Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Good luck tonight Cadets. On another matter........
I need some technical advice. I had the first iPad ever sold and right from the start picking up NSN was a breeze.
I have since traded my old one in for the newest iPad but somehow it just refuses to connect with NSN.
I pull up their screen, get a message that says "mobile users click here."--and while it looks trying to connect when I do it---nothing happens. Is there some sort of App I need to download to get NSN, a secret decoder ring or hand shake perhaps, or something I need to know about? 
Thanks. Old Rook.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Excellent game. Well into the third period I said to myself,"I wonder how much time Norwich has spent in the Babson end?" In this 60 minute contest, I'm willing to bet it was 45. An awesome display of offense by the Cadets, and some superb defense as well.
by BOTH teams.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Your remarks are absolutely spot on. This team not only showed superb skills at keeping the pressure on but incredible heart and grit. Great job Cadets...great game Babson.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Great Game as I watched I just hoped one shot against NU was not going to cost
according to BOX SCORE 48 shots NU 10 Babson

Would only take 1000 tries, and 000 isn't the one, and 2320 isn't it (that used to be mine) so there's only 998 left
I'm back ...

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Time to pull for the Purple Knights
Was able to see the first period and a half before other things intervened - like dinner guests and the need to be polite.
I just wish NSN had on-demand availability some period of time after the game like NBC is doing with the Olympics. But even NBC wants to manage the availability of that kind of thing so they are forcing me to get up way too early tomorrow morning. (No archived version of USA-Russia, and no replay)

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
I echo the Saint Mike's sentiment--Bless you.
Clearly Babson was snake bite by the same serpent that has gotten to NU all to often this season. Last night it was Babson's turn since all is fair in love, war and hockey.
And for that "handful close to the end of season nay sayers about the decline of NU hockey"---I hope the Cadets finally proved themselves to you. My favorite was the suggestion that McShane had lost his touch.......
What a great young team with its 15 freshmen who were able to demonstrated that against two very good ECAC-E teams that we can beat the best in the conference. And yes, there is no question that the teams up and down the league are better than ever--which means rough sledding for every team in every game going forward. Hats off to Babson and UMass-Boston--both great opponents.
Next up for NU; Skidmore. They have managed to tie six games this season and took two other games into overtime. One they won and against NU they lost in OT. Clearly they are relentless and when I saw them two weeks ago in their barn they hung in there against NU. But as Puck Voice has pointed out at least twice about that last game--they only dressed sixteen players (I believe is what he said). Not sure you can play at the level of post season intensity without more depth on the bench. But they will give NU more than a good game--and that is where Norwich's head needs to be right now--focusing on Skidmore.
The ECAC-E Spoiler: Overall, I believe the most dangerous wild card in the entire ECAC-E deck is University of New England. They beat Babson in their first meeting and lost to them in overtime. In their last four games they showed they have some stuff including a one goal loss to their next weeks ECAC Tournament opponent: UMass-Boston (4-3).
My guess is compared to the first half of the season they are by now confident that they can play with anyone--- which makes them very dangerous. Underestimating them would be a big mistake. Good luck Cadets going forward.....

Yup Old Rook ... must agree with some of those naysayers we have seen in this space lately ... clearly both McShane and the play by play guy have lost their edge and are ready to be sent to the home.
Skidmore dressed 17 skaters plus goalies ... just one below a full crew ... yesterday at Castleton. And Aaron Beck, their leading goal scorer who sat out against Norwich was back in the lineup. They are a weird team ... only one win in their last ten games, but three ties and a bundle of close close losses. In this ECAC East season never take ANYONE for granted.
Also agree ... the sleeper right now is clearly UNE.

This is the big test now. The inexperience of this group has been a mixed bag - it was really good to see them put a comeback together, especially against a team with the style of play that UMB usually shows. Instead of losing their focus like they did in some of the losses against physical teams, they kept their heads together and didn't panic after what looked like an awful start.
No, I don't think either the coach or the PBP guy has lost anything. I do think some of the fans have become infected with "Oswegoitis." I for one, in a year which has been difficult for me have, as always, appreciated the efforts of the team and staff. The only thing I didn't like was when I had to miss a game which happened too many times.
As an aside - I don't like the playoff set up. I think the atmosphere for the "final four" made for a great weekend of hockey and is good preparation for the atmosphere at the Frozen Four.
If we have to split up the rounds like this, it should be a two game (or even three game) series instead. Structuring the playoffs for Pool C considerations instead of structuring them to reduce the chances of a fluke outcome (like when NU lost the 1-8 game to UMB) with a one and done set up is silly.

All the credit and thanks to St. Mike's for their help. Always a good thing when the travel partner can make it tough on the visiting pair

With Skidmore down to 13 maybe 14 skaters as the last game, seems that the faithful have no worries and want to project a calm politeness to not look ahead.

Re: Norwich Cadets '13-14 - A New Look Forward
Anyone else looking forward to the first round playoff game now that the Cadets took our breath away with last weekend's wins? And great thanks to our northern neighbors at St Mike's. We absolutely could not have done it without you.
