Norwich 2016-17 Season Thread: ISO first NEHC title

Sodexho isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I ate it every day for four years and my only complaint was the bacon. No, the pizza isn't Depot Square, but it's not bad. Is Depot Square still open? I heard rumors.
Sodexho dining hall and catered events are good. Them running food at hockey and football, not!

This much we can agree on!

Again, my go to Kreitzberg meal is 2 hot dogs and a coffee. Hard to screw up! If I'm really feeling frisky, I might get a popcorn for the third period.

Who are the Cadets playing tonight? I know they are out of town. Are they squaring off with Mr. Emery and team? Not to be mean but one has to admit it is a lot of fun watching him blow a gasket over a call. He is almost worth the trip over the pond to watch. Go CADETS !!

Yes, it's Plattsburgh tonight. Interesting storylines. Cadets flying high heading across the lake to play a talented but slumping Cardinal squad that is apparently in a lot of turmoil.

This Norwich team is very good. If they don't start learning how to finish games when they're up, they will go NOWHERE.

It's happening again.... is a 7-1 lead going into the third going to be enough?
 
Re: Norwich 2016-17 Season Thread: ISO first NEHC title

What's that saying? The most dangerous lead in hockey is the 6-goal lead?
 
Re: Norwich 2016-17 Season Thread: ISO first NEHC title

You would've thought at the start of the third that the overwhelming feeling would be one of relief?

It's nice having interchangeable goalies, as I feel that Reichenbach just had a calm confidence coming off the bench. Of course, that's viewed through a streaming video on a tablet. With that said, when the Cards made it 7-5 I thought the D did a better job of keeping the play to the outside.

But man. Outscored 7-1 in the third period in the past two games. Somehow that still translates to two W's. But that just is not good.

I'm hoping we don't get a big lead in any games come playoff time. I'm much more confident in this team when the score is "normal". They just cannot seem to maintain focus when they're up big. It's frustrating!

That said, wins are wins and at the end of the day I'll take any and all Ws.

Trying to get my head around this uncharacteristic and extremely dangerous trend of giving up multiple goals in the last period. Historically, the Cadets run opponents into the ground during the last 20 minutes. Is this a question of physical and mental stamina? I thought the Cardinals skated hard for 60 minutes; not sure I observed that with the Cadets, especially in the 3rd period - lots of coasting. In the end, of course, I nice win. Thoughts?

It seems to only happen when they have big leads. It's like they lose focus.

Yeah, I thought they had plenty of energy at the end of the period when it became 7-5. But before that the Cards were skating circles around them. Up 7-1 they probably were calling the dogs off and then had trouble pressing the pedal. When it became 7-3.

Surely then The Rustic must be in a different category, because if not then this is just blasphemy.

Not listed. Neither is the Falls General Store (which I gather is good - it was closed for a long time when I left.

It is very interesting how each team each year will some how come up with some way of playing , that they might not want to be remembered by. This 3rd period tough spot they keep getting into could become there way of doing business. A bit risky one might think. I am sure it is not on purpose. I think in part they start worrying about getting hit hard and hurt, and protecting #20 and the next thing you know, the foot is off the gas and the brakes are on. The possible trouble for them is that the scouting on them will be all about the 3rd period rallys that other teams have all had. But they still have plenty of the never quit in them, makes you proud doesn't it?

Middlebury night! As was proven in the Primelink, throw out the records. Should be fun.
