I seem to recall him conversing with the refs over some matter, which would mean that he was acting in the role of captain. Was someone else wearing the “C” ?Something must've happened during the Belfast trip!

Dartmouth recap/A look at where things stand in the conference and national picture halfway through

Question, but what has happened to Goldstein? He had a good freshman year and has disappeared.
...what has happened to Goldstein?...
I...have the very same question re Villella...
So far as I know, both have been healthy scratches all year...which means they've been bumped down in the depth chart. I suspect Goldstein might get bumped up should something unforeseen make any of the forwards unavailable. And I'm as puzzled as anyone else re Villella.
I read the most recent blog article that cites the defensive corps injuries and have the very same question re. Villella (well, I can't confirm his level of play other than to say that he played fairly regularly as a frosh). Could they both be injured?
It turns out that Mr. Goldstein played in pain for much of last season due to a nagging injury that apparently didn't heal properly. He underwent surgery to correct the problem. Since half the season is gone, it has been decided to that he will "redshirt" this season and return next year as a R-junior. Hopefully he uses this year to add some muscle, which will help him next year in the role of "disruptor" where his speed is most useful. OTOH, Mr. Villela's absence has been a coach's decision.
Expect to see some or all of the injured D corps on the ice in early January. As for Pantano, the feeling is that he has played very well, even in the game vs. bu. He gave up a couple of softies against Dartmouth, but overall the guys seem to have the kind of confidence in him that allows them to play the speed game that they prefer. I'd give him an A- if I were handing out the mid-term grades.
TMM are you compiling the rankings?
The matter of the next goalie recruit is being attended to.
Happy Chanukah and then a Merry Christmas to all.
Thanks for following up, HHound. Obviously you're not at liberty to share how Villella got sideways on the depth chart, but surely he must be considered a transfer risk at this point, even though he's too old to go back to the USHL for game experience.
As for a goalie recruit, one candidate could be Thomas Gale who recently decommitted from Dartmouth. Both he and Scarpa went to the same prep school.
It seems to me that I read somewhere that bu is interested in him. They lose their Yalie and there backups haven't shown that they can be play at the D1 level consistently. bu may wish to bring him in after Chriistmas. I recall, perhaps five years ago, when BC had several goalie injuries, they also brought in a boy (Milosz?) from the Jr. Bruins. He played one or two games until the primary goalie returned - and I never heard of him playing again for the next 3+ years. I hope he parlayed his scholarship into a useful education and degree.
