We did play pretty well. We dominated in shots taken, shots on goal, even face offs. But somehow still found ourselves down by 2 goals at one time and down even fairly late in the game. How does that happen? We showed tremendous stamina all night and just kept up the pressure. Some of the boys played their best games of the season. If this is the way we will match up against Dartmouth, please let them be our first opponent in the playoffs.
Tonight we face a very different Harvard team than we saw earlier int he season and beat. They have a much more potent line up with their Olympians back and this one will not be easy. Since we are already locked into 6th place in the ECAC, we do not need this game to be a win. Just play well, work on some things, and most of all, avoid any sort of injury even something minor. There is going to be a little jockeying for positions among the teams currently ranked 7-12 and we could end up with several as possible opponents in the playoffs. At this moment, I think the preference for us should be Dartmouth.
