals or points. But man could he lay some hits when needed.
Wish it could have ended better guys. Thanks for the memories.
Hopefully I'll see a lot of you guys in Placid If i can get off work and make it up there.
Congrats to Manhattanville too. As much as I depise them. They deserved the win tonight and never gave up and definitely delivered payback from the 2006 NCAA Quarters game. Literally the EXACT same scenario. Valliantdefender...this beer's for you. Enjoy it.
Now go get your butts kicked by Middlebury, Oswego, Norwich, etc in the first round.
