The Cooler collision on Feb. 10th, and hopefully one more in the NEHC tournament ( fingers crossed that's in the Cooler as well). Looking forward to some great D3 hockey from 2 top teams.

I'm thinking of going to this game, skipping whatever SUNYAC game is available.
Sorry I have been quiet since before Christmas, had a few health issue come up. Glad to see Albano has it in him. I have a hard time deciding who is the better goalie. That's up to coach to decide but Albano looked strong in the net even with our top D men out. Hope everyone gets healthy and gets cleared to play, we're going to need them the next 4 games. They way I see it, we need to win each game and then beat Hobart to get Top seed home ice advantage for the conference Championship. Not likely that Hobart will lose any more conference games, but you never know. Should be an exciting competition to the end.

Hope you are doing better!
Puck Voice/George Commo, I have dreaded this day almost as much as you. Thank you for your calls of the action and the devotion to Norwich Hockey. I have enjoyed each and every game you have called since 1999 when I first started attending games at Norwich. Heck I even loved to sit in the rink and hear you call the game on my transistor radio! You are an inspiration for all of us, especially those with Parkinson's Disease and other disabling progressive diseases. I knew the day was coming soon when you backed away from calling games with Craig this season, but the ending is still bittersweet. Wish I could be there at tomorrow's game to give you a standing ovation, but I'm in Florida and my health has some limitations at this time. I'm sure I would not have dry eyes if I was there and may even shed a tear or two watching on the computer. Please enjoy your semi-retirement and occasionally shout "He Scores" every once in awhile. We all will miss your voice and will remember you fondly. Thanks for the memories!
Gritty win. Wasn’t pretty at points, it they found a way to get it done in the third and keep pace in the NEHC. I expect a great effort tomorrow to wrap up the weekend.
This team *seems* to play to the level of the competition. Generally a negative, BUT, with a BIG weekend coming up next, hopefully will lead to great wins in NY

A worrisome trap game going into the third but Wick rebounded and found a way to win the game. At one point I thought that too many players were trying to out maneuver their way into the offensive zone, almost as if they were the only ones on the ice. Norwich plays better as a team not an individual, which proved correct in the 3 goal third period. Nice to see and hear George at the game. At the same time, the 1st two periods lacked flow since So. Maine constantly iced the puck and blocked pucks like they were super human. They really clogged up the front of the net and their strategy (if it was planned) almost worked.
Anybody heard any news about McKenzie, Thibodeau and Cordeiro and if they are expected to return before the playoffs? Sure would like to have Mikey back, and Thibodeau for that matter. Cordeiro appeared to have a significant injury but I hope he is back next year.
Need to have as many hands on deck and play great games for the next 3, Babson, Hobart and Elmira.

Flint likely knows the status of players, but he may need to remain discreet. I trust his analysis, insight, and judgment.
Hey Norwich fans ..... biggest game of the season Friday night
Where is everybody?
The Cooler awaits.
Waiting………Hey Norwich fans ..... biggest game of the season Friday night

but in looking at the conference standings, am I wrong in thinking Norwich’s points are short by 1? Hopefully will make no difference, but there may exist a situation where it does.
Hi
Currently, Norwich points are 40 (12 wins @3pts+1 OTW@2pts and 2 Ties@1 pt each= 40), Hobart is 14 wins x 3 =42). So if Norwich wins in regulation Friday, they are the leader going into Saturday's games by 1 point. If Norwich wins in OT, NU gets 2pts and Hobart gets 1 and Hobart will have a 1 Pt lead going into Saturday. If the teams tie, Hobart will remain 2 points ahead before Saturday. If Hobart wins in regulation they will be seeded first in the tournament regardless of the Saturday outcomes. If Hobart wins in OT, Hobart will have a 3 pt lead going into Saturday, but a loss by Hobart and a win by NU on Saturday results in a tie for the season (Tiebreaker goes to NU having a regulation win vs Hobart and gets NU first seed??) I think, I have this right but happy to be corrected. In any case, the fight tomorrow is for home ice in the NEHC tournament, but these teams will most likely see each other again . Looking forward to it.

I've been kind of busy lately but have cleared my calendar for the next 2 games. I thought Atherton played his best game this season vs Babson. He gave up very few rebounds and I can't help but think that having 2 very competent goalies makes the non-starting goalie better. Our advantage and I am confident, and I think the team is confident, in the both of them.
We have already beaten this team once, we have to pull out the big guns to silence the crowd at the cooler. Good Luck Cadets, you can do this!
Just realized this sounds vaguely like a threat and I don't want Homeland Security knocking on my door! Let me clarify- big guns are the puck shooters who get the goals. We have them and need to use them often.

What a horrible 1st period, by the looks of it I thought the final score would be 9-0. Glad they recovered in the 2nd and 3rd and made a decent attempt to win the game. Why is the first period a problem for Norwich? How can they go to the locker room for 15 minutes and come back on the ice a totally different team?

How can they come out against a team they have already beaten, with first place on the line, and play like that?
On the plus side, I suppose, is that they won't face Castleton...... not that NEC is much easier.

I thought it was more Hobart coming out Hot in the first period. Coach Taylor had them totally pumped before the game. Unfortunately, Hobart either starts hot or ends hot, but doesn't seem to keep it for three periods against a quality team like Norwich. So, my concern is letting Norwich back in the game like they did Friday when the playoffs come. The Cooler is the preferred venue but Norwich will be scratching for the tournament win as perhaps their only way to get into the NCAA field. Hobart blew it last year against Skidmore in the NEHC tourney, and had to travel to Adrian for the loss. BTW, the NEC goalie was awesome on Saturday.
