Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
Is there a good resource to track who is committed for next season? This link doesn't seem to be completely accurate http://www.eliteprospects.com/team.php?team=1339&year0=2018&status=stats

Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
When Heisenberg lists a recruit as "2018", that means that the kid is expected to matriculate in the fall of 2018 yes? If so, that's one huge class of recruits coming the year after next. Hope we have at least some commits for next year especially up front. Holes to fill after the seniors graduate in May.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
I actually have a business meeting this afternoon with a Yale grad. I'm wearing crimson to let him know that business aside, come 7pm tonight, his school is the enemy.
I don't often root for cold weather but this weekend's temps being what they are forecasted to be will only help keep the ice rock hard which helps our skating game.
Keys to the series:
1. Madsen has to be in top form because Spano is a top flight goalie. We need a big weekend from double M.
2. Continued hot play from the third line. Their emergence has taken the pressure off the first two lines. Keep it going this weekend.
3. Sound transitional play from D to neutral zone to accelerate the offensive zone attack. This is the first playoff weekend for Fox and Marino. I expect they will be up for the challenge but you never know with freshmen.
4. Don't take stupid penalties and cash in on our PP. The last home weekend against SLU and Clarkson should have provided the coaching staff with enough fodder to get the team focused on playing our game and not getting goaded into dumb penalties. Hope so anyway.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
This will be a good series amongst the historic heavy-weights although Yale is having a down year according to their standards. Harvard has more speed and skill whereas Yale relies heavily on their top line although Doherty emerged last week. Not sure if Spano will be in net after last week's performance by Tucker. He single-handedly stole Game 2 for the sweep against the Big Green.
Good Luck to both IVY Leaguers! Here's my fearless prediction...an IVY League team will advance into the semi's to Lake Placid! LOL!

Heisenberg has Walsh listed as 2018, but I heard he's coming this fall. So the list is not 100% set in stone.When Heisenberg lists a recruit as "2018", that means that the kid is expected to matriculate in the fall of 2018 yes?

At forward for 2017, Bowlby, Badini and Perrault are all having solid seasons in the USHL. Jack Donato is also coming and maybe one or two more?
Chatter I heard from scouts is Harvard should be very deep at D next year
Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
Okay so that happened. What a crazy game. Poor goaltending on both sides, defensive miscues galore (especially by Harvard in the first two periods) and some very questionable officiating and non-calls. Add it up and it was a game that should not have been that close but turned out that way because of the above.
Where to start. The positives.
1. Harvard's first two lines were on for the most part. Yeah there were breakdowns but when it counted, they came through. The seniors accounted for all but one of the goals and showed why they are such a talented class. Esposito was all over the ice and could have had a hat trick. Harvard should have scored at least eight or nine goals tonight. We missed some glorious chances.
2. The Power Play scored twice and had some very good zone time. Yale sold out to stop Adam Fox and it worked for the most part. But they paid dearly for that because they couldn't contain us down low.
The not so positives:
3. Madsen. He was BRUTAL. Okay, he didn't get much help but starting with the third period of the SLU game, he has given up 7 goals in four periods. That is not a recipe for success. He needs to shake off whatever malaise he was in and get his head on straight.
4. The D. Especially Clay Anderson who was BRUTAL+++++++. What does Teddy see in this kid? And why is he on the second PP unit? Not that everyone else played a stellar game. There was enough blame pie to hand around. We seriously need to clean up our D zone play for tomorrow.
5. The officiating. Because they failed to make some calls early in the game, by the end both teams were getting physical and nasty. Yale's strategy throughout was to bang us and pinch the boards taking away space for us to skate and set a play. But if the officials called even a halfway decent game, some of the end of game trash might not have happened. And it may work against the Bulldogs for tomorrow night because they certainly got Harvard's attention by the end and I'm guessing there will be a spillover effect.
I just want to forget this game. Will be interested to see if Tucker plays over Spano.

All good news. If Reilly Walsh is coming, we will be strong and deep next year. I'm just concerned about where the goals are going to come from given the graduation losses. We'll figure it out.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
Some leftover thoughts from last night's game.
1. Teddy's comments in the Boston Globe this morning indicated that he felt the team simply wasn't prepared for the grind of a playoff series having had a week off. He also took a partial shot at himself for not doing a better coaching job. Most of what he said I've already alluded to in a prior post. His comments toward the end of the article were a bit strange in that he expressed concern about the team getting back to playing its game. Maybe the writer took the comments out of context but a coach can't be openly worrying about his team's ability to focus and play its game at this stage of the season
2. Good crowd last night - for once it seemed like there were more Harvard fans than opposition fans. The band showed up which was nice. Hope they come tonight. Makes for a better atmosphere.
3. Clarkson beating Cornell was a surprise but it looks like the other teams will prevail going forward. Casey Jones is a former Cornell player so I imagine it would give him extra pleasure in beating his alma mater. I think that series will go three.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
Basically Clay Anderson out and Reilly Walsh in...assuming no one leaves early.
Harvard will have to win many more 2-1 and 3-2 games next year and the D will have to be more active....Offense down but bringing in Jack Badini (4th leading goal scorer in the USHL) as well as some other older frosh who should be ready to step in and contribute more readily.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
WRT the NCAA Fargo watch. Western Michigan lost, and based on RPI seems to be perhaps one more loss away from dropping out of the top 4 of #1 seeds. North Dakota won, and thus is still hovering just above the bottom 4 of #4 seeds. Selfish interest, as I'd really like to be able to see the Crimson in Manchester or Providence. Fargo as I understand it is over 1000 miles away, quite remote, and long sold out.
Correction - Western Michigan has slipped. Minnesota win.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2016-2017
I'm wondering if Wiley Sherman jumps ship after this season. The Bruins are in full rebuild mode and are looking to McAvoy to be their next stud D. Sherman is a left shot D which Boston needs badly as Chara is basically done. Wouldn't surprise me if Sweeney took a run at Wiley at some point.

Fargo is 1624 miles from Boston. I would drive to Manchester, I would drive to Providence but no way in hell would I drive to Fargo!
