This weekend is huge with Babson and Amherst coming to the Domes. I think most people are counting them out, but I think they have a chance with the freshman Sandro in net.

TenVanholt also needs to show up this weekend as he has zero points in five games played.

I think coach would leave the lineup the same after the Hobart win, but time will tell.

Amherst v EC

Amherst v EC

When arguably the 2nd worst ECAC/W team takes arguably the 2nd best NESCAC team to the woodshed may be a good omen for the league.
  • Maybe 250 fans in the stands. Perhaps the large crowds intimidates the boys at home!?
  • Two of Amherst's goals were really really soft. Sandro's still perfecting his rebound control craft.
  • The Depp / Shinkaruk combo has been the only consistent offensive presence so far.
  • The defense is steadily improving, especially in scrambles in front of the EC tender.
  • If EC can stay out of the box, they'll be okay
  • Whittle is still hobbling around in a brace, and his presence is sorely missed.

Babson v EC

Babson v EC

  • Maybe 300 in attendance today despite the announced attendance of near 600.
  • The boys were not near a sharp as yesterday's game, yet managed to gut out a W
  • The defense struggled stringing passes together
  • First two Babson goals were soft; an open wrister from above the circles, and a weak backhand that found the five hole
  • Sandro creates more rebounds than Carmello
  • Not sure what 18 is doing half of the time
  • Nice to see 10 get a couple
  • ECAC/W has a stellar OOC record (12-1-4) to date
My rant for the day: EC, which hasn't gotten a single vote in the polls, knocks off, in consecutive games, numbers #11, #6 and #3, and #11 was by far the best of the three. Why even bother until the end of November?
 
Re: Babson v EC

Re: Babson v EC

Personally, I thought that was a very sloppy win. Too many rebounds given up, two very soft goals, passing was terrible. If Babson had a decent goalie themselves, they would have won this game. Poor goaltending both ends.
A win is a win though. Sure does suck that we have to go almost 2 months without a home game after the Potsdam games.

With all do respect, Jamie Murray is a 2 time All-American First Team goaltender.....I'd say they found themselves a decent goalie.....
 
USCHO Article

USCHO Article

Nice article by Mr Costello on EC's recent success. Coach is quoted as saying that the team is "finally healthy," but doesn't mention #7 who was still hobbling around the arena last weekend with a brace on his leg. Interesting to see who starts in net on Tuesday.

Here's to eternal optimism and hope.
 
EC v Wesleyan

EC v Wesleyan

Weather was so nice, no excuse but to make the 280 mi trip to Middletown along with a couple dozen others.
  • Still way too many penalties
  • The guys working the hardest are getting the chances.
  • #3 was a beast tonight, especially on the PK. He should have gotten a chance.
  • Sent the puck out of their offensive end half a dozen times, most on the PP!?
  • Most of the goals came either a man up or man down. The first even strength goal was scored with a Cardinal lying on the ice at the other end of the rink.
  • EC really struggled with the puck in their defensive end. Looked confused at times.
  • Still no #7 ... sorely missed
  • Interesting mix of guys on the ice and stands both tonight and Tuesday. I'm guessing either the bug, or something happened at practice, and the doghouse was employed
  • Wesleyan must be really bad for EC to win that handily while playing at that level, albeit the Cards have virtually no guys who played juniors
  • Wesleyan's goal deflected off Sandro's stick to a d-man's facemask and into the goal, otherwise a clean sheet

Re: EC v Wesleyan

Does anyone know if Max Balaban is playing anywhere? I miss his Dad's postings.
