Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
The Nailers are the same team that Kurtis McLean started out with before moving up to the Wilkes-Barre Penguins. Let's hope Colin has the same luck as Kurtis, who is still playing in Europe. If I remember correctly, Kurtis moved on to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and got pulled up to the Islanders for a few games. He got an NHL goal to his name, before blowing out his Achillies tendon and moving on to Europe where the pay is better.
Thanks to a trusty longtime Norwich fan, I came across this video today featuring Colin Mulvey '13 in their weekly video series "Know Your Nailers"
Mulvey has played in 24 games this season with Wheeling, potting four goals and two assists for six points so far. Nice three minute interview with a lot of references to Norwich.

I don't think all of the penalties against the Cadets on Friday night were bad calls ... but the call on Erik Lyrvall in the first period that led to the Castleton PP goal was a HORRENDOUS call. Terrible!
Having said that penalties are an issue right now with Norwich. The Cadets took a series of them in the Skidmore game on Saturday ... killed them off against a depleted team (Skidmore only dressed 14 position players) ... but if they do that against Babson or UMB this weekend they are going to be in trouble.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
So because Castleton scored on that certain penalty it makes it a HORRENDOUS call. You over exaggerate completely, and if most of you base your facts off listening to your color commentator on the radio than it will be complete bias. I can't decide if the NESN bruins announcers or the Norwich announcers are more one sided and degrading.
By the way Norwich D could have been called many more time for interference in that game. If you didn't know, officials made that a point of emphasis at the beginning of the year.

Team Beaver ... chill a little ... and get your facts straight! I, not my colorman (who was only working his fourth Norwich game of the season) said it was horrendous call ... and I said it WAY before Castleton scored on that powerplay. Your feelings about our broadcast are your opinion and your right ... but at least get your facts straight.
Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Puck Voice I know you have been to the Babson Skating Center to handle Norwich/Babson games. With Babson leading the ECAC E race by 3 points they can lose to the Cadets Friday and still win the ECAC E race since St. Mike's shouldn't be able to beat them. Are they only 600 seats at Babson like the website says or is there standing room too. I would say that if the ECAC E quarterfinals are at Babson it would be almost impossible for the average guy like me to get a ticket especially if USMASS Boston is also in.

Hawk,
I don't know what the actual seating capacity is at Babson but there is precious little standing room. Remember that this year there will not be a single site for the ECAC semi-finals and finals ... the four quarterfinal games will be played on campus sites (top 4 seeds) the semis will be played the following Saturday at the home rink of the top two remaining seeds, with the championship game the next Saturday at the highest remaining seed.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Did the 4 plus hour drive to see the Cadets as Skidmore---and it was frustrating to see the boys fire shot after shot at an opponent's goal only to come up short all to often. Once again our SOG outmatched them 2 to 1.
Delighted with the win but I had thought early on in the season and then have more recently begun to say here on USCHOL that the Cadets are drawing just too many penalties and all to often at the wrong time. This next weekend with Babson and UMB its show time--and now its time to step up regardless. Too many penalties then will just spell trouble.....
Puck Voice.....I cannot imagine you doing a bad broadcast. Go Cadets.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Trying to decide if you purely made an account to bash Norwich.....or your just so disgruntled from the Fenway loss that you have to toss wild accusations on the Norwich board. Babson is a fantastic program who I always view as very classy but you sir are doing nothing for your organization.
Do your research before calling out one of the best color commentators in the game. Name me one commentator that travels with a team and is so involved in the program that they aren't in some way or another biased. In my HEAVILY NORWICH BIASED OPINION, PuckVoice does a great job at calling the game and not too heavily favoring the Cadets. That being said, PuckVoice I've listened to you since I was lacing up for peewees, have always enjoyed the broadcasts, especially when I can't make it to the games.
As far as the games this weekend, the Cadets do need to do a better job at staying out of the box. Even though the PK is doing it's part, like someone else said, against a higher caliber team this will hurt them greatly. Skidmore did seem to be a frustrating game for the Cadets, glad they could pull out the W. Lots of blocked shots but that's always Skidmore's game plan is to clog the shooting lanes and block as many shots as possible...can't remember a Skidmore game...especially in their barn that has gone differently. Finally getting to Kreitzberg this weekend for what should be a great couple games. Excited to see Norwich take back their home ice and play some great ECAC foes. GO WICK!

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Excited to see the team come back home this weekend and see what they can do with their backs against the wall.
The playoffs practically start this weekend. Two wins and they do their part and then just have to hope for some help from St. Michael's on Saturday getting a W or a tie against Babson to keep the regular season title streak alive.
One win clinches 2nd place and two home ECAC East Tournament games assuming NU wins its quarterfinal.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
I for one certainly hope that George is bias towards Norwich, after all it is, in the case of the streaming, paid for by Norwich. As far as the Babson rink is concerned I have been there many times. Nice ice surface, but very little standing room. The program has always been a class act and plays good clean hockey. I think its great for the league that so many teams have improved their program.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
My only observation being a loyal Cadet fan is , that it seems like the last 2 or even 3 years I am starting to feel like the Cadets are playing better in the first part of the year than the end. In the past they always seemed to get better and better. You have to wander just a bit if the Coach is not losing his touch a bit. If I am a scout on Norwich it seems quite simple just stay around the goal get ready they will hit you with shots like a machine gun, once you weather the storm , just relax they will make a mistake and then we go in and score. They may get 40 or 50 shots on goal but not to worry they are of a poor quality. That is how all teams seem to be beating Norwich. They seem very dysfunctional at best.But for my eyes they were playing much better earlier in the season. It 's not suppose to work that way. I hope they can find there way soon. And let us not forget that the last time they went all the way was with mostly Freshman, so lets not go there with this team.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Hi Roy:
If we were discussing this Cadet team over a beer as a fellow fan I would understand your disappointments. Nor would I question your loyalty But had you made the argument above in quotes----I would have replied, "Hey, lets be fair."
First I am not so sure the team was any better earlier in the eason because the biggest complaint I heard back then was their play making and passing was beautiful but they needed to take more shots.
As for getting enough shots—but complaining that they are not quality shots...well in truth that remark really escapes me.
A week or so I said on this forum, "Actually, if you eliminate the two very weak teams that got less that ten SOG on NU--all the rest (19 teams) collectively have averaged only 19+ SOG verses 38 SOG for NU." But you now question the quality of our SOGs.
Roy, do you really sense that opposing coaches are telling their teams: "They (NU) may get 40 or 50 shots on goal but not to worry they are of a poor quality."?.
To that I would say that some how does not translate to the facts. How does any coach claim that against the statistics that NU leads the ECAC-E in scoring (3.69) and in defense (1.50). And as I also said last week, "We are certainly getting the shots but we just need some breaks." Last weekend with the same 2:1 ratio of NU SOG vs. Friday and Saturday’s opponents—we did not get a break against Castleton but did against Skidmore.
Now I do keep hearing on the broadcasts or see at games how good the goal tending has been against the Cadets and how opponents are jamming up the middle. I also see us drawing too many penalties at the wrong time. All that I get.
In conclusion Roy--- let me get this straight regarding McShane.
After 15 years and fifteen straight ECAC-E Regular Season Titles, ten ECAC-E Championship Titles, and 12 visits to the NCAA Finals that includes three national titles—McShane is now losing his touch? Really? The man has 29 players on a team where there are 15 freshmen (52% of the team are “newbees”). It is not like he can go up in the barracks and recruit some experience. And yet with a club that might be a bit better with a bit more experience—McShane has still managed to post a 15-3-5 record (ECAC-E 11-3-2). And actually within the ECAC-E, one might suggest that the only coach right now with a better record is Jamie Rice at Babson—a team we beat in Fenway.
Roy we are all fans of the same team. But lets not get caught up in that nonsense that Bill Beaney at Middlebury did a few years back where ever other remark on USCHOL was to hang Beaney in effigy--a many who won 8 NCAA titles. McShane and this team deserve our support right now. What's more the last word I would not use to describe them is dysfunctional--that is entirely unfair.
But you know that. Your pal. Old Rook

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Guys I am just glad that I have season tickets to what must be the best back-to-back games in the east this weekend. You got the top there ECAC E teams in total team offense and team defense in Norwich, Babson, and UMASS Boston. First time I have looked at the stats this season but I was surprised that Norwich only had 3 forwards in the top 50 in scoring in the ECAC E.
seniors Shane Gorman, Travis Yankee, and Chris Duszynski but were total is PPG (some balance).
Jamie Murray (Babson) has a SV of .948 with USMASS Boston Billy Faust SV of .947 so you got to wonder if the goaltends are going to be the key which they almost always are when the teams are evenly matched. I for one hope Norwich continues it rapid fire offense with the hope a few get through the screen. This weekends games are worth the price of a season ticket.
